The (B.Si)C composite was prepared form the mixture of metal boron, silicon, and carbon powders in Ar atmosphere by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis Chemical Furnace. The characterization of synthesized power and sintered body were investigated. The microstructure of sintered body suggested that SiC boundary was made between B4C grains. The most excellent mechanical properties, the relative density of 95% oftheoretical value, 3 point flexural strength of 360MPa, and fracture toughness of 3.6MN/m3/2 could be obtained in 80wt% B4C-20 wt% SiC composite were obtained.

기재위에 입혀진 코팅에서 발생하는 크랙킹 현상을 파괴역학을 이용해서 분석하였다. 코팅/기재 구조에서 굽힘모드시 발생하는 코팅크랙킹을 변분법을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 본 연구에서 유도된 변위에너지 방출량을 통해 기재위에 입혀진 코팅층에서 크랙이 확장되는 것을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 코팅의 임계 변위에너지 방출량은 재료의 고유성질이며 코팅크랙킹의 보다 근본적인 의미를 제공할 수 있다.

Electrical discharge machinable $Si_3N_4$ was fabricated with the addtion of 20-60 vol% TiN by gas pressure sintering. Their sinterability, microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties were characterized as a function of the TiN content. The addition of TiN up to 20 vol% increased the flexural strength and fracture toughness as compared with those of the monolithic Si3N4. For the TiN content higher than 40 vol%, the electrical resistivity was lower than $1062\Omega$.cm. The $Si_3N_4$ with the addition of 40 vol% of TiN appears to have the optimum considerable sinterability, mechanical and electrical properties, and machinability. A microstructural analysis showed that the enhanced toughening was due to the crack deflection.

ZrO2-Toughened Alumina-Ceramics (ZTA) with SiC Whisker as dispersive additive were prepared by pressureless sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$ and 1$650^{\circ}C$ and by HIPing at 1$600^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere. Effects of SiC-Whisker addition on microstuructural, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated and the toughening mechanisms between theory and experiment were compared. Specimens with 15 vol% Whisker prepared by HIPing showed 8.26 MPa.ma1/2 in fracture toughness and 600 MPa in flexural strength owing to contribution of the three mechanisms such as crack deflection, whisker bridging and whisker pullout in spite of difference between the theoretical and experimental values due to the partial inhomogeneous dispersion of SiC-Whisker in the matrix and the processing flaw.

Fine Si-Al-OH coprecipitate powders were prepared from Si- and Al-alkoxides by the hydrolysis method. $\beta$-Sialon powder was obtained from prepared Si-Al-OH coprecipitate by the simultaneous reduction and nitridation method. The syntehsized Sialon powder was pressureless sintered at 175$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 min in N2 atmosphere. The characterization of the Sialon powder was performed with XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and particle size analysis. The sinterability and mechanical properties of sintered bodies were investigated in terms of relative density, M.O.R., fracture toughness, hardness and the morphology of microstructure. The highest values of their mechanical properties were obtained for the $\beta$-Sialon ceramics at Z=1 and those values are as follows : M.O.R., KIC and HV of $\beta$-Sialon ceramics(Z=1) are 499.1 MPa, 5.9MN/m3/2 and 18.7GPa, respectively.

This paper illustrates an experimental study on a self compacting polymer concrete called isobeton made of polyurethane foam and expanded clay. Several experiments were conducted to characterize the physic-mechanical properties of the considered material. Application of the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) and determining the toughness of two isobetons based on Belgian and Italian clay, was conducted to determine the stress intensity factor $K_{IC}$ and the rate of releasing energy $G_{IC}$. The material considered was tested under static and dynamic loadings for two different samples with $10{\times}10{\times}40$ and $10{\times}15{\times}40cm$ dimensions. The result obtained by the application of the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) shows that is optimistic and fulfilled the physic-mechanical requirement of the study.

The service demands of railway vehicles have become severe in recent years due to a general increase in operating speeds. It is very important to evaluate the fracture mechanics characteristics with respect to high-speed train wheel. In the present study, fracture mechanics characterization tests were carried out in accordance with various wheel materials. The result shows that fracture mechanics characteristic should be considered in the design code of the wheel materials.

Elastic-plastic fracture toughness JIC can be used a s an effective design criterion in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Among the JIC test methods approved by ASTM, unloading compliance method was used in this study. In order to examine the relationship between fracture behavior of JIC test and AE signals, the post processing of AE signals has been carried out by Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT), one of the time-frequency analysis methods. The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of characterization of AE signals for unloading compliance method of JIC test. As a result of time-frequency analysis, we could extract the AE from the raw signal and analyze the frequencies in AE signal at the same time. AE signal generated by elastic-plastic fracture of material has some different aspects at elastic and plastic ranges, or the first portion of crack growth by fracture. First of all, increased energy recorded and detected by using AE count method increase rapidly from the start of ductile fracture. The variation of main frequency range with time-frequency analysis method could be confirmed. We could know fracture behavior of interior material by examination AE characteristics generated in real-time when elastic-plastic fracture occurred in material under loading.

A comparative study was performed on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of STD11 and 8Cr steel. The specimens were quenched from $1030^{\circ}C$ and tempered at $240^{\circ}C$ and $520^{\circ}C$. Vickers hardness, impact toughness and tensile tests were conducted at various tempering temperatures. Microstructural characterization to measure grain size, volume fraction of retained austenite and distribution of carbides was carried out by using SEM, EBSD, TEM and X-ray diffraction techniques. Due to finer $M_7C_3$ carbides dispersed, 8Cr steel showed larger impact toughness and plasticity than STD11 irrespective of the tempering temperature. While 8Cr steel had lower hardness in as-quenched state and after tempering at $240^{\circ}C$ owing to smaller carbide content and more retained austenite, it was harder after tempering at $520^{\circ}C$ due to larger precipitation hardening from finer $M_{23}C_6$.

Chalcogenide glasses having IR (8~12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) transmittance were prepared and their densities, thermal and mechanical properties, IR-transmittances and chemical durabilities were determined. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) of Ge-As-Se, Ge-As-Se-Te and Ge-SE-Te system glasses were in the range of 280~3$65^{\circ}C$, 210~236$^{\circ}C$ and 210~26$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Crystallization temperature (Tc) of Ge-Se-Te system glass was in the range of 305~40$0^{\circ}C$. Their thermal expansion coefficients($\alpha$) were in the range of 11.7~15.2$\times$10-6/K, 15.4~16.0$\times$10-6/K and 17.4~27.8$\times$10-6/K, respectively. Their MOR, hardness and fracture toughness were in the range of 15.2~18.6MPa, 36.1~58.2Kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, 1.0~1.3 MPa.mm1/2, 18.9~24.9 MPa, 40.9~65.1Kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, 1.3~1.5 MPa.mm1/2, and 24.1~30.8 MPa, 40.9~86.0Kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, 1.4~1.8 MPa.mm1/2, respectively. IR transmittance of Ge-Se-Te system glass was about 60%. Ge-O extrinsic absorption peaks at 8, 12 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were significantly eliminated by the addition of Mg. Chemical durabilities in deionizied water of Ge-Se-Te system glass were good and IR-transmittances decreased with leaching time and temperature.
