The effect of rubber mold on densification behavior of pure iron powder was investigated under cold isostatic pressing. The thickness effect of rubber mold was also studied. The elastoplastic constitutive equation based on the yield function of Shima and Oyane was implemented into the finite element program(ABAQUS) to predict compaction responses of metal powder under cold isostatic pressing. The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on Moony-Rivlin and Ogden strain energy potentials was also employed to analyze deformation of rubber mold. The coefficients of the strain energy potentials were obtained from tension and volumetric compression data of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for densification of pure iron powder under cold isostatic pressing.

In order to investigate the dynamic impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced full light-weight concretes, we implemented drop weight impact test on a total of 6 reinforced beams with 0, 1 and 2%, steel fiber volume fraction. The purpose of this test was to determine the failure modes of beams under different impact energies. Then, we compared and analyzed the time-history curves of impact force, midspan displacement and reinforcement strain. The obtained results indicated that the deformations of samples and their steel fibers were proportional to impact energy, impact force, and impact time. Within reasonable ranges of parameter values, the effects of impact size and impact time were similar for all volumetric contents of steel fibers, but they significantly affected the crack propagation mechanism and damage characteristics of samples. Increase of the volumetric contents of steel fibers not only effectively reduced the midspan displacement and reinforcement strain of concrete samples, but also inhibited crack initiation and propagation such that cracks were concentrated in the midspan areas of beams and the frequency of cracks at supports was reduced. As a result, the tensile strength and impact resistance of full light-weight concrete beams were significantly improved.

The results of a series of triaxial compression tests on remolded normally consolidated clay are compared with the predictions .by the isotropic single -hardening constitutive model, which incorporates eleven parameters. The parameters can be determined from undrained triaxial compression tests on isotropically consolidated specimens of remolded clay. The model with the determined parameters is applied to predict the stress-strain and pore pressure behaviors for untrained triaxial compresion tests on anisotropically consolidated specimens. Also the model is utilized to predict the stress strain and voltmetric strain behavior for drained triaxial compression tests on both isotropic and anisotropic specimens. The predicted response agrees well with the measured behavior for undrained triaxial compression tests on not only isotropically but also anisotroically but also anisotropically consolidated specimens. The initial volumetric strain is, however, predicted to be less than the measured value from drained triaxial compression tests, while the predicted volumetric strain close to failure is greater than the measured value. Nevertheless, it may be stated generally that overall acceptable predictions are produced. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the applicability of the model on prediction of the behavior of normally consolidated clay is achieved sufficiently.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the crack characteristics by performing the compression test of the rock and concrete specimens. The experiments are carried out by using strain sensors which can measure length change and the AE sensor which can detect the elastic wave from the crack. The crack volumetric strain calculated from measured strain is shown in different shape on the rock and the concrete specimens. This is because the specimens have a different degree of brittleness. However, the crack volumetric strain associated with the fracture and damage was similar to accumulated AE energy of the two specimens. This means that the AE sensor can assess damage in real time without damaging the structure.

The analytical model capable of predicting stress vs. strain relations for circular FRP-confined concrete in a rational manner is proposed. The underlying idea is that the volumetric expansion due to progressive microcracking is an important measure of the extent of damage in the material microstructure. Various existing analytical models including the proposed were also investigated, and compared each other and with test results.

During this study, various stress path tests in previous isotropic and anisotropic (compression and tension) stress histories are performed on weathered granite soil sampled at Iksan, Jeonbuk. Yielding points are determined from various stress-strain curves(stress ratio-shear strain, volumetric strain, normalized energy and dissipated total energy curves). The shape and characteristics of isotropic and anisotropic yielding curves are examined. The main results are summarized as follows . 1) Yielding curries defined from stress ratio - normarized energy and dissipated total energy curves show almost perfect ellipse. 2) Directions of plastic strain incremental vector are not perpendicular to yielding curve. 3) Normarized energy and dissipated total energy spread with similar tendency with respect to yielding currie in stress space.

In this study, obtained large block sample and piston sample of marine clay in korea were performed unconfined compression and consolidation test. Soil properties of two type samples such as failure strain, between two parameter's ratio($E_{50}$ and $q_u$), and volumetric strain were used to evaluate sample disturbance. The result, large block samples show a low disturbance than piston samples. Therefore, we suggest new sample disturbance evaluated method through the relation of OCR and volumaric strain at shallow of marine clay in Korea and suggest new sample disturbance classified method by subdivided grade for failure strain of unconfined compression test.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMG) have been greatly improved by the advance of synthesis process during last three decades. It was also found that the Glass Forming Ability (GFA) strongly depends on the glass transition temperature. When the temperature approaches to a critical value, the crystals nucleation from the supercooled liquid can be suppressed so that bulk glass formation possible. Egami and others found that the local glass transition temperature depends on the volumetric strain of each atom and suggested the critical transition temperature. In this paper, we explore the strain dependency of local glass transition temperature using the atomic strain defined by the deformation tensor for the Voronoi polyhedra.

Computation of flexural ductility of reinforced concrete beam sections has been proposed by taking into account strain rate sensitive constitutive behavior of concrete and steel, confinement of core concrete and degradation of cover concrete during load reversal under earthquake loading. The estimate of flexural ductility of reinforced concrete rectangular sections has been made for a wide range of tension and compression steel ratios for confined and unconfined concrete at a strain rate varying from $3.3{\times}10^{-5}$ to 1.0/sec encountered during normal and earthquake loading. The parametric studies indicated that flexural ductility factor decreases at increasing strain rates. Percentage decrease is more for a richer mix concrete with the similar reinforcement. The confinement effect has marked influence on flexural ductility and increase in ductility is more than twice for confined concrete (0.6 percent volumetric ratio of transverse steel) compared to unconfined concrete. The provisions in various codes for achieving ductility in moment resisting frames have been discussed.

The material properties of rubber was determined by the experiments of uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, planer tension, equi-biaxial tension and volumetric compression. In compression test, it is difficult to obtain the pure state of compression stress and strain due to friction force between the specimen and compression platen. In this study, the stress and strain data from the equi-biaxial tension test were converted to compression stress and strain and compared to a pure state of simple compression data when friction was zero. The compression test device with the tapered platen was proposed to overcome the effect of friction. It was fumed out that the relationship of the stress and strain using the tapered platen was in close agreement with the pure compressive state.
