The dynamic propagation of an interface crack between two dissimilar functionally graded layers under anti-plane shear is analyzed using the integral transform method. The properties of the functionally graded layers vary continuously along the thickness. A constant velocity Yoffe-type moving crack is considered. Fourier transform is used to reduce the problem to a dual integral equation, which is then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate (DERR) are presented. Followings are helpful to increase of the resistance of the interface crack propagation of FGM: a) increase of the gradient of material properties; b) increase of the material properties from the interface to the upper and lower free surface; c) increase of the thickness of FGM layer. The DERR increases or decreases with increase of the crack moving velocity.

Ni/Ni-aluminide/Ti/Ti-aluminide laminate composite, considered as a functionally gradient material, was manufactured by thin foil hot press technique. Thick intermetallic layers of NiAl and $TiAl_3$ were formed by a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction, and thin continuous taters of $Ni_3Al$ and TiAl were formed by a solid-state diffusion. Fracture resistance with loading along the crack arrester direction is higher than crack divider direction due to the interruption of crack growth in metal layers. The $Ni_3Al$ and NiAl intermetallic layer showed cleavage and intergranular fracture behavior, respectively, while the fracture mode of $TiAl_3$ layer was found to be an intragranular cleavage. The debonding between metal and intermetallic layer and the pores were observed in the Ni/Ni-aluminide layers, resulting in the lower fracture resistance. With the results of acoustic emission (AE) source characterization the real time of failure and the effect of AE to crack growth could be monitored.

최근 우리나라에서는 하천의 생태 및 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 기능을 상실한 보들이 철거되고 있으나, 보 철거에 따른 하천의 변화에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 한탄강의 고탄보 철거 전 후의 물리적 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 하상변동, 하상재료의 변화, 가시적인 하천 형태의 변화등을 조사하여 그 결과를 정리, 분석하였다. 물리적 변화는 크게 대규모 평면 변화와 소규모 종단 및 횡단 변화로 나눌 수 있다. 평면 변화는 퇴적지, 하중도 및 제방 등의 변화를 포함하며, 이러한 변화 양상을 분석하기 위하여 주기적으로 촬영된 사진과 영상을 비교 분석 하였다. 또한, 하상의 종 횡단 변화를 연구하기 위해 철거 전 후와 홍수 후에 하천 단면 측량을 실시하여, 보 철거에 따른 미세 지형 변동을 파악하였다. 또한, 하상 재료의 변화를 연구하기 위해 홍수 전후의 하상 재료에 대한 입도분석을 실시하였으며, 홍수 시에는 부유사를 채취하여 유사량을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 보철거 전 후의 물리적 변화를 관찰하기 위한 방법을 제시하였으며, 하상변동 관찰 결과보 철거로 인해 상류에서는 침식현상이, 하류에서는 퇴적현상이 발생하여 점차 평형 하상 경사로 복원되어가는 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 고탄보의 경우는 하상이 자갈과 거석으로 구성되어 있어, 하상재료의 변화는 미미하였다.

이종 재료의 접합에 대한 연구는 단일 재료에서 얻을 수 없는 물리적/기계적 특성과 이종 재료의 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있어 국내외 적으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 이종 접합 기술은 구조재료와 에너지 변환분야에 가장 많이 사용되고 있으며, 그 외 광촉매와 Thin film, 경량구조재료 등에도 사용되고 있다. 그 중 FGM(Functional Graded Materials)는 조성의 점진적인 변화를 통하여 접합하는 방법으로 이종 재료 접합 시 발생하는 내부 응력을 해소해줌으로써 적합한 방법이라고 할 수 있다. FGM 제작에 사용되는 방법으로 널리 알려진 것들로는 plasma spraying, 원심주조, 분말 야금법, PVD, CVD 그리고 EPD(electrophoretic deposition) 등이 있다. 이중에서 EPD는 수용액이나 유기용매와 같은 분산매체 중에 콜로이드 입자의 표면에 대전되는 전하를 이용하여, 외부에서 전장을 걸어서 입자의 움직임을 제어하는 기술이다 EPD는 코팅 속도가 상대적으로 빠르고 두꺼운 코팅 층 제작이 가능하다. 또한 바인더, 윤활제 또는 가소제를 사용하지 않고 다양한 종류와 모양의 기판 위에 균일한 코팅이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ni substrate를 이용하여 그 위에 Ni과 $Al_2O_3$의 조성을 점진적으로 변화시켜 FGM을 EPD 방법으로 코팅하였다. 여기서 사용된 Ni은 높은 녹는점과 좋은 연성으로 인해 성형이 용이하여 구조재료로 적합하며, $Al_2O_3$는 고내열성과 내부식성을 가지며 경도가 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 EPD 방식을 이용하여 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅하였으며, 코팅 후 발생하는 substrate와의 접착력 문제를 해결하기 위해서 건조 방식과 substrate의 표면 상태를 최적화하여 다층의 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅 및 소결하였다. Zeta-potential 측정을 통해 electrophoretic mobility와 suspension의 분산 안정도를 평가 할 수 있었으며, X-ray 회절 분석(XRD)을 통하여 Ni 의 환원 여부를 확인하였다. 또한 Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) 분석을 통하여 미세구조 분석을 하였고, 최종적으로 Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) 를 이용하여 다층 구조의 조성변화를 확인함으로 Ni/$Al_2O_3$의 FGM 코팅이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.

MMCs were manufactured in two different forms. One was two-layered non FGM composite and the other was four-layered FGM composite. The matrix used in this study was AZ31 magnesium alloy and the reinforcement was $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}$. The composite materials contained reinforcement fibers with a volume fraction of 0, 15, 25 and 40%. Squeeze infiltration method was used for the fabrication of each block. The thermal properties of the FGM alloy and composite joints were studied by conducting thermal cycling tests. The numerical calculation (the finite elements method-FEM) results exhibited a good agreement with the experimental results. Thermal stresses induced by thermal cycling test were clearly reduced in the functionally graded materials.

Equations of motion for the vibration analysis of rotating pre-twisted beams with functionally graded material properties are derived in this paper. Based on Timoshenko beam theory, the effects of shear and rotary inertia are considered. The pre-twisted beam has a rectangular cross-section and is mounted on a rotating rigid hub with a setting angle. Functionally graded material (FGM) properties are considered along the height direction of the beam. The equations of stretching and bending motion are derived by Kane's method employing hybrid deformation variables. To validate the derived equations, natural frequencies of a rotating FGM pre-twisted beam are compared to those obtained by a commercial software ANSYS. The effects of the pre-twisted angle, slenderness ratio, hub radius, volume fraction exponent, and angular speed on the modal characteristics of the system are investigated with the proposed model.

Mechanical strength of functionally graded composite plates that composed of ceramic, functionally graded material and metal layers is investigated using 3-D finite element method. In FGM layer, material properties are assumed to be varied continuously in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of a ceramic and metal. The 3-D finite element model is adopted by using an IS-node solid element to analyze more accurately the variation of material properties in the thickness direction. Numerical results are compared with those of the previous works. In addition, the displacements, the tensile stresses and the compressive stresses are analyzed for the variation of FGM thickness ratio and volume fraction distribution.Mechanical strength of functionally graded composite plates that composed of ceramic, functionally graded material and metal layers is investigated using 3-D finite element method.

Metal/Ceramic structures have many attractive properties, with great potential for applications that demand high stiffness, as well as chemical and biological stability, thermal and electrical insulation. They are currently in use for mechanical and thermal protection in cutting tool and engine parts. With all their great advantage, ceramics suffer from one major problem they are brittle, and are especially susceptible to cracking from surface contacts. Delamination at the interfaces with adjacent layers is a particularly disturbing problem, and can cause premature failure of a composite system. so determination of adhesive properties of coating is one of the most important problems for the extension of the use of coated materials. In this work, mechanical characteristics of Interface of ceramic/Metal composites are evaluated by means of hardness test, indentation test apparent interfacial toughness and bonding strength test. The interface indentation test provides a relation between the applied load(P) and the length of the crack(a) created at the interface between the coating and the substrate.

A vacuum Interrupter (VI), a core part that composes the breaking part of medium-voltage vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), has the excellent insulation performance and arc-extinguishing capability. $SF_6$ gas had been used for the external insulation of VIs since the dielectric strength of $SF_6$ gas is superior to that of other insulation gases. However, because of environmental problems related with global warming, a solid-insulated technology was recently researched. The functionally graded material (FGM), as changing spatially the distribution of the relative permittivity inside an insulator, can reduce the electric field stress at the specific region. Especially, the external insulation performance of the VI with the molded FGM insulator is greatly improved as compared with that of the existing VI or the VI with a new external shield. In this paper, the effectiveness of this FGM insulator is verified by the numerical simulation.
