Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.

In this paper, we propose to develop an inspection system that recognizes surface cracks on the brake pad and the types of brake pads of each car during the production process, on a conveyor belt. The brake pad is made from a mixture of materials, using high-heat and pressure. Therefore, the brake pad can be cracked and damaged on the surface during production. Our goal is to develop an effective detection system and application software to detect substandard product. A shadow is generated when the artificial light shines on the damaged of the surface of pad. Using the computer vision algorithm that is proposed we can detect the substandard product. Results from experiments confrim the performance of the proposed algorithm.

SrZrO$_3$ resistive oxides on Ag tapes were prepared by the sol-gel and dip coating method to investigate the effect of PVP content and drying condition on microstructure of the films. Although the film thickness increased with the addition of PVP, the amount of PVP and heat treatment were not effective to reduction of formation of microcracks at the films. However, lower drying temperature and longer drying time were beneficial to control the microcracks of the SrZrO$_3$ films, indicating that the microcracking of the films was governed primarily by the drying condition.

In this study, limit load equations of thick-walled pipes with inner and outer circumferential surface cracks were derived based on force and moment equilibrium conditions. Since the limit load equations based on the mean radius at uncracked ligament, previously proposed by Kanninen et al., are based on the premise that the pipe wall thickness is relatively thin, the existing limit load solutions are only applicable to thin-walled pipes. In order to analyze the effect of the pipe thickness and surface crack depth on the limit load results, the predictions using the present limit load equations are compared with those using the existing solutions for thin-walled pipes. Being derived considering the thickness effect, the limit load solutions from this paper are believed to be more accurate for thick-walled pipes than the limit load equations presented for thin-walled pipes, and thus to be valuable equations for integrity assessment of thick-walled pipes.

The compact tension specimen geometry has been widely used for measuring fatigue crack growth rates at elevated temperature when the fatigue load is under tension/tension condition. However, most of the elevated temperature components which have significant crack growth life experience fatigue load under tension/compression conditions. Thus test techniques are required since the compact tension specimen cannot be used for tension/compression loading. In this paper, a simplified test procedure for measureing fatigue crack growth rates is proposed, which employs a round bar specimen with a small surface crack. Fatigue crack growth rates under tension/ tension loading conditions at elevated temperature were measured according to the proposed procedure and compared with those previously measured by C/(T) specimens. Since both the measured crack growth rates were comparable, the fatigue crack growth rates under tension/ compression load can be reliably measured by the proposed procedure. For monitoring crack depth. DC electric potential method is employed and an optimal probe location and current input conditions were proposed.

The Unhyungung Water Container in the possession of the Seoul Museum of History in Korea is consisted of a calcareous marble developed laminated bedding and numerous argillaceous veinlets. This monument should need to conservation treatment because of black discoloration and seriously numerous cracks. Vertical and horizontal cracks in the monument are developed following stratification and argillaceous veinlets that are relatively low coherence between the rock materials. We have proved that the material inducing discoloration on the surface is carbon which is formed by deposited organic matters. As the result of the ultrasonic measurements, although highly surface weathering degree, the physical properties of the Unhyungung Water Container is confirmed slightly weathered state. The depths of cracks in the monument are calculated at maximum 60mm in some cracks completely penetrating into the wall and at minimum 9mm in the other crack. The cracks, developed following veinlet, are revealed that there penetrate from an outer wall to an inside wall for the monument. And most depths of cracks, developed following stratification, are calculated 20 to 30mm. This result will offer a significant data for conservation of the Unhyungung Water Container.

It is well known that cracks in concrete decrease permeability and durability of concrete because cracks enhance the penetration of water or corrosive chemicals like as chlorides, carbon dioxides, sulfates and some others. But some of cracks in hardened cements may be sealed in case of contacting water. This phenomenon is called "self healing" and it has a close relation to hydration products newly formed on surfaces of cracks. Many studies on self healing in concretes commonly showed that CSH gel has been observed on crack surfaces. And some studies have reported that calcium hydroxides and ettringite were observed as well as CSH gel on crack surfaces. This study was carried out to investigate hydration products formed by self healing process and also examine the influence of waterproof admixture for concretes on self healing of cement. As a result of XRD, DSC, SEM and EDX analysis of crack surfaces, it was found that self healing of cement was related to CSH gel, calcium hydroxides and ettringite. And waterproof admixture increased fibrous (needle-like) hydration products which were in network form. It is estimated that such fibrous products are effective for self healing process of cement system.

This paper deals with the behavior of surface crack growth and the characteristics of surface micro-crack distribution under creep and creep-fatigue with 1 min. and 10 min. of load holding times at 593.deg.C, in air. The test specimen is a plate type with a small artificial defect of type 304 the small defect has been carried out by the surface replica method and optical microphotography. The experimental results have been interpreted from the view-point of fracture mechanics. It can be concluded that the longer the hold time the longer the total life time. Most of surface micro-cracks initiate at grain boundaries before the specimen reaches 20% of its total life time, a few of them lead to fracture by coalescence with the main crack.
