In many fiber concrete beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), debonding occurs between the carbon sheets and the concrete due to the low strength of the bonding resin. A total of 42 fiber concrete beams with a cross-section of 10×10 cm with a span length of 50 cm are fabricated and retrofitted with CFRP and subjected to a 4-point bending test. Graphene Oxide (GO) at 1, 2, and 3 wt% of the resin is used to improve the mechanical properties of the bonding resins, and the effect of length, width, and the number of layers of CFRP and resin material are investigated. The crack pattern, failure mode, and stress-strain curve are analyzed and compared in each case. The results showed that adding GO to polyamine resin could improve the bonding between the resin and the fiber concrete beam. Furthermore, the optimum amount of nanomaterials is equal to 2% by the weight of the resin. Using 2% nanomaterials showed that by increasing the length, width, and number of layers, the bearing and stiffness of fiber concrete beams increased significantly.

최근 의료 영상 센서는 급속도로 발전을 이룩하여 미세 병변의 위치와 그 크기를 진단하는 데에 많은 이용이 되고 있다. 하지만 기존 flat panel형태의 의료영상 센서는 인체의 굴곡으로 인한 영상 왜곡으로 발전의 한계에 이르고 있는 실정이다. 이 영상 왜곡으로 인한 오진은 환자에게 불필요한 피폭, 수술적 요법, 약물치료 등 환자에게 치명적인 의료사고를 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 flexible substrate을 이용한 투명전극들이 의료영상 센서로서의 적용을 연구 되어 졌다. IZO, ITO, FTO 등의 투명전극들 중 Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)는 다른 전극에 비해 높은 투명도와 낮은 저항으로 인하여 다양한 부분에서 널리 이용 되고 있다. 그러나 ITO를 flexible substrate로 적용 시 불충분한 resistivity와 기계적 강도를 지니고 있으며, 유연성을 위해 전극 재료의 두께를 감소시키면 전도성의 문제를 일으키는 단점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완 및 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 sputtering magnetron system를 이용하여 polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate 위에 ITO을 증착함으로써 전기적 특성을 알아보았다. PET 필름의 크기를 55 절단하였고 증착 온도는 고온에서 수축하는 PET 필름의 물성을 고려하여 $23^{\circ}C$로 설정 하였다. 가스의 분압 비를 Ar는 50ccm으로 고정하고 O2의 비율을 각각 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1ccm으로 나눈 후, 비율에 따라 각각 30, 60, 90sec간 sputtering 증착을 하였다. 또한 각각 30, 60, 90sec간 sputtering 증착하여 O2 유량과 sputtering 증착 시간의 변화에 따른 ITO의 전도특성과 유연성에 대한 전도특성을 측정하였다. 유연성을 측정하기 위해선 bending 각도를 각각 $0^{\circ}$ $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$로 구부린 후, Two-point probe를 이용하여 변화된 저항을 통해 ITO의 전기적 성질의 변화를 측정 하였다. 측정결과 flexible ITO substrate의 전도특성은 sputtering 증착시간이 증가할수록 저항 값이 낮아지는 것을 확인하였지만, O2 유량이 증가 시 저항이 낮아지다가 다시 증가하는 결과를 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 Ar:O2의 50:0.8의 조건에서 90sec동안 sputtering 증착한 ITO가 131 ${\Omega}/cm^2$의 저항 값이 측정 되었고 다른 조건에서는 164 ${\Omega}/cm^2$에서 4.7 $k{\Omega}/cm^2$까지 저항변화를 가져 Ar:O2의 50:0.8의 조건이 최적화에 좋은 조건이라 판단하였다. 또한 50:0.8의 조건의 ITO의 경우 bending test시에서도 131 ${\Omega}/cm^2$에서 316 ${\Omega}/cm^2$ 정도의 안정적인 저항변화를 가지는 반면 다른 조건에서는 128 ${\Omega}/cm^2$에서 6.63 $k{\Omega}/cm^2$까지의 변화를 나타나 기계적 형상변화에도 분압비가 영향을 주는 것을 확인 할 수 가 있었다. bending 각도에 따른 저항의 변화를 측정하였을 시, 각도 변화에 따라 중심부의 저항 값이 $60^{\circ}$에서 가장 높은 변화가 나타나 전기저항이 높아진 원인을 찾기 위해 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)촬영을 한 결과 저항값이 높아짐에 따라 ITO의 압축응력이 작용하는 부근에 Crack이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 flexible ITO substrate의 Crack발생률을 최소화 시키고 bending시 전도성을 유지하기 위해서는 가스의 유량 최적화가 flexible substrate의 기계적형상변화에 대한 ITO의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있는 해답이 될 것으로 사료된다.

A new approach for measuring the specific fracture energy of concrete denoted modified disk-shaped compact tension (MDCT) test is presented. The procedure is based on previous ideas regarding the use of compact tension specimens for studying the fracture behavior of concrete but implies significant modifications of the specimen morphology in order to avoid premature failures (such as the breakage of concrete around the pulling load holes). The manufacturing and test performance is improved and simplified, enhancing the reliability of the material characterization. MDCT specimens are particularly suitable when fracture properties of already casted concrete structures are required. To evaluate the applicability of the MDCT test to estimate the size-independent specific fracture energy of concrete ($G_F$),the interaction between the fracture process zone of concrete andthe boundary of theMDCTspecimens at the end of the test is properly analyzed. Further, the experimental results of $G_F$ obtained by MDCT tests for normal- and high-strength self-compacting concrete mixes are compared with those obtained using the well-established three-point bending test. The procedure proposed furnishes promising results, and the $G_F$ values obtained are reliable enough for the specimen size range studied in this work.

This paper shows the behaviors of macro- and micro-structures and mechanical properties for specimen's welding region welded by FSW. according to welding conditions with 5mm thickness aluminum 5083O alloy plate. It apparently results in defect-free weld zone in case traverse speed was changed to 32 mm/min under conditions of anti-clockwise direction and tool rotation speed such as 800 and 1250 rpm with tool's pin diameter of 5 ${\Phi}mm$ and shoulder diameter of 20 ${\Phi}mm$, pin length of 4.5 mm and tilting angle of $2^{\circ}$. The ultimate stress of ${\sigma}_T=331$ MPa and the yield point of 147 MPa are obtained at the condition of the travel speed of 32 mm/min with the tool rotation speed of 1250 rpm. There is neither voids nor cracks on bended surface of $180^{\circ}$ after bending test. The improvement of toughness after impact test was found. The lower rotating and traverse speed became, the higher were yield point, maximum stress and elongation(%) with the stresses and the elongation(%) versus the traverse speed diagram. Vickers hardness for cross section of welding zone were also presented. The typical macro-structures such as dynamically recrystallized zone, thermo-mechanically affected zone and heat affected zone and the micro-structures of the transverse cross-section were also showed. However, the author found out that the region of 6mm far away from shoulder circumference was affected by friction heat comprehensively, that is, hardness softened and that part of micro-structures were re-solid-solution or recrystallized, the author also knew that there is no mechanically deformation on heat affected zone but there are the flow of plastic deformation of $45^{\circ}$ direction on thermo-mechanically affected zone and the segregation of Al-Mg on nugget. The solid solution wt(%) of parent material as compared against of friction stir welded zone was comprehensively changed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the cold reduction rate and an ultrasonic fatigue test (UFT) on the fatigue behaviors of STS 304L. The tensile strength, yield strength, hardness value and fatigue limit in the UFT fatigue test linearly increased as thickness decreased from 1.5 mm to 1.1 mm, as the cold reduction rate of STS 304L increased. As a result of the UFT fatigue test (R = -1) of four specimens, the fatigue limit of the S-N curve formed a knee point in the region of $10^6$, and the 2nd fatigue limit caused by giga cycle fatigue did not appeared. In the case of t = 1.1 mm, the highest fatigue limit was 345 MPa, which was 64.3% higher than the original material (t = 1.5 mm). As a result of the UFT fatigue test of STS 304L, many small surface cracks occurred, grown, coalesced while tearing.

Aircraft structures and engineering structures are always subject to variable amplitude loads. Variable amplitude loads include some kind of loading history; for example, constant amplitude load, single peak overload and block overload etc. Crack growth under variable amplitude loading exhibits retardation effect. In this study, the 4 point bending fatigue test was performed by hydrolic servo fatigue testing machine on 7075-T6 Al-alloy. The retardation effect of overload ratio and numbers of overload cycle was quantitatively studied. 1) Change of retardation effect against increment of overload ratio is more evident when the multiple overload is applied than single overload is done. 2) The number of overload cycle is very important factor about the crack growth retardation effect when the overload ratio is more than 1.75; that is not when the overload ratio is less than 1.75. 3) Overload affected zone size increased gradually by increment of crack growth retardation effect. 4) Crack driving force is more greatly reduced when the crack tip branched off two direction than it sloped to one direction.

A method to determine directly $J_{IC}$ from load-displacement curve without measuring crack growth amount is studied. A method to use key curve in determination of $J_{IC}$ is also considered. The values of $J_{IC}$ obtained from the above methods are compared with that obtained from the ASTM standard test method (E813). By performing experiments using both compact-tension specimen and three-point-bending specimen of a structural alloy steel SCM4, it is shown that the methods proposed here may be used in determination of $J_{IC}$.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) as advanced heterogeneous composite materials have a higher performance than a conventional composite or bimaterial composite under some severe environments. As a heterogeneous material, FGM is commonly used in spacecraft, defense, nuclear and automotive industries due to its excellent properties. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the stress distribution and crack behaviors by the multiscale simulation. FGM contains two or more than two materials that the composition is structured continuously. Two types of FGM model are suggested, which are created by arbitrary prediction of the volume fraction and the exponential function. Aluminum as the metal matrix constituent and silicon carbide as the ceramic particle constituent are structured gradually by two types and the three point bending test also estimated. Moreover, two kinds of crack location were introduced in order to get the influences of material property distribution on the stress intensity factor. From the results we found that the stress intensity factors are increased in the case from softer to stiffer material, while vice versa.

Cold-formed steel profile sheets acting as decks have been popularly used in composite slab systems in steel structural works, since it acts as a working platform as well as formwork for concreting during construction stage and also as tension reinforcement for the concrete slab during service. In developing countries like India, this system of flooring is being increasingly used due to the innate advantage of these systems. Three modes of failure have been identified in composite slab such as flexural, vertical shear and longitudinal shear failure. Longitudinal shear failure is the one which is difficult to predict theoretically and therefore experimental methods suggested by Eurocode 4 (EC 4) of four point bending test is in practice throughout world. This paper presents such an experimental investigation on embossed profile sheet acting as a composite deck where in the longitudinal shear bond characteristics values are evaluated. Two stages, brittle and ductile phases were observed during the tests. The cyclic load appears to less effect on the ultimate shear strength of the composite slab.

Historical masonry mosques are the most important structures of Islamic societies. To estimate the static and dynamic behavior of these historical structures, an examination of their restoration studies is very important. In this study, Kara Mustafa Pasha Mosque, which was built as a domed mosque by Kara Mustafa Pasha between 1666-1667 in Amasya, Turkey, has been analyzed. This study investigates the structural behavior and architectural features of the mosque. In order to determine specific mechanical properties, compression and three-point bending tests were conducted on materials, which have similar age and show similar properties as the examined mosque. Additionally, a three-dimensional finite element model of the mosque was developed and the structural responses were investigated through static and dynamic analyses. The results of the analyses were focused on the stresses and displacements. The experimental test results indicate that the construction materials have greatly retained their mechanical properties over the centuries. The obtained maximum compression and tensile stresses from the analyses have been determined as smaller than the materials' strengths. However, the stresses calculated from dynamic analysis might cause structural problems in terms of tensile stresses.
