  • Fracture toughness JIC and KIC tests were performed on A516 Gr70 carbon steel plate at the temperature ranging from -$160^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$, and test results were analyzed according to ASTM E 813 and ASTM E 399. Unloading compliance J-integral tests were performed on 1TCT specimens. The relation between the $J_{IC}$ value and the test temperature was obtained. It was concluded that the temperature ranging from $-15^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ is the upper shelf region of ductile-brittle transition temperature, and in this temperature range, fracture toughness $J_{IC}$ values decreased with increasing temperature. The ductile brittle transition temperature of the material may be around $-30^{\circ}C$. In the region near $-30^{\circ}C$, the tendency of $J_{IC}$ to decrease with decreasing temperature was significant.

  • Metallurgical and mechanical experiments were performed to explain unexpected surface cracks encountered in fabricating ground rolled-billet of Fe-Cr-Al alloys at room temperature. The toughness of these alloys containing between 220 and 236 ppm (C+N) has been assessed using notched-bar impact tests. According to our results, with a larger grain size, a higher interstitial content of (C+N) or a smaller size of precipitates, ductile to brittle temperature(DBTT) increased and absorbed energy decreased at room temperature. These results suggest that the surface cracks at room temperature stem from a poor resistance to brittle fracture, due to dislocation movement by the finely dispersed carbides within grains under the condition of higher (C+N) content.

  • Thermal shock test methods and thermal shock parameters for ceramics were reviewed from the following viewpoints: (1) The test methods should be based on the precise estimation of both temperature and thermal stress distributions in a specimen taking into account the temperature-dependent thermo-mechanical properties; (2) The thermal shock parameters must be defined as a physical property of the materials and described as a function of temperature at the fracture point of the specimen; (3) The relation between the strength and fracture toughness of brittle ceramics under a thermal shock load must be the same as the relation under a mechanical load. In addition, appropriate thermal shock parameters should be defined by the thermal shock strength and thermal shock fracture toughness based on stress and energy criteria, respectively. A constant heat flux method is introduced as a testing technique suitable for estimating these thermal shock parameters directly from the electric power charged.

  • FRP-concrete composite slab is consisted of brittle materials and then shows brittle failure mechanism. This study suggests a new design approach that FRP-concrete composite slab leads to ductile failure, and investigates their failure behaviors for two types of section by numerical analysis. Box-type section is higher than I-type section in load capacity to required FRP quantity. Each section was designed so that the strain of FRP plate is 50% to its ultimate strain on initiation of concrete crushing, and it is verified that displacement ductility is more than two. Ductility capacity can be improved by reducing the strain of FRP on initiation of concrete crushing, but as the strain of FRP is reduced load capacity to required FRP quantity is also reduced. Therefore section optimization study is needed considering safety and economical efficiency.

  • Concrete are brittle materials and they are which come to brittle fracture rapidly by progress of cracks. Therefore, what the time for repairing the damage portion is understands importantly by such cracks. When they happened the glass pipe similar to concrete was used. Such a glass pipe can insert repair material in an inside, or can use it by switch. They are interested in the crack monitoring of structure using FM radio sensor and PZT sensor. In this study, the monitoring to a crack was studied using FM radio sensor and PZT sensor. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the fundamental research which detects damages of main members using the compound sensor which consisted of the radio sensors of resistance, PZT, and FM system.
