A newly-built inverter has to undergo a series of stress tests in the final stage of production line. This can be achieved by connecting it to a dynamometer consisting of a three-phase machine joined by a rigid shaft to a DC load machine. The latter is controlled to create some specific load characteristic needed for the test. In this paper a test method is proposed, in which no mechanical equipment is needed. The suggested test stand consists only of a inverter to be tested and a simulator converter. Both devices are connected back-to-back on the AC-side via smoothing reactors. The simulator operates in real-time as an equivalent load circuit, so that the device under test will only notice the behaviour of a three-phase machine under consideration of the load. In oder to prove rightness of the suggested test method, the simulation and actural experiment carried out emulation for a 2.2kW induction motor.

In this paper, accelerated stress test(AST) for Magnetic Switch (MS) are applied to assure specified reliability of the products. Magnetic contactor that functions with over-current relay is called MS. Magnetic contactor closes and opens the motor load with ON/OFF switch of electronic contactor. It is also used for protecting and controlling the load. Magnetic contactor detects the over-current flow in the load with a over-current relay and disconnects the load by opening its control power. In this study, AST for product assembly are developed in order to improve the weak point so that increase the product reliability. Also we will show the basic information for the accelerated life test(ALT). The proposed AST results and procedures may be extended and applied to testing similar kinds of products to reduce test times and costs of the tests remarkably. Finally the results of this study will contribute to improving reliability of products and strengthening competitiveness of our products in the world markets.

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.

Micro-tensile testing system, consisting of a micro tensile loading system and micro-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) system, has been developed for measurement of micro-tensile properties of thin micro-materials. Micro-tensile loading system had a load cell with the maximum capacity of 50N and micro actuator with resolution of 4.5nm in stroke. The system was used to apply a tensile load to the micro-sized specimen. During tensile loading, the micro-ESPI system acquired interferornetric speckle patterns in the deformed specimen and measured the in-plane tensile strain. The ESPI system consisted of a CCD-camera with a lens and the window-based program developed for this experiment. Using this system, stress-strain curves for 4 kinds of electrolytic copper foil 18$\square$m thick were obtained. From these curves, tensile properties, including the elastic modulus. yielding strength and tensile strength, were determined and also values of the plastic exponent and coefficient based on Ramberg-Osgood relationship were evaluated.

Direct shear tests were carried out on the rock joints and artificial discontinuities to investigate the influence of joint roughness on the shear strength and deformation behaviour. Single direct shear testing apparatus used in experiment was designed and manufactured. Its capacity is 200 tons of shear load, 20 tons of normal load and 50$\textrm{cm}^2$ of maximum shear area. Test samples were cement mortar with artificial discontinuity and sandstone with natural joint. Peak shear strength was increased as joint roughness or normal stress was increased, especially, linearly increased with roughness angle in cement mortar. If joint roughness angle was constant at low normal stress, shear strength was not affected by width and height of joint roughness in cement mortar. Peak shear strengths obtained from tests were larger than the values calculated by Barton's equation, and shear stiffness was increased with joint roughness coefficient.

가동 중인 설비 및 대형 구조물은 장시간 사용, 고온 환경 및 반복되는 하중 등의 영향으로 설비재료의 교체 및 유지 보수가 요구된다. 이때 설비의 기계적 특성을 평가하는 것은 필수 불가결한 요소 이지만 대부분의 물성평가방법이 파괴적이기 때문에 가동 중인 설비에 직접 적용하는 것은 상당한 어려움이 따른다. 그러나 계장화 압입시험법은 다양한 기계적인 특성을 비파괴적으로 측정하는 최신기술로서 재료에 하중 인가 및 제거 과정 중 하중과 변위를 연속적으로 측정하여 획득된 압입하중-변위곡선의 분석을 통해 유동물성, 잔류응력, 파괴인성 등의 기계적 특성을 평가 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 계장화 압입시험을 이용하여 철강재료 및 용접부 유동물성과 잔류응력을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 계장화 압입시험 시 발생하는 압입자 하부의 응력 상태를 고려하여 유동응력과 변형률을 정의하고, 이를 최적화된 응력-변형률 구성방정식을 통해 유동곡선 및 항복강도, 인장강도 등의 유동물성을 평가 하였다. 계장화 압입시험을 이용하여 잔류응력을 측정하기 위해 소성변형과 직접 관련된 편차 응력 성분만으로 압입변형과 잔류응력 간의 상호작용을 분석하여 잔류응력 모델을 정의하였다. 측정된 유동물성은 일축인장시험의 결과를 통해 그 정확성을 검증하였고, 잔류응력은 홀-드릴링, 절단법 및 ED-XRD 시험과 비교하여 그 모델을 검증하였다.

This paper is concerned with the development of a measurement system using field measuring device which will give the membrane stress of the membrane structures. Up to this point, several techniques on measurement of membrane stresses has been proposed and some have been used in the fields, but accuracy of the measured stresses to be far from reliable one. Such situation has not been changed until recent days, we do not have the measurement device on which we can depend. On top of that, due to the different properties in cross directions for material of the membrane, the stress in the warp direction is different from that in the fill one. A new method is proposed to measured membrane stresses in two different direction separately, where instead of membrane stresses directly, an external force perpendicular to the membrane to be applied. A portable device can measure the applied force and the displacement. A special testing bed to be fabricated to accommodate $50cm{\times}50$ manbrane specimen which can apply 5 ton load in two orthogonal direction. A special device using push-pull gage was developed. To measure the membrane stresses in warp and fill direction separately, a different length of the tips are used. The measuring device which can called tension meter, can be calibrated on the testing bed, and optimized the length and shape of tip.

Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) was first observed in pressure tubes in Canadian CANDU reactors. In light water reactors, DHC was not observed until the late 1990s in high-burnup boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel cladding. In recent years, the focus on DHC has resurfaced in light of the increased interest in the cladding integrity during interim conditions. In principle, all spent fuel in the wet pools has sufficient hydrogen content for DHC to operate below $300^{\circ}C$. It is therefore of importance to establish the critical parameters for DHC to operate. This work studies the threshold stress intensity factor ($K_{IH}$) to initiate DHC as a function of temperature in Zry-4 for temperatures between $227^{\circ}C$ and $315^{\circ}C$. The experimental technique used in this study was the pin-loading testing technique. To determine the $K_{IH}$, an unloading method was used where the load was successively reduced in a stepwise manner until no cracking was observed during 24 hours. The results showed that there was moderate temperature behavior at lower temperatures. Around $300^{\circ}C$, there was a sharp increase in $K_{IH}$ indicating the upper temperature limit for DHC. The value for $K_{IH}$ at $227^{\circ}C$ was determined to be $2.6{\pm}0.3MPa$ ${\surd}$m.

Disc specimen with the center crack and edge crack simulated by two-dimensional static method is used to analyze the stress field around the crack tip in terms of the stress intensity factor, K. A simple and convenient method of testing to realize the mifed mode stress intensity factor of the cracked body is used, The conclusions obtatined in this photoelastlc analysis are as follows ; 1. According to this experiment, cracked disc specimen can be used to demonstrate the mixed mode stress intensity factor analysis by simply changing the crack angle from the loading line. 2. Despite the simplicity and continuous data reading, the photoelastic method shows the slightly lower strain reading comparing to the FEM analysis method. 3. In this photoelastic analysis, $K_{I}$ of center cracked disc specimen under a pair of compressive load shows negative value as the crack angle increases over 30$^{\circ}$.
