Tensile properties and fracture toughness of monolithic aluminum, fiber reinforced plastics and glass fiber/aluminum hybrid laminates under tensile loads have been investigated using plain coupon and single-edge-notched specimens. Elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength of GFMLs showed different characteristic behaviors according to the Al kind, fiber orientation and composition ratio. Fracture, toughness of A-GFML-UD which was determined by the evaluation of $K_{IC}$ and $G_{IC}$ based on critical load was similar to that of GFRP-UD and was much higher than monolithic Al. Therefore, A-GFML-UD presented superior fracture toughness as well as prominent damage tolerance in comparison to its constituent Al. By separating Al sheet from GFMLs after the test, optical microscope observation of fracture zone of GFRP layer in the vicinity of crack tip revealed that crack advance of GFMLs depended on the orientation of fiber layer as well as Al/fiber composition ratio.

섬유강화 고분자기지 복합재에 있어 탄성계수, 최대응력, 최대변형률, 파괴특성 등이 압력에 의해 영향을 받는다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 준등방성이며 두꺼운 두께를 갖는 [0$^{\circ}$/$\pm$45$^{\circ}$/90$^{\circ}$]$_{11s}$ 로 적층된 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재에 있어 압력을 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, 300 MPa로 변화시켜 압축 파괴실험을 수행하였으며 이로부터 압력변화에 따른 파괴특성 변화에 대해 검토하였다. 결과로서 가해진 압력이 증가함에 따라 압축파괴인성은 증가함을 알수 있었다. 구체적으로 압력이 대기압에서 300 MPa으로 증가할 때 압축파괴인성 값은 약 44% 증가하였다.

Silicon nitride is the most excellent materials among structural ceramics. It has been reported that fracture toughness was improved with adding second phase particles, whisker, fiber etc. However, containing of second phase particles enhanced fracture toughness, however flexural strength was degraded. As adding nanosize SiC particles into silicon nitride, the physical properties of fluxural strength, fracture toughness, the modulus of elasticity. In this study, 2wt% $Al_2$O$_3$ and 4 wt% $Y_2$O$_3$ were added into UBE E-10 and 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 vol% nano-SiC powder (Sumitomo T1 powder) were added, respectively. It is hot pressed at 185$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Most of structural ceramics for engineering application are wear resistance. In this study, wear behaviors (in water) of silicon nitride with varying the amount of nano-size silicon carbide were investigated, and was compared to physical properties. Simultaneously wear mechanism will be found out.

The effects of $Cr_2O_3$ on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of $Al_2O_3$ polycrystalline were investigated. The microstructure of $Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ composites (ruby) was carefully controlled in order to obtain dense and fine-grained ceramics, thereby improving their properties and reliability with respect to numerous applications related to semiconductor bonding technology. Ruby composites were produced by Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) technology. Room temperature strength, hardness, Young's modulus and toughness were determined, as well as surface strengthening induced by thermal treatment and production of a fine-grained homogenous microstructure.

The fracture toughness of ceramics can be measure by such various methods as DT (double torsion), CN (chevron notch) etc. But, the application of these methods to the engineering ceramics is very difficult because of its very high hardness. So, IF (indentation fracture) method is generally used for the evaluation of fracture toughness of ceramics. The Median crack induced by the sharp Vickers indenter was compared with the detected AE (acoustic emission) signal. On the silicon nitride ceramics, the AE test results agree fairly well with the median crack occurance and growth process. But, on the alumina, very many complicated crack signals were detected besides median crack. It can be considered that the IF methods must be used in limited engineering ceramics materials.

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of a special plaster on the out-of-plane behavior of masonry walls. A reference specimen, plastered with conventional plaster, and a specimen plastered with a special plastered were tested under reversed cyclic lateral loading. The specimens were identical in dimensions and material properties. The special plaster contained an additive, which increased the adherence strength of the plaster to the wall. The amount of the additive in the mortar was adjusted based on the preliminary material tests. The influence of the plaster on the wall behavior was evaluated according to the initial cracking load, type of failure, energy absorption capacity (modulus of toughness), and crack pattern of the wall. Despite having limited contribution to the ductility, the special plaster increased the ultimate load capacity of the wall about 25%. The failure mode of the wall with special plaster resembled the plastic failure mechanism of a reinforced concrete slab in the formation of yielding lines along the wall. The deflection at failure and the modulus of toughness of the wall with special plaster were measured to be in order of 60% and 75% of the corresponding values of the reference wall.

When crack are detected in aged turbine rotors of power plants, information on fracture resistance of the aged material at operating temperature is needed for determination of critical loading condition and residual life of the turbine. In this study, fracture toughness (J$_lc$) and tearing modulus(T$_mat$) of virgin and thermally degraded 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel, which is one of the most widely used rotor steels, were measured at 538.deg. C according to ASTM E813 and ASTM E1152, respectively. Five kinds of specimen with different degradation levels were prepared by isothermal aging heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C.$ It was observed that J$_lc$ and T$_mat$ value decreased as the degradation level increased. Analysis of microstructures using a scanning electron microscope showed that the decrement of J$_lc$ is related to segregation of impurities at grain boundaries. It was also verified that the DC electric potential drop method is accurate and reliable for crack length monitoring at elevated temperature.

Steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) is a relatively new composite material which congregates the benefits of self-compacting concrete (SCC) technology with the profits derived from the fiber addition to a brittle cementitious matrix. Steel fibers improve many of the properties of SCC elements including tensile strength, toughness, energy absorption capacity and fracture toughness. Modification in the mix design of SCC may have a significant influence on the SFRSCC mechanical properties. Therefore, it is vital to investigate whether all of the assumed hypotheses for steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) are also valid for SFRSCC structures. Although available research regarding the influence of steel fibers on the properties of SFRSCC is limited, this paper investigates material's mechanical properties. The present study includes: a) evaluation and comparison of the current analytical models used for estimating the mechanical properties of SFRSCC and SFRC, b) proposing new relationships for SFRSCC mixtures mechanical properties. The investigated mechanical properties are based on the available experimental results and include: compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, strain at peak compressive strength, tensile strength, and compressive and tensile stress-strain curves.

In this study, the fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ of high performance concrete (HPC) was determined by conducting three-point bending tests on eighty notched HPC beams of $500mm{\times}100mm{\times}100mm$ at high temperatures up to $450^{\circ}C$ (hot) and in cooled-down states (cold). When the concrete beams exposed to high temperatures for 16 hours, both thermal and hygric equilibriums were generally achieved. $K_{IC}$ for the hot concrete sustained a monotonic decrease tendency with the increasing temperature, with a sudden drop at $105^{\circ}C$. For the cold concrete, $K_{IC}$ sustained a two-stage decrease trend, dropping slowly with the heating temperature up to $150^{\circ}C$ and rapidly thereafter. The fracture energy-based fracture toughness $K_{IC}$' was found to follow similar decrease trends with the heating temperature. The weight loss, the fracture energy and the modulus of rapture were also evaluated.
