Much of requirements to the civil and building structures have been changed in accordance with the social and economic progress. Ductility of high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites(HPFRCCs), which exhibit strain hardening and multiple crackling characteristics under the uniaxial tensile stress is drastically improved. In HPFRCC application, PVA fiber has been dominantly used as a reinforcement because of its excellent alkali resistant nature as well as high strength. But the inherent strong hydrophilicity of PVA fiber promotes the moisture absorption in cement matrix and thus it may cause the corrosion of steel structure. Therefore, it is necessary to control the interfacial adhesion of cement composites. In present study, to control the interfacial adhesion of the cementitious composites reinforced by PVA fiber, UV irradiation of the PVA fiber were performed and their effects on the adhesion property and general characteristics were investigated extensively.

A plastically deformed layer in the precision machined surface affects in various forms the physical properties of machined components such as the fatigue strength, the dimensional instability, microcracks and the stress corrosion cracking. These physical properties, so called surface integrity, are very important for designing highly stressed and critically loaded components. Typical plastic strains in the precision machined surface are very difficult to measure, since they are located within a very short distance from the surface and they change very rapidly. A new way is suggested to determine the residual strain in plastically deformed materials by analyzing the plastically deformed layer after a subsequent recrystallization process. This investigation is to explore a new technique for measuring plastic strain in machining applications, and in particular, to and the effect of cutting parameters(rake angle, depth of cut, specific cutting energy), on the plastic strains and strain energy.

Retaining rings are used to support the field winding end turns from the centrifugal force by the high speed of the field and these are the overstressed parts among the generator parts. There have been several retaining failures in Europe and America, all attributable to stress corrosion cracking in 18Mn-5Cr steel. Since then, each manufacture companies have developed a good 18Mn-5Cr steel in temperature, strength characteristic and it is used in many field now. From many findings and test results, we could conformed that the failure might be grown in the overstressed condition unrelated to the moisture particle.

The use of multi scale modeling concepts and simulation techniques to study the destabilization of an ultrathin layer of oxide interface between a metal substrate and the surrounding environment is considered. Of particular interest are chemo-mechanical behavior of this interface in the context of a molecular-level description of stress corrosion cracking. Motivated by our previous molecular dynamics simulations of unit processes in materials strength and toughness, we examine the challenges of dealing with chemical reactivity on an equal footing with mechanical deformation, (a) understanding electron transfer processes using first-principles methods, (b) modeling cation transport and associated charged defect migration kinetics, and (c) simulation of pit nucleation and intergranular deformation to initiate the breakdown of the oxide interlayer. These problems illustrate a level of multi-scale complexity that would be practically impossible to attack by other means; they also point to a perspective framework that could guide future research in the broad computational science community.

Fatigue, the birth and growth of cracks in metal parts subjected to repeated loading, has been a problem plaguing engineers since the Industrial Revolution and the advent of rotating or reciprocating machinery. Designing against metal fatigue was studied briefly in several aspects. Examples of fatigue failures were shown. Fatigue was classified by loading: uniaxial Fatigue, multiaxial fatigue, cumulative fatigue da¬mage. Fatigue design criteria were discussed: Infinite-Life Design, Safe-Life Design, Fail-Safe Design, and Damage Tolerant Design. Mitigation of notch effects by design, improvement of fatigue strength of metal parts by residual stress and surface finishing were discussed. Relative fatigue beha¬vior was studied under various environmantal conditions. Especially the effects of corrosion, temperature, fretting, and irradiation were covered.

The paper presents an overview of the present state of study on the fatigue behaviors at very high number of cycles ($N_f$ > $10^7$). A classification of materials with typical S-N curves and influencing factors such as notches, residual stresses, temperatures, corrosion environments and stress ratios are given. The microstructural inhomogeneities of materials and micro-cracks played an important roles in very high cycle fatigue behaviors. The failure mechanisms for the fatigue design of materials and components are mentioned.

Service life of steel bridges depends on fatigue and corrosion. Fatigue damage result from stress concentration and initial defects in the joint of secondary member such as weldments. The objective of this study is to estimate fatigue strength of the cover plate weldments in the plate girder. For this study, fatigue tests, static tests and finete element method has been performed respectively from these results. It was found that our test results were well agreed with other test results and satisfied with the fatigue criterion of AASHTO, JSSC and EUROCODE specifications.

Steady shear response of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) system containing porous mono-disperse magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) spheres synthesized by solvothermal method is demonstrated. In applied magnetic field the interaction between the spherical particles leads to form strong columnar structures enhancing the yield strength and viscosity of the MRFs. The yield strengths of the MRFs also scale up with the concentration of magnetic particles in the fluid. Considering magnetic dipolar interaction between the particles the magneto-mechanical response of the MRFs is explained. Unlike metallic iron particles, the low-density corrosion resistant soft-ferrimagnetic $Fe_3O_4$ spherical particles make our studied MRF system efficient and reliable for shock-mitigation/vibration-isolation applications.

The fiber reinforced composite material is widely used in the multi-industrial field where the weight reduction of the infrastructure is demanded because of their high specific modulus and specific strength. Pressure vessels using this composite material have two main merits which are to cut down energy by reducing weight and to have long-term life due to corrosion resistance. In this paper, we developed optimal design module of laminate for CNG composite pressure vessel winding E-glass/epoxy based on Von-Mises yield criterion, Tsai-Hill theory and stress ratio using finite element method and ANSYS RSM(Response Surface Method).

Carbon fiber sheet has been used to rehabilitate many types of reinforced concrete members with its superior characteristics such as their lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy execution. But the failure behavior of reinforced concrete members show a high variation by the bond characteristics between carbon fiber sheet and concrete surface. In this study, a bond stress-slip model, which accounts for changes in bonding behavior between concrete and carbon fiber sheet with some link elements, is proposed. The link elements are used to represent the concrete-carbon fiber sheet interface. To investigate the efficiency of this method, the analytical solutions for the behavior of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with carbon fiber sheet are compared with experimental ones. Results from the proposed model comparatively well agree with the experimental results.
