In the Part 1 paper (Gawin, et al. 2005) some experimental results concerning micro-structural tests, permeability measurements and stress-strain tests of four types of High Performance Concrete, exposed to elevated temperatures (up to $700^{\circ}C$) are presented and discussed. On the basis of these experimental results parameters of the constitutive relationships describing influence of damage and temperature upon material intrinsic permeability at high temperature were determined. In this paper the effects of various formulations of damage-permeability coupling on results of computer simulations are analysed and compared with the results obtained by means of the previously proposed approach, that does not take into account the thermo-chemical concrete damage directly. Numerical solutions are obtained using the recently developed fully coupled model of hygro-thermal and damage phenomena in concrete at elevated temperatures. High temperature effects are considered by means of temperature and pressure dependence of several material parameters. Based on the mathematical model, the computer code HITECOSP was developed. Material parameters of the model were measured by several European laboratories, which participated in the "HITECO" research project. A model problem, concerning hygro-thermal behaviour and degradation of a HPC structure during fire, is solved. The influence of two different constitutive descriptions of the concrete permeability changes at high temperature, including thermo-chemical and mechanical damage effects, upon the results of computer simulations is analysed and discussed.

Purpose: The current study analyzed trends in thermal insulation performance with aging, and condensation characteristics caused by the former. Method: Thermal insulation and condensation prevention performance of an architecture were assessed using Temperature Difference Ration Inside, or TDRi. Subjects of this quantitative analysis in thermal insulation performance change due to aging included recently constructed apartments and aged apartments older than 40 years. Time series comparison and analysis were conducted to observed changes in the thermal insulation performance and condensation characteristics. Result: Analysis showed that wall insulation performance degraded with aging regardless of fortified insulating material usage or insulating material type, which caused increased danger of condensation. In addition, when fortified insulating material was installed on the connection between the walls, insulation performance degradation was lower compared to cases in which fortified materials were not used. In all cases from 1 to 10, the rate of thermal insulation performance degradation increased after 20 years of aging.

Recently, the robot actuator worked by the driving recovery-force of the thermo elastic martensitic transformation of shape memory alloys(SMA) has been studied. In general, such a SMA actuator necessitates a number of cyclic repeated motion, so that the investigation of gradual decrease of recovery force with repeated motion cycle as well as the prevention of such a degradation of shape memory effect(SME) are very important for the actual use of a robot actuator. However, such research and discussions about the degradation of SME are very few up to the present. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of the cyclic deformation and degradation of SME of Ti-Ni alloy would be investigated and discussed in detail by current heat type fatigue tester, which is a newly designed fatigue tester by author. In addition, we will establish a new design concept for robot actuator from these result.

Several kinds of biodegradable hydrogels were prepared via in situ photopolymerization of Pluronic F127/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) macromer and acrylic acid (AA) comonomer in aqueous medium. The swelling kinetics measurements showed that the resultant hydrogels exhibited both thermo- and pH-sensitive behaviors, and that this stimuli-responsiveness underwent a fast reversible process. With increasing pH of the local buffer solutions, the pH sensitivity of the hydrogels was increased, while the temperature sensitivity was decreased. In vitro hydrolytic degradation in the buffer solution (pH 7.4, $37^{\circ}C$), the degradation rate of the hydrogels was greatly improved due to the introduction of the AA comonomer. The in vitro release profiles of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in-situ embedded into the hydrogels were also investigated: the release mechanism of BSA based on the Peppas equation was followed Case II diffusion. Such biodegradable dual-sensitive hydrogel materials may have more advantages as a potentially interesting platform for smart drug delivery carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds.

신뢰성 평가 시험법인 RS M 0042에 따라, 열화시간 경과에 따른 선형저밀도 폴리에틸렌 파이프의 신뢰성 평가를 수행하였다. 열화시간이 증가함에 따라, 인장강도는 250일 열화시점까지 비례적으로 증가하였고, 경도는 비교적 미소한 증가를 보였으며, 연신율은 점진적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 열화시간이 증가함에 따른, 결정화도의 증가와 열산화에 의한 가교밀도의 증가, 사슬 전단 및 사슬 운동성의 감소 등에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 장기정수압시험 결과는 초기의 연성파괴에서 차후 취성파괴로 전환되는 시점이 존재함을 확인하였다. 산화유도시간 측정은 선형저밀도폴리에틸렌 파이프의 열산화 정도를 관찰하기 위해 도입되었다. 측정 결과는 250일 이후 선형저밀도폴리에틸렌 파이프에 첨가된 산화방지제가 거의 고갈되었음을 보여준다. $100^{\circ}C$ 열화 조건에서 산화방지제의 잔존량을 계산할 수 있는 실험식을 열화시간의 함수로 표현하여 제안하였다. 적외선분광분석 결과는 열화된 선형저밀도폴리에틸렌 파이프 표면상에 카르보닐 및 하드록실 관능기가 증가하였음을 보여준다. 이는 선형저밀도폴리에틸렌 표면의 탄화수소 그룹의 산화가 국부적으로 발생하였음을 나타낸다.

Safety diagnosis of various structural components and facilities is indispensable for preventing catastrophic failure of material by time-dependent and environment accelerating degradation. Also, this diagnosis of operating components should be done periodically for safe maintenance and economical repair. However, conventional standard methods for mechanical properties have the problems of bulky specimen, destructive procedure and complex procedure of specimen sampling. So, a non-destructive and simple mechanical testing method using small specimen is needed. Therefore, an advanced indentation technique was developed as a potential method for non-destructive testing of in-field structures. This technique measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation such as yield strength, tensile strength and work-hardening index. In this paper, we characterized the tensile properties including yield and tensile strengths of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels in petro-chemical and thermo-electrical plants. And also, the effects of hydrogen-assisted degradation of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels were analyzed in terms of work-hardening index and yield ratio.

가교 폴리에틸렌 파이프의 산화 열화가 진행되는 동안 인장 특성의 변화 및 화학적 구조의 변화를 조사하여 산화 열화가 파이프의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 가교 폴리에틸렌 파이프의 산화 열화를 유도하기 위하여 고온 열처리 및 UV 조사 방법을 이용하였으며 파이프 생산 시 다이 온도가 파이프의 산화 열화에 미치는 영향도 조사하였다. 산화 열화 과정 중 파이프의 인장 특성 변화는 만능재료시험기로, 화학적 구조의 변화는 적외선분광기로 각각 조사하였다. 열에 의한 산화 열화가 진행됨에 따라 파이프의 인장 강도는 서서히 감소하였으나 파단 신율은 급격히 감소하였고, 파이프 내부로 도입된 산소 분자로 인해 화학적 구조도 변화하였다. 이러한 결과는 가교 폴리에틸렌 파이프의 생산 및 저장 중 산화 열화에 따른 성능 저하를 평가하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

The present paper is a review of the main activities carried out within the context of the COMPTINN' program, a joint research project founded by a FUI program (Fonds $Unifi{\acute{e}}s$ $Interminist{\acute{e}}riels$) in which four research teams focused on the thermo-oxidation behaviour of HTS-TACTIX carbon-epoxy composite at 'high' temperatures ($120^{\circ}C-180^{\circ}C$). The scientific aim of the COMPTINN' program was to better identify, with a multi-scale approach, the link between the physico-chemical mechanisms involved in thermo-oxidation phenomena, and to provide theoretical and numerical tools for predicting the mechanical behaviour of aged composite materials including damage onset and development.
