Fracture toughness is an important parameter in designing offshore structures to ensure resistance to fracture at various temperatures. In this study, a series of experiments is carried out to obtain fracture toughness values (CTOD) of API 2W Gr.50B, welded using FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Weld). In particular, a comparison of absorbed impact energy and CTOD values are made with respect to two different welding groove shapes; double-V-groove and double-bevel-groove. Charpy impact tests are performed for specimens sampled near the root gap, and CTOD tests are carried out for three point bending specimens having the notch at weld zone. While Charpy impact test result is determined to be a good qualitative measure of fracture toughness, no quantitative correspondence between impact absorbed energy and CTOD values was found. Based on the experiment, it is observed that double-V-groove welds give lower transition temperature than those of double-bevel-groove.

Dental composite resin is a kind of the particle - reinforced composite material, and is widely used in recent dental restoration of anterior and posterior tooth region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture behaviour according to volume fractions and external findings of the filler particles for better interpretation of the fracture characteristics of posterior dental composite resins by analytic method of fracture mechanics. The plane strain fracture toughness($K_{IC}$) and Acoustic Emission were determined with three - point bending test using the single edge notch specimen according to the ASTM - E399, and its analyzed data was compared with filler volume fractions derived from the standard ashing test and scanning electron fractographs of each specimen including the unfilled experimental resin as a control. The results were that the value of fracture toughness of the composite resin material was in the range from 0.85 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ to 1.60 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ and was higher than the value of the unfilled experimental resin, and the fracture behaviours dervied from Acoustic Emission analysis show prominent differences according to the volume fraction and the size of filler particles used in each composite resin. The degree of resistance against crack propagation seems to be increase and the fractographs demonstrate the high degree of surface roughness and irregularity according with the increase of fracture toughness value.

In this study, alumina matrix composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated by ultrasonic dispersion, ball milling, mixing, compaction, and sintering processes, and their relative density, electrical resistance, hardness, flexure strength, and fracture toughness were evaluated. 0~3 vol.% of CNTs were relatively homogeneously dispersed in the composites in spite of the existence of some pores. The three-point bending test results indicated that the flexure strength increased with increasing volume fraction of CNTs, and reached the maximum when the CNT fraction was 1.5 vol.%. The fracture toughness increased as the CNT fraction increased, and the fracture toughness of the composite containing 3 vol.% of CNTs was higher by 40% than that of the monolithic alumina. According to observation of the crack propagation path after the indentation fracture test, a new toughening mechanism of grain interface bridging-induced CNT bridging was suggested to explain the improvement of fracture toughness in the alumina matrix composites reinforced with CNTs.

3 차원 패키징을 위해 열가압 공정으로 제조된 Cu-Cu 접합 계면의 접합 특성을 평가하기 위해 4 점 굽힘 실험을 수행하였다. Cu가 코팅된 Si 웨이퍼 2 장을 $350^{\circ}C$에서 1 시간 동안 15kN 의 하중으로 접합시킨 후, 동일한 온도에서 1 시간동안 어닐닝을 수행하였다. 접합된 웨이퍼를 $30\;mm\;{\times}\;3\;mm$ 크기로 잘라 시험편을 준비하였다. 시험편의 중심에 깊이 $400\;{\mu}m$의 노치를 가공하였다. 시험기에 광학계를 부착하여 노치에서의 크랙 발생과 계면에서의 크랙 진전을 관찰하였다. 일정한 테스트 속도로 실험을 수행하여, 이에 상응하는 하중을 측정하였다. Cu-Cu 접합 계면 에너지는 $10.36\;J/m^2$ 으로 측정되었으며, 파괴된 계면을 분석하였다. 표면 분석 결과, $SiO_2$와 Ti의 계면에서 파괴가 일어났음을 확인하였다.

SHCCs는 섬유와 시멘트 메트릭스 계면의 부착작용으로 인해 높은 에너지 흡수능력을 보여준다. 서로 다른 종류의 섬유로 보강된 SHCCs는 혼입되는 섬유자체가 가지는 재료적 특성 및 물시멘트비에 따라 서로 다른 특성을 나타내기 때문에 SHCCs의 압축, 휨, 직접인장 등의 역학적 특성에 관한 평가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 목적으로 본 연구에서는 PP2.0%, PVA2.0%, PE2.0%의 세종류의 단독섬유를 혼입하여 물시멘트비 0.45, 0.60으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, PP섬유를 혼입한 시험체에 비해 PVA 및 PE섬유를 혼입한 시험체에서 휨 및 직접인장특성에서 전반적으로 뛰어난 성능을 나타내었다. 또한 동일한 섬유 및 혼입율에서 물시멘트비 0.45인 시험체에서 물시멘트비 0.60인 시험체에 비해 약 2배정도의 높은 압축강도를 나타내었으며, 휨 및 직접인장거동시 시험체 전반에 걸쳐 미세균열이 진전되는 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 물시멘트비 0.60에서 SHCCs의 시공성능 및 분산성능 향상을 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

A new approach for measuring the specific fracture energy of concrete denoted modified disk-shaped compact tension (MDCT) test is presented. The procedure is based on previous ideas regarding the use of compact tension specimens for studying the fracture behavior of concrete but implies significant modifications of the specimen morphology in order to avoid premature failures (such as the breakage of concrete around the pulling load holes). The manufacturing and test performance is improved and simplified, enhancing the reliability of the material characterization. MDCT specimens are particularly suitable when fracture properties of already casted concrete structures are required. To evaluate the applicability of the MDCT test to estimate the size-independent specific fracture energy of concrete ($G_F$),the interaction between the fracture process zone of concrete andthe boundary of theMDCTspecimens at the end of the test is properly analyzed. Further, the experimental results of $G_F$ obtained by MDCT tests for normal- and high-strength self-compacting concrete mixes are compared with those obtained using the well-established three-point bending test. The procedure proposed furnishes promising results, and the $G_F$ values obtained are reliable enough for the specimen size range studied in this work.

각종 기공과 같은 결함을 허용하는 다이캐스팅 부품의 강도를 현장 수준에서 평가할 수 있는 이론적 방법을 제안한다. 결함을 갖는 부재의 탄성시험을 통해 강성도를 구하고 이를 결함이 없는 이론적 강성도와 비교함으로써 등가 기공률을 산출한다. 등가 기공률 식은 Eshelby의 함유이론으로부터 유도하였다. 산출된 등가 기공률은 Mori-Tanaka 법을 이용하여 기공결함을 포함하는 재료의 응력-변형률 선도를 그리기 위하여 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 Hollomon 변형경화 모델을 사용하였다. 이 응력-변형률 선도를 이용하면 균일분포의 기공결함을 갖는 다이캐스팅 부재의 강도를 평가할 수 있게 된다. 등가 기공률을 고려한 하나의 이론해로서 직사각형 단면의 다이캐스팅 보에 대한 삼점 굽힘의 탄소성 강도를 소성힌지의 방법으로 유도하였다.

Background: Sufficient surgical resection is necessary for effective tumor control, but is usually limited for vertebral tumors, especially in the cervical spine in small animal neurosurgery. Objective: To evaluate the primary stability and safety of customized three-dimensional (3D)-printed implants for cervical spine reconstruction after total vertebrectomy. Methods: Customized guides and implants were designed based on computed tomography (CT) imaging of five beagle cadavers and were 3D-printed. They were used to reconstruct C5 after total vertebrectomy. Postoperative CT images were obtained to evaluate the safety and accuracy of screw positioning. After harvesting 10 vertebral specimens (C3-C7) from intact (group A) and implanted spines (group B), implant stability was analyzed using a 4-point bending test comparing with groups A and C (reconstituted with plate and pins/polymethylmethacrylate after testing in Group A). Results: All customized implants were applied without gross neurovascular damage. In addition, 90% of the screws were in a safe area, with 7.5% in grade 1 (< 1.3 mm) and 2.5% in grade 2 (> 1.3 mm). The mean entry point and angular deviations were 0.81 ± 0.43 mm and 6.50 ± 5.11°, respectively. Groups B and C significantly decreased the range of motion (ROM) in C3-C7 compared with intact spines (p = 0.033, and 0.018). Both groups reduced overall ROM and neutral zone in C4-C6, but only group B showed significance (p = 0.005, and 0.027). Conclusion: Customized 3D-printed implants could safely and accurately replace a cervical vertebra in dog cadavers while providing primary stability.
