In this study, failure analysis of the angular pin for molding machines to aluminum component molding was carried out. SM45C steel was used for the angular pin, it was surface hardened by the induction surface hardening heat treatment. The cross section of damaged angular pin was observed, and micro Vickers hardness value from the fractured part was measured. Brittle fracture was occurred from the fracture surface of angular pin, therefore, impact toughness value was evaluated by V-notch Charpy impact test. It was confirmed that the impact absorption energy was high when was tempered at a high temperature for a long time, and the toughness was slightly increased. Also, 2-parameter Weibull statistical analysis was investigated in order to evaluate the reliability of the measured micro Vickers hardness values and absorbed energy. The micro Vickers hardness and absorbed energy well followed a two-parameter Weibull probability distribution, respectively. The reverse design against angular pin was proposed as possible by using test results.

At this research, we examined probability of light bulb's life span value and prediction on purpose to inquire out the span of repeat velocity as fracture probability by executing the fatigue test, which is considered property of Tungsten filament's thermal fatigue used as an automobile bulb. As a result we can confirm what the most suitable solution is weibull distribution and log normal distribution. Tungsten filament's span gets longer as the fatigue repeat velocity gets shorter And, repeat span is about 15%~40% shorter than sequence life span.

Spot welding is very important and useful technology in fabrication of an automobile body structure. Because fatigue strength of the spot welding point is however considerably lower than parent metal due to stress concentration at the nugget edge, accurate stress analysis and fatigue stength evaluation of spot welded lap joint are very important to valuate the reliability and durability of automobile body structure and to establish a criterion of long life fatigue design. Many invetigators have studied so far onsystematic fatigue strength evaluation with various methods. It is however necessary to verify their reliability and abailability for practical application to fatigue design of spot welded structure, Thus,in this study, fatigue strength evaluation methods of spot welded lap joint. which are the maximum principal stress method. the fracture and availability with the Weibull probability distribution. From the results, it was found that reliability and availability withe the Weibull probaility distribution. From the results, it was found that reliability and availability of the suggest fatigue strength estimation methods methods were higher than $\Delta$P-$N_f$ relation. However, among them , reliability of the maximum pricipal stress method was the highest.

In this study, flexural strength and fracture behavior of silicon die from single crystalline silicon wafer were investigated as a function of thickness. Silicon wafers with various thickness of 300, 200, 180, 160, 150, and 100 ${\mu}m$ were prepared by mechanical grinding and polishing of as-saw wafers. Flexural strength of 40 silicon dies (size: 62.5 mm${\times}$4 mm) from each wafer was measured by four point bending test, respectively. For statistical analysis of flexural strength, shape factor(i.e., Weibull modulus) and scale factor were determined from Weibull plot. Flexural strength reflecting both statistical fracture probability and size (thickness) effect of brittle silicon die was obtained as a linear function of die thickness. Fracture appearance was discussed in relation with measured fracture strength.

This paper deals with the micro-surface-cracks behavior on the unnotched smooth specimens of Type 304 stainless steel at $593^{\circ}C$ in air under creep and creep-fatigue conditions that have 10 mim and 1 min load holding times respectively. The behaviors of the micro-surface-cracks have been visualized by means of surface replica method and optical micro-photography. The quantitative characteristics of initiation, growth and coalescence of micro-surface-cracks have been investigated by observing and measuring the crack growth behaviors. some of the important results are as follows: Main crack initiates at grain boundary in the early stage(10 to 20%)of its life time and grows through coalescence and finally leads to fracture. The distribution of micro-surface-crack length, 2a, can be plotted against the composite Weibull distribution. The growth rate of the main crack can be plotted against the stress intensity factor, crack tip opering displacement and J integral.

The creep crack growth rate (da/dt) of the Cr-Mo steels tested by pre-crack and the voltage (or resistance) variables were related into fracture parameter (Ct), crack growth coefficient (H), and an exponent (q) in the parts of Base, weld and HAZ. The fracture parameter (Ct) has various variables relating to the specimen and crack shape, applied stress, and creep strain curve. The H and q was inferred by OLS regression (ordinary least square method), and the H values were solved in statistics and probability assessment, which were attained fromPDF's distributions (probability density function). The HAZ part has the highest value of q by OLS regression and the widest distribution of H by PDF of WEIBULL, which means that the crack sensitivity of HAZ should be cautioned against the creep crack growth and failure.

The flexural strength distribution of alumina ceramics was observed using ball-on-3 ball test after thermal shock into the distilled water of 25$^{\circ}C$ Crack distribution was also observed by dye-penetration after thermal shock test. Fracture probability of alumina ceramics by ball-on-3 ball test was studied and compared with that by 3-point bending test. The crack distance from the center of thespecimen showed the stronger effect on the flexural strength by ball-on-3 ball test than the crack density.

Statement of problem: The use of Ceromer is increasing in dentistry. But, the research of Ceromer has not been conducted much. Purpose : This study was to evaluate the marginal fidelity and internal adaptation according to marginal position. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 resin crowns were fabricated. The measurements of the marginal fidelity were carried out using stereomicroscope $SZ-40^{(R)}$ (Olympus, Japan) and the measurements of fracture strength were done using Instron $8871^{(R)}$ (Instron Co., U.S.A.) at a cross head speed of 1mm/min. All of the measurements were statistically analyzed by ANOVA test, multiple range test and Weibull analysis. Statistical significance was set in advance at the probability level of less than 0.05. All of the measurements were analyzed with Window $SPSS^{(R)}$ Version 10.0 soft ware for the personal computer. Results : 1. There were no statistical differences of the marginal fidelity between $Targis^{(R)}$ and $Tescera^{(R)}$, but difference between these two and $BelleGlass^{(R)}$ according to materials. 2. There were no statistical differences of the marginal fidelity between no fiber group and fiber group. There were no interactions between each maerial and with/without fiber group in the marginal fidelity 3. There were statistical differences of the fracture strength between $Tescera^{(R)}$ and $BelleGlass^{(R)}$ but no statistical differences of the fracture strength between $Targis^{(R)}$ and $Tescera^{(R)}$, $Targis^{(R)}$ and $BelleGlass^{(R)}$ according to materials. 4 There were statistical differences of the fracture strength between no fiber group and fiber group. There were no interactions between each material and with/without fiber group in the fracture strength. 5. When comparing the fracture surface, no fiber group showed the resin which were fractured at the labial surface and separated from the adhesion surface. In fiber group, the fractures took a place in resin compartments. Conclusion. The marginal fidelity and the fracture strength were clinically acceptable. From these results, $Targis^{(R)}$ and $Tescera^{(R)}$ were superior than $BelleGlass^{(R)}$ in the marginal fidelity But, when applying these resin crowns in clinic, more careful consideration is needed and further study is recommended.
