Abstract Spinel powder having a particle size of 0.9$\mu$m was calcined for 30 min at $1300^{\circ}C$, followed by ball milling for 4h, to obtain the spinel particle size of 3.29$\mu$m. The die-pressed spinel was presintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2h and then lanthanum aluminosilicate glass was infiltrated at $1080^{\circ}C$ for 0~2 h to investigate the penetration kinetics in glass-spinel composite. The infiltration distance is parabolic in time due to capillarity. The strength and the fracture toughness of glassspinel composites were 317 MPa and 3.56 MPa $m^{1/2}$ respectively and dual microstructure of column (needle) and polygonal shapes as a result of recrystallization was observed due to the high calcination temperature.

Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics are widely used in the application of high-temperature structural devices due to their light weight as well as superior hardness, fracture toughness, and temperature stability. In this paper, we employed classical molecular dynamics simulations using Tersoff's potential to investigate the elastic constants of the SiC crystal at high temperature. The stress-strain characteristics of the SiC crystal were calculated with the LAMMPS software and the elastic constants of the SiC crystal were analyzed. Based on the stress-strain analysis, the SiC crystal has shown the elastic deformation characteristics at the low temperature region. But the slight plastic deformation behavior was shown as applied the high strain over $1,000^{\circ}C$. Also the elastic constants of the SiC crystal were changed from about 475 GPa to 425 GPa as increased the temperature to $1,250^{\circ}C$.

In order to reduce the weight of glass in architecture, automobile, bottles, displays, a new technique that can strengthen glass was developed using various method. Generally, the strength achieved of glass-ceramics is higher as is 1.he fracture toughness by the formation of a crystalline phase inside glass. In this study, $70SiO_2-20Na_2O-10CaO-10TiO_2$ glasses were irradiated to strengthen by heterogeneous phase using femto-second laser pulse. Laser pulse irradiation of samples was analyzed by DTA, TMA, XRD, nano-indenter and SEM. Samples irradiated by laser had lower value$(3\~4\times10^{-3}Pa)$ of nano indentation which related with mother glass$(8\times10-3Pa)$ than values. Microcracks were occurred around laser irradiation area when femtosecond laser with the repetition rate of 1kHz was used as the light source to induced heterogeneous phase.

We investigated the influence of several processes, including the preparation of slurry and preform and the heat-treatment of the preform, on the properties of composites to fabricate the carbon-fiber reinforced glass composites having good mechanical properties. Cerander was determined to be the best binder among Cerander, Rhoplex and Elvacite 2045 by the dipping test and the binder within a preform could be completely eliminatd by burning out the specimen under 10-6 Torr at 400$^{\circ}C$ for more than 1h. The fracture behavior of a composite was largely dependent on the uniformity of carbon-fiber distribution within the composite and the heat-treatment condition of the composite. The higher the glass content, the more difficult to obtain uniform distribution of carbon-fiber. As the hot-pressing temperature increased, the densification process of the composite and the formation of pore due to oxidation of carbon fiber occurred competitively. But, above 1000$^{\circ}C$ the latter played a predominant role. We could fabricated the densest 15 vol.% carbon-fiber-content glass composite having the highest toughness and flexural strength of 250 MPa by hot-pressing under 15 MPa at 900$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

Tetragonal (t)-ZrO2/Al2O3 composites doped with Y2O3, Nb2O5, and Fe2O3 ((Y, Nb, Fe)-TZP/Al2O3) were prepared over the range containing Fe2O3 from 0.1 to 0.5 mol% with 0.1 mol% intervals to evaluate the effect of Fe2O3 addition on chromaticity, hydrothermal stability, and mechanical property of the composites. After autoclaving for 20 h at 18$0^{\circ}C$ under 3.5 MPa water vapor pressure, no tlongrightarrowm phase transformation was observed probably due to the preferential solid solubility of Fe2O3 in Al2O3, the presence of the rigid Al2O3 particles, and the inherent phase stability of (Y, Nb)-TZP. The optimized strength and the fracture toughness of the composite were 700 MPa and 8.5 MPa.m1/2, respectively, when 0.1 mol% Fe2O3 was added. The composites have shown a gradual color change from a slightly white ivory to a pale yellowish brown with increasing the Fe2O3 concentration.

Gas pressure sintering (GPS) of reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) was performed using $Lu_2O_3-SiO_2$ additive and the properties were compared with those of specimens prepared using high purity $Si_3N_4$ powder. The relative density of RBSN and compacted $Si_3N_4$ powder were 68.9 and 47.1%, and total linear shrinkage after sintering at $1900^{\circ}C$ were 14.8 and 42.9%, respectively. High nitrogen partial pressure (5MPa) was required during sintering at $1900^{\circ}C$ in order to prevent the decomposition of the nitride and to promote the formation of SiC. The relative density and 4-point bending strength of RBSN and $Si_3N_4$ powder compact were 97.7%, 954MPa and 98.2%, 792MPa, respectively, after sintering at $1900^{\circ}C$. The sintered RBSN also showed high fracture toughness of 9.2MPam$^{1/2}$.

The composites were fabricated respectively 61vol.% ${\beta}$-SiC and 39vol.% $TiB_2$ spray-dried powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ by pressureless annealing at $1700^{\circ}C,\;1750^{\circ}C\;1800^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase. The relative density, the Young's modulus and fracture toughness showed respectively the highest value of 92.97%, 92.88Gpa and $4.4Mpa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites by pressureless annealing temperature $1700^{\circ}C$ at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of $8.09{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for composite by pressureless annealing tempe rature $1700^{\circ}C$ at $25^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity of the SiC-$TiB_2$ composites was all positive temperature cofficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature ranges from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.

경사기능 재료는 위치에 따른 특성 변화를 갖고 있어 변화하는 주변 환경에서 사용되는 재료의 응용성을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 적합한 경사기능 재료의 제조를 위해서는 탄성률, 강도, 인성 등의 위치에 따른 변화를 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 재료 내에서의 탄성률 변화 등으로 인해 경사기능 재료에서 인성을 정량적으로 표현하는데는 어려움이 있으므로 이를 정량적으로 측정하고, R-curve를 결정하는 것은 재료의 응용성에 중요한 인자가 된다. 본 연구에서는 폴리우레탄 스폰지를 이용하여 밀도의 분포가 연속적으로 다른 폴리 우레탄 스폰지를 제조하고 이에 알루미나 분말 슬러리를 이용하여 slip casting을 행하였다. 그 후 폴리 우레탄 스폰지를 탈지한 후 알루미나 성형체를 소결하여 연속적인 기공률 분포가 다른 다공성 알루미나를 제조하였으며, 이에 Al을 용침하여 $Al_2O_3-Al$ 경사기능 재료를 제조하였다. 이러한 $Al_2O_3-Al$ 경사기능 재료에 대해 파괴인성 및 R-curve 특성을 CT(conpact tension)시편으로 측정하였으며, 이를 균일한 복합체의 파괴인성과 비교하였다. 또한 잔류 응력 특성을 파악하기 위해 실험적이 응력 데이터를 Moire interferometry를 이용하여 결정하였다. 또한 이를 유한요서 해석법(FEM)에 의한 계산치와 비교하였다. 서로 다른 조성 분포를 갖는 $Al_2O_3-Al$ 경사기능 재료와 균일한 복합체의 파괴인성을 비교한 결과 동일한 Al조성에서도 서로 다른 파괴 인성치가 나타났다. $Al_2O_3-Al$ 경사기능 재료에서 파괴인성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 인자로는 술수한 $Al_2O_3$의 파괴인성에 Al금속의 소성변형에 의한 인성증진 효과, 그리고 경사기능 재료에서 상호 조성차이에 따른 잔류응력을 고려할 수 있을 것이다. 이중 $Al_2O_3-Al$ 경사기능 재료의 파괴인성에 미치는 잔류응력의 영향을 고려하기 위해 이의 잔류응력에 대해 실험에 의한 유추된 잔류응력과 FEM계산에 의해 유추된 잔류 응력을 비교, 분석하였다.

The objective of the present study is to provide statistical resistance statistics for steel-concrete composite plate girder sections under positive and negative moments. Statistical properties on yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and fracture toughness of domestic structural steel products, gathered from an analysis of over 16,000 samples, were evaluated. Using the steel samples for the plate girder, the bias factor and the coefficient of variation of the ultimate flexural resistance for representative composite plate girder sections under positive and negative flexures were presented. In calculating the ultimate flexural resistance of the composite section, the moment curvature relationships were developed using the incremental load approach considering material nonlinearity for the steel girder. The predicted statistics can be used in the future for the efficient calibration of LRFD code.

Three- and five-layer 3Y-YZP/12Ce- TZP composites prepared by a slip casting method have been char­acterized in terms of mechanical properties. The fracture strength of mutilayer c$\alpha$nposites determined in a diametral compression test was 327~534 MPa. Although the indentation strength of the materials was generally reduced with i increasing Vickers indentation load up to 300 N, the damage resistance of multilayer composites was superior com­pared to monolithic layer TZP material. The four-point bend strength of the layered material remained at the values of 620~674 MPa after indentation with a load of 49 N, while that of the monolithic TZP material was 129~339 MPa. The microindentation toughness of the multilayer material was $7.7~13.1\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$.
