The fatigue crack growth characteristics of base metal and weld joint of 9% Ni steel for LNG storage tank was carried out using CT specimen at room temperature and $-162^{\circ}C$. Fatigue crack growth rate of base and weld metals at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was coincided with a single line independent of the change of stress ratio and temperature. In the region of lower stress intensity factor range, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was slower than that at RT, and the slop of fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ increased sharply with propagating of fatigue crack, fatigue crack growth rate at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was intersected near the region of $2{\times}10-4\;mm$/cycle, and after the intersection region, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was faster than that at RT. The micro-fracture mechanism using SEM shows the ductile striation in the stable crack growth region. Also the defects of weld specimen after fatigue testing were detected using the A scan of ultrasonic apparatus.

This paper presents the micro-mechanical modeling for predicting concrete behavior under compressive loading. The model is able to represent the heterogeneities in the microstructure up to three phases, i.e., aggregate particles, matrix and interfaces. The smeared crack concept based on non-linear fracture mechanics is implemented in order to formulate the constitutive relation for each component. The splitting tensile strength is considered as a fracture criterion for cracking in micro-level. The finite element method is employed to simulate the model based on plane stress condition by using quadratic triangular elements. The validation of the model is verified by comparing with the experimental results. The influence of tensile strength from both aggregate and matrix phases on the concrete compressive strength is demonstrated. In addition, a guideline on selecting appropriate tensile strength for each phase to obtain specified concrete compressive strength is also presented.

Brittle materials, especially single-crystal silicon wafer, are widely used for sensors, IC industry, and MEMS applications. e general machining process of crack easy materials is by chemical agents, but it is hazardous and time consuming. Also, it is difficult to get high aspect ratio micro structure. As an alternative tool, an AJM(Abrasive jet machining) is promising method in terms of high aspect ratio and production cost. In this study, to get more precise detail compared to general AJM, photo polymer mask, SU-8, used in photolithography was applied in AJM. Process parameters such as abrasive diameter, air pressure, nozzle diameter, flow rate of abrasive in AJM and a variety of conditions in spin coating were decided. Finally, micro channel and mixer was fabricated to see the efficiency of the AJM with photo polymer mask.

Iodine-induced stress corrosion cracking (ISCC) properties and the associated ISCC process of Zircaloy-4 and an Nb-containing advanced nuclear fuel cladding were evaluated. An internal pressurization test with a pre-cracked specimen was performed with a stress-relieved (SR) or recrystallized (RX) microstructure at $350^{\circ}C$, in an iodine environment. The results showed that the $K_{ISCC}$ of the SR and RX Zircaloy-4 claddings were 3.3 and 4.8MPa\;m^{0.5}, respectively. And the crack propagation rate of the RX Zircaloy-4 was 10 times lower than that of the SR one. The chemical effect of iodine on the crack propagation rate was very high, which was increased $10^4$ times by iodine addition. Main factor affecting on the micro-crack nucleation was a pitting formation and its agglomeration along the grain boundary. However, this pitting formation on the grain-boundary was suppressed in the case of an Nb addition, which resulted in an increase of the ISCC resistance when compared to Zircaloy-4. Crack initiation and propagation mechanisms of fuel claddings were proposed by a grain boundary pitting model and a pitting assisted slip cleavage model and they showed reasonable results.

This study investigates the filed application in Daebul Free Trade Zone applying both a flowing method using drying shrinkage-reducing superplasticizer(SRS) and an insulating curing method using double layer bubble sheet. Test results showed that fresh concrete satisfied target slump and air content. A structure adding SRS significantly decreased the total bleeding capacity and accelerated the setting time. As for the crack occurrence, the structure applying the flowing method and double bubble sheets simultaneously exhibited the most favorable crack endurance, while conventional concrete showed more than 1mm size of crack in overall. In addition, a structure applying the flowing concrete method partially presented the micro crack. For the area proportion of crack occurrence, the structure using the double bubble sheets indicated 9.8%, while others applying flowing concrete method was 28%, compared with that of conventional one. For the compressive strength of specimens, standard curing specimens indicated $3{\sim}33%$ higher value than that of specimens cured besides the field construction. The specimens containing SRS improved the strength of $2{\sim}6MPa$, which is $10{\sim}22%$ higher than that of conventional concrete.

Rotary bending fatigue tests were carried out to investigate the influence of artificial defects on fatigue limit in annealed and austempered ductile iron. Obtained main results are as follows : (1) Artificial defect(micro hole type, dia.<0.4 mm) on specimen surface did not bring about a obvious reduction of fatigue limit in austempered ductile iron(ADI) as compared with annealed ductile iron. (2) According to the investigation of $\sqrt{area}_c$ which is the critical defect size to crack initiation at artificial defect, $\sqrt{area}_c$ of ADI is larger than that of annealed ductile iron. This shows that the situation of crack initiation at artificial defect in ADI is more difficult in comparison with annealed ductile iron. (3) One of the reasons for the low rate of crack initiation from artificial defect in ADI is that the resistance of matrix to crack initiation is higher than that of annealed ductile iron. (4) In case that the $\sqrt{area}$ of artificial defect and graphite nodule is the same, the rate of crack initiation from graphite nodule is higher than that from artificial defect. This reason is that the serious ruggedness around graphite nodule is formed by austempering treatment.

Test showed that fresh concrete satisfied target slump and air content. A structure adding SRS significantly decreased the total bleeding capacity and accelerated the setting time. As for the crack occurrence, the structure applying the flowing method and double bubble sheets simultaneously exhibited the most favorable crack endurance, while conventional concrete showed more than 1mm size of crack in overall, and a structure applying only the flowing method partially presented micro crack. For the area proportion of crack occurrence, the structure using the double bubble sheets indicated 9.8%, while others applying flowing method was 28%, compared with 100% of conventional one. Standard curing specimens had about $3{\sim}6%$ higher compressive strength than that of specimens cured at adjacent field construction. In addition, using SRS improved about $5{\sim}7MPa$, than that of conventional concrete at 91 days elapse.

본 연구는 SiC입자를 20% 강화된 알루미늄기 복합재료를 이용해서 평면굽힘피로시험을 향했다. 표면미소피로균열의 발생 및 진전거동은 레프리카법으로 연속관찰을 했고 파괴원인과 파괴기구를 규명하기 위해서 주사전자현미경을 이용했다. da/dn-$K_{max}$ 관계에서 저응력 레벨에서는 여러 개의 균열이 진전하고, 합체 등이 일어나는 것으로부터 진전속도는 꽤 분산(흐트러짐)이 심하고, 고응력 레벨에서는 비교적 흐트러짐은 적게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

석모도에서 산출되는 암석시료를 이용하여 파괴강도를 5단계로 나누고 하중을 증가시키면서 손상 진행에 따른 P-, S-파 속도의 변화 특성을 고찰하였다. 재하 전 상태에서부터 일축압축강도의 95%까지 하중을 받은 9개의 수포화 시험편들이 1시간 동안 상온에서 건조되어 가는 동안 탄성파 속도는 암종별로 변화폭이 상이하였으며, P-파의 경우 0.9 ~ 18.3%, S-파 속도는 2.8 ~ 14.8% 로 큰 차이를 보였다. 하중에 의해 건조한 암석에 미세균열이 발생하면 P-파 속도가 일률적으로 감소하는 현상과는 달리, 수포화 암석의 경우는 균열생성에 의한 속도 감소 요인과 수포화에 의한 속도 상승요인의 상호작용에 의해 속도 증감 양상이 매우 복잡하게 나타나지만 대부분의 경우에서 전반적으로 재하 초기단계에서는 속도가 증가하다가 나중에는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 감소가 시작되는 시점도 암종별로 1 ~ 4단계로 다양하다. 파괴 후에도 형태를 보존한 25h-2와 29-2 시료에 대해서 파괴후의 속도를 측정한 결과는 현저한 공극율의 상승과 함께 탄성파 속도도 현저히 감소하였다. 조암광물별로 보면 석영 함량이 증가하면 탄성계수가 커지며 층상구조형 규산염광물이 증가하면 탄성계수는 작아지는 경향을 보였다.

Micro-Pulling Down (${\mu}$-PD) 법을 이용하여 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$를 첨가하여 crack. 열 strain 등의 결함이 없는 화학양론조성의 $LiNbO_3$ 단결정을 c-축으로 직경 1.0mm, 길이 25-30mm의 크기로 성장시켰다. Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA)를 이용하여 결정 내에 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$이 균일하게 분포되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR)을 사용하여 OH 흡수밴드를 관찰하였고, 성장된 결정의 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$ 첨가에 따른 형광특성의 변화를 측정하였다.
