This paper investigated plane strain stress intensity factors caused by thermal impact on a center-crack strip. The crack was aligned perpendicularly to the strip boundary. The problem was analysed by determining the dislocation density function in the singular integral equations formulated by the dislocation theory. Under the abrupt temperature change along the edge, the center crack behaved as a mode I crack due to the symmetric geometry. The value of maximum stress intensity factor monotonically increased until the ratio of dimensionless crack length approached to about 0.3, followed by gradual decrease. As a result, a critical corresponding crack length was determined.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of local wall thinning on the collapse of elbow subjected to internal pressure and bending moment. Thus, the nonlinear 3D finite element analyses were performed to obtained collapse moment of elbow containing various wall thinning defects under two loading; modes (closing and opening modes) and defect locations (intrados and extrados). From the results of analyses, the influence of wall thinning defect on the global moment-rotation behavior of elbow was discussed, and the dependance of collapse moment of elbow on wall thinning depth, length, and circumferential angle was investigated under different loading mode and defect location.

In order to investigate the effect of face material on Ti/Al alloy laminates under high velocity impact, a ballistic testing was conducted. Ballistic resistance of these materials was measured by protection ballistic limit($V_{50}$), a statistical velocity with 50% probability penetration. Fracture behaviors and ballistic tolerance, described by penetration modes, were respectfully observed, by $V_{50}$ test and Projectile Through Plates (PTP) test at velocities greater than $V_{50}$. PTP tests were conducted with $0^{\circ}$obliquity at room temperature using 5.56mm ball projectile. $V_{50}$ tests with $0^{\circ}$obliquity were also done with projectiles that were able to achieve near or complete penetration during PTP tests. Resistance to penetration, and penetration modes which face material was Titanium alloy, were compared to those which face material was anodized Al alloy after cold-rolling.

This study is to choose the most proper model for AGV throughout simulation of behavior of suspension to reduce trial and error because there is no AGV treating heavy weight at harbor loading and unloading at home. Therefore, we estimate the vibration modes of the various suspensions applied to AGV, which is over 75 ton included the weight of two containers using the Matlab, one of the simulation programs.

The failure of material structures or mechanical system is considered as a direct or indirect result of fatigue. In the design of mechanical structure for estimating of reliability, the prediction of failure life is the most important failure mode to be considered. However, because of a complicated behavior of fatigue in mechanical structure, the analysis of fatigue is in need of much researches on life prediction. This document presents a prediction of fatigue life of the SAPH45 steel, which is extensively for vehicle frame. The method using lethargy coefficient and stress distribution factor at pediction of fatigue life based on the consideration of the failure characteristics from the tensile test should be provided in this study.

In this paper, basic micro-mechanical properties of unidirectional CFRP composite shell such as bonding strength, fiber volume fraction and void fraction are measured and tensile strength test is performed with a fixture. And then fracture surfaces are observed by SEM. In case of basic micro-mechanical properties, bonding strength is reduce with decreasing of radius of each ply in a shell for the effect of residual stress, fiber volume fraction is smaller than plate, and void fraction is vise versa. For these reason, tensile strength of shell is smaller than plate fabricated with same prepreg. For failure mode shell has many splitted part along its length, and it is assumed that this phenomenon is caused by the difference of bonding strength for residual stress.

Recently, the uses of ceramic/metal bonded joints for structural materials have increased in various engineering fields such as automobiles, heat engines, and so on. A method of strength evaluation focussing on fracture criterion of mixed was investigated in Si3N4/metal bonded joint. Also, Fracture toughness tests of Si3N4/metal bonded joints with an interface crack were carried out and the stress intensity factors of these joints were analyzed by boundary element method. From the results, the fracture criterion and method of strength evaluation by the fracture toughness were proposed in Si3N4/metal bonded joints

It is necessary first to understand dynamic characteristics of a bus full BIW assembly for fatigue endurance analysis. FE model has been used usually for analyzing the dynamic behavior of structures. A lot of experience and effort, however, is necessary to make a credible FE model. Experimental modal analysis of structures has been performed to verify the credibility of initial FE model and to update the model. (omitted)

The Frequency Response Function(FRF)s of FE Model reduced by SEREP methods accurately estimate the full model at resonance frequencies, However these FRFs are not accurate at antiresonance frequencies, Additionally, the truncation errors may he significant in the reduction mode1. So this paper considers the possibility of SERFP method through a numerical method to preserve dynamic behavior at antiresonance and appliers the static or dynamic compensation methods for truncation errors to the reduction model. This compensated reduction model is redesigned for pole-zero cancellation methods the objective of reducing a resonance frequency.

This paper summarizes a satellite program-specific performance requirements and test results for the verification of standard mono-propellant hydrazine thruster (MRE-1) producing 0.95 lbf (4.2 Newtons) nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia (2.41 Mpa). Performance characteristics are shown in terms of thrust behavior at steady state and pulse mode firing. Hot firing test philosophy is briefly introduced, too.
