To evaluate the mechanical properties of in-service materials, tensile properties measurement using small-scaled specimen has been carried out. Tensile testing specimens with various dimensions, including standard and sub-size specimen specified in ASTM and ISO and small-scaled specimen, were prepared. Tensile strain in small-scaled specimen was measured using micro-ESPI system set up in this study. This system was used in the specimen with the parallel length of 2 mm and in subsequently measuring the strain under tensile loading. From each type of tensile specimen, stress-strain curves were determined. The dimension effect of the tensile properties was investigated comparing the tensile results obtained from standard specimens and small-scaled specimens. It was shown that the tensile strength for the small-scaled specimen is lower by 15% than those for the standard specimen.

The application of fractal concept provides an useful method in the study for the quantitative analysis of irregular variations like the fracture surfaces and crack profiles. Fractal curves have characteristics that represents a self-similarity based on the fractal dimension. The fractal dimensions were obtained by the box counting method. In this report, we obtained the nearly stable fractal dimensions of fracture crack profiles for STS316 with CT specimen as the crack advances and the relationships between crack length and fractal dimension. Moreover fractal fracture parameter that corresponds to J-R curve is shown by the relationships between fractal dimension and crack extension. From the results, we concluded that crack extension of high toughness material also shows the fractal characteristics, which can be used in order to evaluate the crack life precisely.

The inspection unit which is developed and used in this study, is processed the shape data from the CCD camera to seek welding bite section shape, and then calculated as a real dimension from measuring the value of each inspection item. The reason of measuring with the real in this study is came out from the image method which used for a long time, which is extricated the characteristic as the dimension of pixel by recognize pixel. The measurement method of the section shape is that we decide the thresholding value after we drew the histogram to binarizate the object. After that, we make flat the object to get rid of the noise and measure the shape of welded part through the boundarization of the object. The shape measurement is that measure the value of the welding part to adapt the actual operation program from using the ratio between the actual dimension of the standard specimen and the dimension of image, to measure the ratio between the actual product and the camera image. The inspection algorithm which estimates the quality of welded product is developed and also, the software GUI(Graphic User Interface) which processes the automatic test function of the inspection system is developed. We make the foundation of the inspection automatic system and we will help to apply other welding machine.

Since fracture surface presents clear evidence to describe the circumstances of material failure event, analysis of fracture surface should provide plenty of useful information for failure prevention. Thus if we extract proper information from the fracture surface, the safety evaluation, for plant component could be more accurate. In general, the chaotic morphology of fracture surface is determined by the degree of material degradation as well as by other factors such as type of load, geometry of specimen, notch condition, microstructure of material and environment. In this research, we developed a fractal analysis technology for the fracture surface of aged turbine rotor steel based on the slit-island technique using an image analyzer. Moreover the correlation between the fractal dimension and the aging time was studied.

Surface micro-crack grows along intergranular or transgranular region of crystal grains. But if it meets the barrier such as sessile dislocation and precipitates it loses straightness and deflects. Investigators had many difficulties in estimating fatigue life of smooth specimen because of the random distribution growth and coalescence of surface micro-cracks. The path of surface micro-crack has irregularity due to nonhomogeneous microstructure. Euclidian geometry can't quantify the shape of surface micro-crack but fractal geometry can. Therefore in this paper fractal dimension is measured at various stage of cycle ratio and estimated cycle ratio in 2024-T3 aluminium, alloy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensional changes and surface morphology of dentures processed by various polymerization conditions. The measurements were done by taking radiograph and using vernier calipers and each specimen was observed on scanning electron microscope. Results obtained were as follows. 1. The difference of dimensional stability was not recognized between various polymerization conditions(heat-cured resin, pour-type resin, microwave-cured resin, and injection molding resin). 2. There were expansion and shrinkage in the occlusal dimension, shrinkage in the frontal dimension, and expansion in the lateral dimension. 3. Scanning electron microscope pictures of heat-cured resin showed dense and regular surface morphology. 4. Microwave-cured resin surface appeared more regular and smooth than pour-type resin but less dense and more irregular than heat-cured resin. 5. Scanning electron microscope pictures of pour-type resin with the lowest dimensional change showed the most irregular surface morphology.

A finite element analysis is proposed to study the effect of specimen dimensions on lateral diffusion of hydrogen during hydrogen permeation flux measurements. The error of measurement on thick specimens because of 1D diffusion approximation may be as much as 70%. A critical condition for accurate measurements is to designate the area of hydrogen monitoring/exit surface smaller than the area of hydrogen charging/entry surface. For thin to medium thickness specimens (ratio of thickness to specimen radius of 5:10 and below), the charging surface should be maximized and the monitoring surface should be minimized. In case of relatively thick specimens (ratio of thickness to specimen radius above of 5:10), use of a hydrogen-diffusion barrier on the specimen boundaries is recommended. It would completely eliminate lateral losses of hydrogen, but cannot eliminate the deviation towards 2D diffusion near the side edges. In such a case, the charging surface should be maximized and the monitoring surface should be as closer in dimension as the charging surface. A regression analysis was carried out and an analytical relationship between the maximum measurement error and the specimen dimensions is proposed.

In this paper, it was experimented about thermal and mechanical insulation properties of a elastic epoxy specimen. We made elastic epoxy specimen adding a ratio of 0[phr], 20[phr], 35[phr] and 53[phr] with modifier to existing epoxy. Each specimen was absorbed by 25h, 196h, 361h 484h with water. In water-absorption state, it was experimented a change of heat flows by temperature of elastic epoxy and changes of thermal expansion coefficient. Also, a hardness-change of each specimen was experimented by change of water-absorption time. In this experiment DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TMA (Thermomechanical Analysis) were used. A temperature range of DSC was changed from -0[$^{\circ}C$] to 200[$^{\circ}C$], TMA was changed from -0[$^{\circ}C$] to 350[$^{\circ}C$]. In addition, we investigated structural analysis of water absorbed specimen using SEM (Scanning electron microscope).

Results of an experimental investigation of low-rise reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular cross section under cyclic loads are discussed and evaluated. Two half scale models of test specimens with height to length ratio of 0.75 were experimented. The dimension of all walls is 1500mm wide $\times$ 950 mm high $\times$ 100 mm thick for all specimens and the section of all boundary at both ends is 100 mm $\times$ 200mm. Main variables are : horizontal shear reinforcement ratios and reinforcement details(including crossed diagonal shear reinforcements in SWR2 specimen) In SWR2 specimen, maximum strength and consequently dissipating energy index were 1.15~1.21 and 1.48 times greater than those of SWR1 specimen, respectively.
