Abstract: Mechanical tests have been conducted to understand compressive behavior of a plain
weave C/SiC composite, especially to investigate the failure mechanism. The stress-strain curves of
this composite show linear feature in compression. The specimens fail along a flat plane 13°~15° to
the weave plane, running across four typical regions in the bulk: weft bundle, warp/weft interface,
warp bundle, and inter-ply. According to the observed fracture route, four basic failure modes are
schematically presented. Cracks form and develop in these areas along fiber/matrix interphase or
within matrix, depending on the strength competition between interphase and matrix. The fracture
mechanism reveals dependence of compress strength on matrix abundance between and within
bundles. Based on the failure modes new method for compress strength prediction can be further
investigated.

Abstract: SiC particulates reinforced with Al matrix composites were fabricated using a thermal
spray process. In addition, the dry sliding wear behavior was investigated using various sliding
speeds and applied loads. Premixed Al and SiC powder was sprayed onto an Al6061 substrate by
flame spraying, and dry sliding wear tests were performed under varying sliding speed and applied
load conditions. Wear behavior of the composites were studied using a scanning electron
microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and a surface roughness tester.

Abstract: A highly concentrated solution of polystyrene (PS) in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF)
was electrospun and the surface morphology of the electrospun PS fibers was investigated. Unlike
the porous morphology observed on the surface of the fibers electrospun from the PS solution in a
volatile solvent, e.g. tetrahydrofuran, a regular protuberance morphology was found on the surface
of the fibers electrospun from the PS solution in the non-volatile solvent, DMF. This unique surface
morphology was formed due to the presence of residual DMF solvent inside the electrospun PS
fiber. Due to the large diameter of the PS fibers (~5 to ~10 μm) formed from the highly viscous PS
solution, the DMF could not evaporate completely from inside them during the electrospinning
process. Therefore, the extrusive force of the residual solvent inside the fiber induced the formation
of a unique surface morphology. We believe that this unique surface morphology increases the
surface area of the electrospun fibers, thus making it possible to control their wetting or adsorption
behavior.

Abstract: This paper dealt with the fabricating process of liquid phase sintered (LPS) SiC ceramics
containing the oxide additives of Al2O3 and Y2O3, in conjunction with the evaluation of their
mechanical properties. LPS-SiC ceramics was sintered at the temperature of 1820 oC under an
applied pressure of 20 MPa and a pressure holding time of 2 hour. A commercial SiC powder with
an average size of about 0.3 μm was used as a starting powder. LPS-SiC ceramics with additive
composition ratios of 1.5 and 2.3 (Al2O3/Y2O3) represented an excellent density of about 3.2 Mg/m3.
LPS-SiC ceramics had a flexural strength of about 800 MPa and a fracture toughness of about 8.0
MPa⋅m0.5 at an additive composition ratio (Al2O3/Y2O3) of 1.5.

Abstract: The Al2O3-TiC/Al composites were prepared by injecting CO2 gas into Ti contained Al-Si
alloy melts. The microstructure of the composites was examined by XRD, SEM and TEM. It was
indicated that both Al2O3 and TiC particles can be formed by the in situ reaction of CO2 with Ti and
Al in the melten alloys. The Al2O3 and TiC particles in size of 0.3~1.5μm distributed uniformly in
the matrix. The volume fraction of the particles is mainly depend upon the time of CO2
injection.The tensile strength at room temperature of the composites can reach 346.08MPa and the
hardness is 149.6MPa HBS, repectively, which are higher than those of the matrix alloy.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new accelerated life test method of hydraulic pump used in
vehicles, which have multiple alternating loads. For determination of life time of hydraulic pump
for given field conditions with respect to duty cycle, the equivalent load and speed of this unit has
to be determined. Equivalent load and speed can be calculated from the given duty cycle using the
predominant theory for cumulative fatigue damage. Finally, we can perform accelerated life test on
hydraulic pump by determination of test pressure and speed from calculated equivalent cumulative
damage per working cycle and weighted average speed.

Abstract: In this study, we proposed a process of an accelerated life testing method of 5-speed
manual transmissions used in vehicles, which loads are consisted of multiple alternating loads. The
entire process of an 5-speed manual transmission’s accelerated life testing method where no failures
are allowed, is a process that requires an abundance of assumptions, and other factors that are
estimates such as the shape parameter, beta() and the fatigue damage exponent (x). And the
process is consisted of 7-step process. From the 1-setp, which is the deriving the service(use) torque
and speed(rpm) profile of the transmission, to the 7-step, we could determine the accelerated life
time, the accelerated torque and the accelerated speed(rpm), which are the equivalent cumulative
fatigue damage. Also, we have performed accelerated life test on 5-speed manual transmission by
using the following 7-step process.
