In the institute's project on the "Evaluation technology for time-dependent
damage of structural materials", we aim at the establishment of the
life evaluation technology for time-dependent damage, such as creep, fatigue
and stress corrosion cracking. |

We are going to make clear the degradation mechanism due to long-term
creep over than 104
h and high-cycle fatigue over than 109 cycles, based on the characterization of nano- & micro-scale mechanical
properties by means of nano-technologies such as nano-indentation, and
the non-destructive evaluation based on the fracture mechanics. At the
same time, we will establish basic technologies of fabrication, measurement
and reliability evaluation of nano- & micro-scale materials which can
be applied to micro-machines.
We will develop reliable life evaluation technologies which will contribute
to the international standard and the accident analysis in collaboration
with Datasheet and Database. |
