| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Validity of an anti-fatigue smart paste, which is a mixture of fine and very hard particles and a viscous fluid, has been experimentally confirmed when applied to various enclosed spaces such as bolt holes, microcapsules or welding roots. Also the influencing factors, such as viscosity of the paste, particle material and particle size, have been comparatively studied. Concerning the crack retardation phenomenon by the wedge effect of foreign matter in a crack, crack growth analyses have been carried out using finite element models, and the thickness and forming range of the wedge have been quantitatively examined invoking the actual crack growth data. In addition, a new method of visual detection of cracks using viscous fluid with high thixotropy was invented and validated experimentally.
