The Japanese sword is a weapon peculiar to Japan. The Japanese sword is interesting not only from the viewpoint of traditional crafts of arts, but also from the aspect of modern science and technology because the way of making and its functionality as a weapon are really consistent with science. The present study is concerned with the connection between tohshin (blade) and tsuka (hilt) of the sword. Only one mekugi-take (retaining peg made of bamboo) with about 5mm in diameter holds Nakago (tang) in the hilt. However the slender mekugi might not be broken, even though in the case of violent sword-fighting. This fact has been historically demonstrated in many battles by Japanese swords. In this study, using a Tachi being the typical Japanese sword, it is examined theoretically and experimentally from the viewpoint of impact engineering why a mekugi used in Japanese swords might not be broken. As a result, it is made clear that such a strong force as breaking mekugi-take does not act on it, because of the location of mekugi-ana (a hole for mekugi) in the tang, which has been made by the traditional code of sword-smiths.

The present study is concerned with the estimation of power in Karate-doh. The measuring method and numerical estimation for impact forces produced by Karate-doh hand techniques such as Syutoh-uchi, Tettsui-uchi and so on, are discussed by experiments (by means of Tameshi-wari) and numerical simulations. In the beginning, an impact experiment of simply supported concrete beams was conducted to examine the impact response and the impact breaking of the concrete beam. And then Tameshi-wari of simply supported concrete beams was performed. In order to understand the mechanism of impact breaking of concrete beams by Karate-doh hand techniques, a numerical simulation was also carried using a dynamic finite element method with a Newmark-β method. The impact force generated between the hand and the concrete beam was estimated to be beyond 4.5 kN. It was also found that a reaction at both ends of the beam was almost never generated by virtue of the dominant modes of bending deformation of the beam. This indicates that, by means of Tameshi-wari, the impact breaking of the concrete beam floating in air is quite within the bounds of possibility. Therefore Tameshi-wari for concrete beams suspended in air was also tried and achieved the predicted results.

This paper is concerned with the tensile strength and strain rate of concrete materials by means of the experimental method of reflected tensile stress waves. The experiment is conducted by the Hopkinson bar technique and it is based on the superposition and concentration of tensile stress waves reflected both from the free ends of a striking bar and a specimen bar. The impact tensile experiment for concrete materials was carried out and the tensile strength of concrete under impact loadings was discussed as well as the effect of strain rates. This study is focused on the measurement of strain rates using both strain gages and crack gages. It is found that the impact tensile strength of concrete is remarkably influenced by strain rates ranging from 10^0 to 10^2 sec^<-1>.

In this research, the effect of pre-fatigue on the impact tensile properties of the welded butt joint of high strength steel plates, HR590 and HR780, was investigated by means of the split Hopkinson bar method for tensile test. For comparison, quasi-static tensile tests were also performed to examine the effect of strain rate on the strength and the elongation. It was found that the effect of pre-fatigue on the tensile strength of welded butt joints is quite small if the applied stress in the pre-fatigue is less than the apparent yield stress of the welded butt joints. In the results of quasistatic and impact tensile tests for the welded butt joint of HR780 steel, however, the fracture strain of the specimens subjected to high cycle pre-fatigue was larger than that of the virgin specimens. This may be caused by the increase in hardness due to pre-fatigue observed in the weld zone of the joints.
