The roughness of discontinuity significantly influences the mechanical characteristics of rock masses and extensively affects thermal and hydraulic behaviors. In this study, we utilized photogrammetry to generate 3D point cloud data for discontinuity and applied this data to characterize the roughness of discontinuity. The discontinuity profiles, reconstructed from the 3D point cloud data, were compared with those manually measured using a profile gauge. This comparison served to validate the accuracy and reliability of the acquired point cloud data in replicating the actual configurations of rock surfaces. Subsequent to this validation, influence of the number of profiles for representative JRC assessment was further investigated followed by suggestion of roughness anisotropy evaluation method with application of it to actual rock discontinuity surfaces.

The behavior of rock mass is influenced by its microscopic feature of internal structure generating from forming and metamorphic process. This study investigated a new methodology for characterization of rock based on the X-ray CT (computed tomography) images reflecting the spatial distribution characteristics of internal constituent materials. The X-ray image based analysis is capable of quantification of heterogeneity and anisotropy of rock fabric, size distribution and shape parameter analysis of rock mineral grains, fluid flow simulation based on pore geometry image and roughness evaluation of unexposed joint surface which are hardly acquired by conventional rock testing methods.

직물의 질감을 객관화시키는 연구는 고부가가치의 의류제품을 생산하고 판매하는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 질감은 직물의 역학적 성질과 표면상태에 따라 좌우되며, 이의 측정방법 중에서 KES-F system이 가장 객관화되어 있다. KES-F system을 이용한 표면 거칠기 측정방법은 피아노선을 굴곡 시켜 일정한 힘을 가한 상태에서 직물의 표면을 문질러 측정하므로 직물의 표면을 문질러 측정하므로 직물 표면의 잔털이 눌려진 상태여서 질감해석을 위한 정확한 측정이 어렵다. 따라서 우리는 기하학적인 직물 표면의 거칠기를 표면의 변형없이 측정 가능한 레이저 센서를 사용하였다. 한편 직물의 주로 경사ㆍ위사로 짜여져 있어 이방성 성질을 가지고 있으므로 직물을 3방향으로 측정하여 해석하였다. 측정된 신호는 FET를 이용하여 일정한 주기의 표면형태를 구하고, 표면 높낮이의 평균, 최저값과 최고값을 구하여 표면의 특성을 얻었다. 직물 표면에 존재하는 잔털은 영상처리장치를 이용하여 양을 측정하였으며 표면의 거칠기 측정결과와 비교 분석하여 레이저 센서를 이용한 비접촉식 측정방법의 오차분석 및 표면 특징을 해석하였다.

In order to quantify the anisotropic properties of rock included joints and shear behavior in joint surface, the mold is Produced for rock joint surface using gypsum Plaster and Peformed for replicated joint models made of cement mortar. Rock sample is measured using mechanical profilometer before testing and their result is expressed quantitatively. The statistical parameters and the fractal dimension by fractal theory for roughness is investigated its coordinate value for numerical process. The shear strength to the shear displacement in low level normal stress ismaintained or increased in most joint models. Their results present that this relationship is depended several roughness properties in joint model for natural rock joint. The relationship between the shear strength and the Properties for profiles estimated by some statistical parameter in roughness has the low correlation and is not constant. The result between the data for direct shear test and using Barton's equation, Barton's equation has not the effectiveness for the effect of anisotropy and has not suitable to recognizing the properties for joint surface. It means that JRC has not the properties of anisotropic rock surface. The fractal dimension is well correlated with the data of direct shear test than those of JRC. New experimental formulae using fractal dimension is comported with the anisotropic properties for direct shear test.

This is a study on large-scale rock joint roughness measurements using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) and the Split-FX point cloud processing software. The large-scale rock Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) is calculated using the maximum amplitude of joint asperities over the profile length on large-scale Joint surfaces of rock. As the profile length increases, JRC decreases due to scale-effects of rock specimens and is non-stationary. Also JRC shows anisotropy depending on the profile direction. The profile direction is measured relative to either dip or strike of the large-scale joint.

The precision cyclic shear test system was established to investigate the mechanical characteristics of rough rock joints under cyclic loading conditions. Laboratory cyclic shear tests were conducted for saw-cut joints and artificial rough rock joints using Hwangdeung granite and Yeosan marble. Surface roughness and aperture characteristics of specimens were examined by measuring surface topography using the laser profilometer. Peak shear strength, phase difference during loading and unloading, and anisotropic shear behavior were investigated throughout the cyclic shear test results. These features and their subsequent variations in each loading cycle are significantly dependent upon the second order asperities and the strength of intact rock. It was observed that degradation of asperities for rough rock joints under cyclic shear loading followed the exponential degradation laws of asperity angle and that the mechanism for asperity degradation would be different depending upon the normal stress level, roughness of joint surface and the loading stage.

We investigate the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in $TiO_2$/Co/Pd on GaAs(100), MgO(100), MgO(111), Si(100), and glass substrates. We find that the roughness of $TiO_2$ depends on the $O_2$ partial pressure in the magnetron sputtering process. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropies are found in all substrates with $TiO_2$ seed layer, and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co/Pd system is insensitive on the type of the substrate when the thickness of $TiO_2$ seed layer is thicker than 5 nm. However, MgO(111) substrate promotes $TiO_2$ rutile (111) structure, and it causes largest perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in $TiO_2$/Co/Pd(111) structures.

펄스 직류 $BCl_3$ 플라즈마를 이용하여 GaAs와 AlGaAs의 건식식각을 연구하였다. 공정의 주요 변수는 펄스 직류 전압(350~550V), 펄스 직류 시간($0.4{\sim}1.2{\mu}sec$.), 펄스 직류 주파수(100~250kHz)이었다. 식각 실험 후 샘플의 식각률, 식각 선택도, 표면 형상을 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 광학 발광 분석기(Optical Emission Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 식각하는 동안 플라즈마 방전 특성을 분석하였다. 표면 단차 측정기(Alpha-step IQ, Tencor)로 식각 깊이를 측정해 식각률을 계산하였다. 표면 거칠기 또한 단차 측정기의 표면 거칠기 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 식각 벽면과 표면 상태는 주사전자현미경(Field-emission scanning electron microscopy)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 분석 결과는 1) 펄스 직류의 전압이 증가하면 전극에 걸리는 파워가 올라가고 GaAs와 AlGaAs의 식각률도 증가하였다. 2) 76 mTorr 공정 압력, $0.7{\mu}sec$. 펄스 직류 시간과 200 kHz 주파수 일 때 10 sccm $BCl_3$ 펄스 직류 플라즈마에서 GaAs와 AlGaAs 둘 다 약 $0.4{\mu}m/min$ 이상의 식각 속도를 보여주었다. 3) 식각 선택도는 펄스 직류의 전압이 높아지면 증가하였고, 펄스 직류 주파수의 증가도 공정 파워와 GaAs와 AlGaAs의 식각률을 증가시켰다. 4) 그러나 펄스 직류 주파수가 150kHz 이하일 때에는 GaAs와 AlGaAs가 거의 식각되지 않았다. 5) 표면 거칠기는 펄스 직류 주파수가 증가하면 미세하게 좋아졌고 플라즈마는 펄스 직류 주파수가 100~250kHz 일 때 생성되었다. 6) 펄스 직류 시간의 증가는 공정 파워, 식각률, 식각 선택도 모두의 증가를 가져왔다. 7) 광학발광분석기(OES) 데이타는 $BCl_3$ 플라즈마에서 넓은 범위(450~700nm)에서의 염소(Cl) 분자 피크를 나타내었다. 8) 전자 현미경 사진은 펄스 직류 전압이 400 V보다 550 V 일 때보다 더 이방성(Anisotropic)측면과 부드러운 표면을 나타냈지만, 조금의 홈(Trench)이 발견되었다. 결론적으로 펄스 직류 $BCl_3$ 플라즈마는 GaAs와 AlGaAs의 건식식각에서 우수한 결과를 나타냈었다.

A computer program to numerically predict the permeability tensor of fractured rocks is developed using information on discontinuities which Borehole Televiewer and Borehole Image Processing System (BIPS) provide. It uses orientation and thickness of a large number of discontinuities as input data, and calculates relative values of the 9 elements consisting of the permeability tensor by the formulation based on the EPM model, which regards a fractured rock as a homogeneous, anisotropic porous medium. In order to assess feasibility of the program on field sites, the numerically calculated tensor was obtained using BIPS logs and compared to the results of pumping test conducted in the boreholes of the study area. The degree of horizontal anisotropy and the direction of maximum horizontal permeability are 2.8 and $N77^{\circ}CE$, respectively, determined from the pumping test data, while 3.0 and $N63^{\circ}CE$ from the numerical analysis by the developed program. Disagreement between two analyses, especially for the principal direction of anisotropy, seems to be caused by problems in analyzing the pumping test data, in applicability of the EPM model and the cubic law, and in simplified relationship between the crack size and aperture. Aside from these problems, consideration of hydraulic parameters characterizing roughness of cracks and infilling materials seems to be required to improve feasibility of the proposed program. Three-dimensional assessment of its feasibility on field sites can be accomplished by conducting a series of cross-hole packer tests consisting of an injecting well and a monitoring well at close distance.

Laboratory-scale hydraulic fracturing experiments were conducted on granite specimens at various viscosities and injection rates of the fracturing fluid. A series of cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images of fractured specimens was obtained via a three-dimensional X-ray CT imaging method. Pixel-level fracture segmentation of the CT images was conducted using a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based Nested U-Net model structure. Compared with traditional image processing methods, the CNN-based model showed a better performance in the extraction of thin and complex fractures. These extracted fractures extracted were reconstructed in three dimensions and morphologically analyzed based on their fracture volume, aperture, tortuosity, and surface roughness. The fracture volume and aperture increased with the increase in viscosity of the fracturing fluid, while the tortuosity and roughness of the fracture surface decreased. The findings also confirmed the anisotropic tortuosity and roughness of the fracture surface. In this study, a CNN-based model was used to perform accurate fracture segmentation, and quantitative analysis of hydraulic stimulated fractures was conducted successfully.
