This paper presents the numerical investigation for the hydraulic behavior of a fractured rock mass with a hydromechanical interaction which may be considered during the in-situ hydraulic injection test. These experiments consist in a series of flow meter injection tests for fractures existing along an open hole section installed in a borehole, and experimental results are applied for testing a numerical model developed to the analysis and prediction of such hydromechanical interactions. Field experimental results show that conductive fractures form a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fractures cannot be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intaking zones generate when pore pressure exceeds the minimum principal stress magnitude in that borehole, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress can be further supported by the circulated fractures. In this study, these characteristics are investigated numerically how to influence the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass by using a discrete fracture ntework model.

We studied the characteristics and the growth mechanism of surface cracks from the Naksansa seven-storied stone pagoda(Treasure No. 499). The pagoda is composed of both medium-grained, porphyritic biotite granite and hornblende-biotite granite. Alkali feldspar megacrysts are easily found as phenocrysts in the rocks. Surface cracks intensely developed at the lower part of the stone pagoda, and their directions are of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. The rocks of the pagoda have intrinsic microcracks which can be defined as rift and grain rock cleavages. Both rock cleavages seems likely to have led to the crack growth and consequently to the mechanical deterioration of the pagoda. The vertical cracks developed parallel to the vertical compressive stress, whereas horizontal ones formed by tensile strength normal to the vertical compression. In addition mineral cleavages and twin planes of alkali feldspar phenocrysts seems to have been closely related to the mechanical breakdown of the rocks in the NE part of the pagoda.

Pseudo-random load waves for fatigue testing were generated by personal computer simulation and preliminary study was performed on the growth behavior of surface fatigue crack under random ladings. The closure behavior and growth rates of surface fatigue crack were significantly influenced by the characteristics of random waves. It was also found that the growth rates of surface fatigue crack under random loadings could not be always described by the effective stress intensity factor based on the concept of crack closure.

항공기는 전체 수명동안 무수한 반복하중에 노출되기 때문에, 동체에 피로로 인한 다중균열이 불가피하게 발생하게 된다. 이 다중균열은 기체의 강성을 저하시킬 뿐 만 아니라, 종국적으로는 해당 기체구조의 파단을 야기할 수 있다. 초기 결함과 운용 중에 작용되는 응력 스펙트럼은 구조물의 피로수명에 영향을 끼치며 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 초기결함 특성을 파악하기 위한 등가초기결함크기 분포를 산출하고 리벳 시편의 다중균열모델에 대해서 초기결함과 응력배열을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 인장하중을 받는 균열이 없는 박판 시험편과 45˚경사균열시험 편의 고유진동수 측정을 위하여 레이저 홀로그래피법을 이용하여 진동모드 측정을 하 여 그 결과를 비교분석하는 실험방법을 택하였으며, 균열이 없는 박판에 대해서만 무 차원하중의 증가에 따른 고유 진동수의 변화관계를 실험치와 Ritz Method에 의한 유한 요소 해석치와 비교하였다.

The stress and displacement fields of a permeable propagating crack in orthotropic piezoelectric materials under anti-plane shear mechanical load and in-plane electric load are analyzed. The equations of motion for the propagating crack in piezoelectric materials are developed and the solution on the stress and the displacement fields through an asymptotic analysis was obtained. The influences of the piezoelectric constant and of the dielectric permittivity on the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are explicitly clarified. Using the stress and displacement fields obtained in this study, the characteristics of stress and displacement at a propagating crack tip in piezoelectric materials are discussed.

This paper presents groundwater flow characteristics in discontinuous rock mass using fracture network program(NAPSAC) by statistical approach. Equivalent permeability coefficients are estimated from borehole data around Mabuk test tunnel site and fracture map on the arch of the tunnel. The reliability of fracture network model is obtained from determination of input data for statistical fracture network analysis from the real data(data of fracture network, data of hydraulic tests). The variation of permeability and mean anisotropic permeability coefficients are calculated from the realized model by increasing the size. As a result of analysis, a strong anisotropy of permeability is observed according to the direction of the fracture sets around the test tunnel.

가압 경수로형 원전에 사용되는 Alloy 600 증기발생기 전열관재료의 입계응력부식균열 거동에 미치는 냉간변형의 영향을 1차 냉각수 모사조건에서 정속인장시험방법으로 조사하였다. 인장 냉간변형은 응력부식균열을 크게 가속화 시키지는 않았으며 변형량이 25%이상인 경우에는 응력부식균열이 발생하지 않았다. 이 현상은 냉간 변형량 및 형태에 따른 미소변형 및 응력의 불균질성에 영향을 받는 것으로 사려되며 응력의 크기는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 보인다. 국부적인 큰 응력구배가 존재하는 경우 균열의생성 및 성장이 현저히 가속화되었는데 이는 원전 1차측 응력부식균열 기구가 응력구배에 의존하는 과정과 연관되어 있다는 증거이다. Hump 시편을 이용한 정속인장시험방법은 짧은 실험기간내에 원전 1차측 응력부식균열 특성을 평가할 수 있는 방법이었다.

Fatigue behavior of before-and-after penetration was examined experimentally using surface pre-cracked specimens of aluminium alloy 5083-0. The fatigue crack shape before penetration is almost semicircular, and the measured aspect ratio is larger than the value obtained by calculation using K values proposed by Newman-Raju. It is found that the crack growth behavior on the back side after penetration is unique and can be divided into three stages. By using a crack propagation rule in case of long surface crack, the change in crack shape after penetration can be evaluated quantitatively.
