In particle or short-fiber reinforced composites, cracking or debonding of the reinforcements cause a significant damage mode because the damaged reinforcements lose load carrying capacity. The average stress in the inhomogeneity represents its load carrying capacity, and the difference between the average stresses of the intact and broken inhomogeneities indicates the loss of load carrying capacity due to cracking damage. The composite in damage process contains intact and broken reinforcements in a matrix. An incremental constitutive relation of discontinuously-reinforced composites including the progressive cracking damage of the reinforcements have been developed based on the Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and Mori-Tanaka's mean field concept. Influence of the cracking damage on the stress-strain response of the composites is demonstrated.

It has been well known that the ductile cracking of steel would be accelerated by triaxial stress state. Recently, the characteristics of critical crack initiation of steels are quantitatively estimated using the two-parameters, that is, equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality, criterion. This study is paid to the fundamental clarification of the effect of geometrical heterogeneity and strength mismatching, which can elevate plastic constraint due to heterogeneous plastic straining, and loading rate on ductile crack initiation behavior. Also, the ductile crack initiation testing were conducted under static and dynamic loading using round bar specimens with circumferential notch and strength mis-matching. The result showed that the nominal strain at ductile crack initiation of circumferential notch specimens small then the round bar specimens for effect of geometrical discontinuity. Also, the nominal strain at ductile crack initiation was decreased with decrease of notch root radius of curvature.

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.

By applying Eshelby's theory on the'transformation' and' inhomogeneity'problems of an ellipsoidal inclusion, a microscopic stress-strain is formulated for a composite material consisting of a matrix and a large number of aligned ellipsoidal inclusions. Some of the composites of practical interest, such as unidirectionally fiber- reinforced, Particle dispersion strengthened and layered composites can be treated by changing the axial ratios of the ellipsoidal inclusion. The macroscopic stress-strain relation obtained is applicable to elastic and elasto-plastic deformation of the composite in uniform loading.

In this study, the heterogeneity of internal structure of various igneous rocks acquired in Korea was quantified and correlated with the seismic velocity and the point load strength. Three-dimensional X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) was used to obtain information on the internal structure of the rock specimen, and the representative unit length (LR) was calculated by applying a statistical technique to the CT images. We also proposed an estimation equation to predict the mechanical properties of rocks from the relationship between LR, acoustic velocity and point load strength. In the proposed method, it is shown that the characterization of internal structure of rocks could be utilized as an indirect index to account for the mechanical behavior of rocks by substituting physical laboratory testing for non-destructive test.

본 연구에서는 야외규모 TCE (trichloroethylene) 질량전이역학을 평가하기 위해 TCE의 대수층 내 유입 및 용해상 거동을 고해상도 수치 모사를 실시하였다. 공간적으로 불균질한 대수층 $10{\times}10{\times}10m$ 도메인 내부의 유입된 TCE 분포를 모사하기 위해 본 연구를 통해 개발된 정성적 침투모델(percolation model)이 이용되었다. 이를 기초로 하여 연계되어진 (coupled) 지하수 유동 및 용해상 거동 장기 (long-term) 모사를 실시하였다. 지엽적으로 일어나는 질량전이는 기존 연구를 통하여 발표되어진 실험실규모 연구에 기초하였다. 지하수가 도메인을 지나 흘러나가는 경계면에서 측정되어진 용해상 (aqueous phase) TCE의 질량선속 (mass flux)을 통해 실질 야외규모 질량전이 상수가 계산되었다. 관찰된 바 야외규모 질량전이 상수는 실험실 연구를 통해 측정된 값에 비하여 휠씬 작은 값을 보였으며 이는 지하수 유속 및 TCE의 불균질한 분포에 기인한다. 야외규모 질량전이 상수는 평균 지하수 유속에 직접 비례하는 것으로 관찰되었고 이는 기존 실험실 연구를 통해 알려진 평균 지하수 유속의 0.7승이라는 결과와 대조되는 것이다. 또한 모사를 통해 관찰된 야외규모 질량전이 상수는 상대 TCE 질량의 고갈상수 승에 비례함을 보였다. 이러한 고갈상수는 TCE가 측방으로 퍼지는 현상이 강한 대수층, 즉 저투수성 층의 발달이 양호한 대수층, 에서는 1보다 작은 값을 갖고 그렇지 않은 대수층, 즉 저투수성 층의 발달이 미약한 대수층, 에서는 대체적으로 1보다 높은 값을 갖는 것으로 관측되었다. 이는 DNAPL의 측방 퍼짐이 강한 대수층에서는 용해로 인한 시간에 따른 오염원 부근에서의 농도 감소가 미약하기 때문인 것이며, 그와 반대로 DNAPL의 측방 퍼짐이 약한 대수층에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 용해에 의해 지속적으로 오염원 부근에서의 농도가 감소 또는 소멸함으로 인하여 측정되는 용해상 DNAPL의 질량 선속 역시 계속적으로 감소되는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
