Traditionally, additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been used to fabricate prototypes in the early development phase of a product. This technology is being applied to release manufacturing of a product because of its low cost and fast fabrication. AM technology is a process of joining materials to fabricate a product from the 3D CAD data in a layer-by-layer manner. The orientation of a layer during manufacturing can affect the mechanical properties of the product because of its anisotropy. In this paper, tensile testing of polymer-based specimens were built with a typical AM process (FDM, PolyJet and SLA) to study the mechanical properties of the AM materials. The ASTM D 638 tensile testing standard was followed for building the specimens. The mechanical properties of the specimens were determined on the basis of stress-strain curves formed by tensile tests. In addition, the fracture surfaces of the specimens were observed by SEM to analyze the results.

Wear prediction of TBM disc cutters is a very important issue for hard rock TBMs as number of cutter head intervention. In this regard, some model such as NTNU, Gehring model, CSM models have been used to predict disc cutter wear and intervention interval. There are some deficiencies in these models. This paper developed a new test method for wear prediction for TBM disc cutter and proposed a new abrasion index. In this regard, different abrasivity indices along with their testing methods are explained. A comparative study is performed to develop the predictability of different cutter life evaluation methods and index. The evaluation of the new methods proposed in this paper shows a very good agreement with the actual cutter life and intervention interval length. The proposed tester and index can be easily used to predict the intervention interval length and cutter wear evaluation in both planning and construction stages of a TBM tunneling project.

In this paper, flexural test, girder-connection test and barrier-connection test for the pultruded composite bridge deck of hollow section, were carried out and its structural characteristics were evaluated. In the flexural test specimen, deflection was measured at center of the span and strains were measured at various locations to see the structural behavior up to the failure. In addition, finite element analysis was performed for the flexural test specimen and the results were compared with experiments, and load carrying capacity was evaluated. Also, field load test was conducted for the demonstration plate girder bridge and other field applications were described.

소결마찰재의 기공은 소결체의 기본 특성으로 제조공정에 따라 다양하게 형성되며, 기공량이 증가할수록 소결체의 강도나 경도를 낮추는 결과를 초래하지만, 수지령 마찰재료의 경우 일정량의 기공이 오히려 마찰특성에는 양호한 결과를 나타냈다. 소결 마찰재의 경우, 기공향은 제작공정상 성형압과 소결 가압력을 선정하는 기준이 되는 것이지만 아직까지 정량화된 결과가 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 동계소결 마찰재의 제조공정에서 기본적으로 내재되는 기공이 마찰특성에 어떠한 영향을 주며 또한 이러한 영향에 따라 최적 마찰특성을 나타내는 기공량을 제시하고자 하였다. 소결마찰재의 기공율은 성형체 밀도와 소결 가압력을 임의로 변화시켜 기공향을 조절하였고, 이렇게 만들어진 시편들은 정속식 마찰시험기를 이용하여 마찰특성을 평가하였다. 결과의 분석은 반복이 있는 이원배치법을 이용한 통계 수단을 사용하여 분산분석을 실시하고, 최적의 마찰특성을 나타내는 성형체 밀도와 소결 가압력을 제시하고자 하였다.

The shaped charge consists of the cast or pressed explosive and the metal liner. The pressure formed in detonation wave is so high that the liner is collapsed and the jet of high temperature, pressure and velocity is produced. The jet penetrates the target. In this paper, the simulation for optimization of flexible linear shaped charge(FLSC) was carried out by AUTODYNE program. Based on the results of simulation, we made a prototype of FLSC and evaluated penetration performance, flexibility and its application. The test result of prototype was compared with that of simulation.

In this study, an injection mold of tensile test specimen was manufactured by international standard. Pressure and temperature in the cavity of the injection mold was measured by sensors. Simulation of injection molding process was performed with the same condition of experiment and linear structural tensile analysis was also performed with the initial condition of the residual stress induced by injection molding analysis. Normalized elastic coefficient of tensile test was compared with that of structural analysis. It was shown that the residual stress induced by injection molding has an effect on both the experiment of tensile test and linear structural analysis.

본 연구에서는 종이 충격흡수의 효율적인 기하형상이 연구되었다. 일반적으로 충격흡수재는 골판지, 스폰지, 종이, 고무등으로 제작된다. 에너지 흡수거동에 대한 종이 충격 흡수재의 보강형태, 크기., 재료 특성에 대한 영향이 ABAQUS/Explicit5.5에 의한 유한요소 해석과 미끄럼 충격시험을 통해 연구되었다. 종이 충격 흡수재의 최대 변위는 충격속도에 따라 증가하며, 내부단수에 따라 감소하였다. 충격이력 특성은 내부단수가 7단일 때 5 msee까지 급속히 변형되며, 그 이후에는 영구변형으로 존재한다.

A study on the forming characteristics of outer shell structure for thrust chamber nozzle extension has been performed. In order to identify anisotropy of cold rolled sheet metal, three types of tensile specimens according to the direction to the sheet rolling axis were prepared and tested, and Landford's values were obtained using the results and applied to structural analysis. Forming characteristics of the outer shell structure of the nozzle extension are investigated through manufacturing and forming of the full scale outer shell structures, and strain values obtained by the forming processes are compared to the numerical analysis results. The results obtained by this study will be utilized to design forming tools and processes for manufacturing other outer shell structures which have a bigger expansion area ratio.

A new stress path test method, which is more suitable f3r evaluating settlements of clay deposits, was introduced. This new method is basically based on back pressure equalization concept and makes it possible to estimate deformations corresponding to all points on a specific stress path by only one test. As a result, deformation characteristics of a clay deposit can be predicted by a few tests and the more practical application of stress path method can be realized. In addition, anisotropic deformation behaviors following arbitrary stress paths also can be experimentally measured by this test method. Experimental applicability of the proposed method was confirmed by performing various stress path tests on remolded kaolinite samples and the actual process to evaluate overall deformation characteristics and settlements was also presented.

Rock fracture mechanics has been widely applied to various fields of rock and civil engineering. But most researches covered mode I behavior, though mode II behavior is dominant in rock engineering. Until now, there is only one ISRM suggested method for mode II toughness of rock. A new SCC (Short Core in Compression) mode II toughness test method was developed considering 1) application of confining pressure, 2) easiness of notch creation, 3) utilization of existing equipment, 4) simple test procedure. The stress intensity factors were determined by 3D finite element method considering line and distributed loading conditions. The tests with granite specimens were carried out using MTS 815 rock test system with a loading rate of 0.002 mm/s. The mean value of mode II fracture toughness of granite showed $2.33MPa{\sqrt{m}}$. Mode I toughness of the same granite was $1.12MPa{\sqrt{m}}$, determined by Brazilian disk test and $K_{IIC}/K_{IC}=2.08$. The smooth fracture surface with rock powder formation also supported mode II behavior of SCC method. The SCC method can be used for the determination of mode II fracture toughness of rocks based on the current results.
