As the properties of porous materials during the drying process relate to the atomistic defects of heterogeneous materials such as dislocation, grain, grain boundary, pore, etc., the knowledge of nano-scale analysis is needed in order to accurately analyze the drying process for porous materials. In this study, the atomic behavior of porous materials Is statically predicted by using the molecular dynamics simulation and the nano-scale material properties are computed. The elastic modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, and volumetric heat capacity numerically found from the molecular dynamics simulation are compared with those of experiment and theory and proved the accuracy.

It is well known that rock properties can be affected by loading in underground condition. In the case of flooded underground mine or tunnels, rock properties variation due to loading might be different from the loading in dry condition. In order to verify the influence of saturated loading condition on rock properties, various laboratory tests had been carried out. Loading on the rock specimen was controlled to be ranged in between 20 ~ 80% of UCS. By comparing the variation of thermal, mechanical, and physical properties of rock specimens under the same load in saturated and dry condition, it was possible to find that the rock properties can be more significantly disturbed in the saturated loading condition than in dry loading condition.

식품의 가공 분야뿐만 아니라 제약 공정 등의 생물산업 분야에서는 유변학(Rheology)이 차지하고 있는 위치는 매우 중요하며 물질의 유변물성을 정확히 파악하지 않고서는 정밀도를 요하는 가공 공정을 이룰 수 없어 우수한 제품을 생산하기 어렵다. 특히 작품 압출 성형분야에서 생물고분자(biopolymer) 원료의 유변 물성은 압출 성형시 중요한 역학을 하며 더 좋은 압출 성형 장치의 설계와 압출 공정의 제어를 위해서는 원료에 패한 물리적 성질의 이해와 압출 성형 장치 내에서 일어나는 변화를 이해해야 한다. (중략)

니들펀칭 부직포는 구성 섬유소 집합체(web)를 바늘에 펀칭시켜 통과시킴으로써 섬유소간의 물리적인 결합력을 이용하여 제작한 섬유 구조물을 말한다. 니들펀칭 부직포의 물성에 미치는 인자는 크게 다음 세가지라고 볼 수 있다. 첫째, web을 구성하는 섬유의 물성이다.[1-4] 즉, 구성섬유의 인장성질이나 단면의 모양, 크림프의 존재유무, 섬도, 섬유길이, 마찰특성들이 부직포의 물성에 직접적인 영향을 준다.(중략)

Although it is important to have high strength of each of fiber and matrix, interface between fiber and matrix is most important. If NaCl water penetrates the interface, that area will be weak. So experiment about increasing interfacial strength is in process. In this study, the change of properties by mechanical, interfacial and micromechanical tests was observed after NaCl and aging treatment. The changes in mechanical properties of glass fiber were investigated using single-fiber tensile test. Interfacial properties between glass fiber and epoxy resin were evaluated using nondestructive acoustic emission (AE) and micromechanical test applied to fatigue test. Through change of fatigue properties, relative interfacial properties were evaluate. In conclusion, glass fiber diameter decreased and the reduction of mechanical and interfacial was observed with NaCl solution and aging treatment.

In this study, the change in hydraulic conductivity according to the changes in the contact area, aperture, confining pressure and temperature was observed to improve the reliability of the analysis of underground water flow. Also, the mechanical and thermal properties of domestic crystalline rocks in a great depth were obtained. It was found that the averaged intial aperture ranged from 544.33${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 898.62${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and it followed a log-normal distribution. The hydraulic conductivity decreased with the increase of normal stress on the fracture surface and the hydraulic conductivity decreased as temperature increased. The change in hydraulic conductivity was strongly correlated with the change in contact area. It was verified by experiments that hydraulic conductivity was inversely proportional to the contact area. The measured mechanical and thermal properties were very close to the existing typical properties of domestic granites.

An underground research tunnel, KURT, was constructed at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, for various in situ validation experiments related to the development of a high-level radioactive waste disposal system. KURT, which has length of 255 m (access tunnel 180 m and research modules 75 m) and size of $6m{\times}6m$ was excavated in a cryatalline rock mass. In the KURT project, different rock mechanics studies had been carried out during the concept design, site characterization, detailed design, and construction stages. From the geophysical survey, borehole investigation, and rock property tests in laboratory and in situ, the rock and rock mass properties required for the mechanicsl stability analysis of KURT could be achieved and used for the input parameters of computer simulations. In this paper, important results from the rock mechanics studies at KURT and the three-dimensional mechanical stability analysis will be introduced.

In order to evaluate the physical properties of rock which might serve as a database for both mining and civil works, a lot of laboratory tests for Jecheon limestones were conducted to find unit weight, absorption ratio, porosity, elastic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, poisson's ratio, tensile strength, shore hardness, friction angle and cohesion. On investigation of the mechanical properties of both the gray limestone and the clayey limestone distributed in the studied region, the clayey limestone turned out to have more weak mechanical properties which might come from low unit weight, high absorption ratio and high porosity of rocks. The failure criteria of Jecheon limestones were discussed by means of both Mohr-Coulomb criterion and Hoek-Brown criterion. Regression analyses of the physical properties obtained from a lot of laboratory tests were also conducted by means of both linear and multiple regression analyses.

In this study, a multiscale method for solving a thermoelasticity problem for interphase in the polymeric nanocomposites is developed. Molecular dynamics simulation and finite element analysis were numerically combined to describe the geometrical boundaries and the local mechanical response of the interfacial region where the polymer networks were highly interacted with the nanoparticle surface. Also, the micrmechanical thermoelasticity equations were applied to the obtained equivalent continuum unit to compute the growth of interphase thickness according to the size of nanoparticles, as well as the thermal phase transition behavior at a wide range of temperatures. Accordingly, the equivalent continuum model obtained from the multiscale analysis provides a meaningful description of the thermoelastic behavior of interphase as well as its nanoparticle size effect on thermoelasticity at both below and above the glass transition temperature.

Characteristics of thermophysical properties and flow structures in a swirl injector at supercritical pressure have been investigated using the kerosene surrogate consisting of four species and various ideal and real gas equations of state. The quantitative comparisons of thermophysical properties for equations of state have been performed. Also, a large eddy simulation and preconditioning technique for getting an effective convergence rate are applied to analyze turbulent flow in a swirl injector. The flow characteristics in the injector has significantly different behaviors depending on the equations of state due to the different thermophysical properties in the injector. The Redlich-Kwong-Peng-Robinson equation of state provides the most suitable results in the wide range of temperature.
