A three dimensional rock joint element was developed considering fracture mechanics and subcritical crack growth to simulate non-linear behavior and the progressive failure of rock joints. Using this 3-D joint element, joint shear tests of rock discontinuities were simulated by a numerical method. The asperities on the joint surface began to fail at stress levels lower than the rock fracture toughness and continued progressively due to subcritical crack growth. As a result of progressive failing in each and every asperity, the joint showed non-linear stress-time behavior including stress hardening/softening and the reaching of a residual stress.

The fatigue crack growth behavior in GTA butt welded joints of Al-Alloy 5052-H38 was examined using Single Edge Notched(SEN) specimens. It is well known that welding residual stress has marked influence on fatigue crack growth rate in welded structure. In the general area of fatigue crack growth in the presence of residual stress, it is noted that the correction of stress intensity factor (K) to account for residual stress is important for the determination of both stress intensity factor range(.DELTA.K) and stress ratio(R) during a loading cycle. The crack growth rate(da/dN) in welded joints were correlated with the effective stress intensity factor range(.DELTA.Keff) which was estimated by superposition of the respective stress intensity factors for the residual stress field and for the applied stress. However, redistribution of residual stress occurs during crack growth and its effect is not negligible. In this study, fatigue crack growth characteristics of the welded joints were examined by using superposition of redistributed residual stress and discussed in comparison with the results of the initial welding residual stress superposition.

Recently, an improved EFG(Element-Free Galerkin) crack analysis technique, which includes a discontinuous approximation and a singular basis function on the auxiliary supports, was developed. The technique is able to accurately analyze the crack propagation problem without any modification of the analysis model; however, it shows some dependency on the analysis parameters used. In this study, the effect of analysis parameters such as the size of compact support, dilation parameter, the smoothness of shape function around the crack tip, and the number of node using auxiliary supports on the accuracy of solution has been investigated. Through a patch test with a crack, relative L₂ error norm of stresses and the stress intensity factor were computed and compared for various analysis parameters and the results were presented as guidelines for adequate choice of analysis parameters.

자연하천에 존재하는 식생은 동식물에게 주거지를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 영양염류 흡착 및 정화작용을 통해 수질을 개선시키는 역할을 한다. 이러한 식생하천에 오염물질이 유입될 경우 식생에 의한 흐름 교란 작용으로 인해 오염물의 확산거동에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 식생하천에서의 오염물질 혼합특성을 분석하기 위해 식생모형 실험을 수행하였고, Fischer et al (1979)이 제시한 이론식을 실험결과에 적용하여 종분산계수를 산정하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천을 재현하기 위해 실험수로에 수중식생 모형을 설치한 후 ADV-Vectrino유속계를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였으며 실험을 통해 식생흐름에서의 유속분포 자료를 취득하고 이를 바탕으로 종분산계수를 산정하였다. 먼저 수중 식생흐름에서 연직유속분포를 측정한 결과, 식생이 존재하는 바닥근처에서는 유속이 느리다가 비식생 구간으로 가면서 유속이 증가하는 분포를 나타낸다. 또한 이 설치된 테스트 구간에 밀도와 유량변화에 따른 케이스를 적용하여 비교 및 분석을 한 결과 식생 밀도를 고정시키고 유량을 증가 시켰을 때 식생구간과 식생이 없는 구간에서의 유속도 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 유량을 고정시키고 식생의 밀도를 순차적으로 높였을 경우 식생구간에서의 유속이 점차적으로 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 다음으로 분산계수를 결정하는 방법에는 농도자료를 이용하는 방법과 유속자료를 이용하는 방법이 있는데 본 연구에서는 유속자료를 Fischer et al. (1979)의 이론식에 적용하여 분산계수를 산정하는 방법을 적용하였다. Fischer et al. (1979)가 제시한 식에서 먼저 전단 유속 값을 산정하기 위해 벽법칙 (Karman, 1930), 레이놀즈 전단응력 그리고, 난류운동에너지 (Graf, 1998) 방법을 사용한 후 복잡한 난류 흐름에 적용하기 가장 적합하다는 난류운동에너지 방법을 적용하여 전단 응력이 가장 크게 나온 식생모델 끝단에서의 값을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 수중 식생이 존재하는 흐름에서 무차원화 시킨 종분산계수는 6.89-9.78로 나타났다, 이는 Elder (1959)의 수심 적분을 통해 제시한 종분산계수 값 5.93보다 크다. 즉, 수중 식생이 존재할 경우 종분산계수는 식생이 존재 하지 않을 때 보다 증가하는 것으로 보여 진다.

To develope shale play which is one of unconventional energy resources, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are necessary and those are applied to the place where the differential horizontal stress ratio (DHSR) is low. The differential horizontal stress ratio is generally calculated by the minimum and maximum horizontal stress, but it is also calculated from dynamic elastic constants and anisotropic parameters. In this study we analyzed anisotropic properties through the core samples from Danyang limestone and calculated DHSR. The three types of core samples shaped in three directions (vertical, parallel and 45 degree to bedding) were used for laboratory test. We measured P-, S-wave velocities, and density and then calculated dynamic elastic constants, compliance and DHSR. According to the results of the core sample analysis the calculated DHSR is 0.185. Thomsen parameters of the Danyang limestone used in this study are characterized by the P- and S-wave velocities varying along the bedding symmetry axis. It is observed that the DHSR value is more affected by the change in compliance value than the Poisson's ratio. It is necessary to measure SH-wave velocity for more correct petrophysical properties.

In this study, a structure satisfying the fatigue constraint is designed by applying the topology optimization based on the phase field design method. In order to predict life based on the stress value, high cycle fatigue failure theory in which stress acts within the range of elastic limit is discussed and three fatigue theories of modified-Goodman, Smith-Watson-Topper and Gerber theory are applied. To calculate the global maximum stress, a modified P-norm stress correction method is used. As a result, it is possible to obtain topology optimization results that minimize the volume while satisfying the fatigue constraints. By applying the phase field design method, a simple shape with a minimized gray scale was obtained, and the maximum stress value acting on the optimization result became very close to the allowable stress value due to the modified P-norm stress method. While previous studies does not consider the stress correction factor, this study proposes the determination method regarding the stress correction factor considering loading effects related to axial stress components.

We carried out geometrical, kinematic, and geomechanical analyses on a lineament (the Imgok fault) near Gangneung, observed in ASTER images and aerial photographs, and field surveys. Earthquake focal mechanism solutions, used to estimate the present-day stress state, revealed that the direction of maximum compression is approximately N$70^{\circ}$E and that the stress condition is in favor of either strike-slip or reverse movement on the fault. The strike of the fault is not ideal for slip under the present-day stress field and thus the fault has a low slip tendency. However, the fault may be able to slip if the frictional coefficient (${\mu}$), representing the resistance of the fault to slip, is sufficiently low (e.g., ${\mu}$ < 0.25).

The field measurements on the shotcrete lining are usually performed during the tunnel construction. However, the credibility of the measurements is not certain because of the non-stress related strains occurring in the shotcrete, the uncertainty of the deformation modulus of the shotcrete, and the intrinsic difficulties involved in the strain measurements in the shotcrete. The problem related to the field measurements on the shotcrete is investigated using the review of the previous studies and the field measurement performed for this study. A method for the correction of stress measurements at the shotcrete lining, considering the non-stress related strains, is suggested using the literature review and the actual measurements obtained from the non-stress shotcretes. The deformation modulus used for the calculation of the stress acting on the shotcrete is also suggested.

Flexural properties were investigated on clear specimens made from small diameter thinned trees of pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.), Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc), Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Carr.), and sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima Carr.). MOR and MOE values of small clear specimen were depended on the species. The highest density of sawtooth oak shows the highest values of MOR and MOE. However, the lowest density of Japanese larch shows the lowest values of MOR. It was also shown that flexural properties could be predicted by stress wave MOE, since the correlations between stress wave MOE and flexural properties were relatively good.

Numerous pavement response models rely on constitutive relationships to describe the response of granular materials. In this study, a nonlinear elastic constitutive model which is a function of bulk stress and octahedral shear stress is proposed to describe the resilient behavior of thick granular base courses under flexible airfield pavements. Special features of this model are its accuracy to predict the nonlinear resilient behavior, its simplicity to determine the material constants and its ability to model the secondary effect of decreasing the resilient modulus due to shear effects. In laboratory tests, the nonlinear resilient behavior of granular materials is investigated and values of resilient moduli are determined to provide data for verifying the proposed model. It is found that the resilient modulus is much more dependent on the states of stresses in terms of bulk stress and deviator stress than any other factors. Result of comparison shows that predicted values of resilient moduli are in good agreement with the measured values indicating that the proposed model is suitable to describe the nonlinear resilient behavior of the granular material with wide range of stress states which meet in airfield pavements.
