Use of concrete has undoubtedly become widespread in construction. Sensors are used to add functional characteristics to concrete. Self-diagnosing, smart concrete is also being developed. Development of these functional materials and structures will play an important role in protecting buildings and structures against external factors brought about by unusual weather among others. In this study, the innovative measurement system is presented where material damages and internal stress can simply be detected against the compressive and bending force of the structure using light-emitting diode and the resistance property of electric fuse.

Paleostress was interpreted by analyzing the healed microcracks and the secondary fluid inclusions in quartz of the Jurassic granites distributed in the southwestern Ogcheon Folded Belt, South Korea. The most dominant direction of healed microcracks in the study area was oriented $N30^{\circ}W$, and $N70^{\circ}W$ direction was also recognized. The formation temperatures of fluid inclusions were ranged $380-550^{\circ}C$ and the age of healed microcrack formations might have been approximately 166-200 Ma. Comparing the paleostress orientation obtained from the direction of healed microcracks to the formation age of healed microcracks estimated from the secondary fluid inclusions, it is considered that granitic rock body in study area was subject to a maximum horizontal principal stress along the NNW-SSE and WNW-ESE directions in the early Jurassic to middle Jurassic.

The fatigue crack growth model is derived and the retardation model is proposed. The fatigue crack growth model considers the residual plastic stretch on the crack surface which results from the plastic deformation at the tip of fatigue crack. The fatigue crack growth rate is calculated by using the cumulative fatigue damage and plastic strain energy in the material elements at the crack tip. This model gives the crack growth rate in reasonable agreement with test data for aluminum alloy AL6061-T651 and 17-4PH casting steel. The fatigue crack growth retardation model is based on the residual plastic stretch produced from a tensile overload which reduced the plastic strain range of the following load cycles. A strip-yield model of a crack tip plasticity is used for the calculation of a plastic zone size. The proposed retardation model characterized the observed features and delayed retardation of the fatigue crack growth under tensile overload.

In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out at stress test levels of 461 MPa, 441 MPa, and 431 MPa by using smooth specimen of$2_{1/4}$ Cr-1 Mo steel with the stress ratio(R) of 0.05. The initiation, growth and coalescense process of the major cracks and sub-cracks among the fatigue cracks on the smooth specimen are investigated and measured under each stress level at a constant cycle ratio by the replica technique with optical microscope. Some of the important results are as follows: In spite of the difference of stress levels, the major crack data gather into a small band in the curve of surface crack length and crack depth against cycle ratio N/Nf. The sub-crack data, however, deviate from the band of the major crack. The growth rates, da/dN, of major and sub-crack plotted against the stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$, have the tendency to be compressed on a relatively small band. But it is more effective to predict fatigue life through major cracks. The propagation behavior of surface microcracks on the smooth specimens coincides with that of the specimen having an artificial small surface defect or through crack.

Rock fracturing technique through fluid injection into the wellbore has been widely used to extract geothermal heat and to enhance oil and gas production. Single fracture formation is ideal for the production. However, it is very difficult to form single fracture formation. Instead, the formation of segmented fracture is a common phenomenon. Therefore, design parameters are expected to be different from those of single fracture because of mechanical interaction between segmented fractures. In this paper, design parameters such as length, aperture, and net pressure are evaluated by using model of segmented fracture in which numerical technique is incorporated to consider mechanical interaction between segments. Results show that the existence of fracture segmentation affects design parameters in fracturing treatment in rock by fluid injection.

건물 외벽에 발생하는 균열은 시설물 구조 안전에 영향을 미치며 그 크기에 따라 위험도가 달라진다. 이에 따라 전문검사관의 현장 점검을 통해 발생 균열 두께를 정밀하게 측정할 필요가 있고 최근에는 이러한 현장 안전점검에 인공지능을 도입하려는 추세다. 그러나 기존의 균열 데이터셋은 주로 콘크리트에만 한정되어 다양한 외벽에 강인한 모델을 구축하기 어렵고 균열 두께를 측정하기 위해 정확한 마스크(Mask) 정보가 필요하나 이를 만족하는 데이터셋이 부재하다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 외벽에 강인한 균열 구획화 모델을 목적으로 2,744장의 이미지를 촬영하고 매직 완드 기법으로 라벨링을 진행해 데이터셋을 구축 후, 이를 바탕으로 딥러닝 기반 균열 구획화 모델을 개발했다. UNet-ResNet50을 최종모델로 선정 및 개발 결과, 테스트 데이터셋에 대해 81.22%의 class IoU 성능을 보였다. 본 연구의 기술을 바탕으로 균열 두께를 측정하여 건축물 안전점검에 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

기계구조물내의 균열은 고하중상태에서 갑작스러운 파괴의 주요 원인의 하나로서 이러한 균열의 조기탐지를 위해 기존의 비파괴검사 방법 이외에, 최근 진동측정 및 진동분석을 이용하는 방법이 경제성 및 그 효용성으로 인하여 깊게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 진동특성의 변화를 이용하여 균열을 탐지하는 방법이 많은 학자들에 의해 연구되어졌으며, 현재까지의 연구결과중 균열의 크기 및 위치를 동시에 탐지할 수 있는 방법중에서 비교적 단순, 정확하다고 판단되는 방법으로는 임의의 두 지점에서의 진폭측정을 이용한 Rizos(1)의 방법과 고유진동수 및 모우드형 측정을 이용한 Kam & Lee(2)의 방법이 있으나 이들 방법은 두가지 이상의 진동특성치를 요구하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 진동특성치중 고유진동수만을 이용하여 단순부재에서 균열의 크기 및 위치를 수치적으로 예측할 수 있는 새로운 해석기법을 제시하고, 기존 방법 사용시의 결과와 비교 검토하여 그 유용성을 판단하는데 있다.

The experimental and numerical investigations on the failure characteristics of the secondary bonded composite single-lap joints were performed. The initiations and growths of cracks were observed using CCD camera and acoustic emission sensor during the tension tests of the joint specimens. The structural behaviors of the specimens were predicted by the geometric nonlinear two-dimensional finite element analysis. The three types of observed initial cracks were included in each finite element models and the strain energy release rates of each specimen models were calculated by VCCT(Virtual Crack Closure Technique) technique. The tension tests showed that the initial cracks occurred in the 60∼90% of final failure loads and the major failure modes of the specimens were adhesive failure and the delamination between the 1st and 2nd ply of laminate. The specimens with the thicker bondline had earlier crack initiation loads but higher crack propagation resistance and eventually better loading capability. The delaminations were mostly observed in the thicker bondline specimens. The mode I values of calculated strain energy release rates were higher than the mode II values in the all specimen models considering the three types of initial cracks. The mode I and total strain energy release rates were calculated as higher values in the order of initial crack in the edge interface, comer interface and delamination between the plies of laminate.

Various methods have been used to reinforce the cementitious material such as mortar and concrete that have weak tensile strength. Major reinforcing method is to mix matrix with fibers which have strong tensile strength. Recently, micro-fiber reinforced mortar has been studied which removes coarse aggregate and uses micro-fiber with small diameter in order to homogenize the matrix properties and maximize the performance of fiber. Performance of micro-fiber reinforced mortar showing multiple cracking behavior is hardly represented only by the flexural toughness. Therefore, This paper reports the cracking behavior as well as mechanical behavior for various mixtures which have different fiber type and mixture proportions to find the proper parameter representing the cracking characteristic. Correlations between flexural toughness and various cracking characteristics such as cracking area, width and number are explored. As a result, it is found that flexural toughness, volume of fiber and number of cracks are suitable for representing the characteristics of micro-fiber reinforced mortar.
