A study concerning the strength of brittle materials is presented in this paper. The failure behavior was investigated examining the plane of the crack after the failure and comparing the results obtained with those deriving from the fracture mechanics theory. Although the proposed methods are valid in general for brittle materials, the experiment was performed on glass because the results are more significant for this. Glass elements of various sizes and different edge finishes were subjected to bending tests until collapsing. The bending results were studied in terms of failure load and energy dissipation, and the fracture surfaces were examined by means of microscopic analysis, in which the depth of the flaw and the mirror radius of the fracture were measured and the strength was calculated. These results agreed with those obtained from the fracture mechanics analysis.

대전지역 중생대 화강암 암반을 대상으로 경험적 해석과 수치해석 모델링을 사용하여 심도에 따른 취성파괴 예측 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 손상제어시험 등의 실내시험으로 경험적 해석과 수치해석 모델링에 필요한 입력 변수를 측정하였고, 측정결과를 바탕으로 연구지역의 암반을 경암에 속하는 그룹 A와 극경암에 속하는 그룹 B로 구분하여 각 그룹별 대표 물성치를 사용하였다. 취성파괴의 해석에는 해석구간의 심도와 측압계수(k)로 결정되는 원위치응력 값이 필요하나 연구지역의 원위치응력 값은 측정되지 않았다. 그러므로 다양한 원위치응력 상태를 고려하기 위하여 3가지의 측압계수 (k=1,2,3)를 분석에 적용하였다. 경험적 해석과 수치해석 모델링에서 측압계수가 1일 경우, 연구지역의 암반에서는 1000 m의 심도까지도 취성파괴가 발생할 가능성이 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 측압계수가 2일 경우에는 심도 800 m 구간에서부터, 측압계수가 3일 경우에는 심도 600 m 구간에서부터 취성파괴가 발생될 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구에서는 점착력약화-마찰각강화(CWFS) 모델과 Mohr-Coulomb 모델이 사용되었으며, CWFS 모델은 암반의 취성 파괴영역의 범위와 깊이를 잘 모사하였으나 모아-쿨롱 모델은 이러한 변화를 구현하지 못하였다.

The failure mechanism of a deep hard rock tunnel under high geostress and high geothermalactivity is extremely complex. Uniaxial compression tests of granite at different temperatures were conducted. The complete stress-strain curves, mechanical parameters and macroscopic failure types of the rock were analyzed in detail. The brittleness index, which represents the possibility of a severe brittleness hazard, is proposed in this paperby comparing the peak stress and the expansion stress. The results show that the temperature range from 20 to $60^{\circ}C$ is able to aggravate the brittle failure of hard rock based on the brittleness index. The closure of internal micro cracks by thermal stress can improve the strength of hard rock and the storage capacity of elastic strain energy. The failure mode ofthe samples changes from shear failure to tensile failure as the temperature increases. In conclusion, the brittle failure mechanism of hard rock under the action of thermal coupling is revealed, and the analysis result offers significant guidance for deep buried tunnels at high temperatures and under high geostress.

This paper presents the reliability estimation of door hinge for home appliances, which consists of bushing and shaft. The predominant failure mechanism of bushing made of polyoxymethylene(POM) is brittle fracture due to decrease of strength caused by voids existing, and that of shaft made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS) is creep due to plastic deformation caused by excessive temperature and lowering of glass transition temperature by absorbed moisture. Since the brittle fracture of bushing is overstress failure mechanism, the load-strength interference model is used to estimate the failure rate of it along with failure analysis. By the way, the creep of shaft is wearout failure mechanism, and an accelerated life test is then planned and implemented to estimate its lifetime. Through the technical review about failure mechanism, temperature and humidity are selected as accelerating variables. Assuming Weibull lifetime distribution and Eyring model, the life-stress relationship and acceleration factor, $B_{10}$ life and its lower bound with $90\%$ confidence at worst case use condition are estimated by analyzing the accelerated life test data.

It is well accepted that rock failure mechanism influence the cutting efficiency and determination of optimum cutting parameters. In this paper, an attempt was made to research the factors that affect the failure mechanism based on discrete element method (DEM). The influences of cutting depth, hydrostatic pressure, cutting velocity, back rake angle and joint set on failure mechanism in rock-cutting are researched by PFC2D. The results show that: the ductile failure occurs at shallow cutting depths, the brittle failure occurs as the depth of cut increases beyond a threshold value. The mean cutting forces have a linear related to the cutting depth if the cutting action is dominated by the ductile mode, however, the mean cutting forces are deviate from the linear relationship while the cutting action is dominated by the brittle mode. The failure mechanism changes from brittle mode with larger chips under atmospheric conditions, to ductile mode with crushed chips under hydrostatic conditions. As the cutting velocity increases, a grow number of micro-cracks are initiated around the cutter and the volume of the chipped fragmentation is decreasing correspondingly. The crack initiates and propagates parallel to the free surface with a smaller rake angle, but with the rake angle increases, the direction of crack initiation and propagation is changed to towards the intact rock. The existence of joint set have significant influence on crack initiation and propagation, it makes the crack prone to propagate along the joint.

상대적으로 저심도에 건설되는 암반구조물의 경우 단층이나 절리 등 암반 내 존재하는 불연속면이 굴착 후 생성된 경계면과의 교차에 의해 구조적인 형태의 파괴가 지배적으로 발생하나, 고심도에 건설되는 경우 높은 현지응력과 굴착에 따른 유도응력으로 인해 공동 경계면에서 스폴링이나 슬래빙과 같은 취성파괴가 발생할 수 있다. 취성파괴는 암반구조물의 안정성을 약화시키는 주된 원인으로, 고심도 영역에서 암반구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 응력조건에 따라 발생하는 취성파괴의 개시시점, 파괴수준 및 파괴범위 등과 같은 파괴특성이 규명되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고심도의 암반구조물에서 발생할 수 있는 취성파괴의 파괴수준 및 개시시점과 재하응력사이의 관계를 정량적으로 평가하고자 진삼축 응력조건을 구현할 수 있는 모형실험장치를 설계, 제작하여 여러 응력조건에서 모형실험을 수행하였다. 공동주변에서 발생한 파괴수준을 육안관찰과 미소파괴음 발생양상에 의해 3단계로 구분하고, 진삼축 응력조건에 따라 제시하였다. 그 결과 파괴수준은 공동단면에 작용하는 재하응력$(S_v,\;S_{H2})$ 뿐 아니라 공동 축에 평행한 재하응력 $S_{H1}$에 영향을 받으며, $S_{H1}$와 $S_{H2}$의 크기가 증가할수록 동일한 $S_v$에서 파괴수준은 감소하였다. 파괴개시점 역시 $S_{H1}$와 $S_{H2}$의 증가에 따라 파괴개시를 위한 응력수준은 증가하였으며, 다중회귀분석을 통해 파괴개시시점과 진삼축 응력조건의 관계식을 도출하였다.

큰 초기응력을 받는 암반에서의 파괴 과정은 굴착경계에 평행하게 발생하는 응력 유도 균열에 의해 지배된다. 특히 지압의 절대크기가 암반 강도의 일정 비율 이상이 되면 응력 집중에 의한 암반의 취성 파괴를 유발하고, 이러한 현상은 터널 굴착 시 발생하는 파괴음과, 굴착면에 평행한 형태로 암편이 탈락하는 취성파괴 현상을 동반한다. Mohr-Coulomb과 같은 기존의 구성 모델은 일반적으로 마찰각과 점착력을 일정한 값으로 가정하므로, 점진적인 암반의 취성파괴 현상을 모사하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 수치해석 코드에서 취성파괴를 잘 모의할 수 있는 것으로 알려진 CW-FS 모델을 사용하여 유류 저장공동 주변 암반에 대한 수치해석을 실시하고, 그 결과를 선형 Mohr-Coulomb 모델의 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 마찰각과 점착력 성분의 전단 소성변형률 한계를 변화시키면서 해석을 실시하여, 유류 저장공동에서 관찰된 취성파괴와 비슷한 양상을 보이는 해석 결과를 찾아보았다. 결과적으로 CW-FS 모델은 견고한 암반에서의 취성파괴를 모의하는데 있어 적절한 해석방법이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

When the weight if a concrete member makes problems, or when the cost of the concrete is relatively high, it may be economical to use a hollow concrete member. But a hollow R.C Pier may have poor ductility because of the brittle failure at the inner face of the hollow R.C Pier. This brittle failure results from the absence of the confinement at the inner face of the hollow R.C Pier. To avoid this brittle failure an internally confined hollow R.C Pier was developed. Test results show that the energy ductility ratio of a internally confined hollow R.C Pier have a superior energy ductility ratio to a general hollow R.C Pier.

When the weight if a concrete member makes problems, or when the cost of the concrete is relatively high, it may be economical to use a hollow concrete member. But a hollow R.C column may have poor ductility because of the brittle failure at the inner face of the hollow R.C column. This brittle failure results from the absence of the confinement at the inner face of the hollow R.C column. To avoid this brittle failure an internally confined hollow R.C column by a steel tube was developed before. In this study, a hollow R.C column is internally confined by a corrugated steel tube instead of a general flat steel tube. And a column ductility is performed. Test results show that the energy ductility ratio of a internally confined hollow R.C column by a by a corrugated steel tube corresponds to $80\%$ of the energy ductility ratio of a general solid R.C column.
