In the present contribution an interface crack model is introduced which is capable of modelling crack initialisation and growth in aluminium as well as in Fibre Metal Laminates. Interface elements are inserted in a finite element mesh with a yield function which bounds all states of stress in the interface. Hardening occurs after a state of stress exceeds the yield stress of the material. The hardening branch is bounded by the ultimate stress of the material. Thereafter, the state of stress is reduced to zero while the inelastic deformations grow. The energy dissipated by the inelastic deformations in this process equals the fracture energy of the material. The model is applied to calculate the onset and growth of cracking in centre cracked plates made of aluminium and GLARE$^{(R)}$. The impact of the model parameters on the performance of the crack model is studied by comparisons of the numerical results with experimental data.

콘크리트의 파괴진행영역은 콘크리트의 균열선단의 브리징영역과 미세균열영역으로 구성되는 비선형영역으로서 콘크리트의 파기거동을 지배한다. 파괴진행영역을 고려한 파괴역학은 콘크리트에 유용하게 적용될 수 있으며 파괴진행영역 모델의 개발은 콘크리트의 파괴현상을 규명하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트의 균열진행을 해석하기 위하여 선형 인장 연화곡선을 사용한 Dugdale-Barenblatt형 모델로 콘크리트의 브리징영역을 모델링하였고 이를 이산균열방법을 사용하여 단지 요소경계면에 파괴진행영역을 발생시켜 유한요소 해석하는 방법과 요소내의 불연속 균열면을 도입한 균열요소를 사용함으로써 이산균열방법의 결점을 보완한 해석방법을 제시하였다. 또한 해석 예를 통해 균열진행해석에 사용된 유한요소모델을 검증하였다.

The rotating Rayleigh-Timoshenko beam element based on B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI) is constructed to discrete short shaft and stiffness disc. The crack is represented by non-dimensional linear spring using linear fracture mechanics theory. The wavelet-based finite element model of rotor system is constructed to solve the first three natural frequencies functions of normalized crack location and depth. The normalized crack location, normalized crack depth and the first three natural frequencies are then employed as the training samples to achieve the neural networks for crack diagnosis. Measured natural frequencies are served as inputs of the trained neural networks and the normalized crack location and depth can be identified. The experimental results of fatigue crack in short shaft is also given.

시멘트계 기질을 사용하는 복합재료는 재료 양생 과정에서 발생하는 건조수축 균열에 취약하다. 본 연구에서는 파이버 보강 콘크리트의 건조수축에 의한 파괴 거동을 시뮬레이션 하고, 파이버의 조건이 균열 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석한다. 수치 해석 모델은 무작위 격자 형태의 기하학적 구조를 공유하는 관로 요소와 rigid-body-spring 요소로 구성되는데, 각 요소가 담당하는 비역학적-역학적 거동의 커플링에 의해 건조수축이 표현된다. 파이버 보강을 모델링하기 위해 rigid-bodyspring network 내부의 semi-discrete 파이버 요소를 적용하였다. KS F 2424 자유 건조수축 실험을 해석하고 시간에 따른 건조수축 변형률 변화를 비교함으로써 재료의 건조수축 관련 계수들을 산정한다. 다음으로 여러 파이버 혼입률에 대해 KS F 2595 구속 건조수축 실험을 시뮬레이션 하고 균열 발생 일자를 선행 실험 결과와 비교하여 해석 모델의 타당성을 검증한다. 또한, 파이버의 길이와 표면 형태를 변화시켜 건조수축 균열 해석을 수행하고 최대 균열 폭을 측정하여 시뮬레이션에서 나타나는 균열 제어 효과를 판단한다.

Crack detection method of a rotating blade was suggested in this paper. A rotating blade was modeled with a cantilever beam connected to a hub undergoing rotating motion. The existence and the location of crack were able to be recognized from the vertical response of end tip of a rotating cantilever beam by employing Discrete Hidden Markov Model (DHMM) and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). DHMM is a famous stochastic method in the field of speech recognition. However, in recent researches, it has been proved that DHMM can also be used in machine health monitoring. EMD is the method suggested by Huang et al. that decompose a random signal into several mono component signals. EMD was used in this paper as the process of extraction of feature vectors which is the important process to developing DHMM. It was found that developed DHMMs for crack detection of a rotating blade have shown good crack detection ability.

This paper contains the results of the study on the development of fracture and crack propagation in quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete or rocks, using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). A new discrete element numerical model is proposed as the basis for analyzing the inelastic evolution and growth of cracks up to the point of gross material failure. The model is expected to predict the fracture behavior for the quasi-brittle material structure using the elementary aggregate level, the interaction between aggregate materials, and bond cementation. The algorithms generate normal and shear forces between two interfacing blocks and contains two kinds of contact logic, one for connected blocks and the other one for blocks that are not directly connected. The Mohr-Coulomb theory has been used for the fracture limit. In this algorithm the particles are moving based on the connected block logic until the forces increase up to the fracture limit. After passing the limit, the particles are governed by the discrete block logic. In setting up a discrete polygon element model, two dimensional polygons are used to investigate the response of an assembly of different shapes, sizes, and orientations with blocks subjected to simple applied loads. Several examples involving assemblies of particles are presented to show the behavior of the fracture and the failure process.

본 논문에서는 직교이방성 적층평판에서의 균열생성 및 전파로 이루어진 층간분리해석을 다룬다. 기존의 p-유한요소가 가지고 있는 요소의 강건성을 균열진전해석에 적용하여, 균열진전시 모델링을 재구성하지 않고, 균열 선단부에 해당되는 꼭지점 모드의 위치만을 이동하도록 하여, 요소망을 단순화시켰다. 이와 같은 층간분리해석에 대해서 이 논문에서의 주요 목적은 다음 두 가지이다. 첫째, 적층복합 재료의 층간분리해석 시, 일반적인 유한요소 모델과 비교하여 매우 간단한 요소망을 가지는 모델을 제안하는 것이다. 모델의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 적층 복합재료로 구성된 이중 외팔보 해석을 통하여, 기존 참고문헌 값과의 비교를 수행하였다. 둘째, 제안된 모델을 내부균열을 갖는 적층평판의 층간분리해석에 적용하여 여러 가지 거동 양상에 대한 평가이다. 이와 같은 목적을 수행하기 위하여 로바토 형상함수를 이용한 완전층별요소가 고려되었으며, 선형탄성파괴역학에 기초한 3차원 가상균열닫힘법을 이용하여 에너지 방출률을 산정하였다.

The mechanical damage of concrete is normally attributed to the formation of microcracks and their propagation and coalescence into macroscopic cracks. This physical degradation is caused from progressive and hierarchical damage of the microstructure due to debonding and slip along bimaterial interfaces at the mesoscale. Their growth and coalescence leads to initiation of hairline discrete cracks at the mesoscale. Eventually, single or multiple major discrete cracks develop at the macroscale. In this paper, from this conceptual model of mechanical damage in concrete, the computational efforts were made in order to characterize physical cracks and how to quantify the damage of concrete materials within the laws of thermodynamics with the aid of interface element in traditional finite element methodology. One dimensional effective traction/jump constitutive interface law is introduced in order to accommodate the normal opening and tangential slips on the interfaces between different materials(adhesion) or similar materials(cohesion) in two and three dimensional problems. Mode I failure and mixed mode failure of various geometries and boundary conditions are discussed in the sense of crack propagation and their spent of fracture energy under monotonic displacement control.

Two physical experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of beam-particle model for simulating the progressive failure of particulate composites such as sandstone and concrete. In the numerical model, the material is schematized at the meso-level as an assembly of discrete, interacting particles which are linked through a network of brittle breaking beams. The uniaxial compressive tests of cubic and parallelepipedal specimens made of carbon steel rod assembly which are glued together by a mixture are represented. The crack patterns and load-displacement response observed in the experiments are in good agreement with the numerical results. In the application respect of beam-particle model to the particulate composites, the influence of defects, particle arrangement and boundary conditions on crack propagation is approached, and the correlation existing between the cracking evolution and the level of loads imposed on the specimen is characterized by fractal dimensions.
