고속충돌 파괴현상에 대한 병렬계산기법을 다루었다. 특히 세라믹 재료는 다른 연성 금속 재료와 달리 강성이 크고 가볍기 때문에 충돌 방호 구조물로 활용이 되고 있다. 재료의 고속 관통 문제의 경우 매우 짧은 시간에 대변형이 일어나며, 세라믹 재료의 깨지는 특성 때문에 실험적으로 이를 분석하기 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 파괴현상을 수치적으로 모사하기 위해 절점분리기법을(node separation scheme) 적용하였다. 절점분리기법의 제약으로는 재료의 파괴가 발생함에 따라 새로운 절점이 생기게 되고, 이로 인해 지속적으로 계산 시간이 늘어난다는 사실이다. 해석 시간을 단축하기 위해 MPI(Message Passing Interface)를 이용한 병렬화를 수행하였다. 고속충돌 문제의 특이사항으로 시간에 따라 각각의 프로세서에 할당된 영역의 계산량이 비균일 해지며, 이로 인한 병렬 성능의 저하가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 방지하기 위해 동적영역할당기법을 적용하였다. 고속충돌 문제 해석을 통하여 적용된 기법의 정확성 및 병렬 성능에 대해 기술하였다.

The stability of deep coal roadways with large sections and thick top coal is a typical challenge in many coal mines in China. The innovative Universal Discrete Element Code (UDEC) trigon block is adopted to create a numerical model based on a case study at the Dongtan coal mine in China to better understand the failure mechanism and stability control mechanism of this kind of roadway. The failure process of an unsupported roadway is simulated, and the results suggest that the deformation of the roof is more serious than that of the sides and floor, especially in the center of the roof. The radial stress that is released is more intense than the tangential stress, while a large zone of relaxation appears around the roadway. The failure process begins from partial failure at roadway corners, and then propagates deeper into the roof and sides, finally resulting in large deformation in the roadway. A combined support system is proposed to support roadways based on an analysis of the simulation results. The numerical simulation and field monitoring suggest that the availability of this support method is feasible both in theory and practice, which can provide helpful references for research on the failure mechanisms and scientific support designing of engineering in deep coal mines.

본 연구에서는 3차원 이산 균열망 수치모형을 이용하여 균열망을 구성하는 균열요소의 길이분포가 유체 흐름 특성이 미치는 영향에 대해 수치적으로 분석하였다. 균열요소의 길이분포의 생성을 위해 절단멱분포법칙을 적용하였으며, 지수 ${\beta}_l$을 1.0에서부터 6.0까지 변화시키면서 유체 흐름 모의를 수행하였다. 모의결과 지수 ${\beta}_l$이 증가함에 따라 균열요소들의 길이분포는 점차적으로 작아지며, 이로 인해 균열망의 투수성에 영향을 미치는 균열요소들 간의 연결성은 취약해지는 것으로 나타났다. 각각의 지수 ${\beta}_l$에 대해 균열요소 각각에서 계산된 유량분포를 분석하였을 때 ${\beta}_l=1.0$에서의 평균유량이 ${\beta}_l=6.0$에 비해 약 447배 크게 산정되었으며, 균열망의 유출경계에서 계산된 유량의 경우 ${\beta}_l=1.0$일 때가 6.0에 비해 약 6,440배 크게 산정되었다.

This study, it was tried to evaluate the asphalt behavior under tensile loading conditions through indirect Brazilian and direct tensile tests, experimentally and numerically. This paper is important from two points of view. The first one, a new test method was developed for the determination of the direct tensile strength of asphalt and its difference was obtained from the indirect test method. The second one, the effects of particle size and loading rate have been cleared on the tensile fracture mechanism. The experimental direct tensile strength of the asphalt specimens was measured in the laboratory using the compression-to-tensile load converting (CTLC) device. Some special types of asphalt specimens were prepared in the form of slabs with a central hole. The CTLC device is then equipped with this specimen and placed in the universal testing machine. Then, the direct tensile strength of asphalt specimens with different sizes of ingredients can be measured at different loading rates in the laboratory. The particle flow code (PFC) was used to numerically simulate the direct tensile strength test of asphalt samples. This numerical modeling technique is based on the versatile discrete element method (DEM). Three different particle diameters were chosen and were tested under three different loading rates. The results show that when the loading rate was 0.016 mm/sec, two tensile cracks were initiated from the left and right of the hole and propagated perpendicular to the loading axis till coalescence to the model boundary. When the loading rate was 0.032 mm/sec, two tensile cracks were initiated from the left and right of the hole and propagated perpendicular to the loading axis. The branching occurs in these cracks. This shows that the crack propagation is under quasi-static conditions. When the loading rate was 0.064 mm/sec, mixed tensile and shear cracks were initiated below the loading walls and branching occurred in these cracks. This shows that the crack propagation is under dynamic conditions. The loading rate increases and the tensile strength increases. Because all defects mobilized under a low loading rate and this led to decreasing the tensile strength. The experimental results for the direct tensile strengths of asphalt specimens of different ingredients were in good accordance with their corresponding results approximated by DEM software.
