The energy release rates for a dynamically growing crack in orthotropic materials are expressed explicitly in terms of dynamic stress intensity factors. The stress functions suitable for the problem are found and the evaluation of the J-integral for the theoretical singular crack tip fields yields energy release rates. The present results are simpler than the existing ones and can be reduced to the well known solutions in special cases. Examples of extracting stress intensity factors from the finite element solution using the present results are given for the dynamically growing crack problem of orthotropic materials.

The relationship between the tritium release rate from the nuclear power plant and tritium concentration in the environment around the Kori site was modeled. The tritium concentration in the atmosphere was calculated by multiplying the release rates and $\chi$/Q values, and the d3V deposition rate at each sector according to the direction and the distance was obtained using a dry deposition velocity. The area around Kori site was divided into 6 zones according to the deposition rate. The six zones were divided into 14 compartments for the numerical simulation. Transfer coefficients between the compartments were derived using site characterization data. Source terms were calculated from the dry deposition rates. Tritium concentration in surface soil water and groundwater was calculated based upon a compartment model. The semi-analytical solution of the compartment model was obtained with a computer program, AMBER. The results showed that most of tritium deposited onto the land released into the atmosphere and the sea. Also, the estimated concentration in the top soil agreed well to that measured. Using the model, tritium concentration was predicted in the case that the tritium release rates were doubled.

호수 퇴적물의 용출로 인한 수질오염을 예측하고 퇴적 위치에 따른 용출 특성을 파악하기 위해 환경 조건에 따른 용출 차이를 분석하였다. 분석 항목으로는 질소계열, 인계열, COD를 분석하였으며, 모든 시료의 분석 방법은 호수 내부수의 염도가$(Cl^-)$ 2,000 ppm 이상이므로 해수 수질공정 시험법에 준하여 실시하였다. COD는 혐기조일 경우 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가한 반면, 호기조일 경우 증 감의 경향성이 없었다. $NH_3$-N의 호기조일 경우 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 감소하였고, 반대로 질산화 작용으로 인해 $NO_3$-N과 T-N은 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가하였다. $NH_3$-N, $NO_3$-N의 혐기조는 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가하였으나 탈질화 작용으로 인하여 T-N의 용출율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $PO_4$-P, T-P의 경우 호기조에서 B지점의 용출율이 가장 낮았으며, 이는 용존 산소의 함량이 많아 무기물이 산화되면서 인의 용출이 억제된 것으로 판단된다. $PO_4$-P의 혐기조일 경우 A지점부터 C지점의 용출율이 서로 유사하였다. COD와 $NO_3$-N의 경우 혐기조보다 호기조에서 용출율이 높았으며, 그 외의 항목에서는 호기조보다 혐기조에서 용출율이 높았다.

Since delamination often propagates at the interfacial layer between a surface skin and a foam core, a crack arrester is proposed for the suppression of the delamination. The arrester has a semi-cylindrical shape and is arranged in the foam core and is attached to the surface skin. Here, energy release rates and complex stress intensity factors are calculated using finite element analysis. Effects of the arrester size and its elastic moduli on the crack suppressing capability are investigated. Considerable reductions of the energy release rates at the crack tip are achieved as the crack tip approached the leading edge of the crack arrester. Thus, this new concept of a crack arrester may become a promising device to suppress crack initiation and propagation of the foam core sandwich panels.

The metis element method (Hung 1978) has been applied to analyse free edge interlaminar stresses and delamination in composite laminates, which are subjected to extension and bending. The paper recalls Lekhnitskii's solution for generalized plane strain state of composite laminate and Wang's singular solution for determination of stress singularity order and of eigen coefficients $C_m$ for delamination problem. Then the formulae of metis displacement finite element in two-dimensional problem are established. Computation of the stress intensity factors and the energy release rates are presented in details. The energy release rate, G, is computed by Irwin's virtual crack technique using metis elements. Finally, results of interlaminar stresses, the three stress intensity factors and the energy release rates for delamination crack in composite laminates under extension and bending are illustrated and compared with the literature to demonstrate the efficiency of the present method.

It was shown in the previous study that the numerically derived elastic work factor for CLS specimen was independent of fiber direction for a unidirectional case. Also, it was proposed the elastic work factor could be used to determine energy release rate from a single test record. In the present study, elastic work factor was derived from a simple beam theory to investigate its dependence on material property and geometric condition. Also, the elastic work factor of CLS specimen was applied experimentally to determine critical energy release rate in order to prove its validity determining critical energy release rate from a single specimen. For this purpose, critical energy release rate determined using the elastic work factor was compared with that determined by the compliance method. The results showed that while elastic work factor is affected by $t_2/t_1$ and $L_2/L_1$ it is independent of fiber angle for a unidirectional case. It was also found that critical energy release rates determined by both methods are comparable each other, thus elastic work factor approach can be used to determine energy release rate from a single test specimen.

The release rates of methotrexate (MTX) from MTX-human serum albumin (HSA) conjugate, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from 5-FU acetic acid (AA)-HSA conjugate were determined after incubation of the conjugates in various conditions. The concentrations of 5-FU released from the conjugate increased monoexponentially, however those of MTX increased biexponentially in all studies. It indicated that there are two distinct types of MTX-HSA linkage, weakly and tightly bound linkages. The release rates of 5-FU were lower than those of MTX in all studies indicating that the bond of 5-FU-AA-HSA conjugate is very stable, which is supported by the higher value of activation energy (39. 9 vs 10. 7 Kcal/mole) using Arrhenius equation. The release rates of MTX and 5 -FU from the conjugates increased with incubation temperatures. Proteolytic enzyme and liver homogenates accelerated significantly the release rates of MTX and 5-FU. Approximately 1.30 and 22.0% of MTX were released after 12 hours of incubation in the absence and presence of protease, respectively. The corresponding values for 5-FU were released after 12 hours of incubation with rat liver homogenates which were diluted 6 times with phosphate buffer of pH 6.0. The MTX-HSA and 5-FU-AA-HSA conjugates were very stable in rat plasma.

Any pre-existed delamination defect present during manufacturing or induce during service loading conditions in the wingskin adherend invariably shows a greater loss of structural integrity of the spar wingskin joint (SWJ). In the present study, inter-laminar delamination propagation at the critical location of the SWJ has been carried out using contact and multi-point constraint finite elements available with commercial FE software (ANSYS APDL). Strain energy release rates (SERR) based on virtual crack closure technique have been computed for evaluation of the opening (Mode-I), sliding (Mode-II) and cross sliding (Mode-III) modes of delamination by sequential release of multi point constraint elements. The variations of different modes of SERR are observed to be significant by considering varied delamination lengths, material properties of adherends and radius of curvature of the SWJ panel. The SERR rates are seen to be much different at the two pre-embedded delamination ends. This shows dissimilar delamination propagation rates. The maximum is seen to occur in the delamination front in the unstiffened region of the wingskin. The curvature geometry and material anisotropy of SWJ adherends significantly influences the SERR values. Increase in the SERR values are observed with decrease in the radius of curvature of wingskin panel, keeping its width unchanged. SWJs made with flat FRP composite adherends have superior resistance to delamination damage propagation than curved composite laminated SWJ panels. SWJ made with Boron/Epoxy (B/E) material shows greater resistance to the delamination propagation.

Recently, the composite material market is gradually growing. Various composite forming processes have been developed in order to reduce the production cost of the composite material. Unlike the conventional forming process, the microwave composite forming process has the advantage of reducing the processing time because the composite material is heated directly or indirectly at the same time. Due to this advantage, in this study, a double cantilever beam test was conducted with specimens manufactured by the microwave composite forming process. The purpose of this study was to compare mode-I energy release rate for specimens manufactured by prepreg compression forming and microwave composite forming processes. First, a microwave oven was proposed to conduct the microwave composite forming process. Double cantilever beam specimens were manufactured. After that, the double cantilever beam test was conducted to obtain the mode-I energy release rate. Mode-I energy release rates of specimens manufactured by the microwave composite forming and prepreg compression forming processes were then compared. As a result, mode-I energy release rates of specimens fabricated by the microwave composite forming process were similar to those fabricated with the prepreg compression forming process with a relatively reduced process time.
