이 연구에서는 수압파쇄시험 결과의 해석에 대한 파괴역학모델의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 시험결과의 해석에 주로 이용되고 있는 탄성모델과 함게 파괴역학모델을 이론적으로 고찰하였으며, 국내에서 실시된 4개 현장의 측정결과를 이용하여 각 모델의 해석 결과를 비교·검토하였다. 파괴역학모델로부터 얻어진 해석 결과는 탄성모델에 의한 계산 값과 차이를 보였으며, 이러한 차이는 기존 균열의 길이가 작을수록 크게 나타났다. 파괴역학모델은 균열 길이의 판단이 가능한 경우와 같이 특수한 조건에 대해서만 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 암석의 인장강도는 파괴역학모델에 의한 값이 가장 크게 나타났으며, 압열인장시험, 탄성모델에 의한 값의 순서로 크게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 시험규모에 따른 크기효과 때문이며, 따라서 수압파쇄시험의 탄성모델로부터 얻어진 암석의 인장강도는 현지암반의 인장강도를 추정할 때 이용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Cracking at low temperatures is one of the frequently observed modes of failure in asphalt concretes. In this investigation, fracture tests were performed on cracked asphalt concrete subjected to pure mode I and pure mode II loading at different subzero temperatures. An improved semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen containing a vertical crack was used to conduct the experiments. The SCB specimens produced from the gyratory compacted cylindrical samples were compressively loaded, and critical stress intensity factors, $K_{If}$ and $K_{IIf}$, were then calculated using peak loads obtained from the tests. The experimental results showed that with decreasing the temperature, mode I and mode II critical stress intensity factors increased first but below a certain temperature they both decreased. It was also found that at a fixed temperature, the mode II fracture resistance of the asphalt concrete was higher than its mode I fracture resistance.

Presently welded components are designed using S/N curves which predict only the fatigue life of the component. In order to ascertain the condition of the weld at any intermediate period of its life inspection is carried out. If cracks are detected in a weld fracture mechanics is used to find their remaining life. A procedure for assessment is developed here that can be used to verify the condition of a weld before inspection is carried out to detect cracks. This simple method has been developed using linear fracture envelopes by combining S/N curves with linear elastic fracture mechanics.

The service demands of railway vehicles have become severe in recent years due to a general increase in operating speeds. It is very important to evaluate the fracture mechanics characteristics with respect to high-speed train wheel. In the present study, fracture mechanics characterization tests were carried out in accordance with various wheel materials. The result shows that fracture mechanics characteristic should be considered in the design code of the wheel materials.

The impact behavior of epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nano tube (CNT), carbon nano fiber (CNF) and mixed contents of these nanoparticles was investigated using Izod impact test. The results showed that while the impact strength of nanocomposites containing 1 wt% of CNT and 1 wt% of CNF increased 19% and 13% respectively, addition of mixed contents of these nanofillers (0.5-0.5 wt%) demonstrated higher improvement (21%) in the impact resistance. The trend of the results is explained on the basis of different fracture mechanisms of nanocomposites. Furthermore, the fracture surface of specimens and the dispersion state of nanoenhancers have been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs.

단층 그래핀 시트(Single layer graphene sheet, SLGS)의 찢어짐 모드(모드 III) 파괴 예측을 위한 원자 기반 미세결합요소모델이 개발되었다. 이 모델은 그래핀 시트의 최대 변형률 관계를 예측하기 위해 수정된 모스포텐셜을 사용한다. 면외 전단하중 조건에서 그래핀의 모드 III 파괴를 광범위한 분자역학(Molecular mechanics, MM) 시뮬레이션으로 조사하였다. 분자역학은 원자의 균열선단 근처 원자의 변위를 설명하기 위해 사용되었고, 선형탄성파괴역학은 이 영역 바깥의 영역을 설명하기 위해 사용되었다. 해석 결과 분자역학 방법이 SLGS의 전단 물성 계산뿐만 아니라 armchair 및 zigzag 방향 모드 III 파괴인성 연구에도 단순하면서도 신뢰할만하다는 것을 보여준다. SLGS 의 모드 III 파괴인성은 zigzag 방향에 대해 $0.86MPa{\sqrt{m}}$, armchair 방향에 대해 $0.93MPa{\sqrt{m}}$로 예측되었다.

콘크리트는 혼합물로서 비균질성, 이방성 및 비선형성 재료이기 때문에 그의 파괴해석에 있어서 재래의 강도 개념보다 파괴역학 개념을 적용하여 콘크리트의 파괴인성을 도입하여 평가하는 것이 보다 합리적이라 할 수 있다. 지금까지 콘크리트에 적용되어 온 파괴역학 개념은 두가지로 대별될 수 있는데 하나는 선형탄성파괴역학 개념이고 다른 하나는 비선형파괴역학 개념이다. 그러너 전자를 콘크리트에 적용하는데는 문제점과 불합리성이 지적되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 비선형파괴역학에서 많이 이용되어온 J-적분법과 COD법을 도입하여 굵은골재의 최대치수와 노치깊이의 변화가 콘크리트의 파괴거동, 파괴에너지 및 균열성장에 미치는 영향, 균열개구변위와 파괴에너지의 관계 등을 고찰하기 위하여 콘크리트 작사각형 보를 제작하여 3점 휨 파괴실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 굵은골재의 최대치수와 노치깊이가 증가할수록 하중-치 짐거동의 비선형성이 더욱 두드러졌고, 굵은골재 최대치수의 증가는 콘크리트의 연성을 증가시켜 보다 안정된 파괴를 유도하였으며, 균열전파경로는 굵은골재의 최대치수가 증가할수록 점점 더 직선에서 벗어나 불규칙적이었으나 노치깊이의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 또한 파괴에너지는 굵은골재의 최대치수가 증가하고 노치깊이가 감소할수록 증가하였으나, 균열개구변위는 노치깊이가 증가할수록 감소하였으며 굵은골재의 최대치수의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다.

The concrete fatigue analysis can be performed with the use of fracture mechanics. The fracture mechanics defines the fatigue crack propagation as the relationship of crack growth rate and stress intensity factor. In contrast to metal, the application of fracture mechanics to concrete is more complicated and therefore many authors have introduced empirical expressions using Paris law. The topic of this paper is development of a new prediction of fatigue crack propagation for concrete using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) and finite element method (FEM) in the frame of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The static and cyclic fatigue three-point bending tests on notched beams are considered. Verification of the proposed approach was performed on the test results taken from the literature. The comparison between the theoretical model and experimental results indicates that the model proposed in this paper is valid to predict the crack propagation in flexural fatigue of concrete.

Generally, fracture of a material is influenced by plastic zone size developed near the crack tip. Hence, according to the relative size of plastic zone in the material, the mechanics as a tool for analyzing the fracture process are classified into three kinds, that is, Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics, Large Deformation Fracture Mechanics. Even though the plastic zone size is such an important parameter, the practical measurement techniques are very limited and the one for in-situ measurement is not virtually available. Therefore, elastic-plastic FEA has been performed to estimate the plastic zone size. In this study, it is noticed that side necking at the surface is a consequence of plastic deformation and lateral contraction and the relation between the plastic zone and side necking is investigated. FEA for modified boundary layer models with finite thickness, various mode mixities $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ and strain hardening exponent n=3, 10 are performed. The results are presented and the implication regarding to application to experiment is discussed.

In this paper the results of a series of experimental tests upon three-point bending specimens made of polystyrene and containing re-entrant corners are firstly described. Tests involved different notch angles, different notch depths and finally different sizes of the samples. All the specimens broke at the defect, as expected because of the material brittleness and, hence, the generalized stress intensity factor was expected to be the governing failure parameter. Recorded failure loads are then compared with the predictions provided by a fracture criterion recently introduced in the framework of Finite Fracture Mechanics: fracture is assumed to propagate by finite steps, whose length is determined by the contemporaneous fulfilment of energy balance and stress requirements. This fracture criterion allows us to achieve the expression of the generalized fracture toughness as a function of the tensile strength, the fracture toughness and the notch opening angle. Comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental data turns out to be more than satisfactory.
