Rock masses often contain natural fractures of varying sizes, and the size of the natural fractures may affect the propagation of hydraulic fractures. We conduct a series of triaxial hydraulic fracturing tests to investigate the effect of the pre-existing fracture size a on hydraulic fracture propagation. Experimental results show that the pre-existing fracture size impacts hydraulic fracture propagation. As the pre-existing fracture size increases, the hydraulic fracture propagates towards the pre-existing fracture tips, evidenced by the decreased distance between the final hydraulic fracture and the pre-existing fracture tips. Furthermore, the attracting effect of pre-existing fracture tips increases when the distance between the wellbore and the pre-existing fracture is short (L/D=2 or 4 in this study). With increased distance between the wellbore and the pre-existing fracture (L/D=6 in this study), the hydraulic fracture propagates to the middle of the pre-existing fracture rather than the tips, as the attracting effect of the pre-existing fracture diminishes.

The eLoran system is a high-power terrestrial navigation system that is recognized as the most appropriate alternative to complement the GNSS's vulnerability to radio frequency interference. Accordingly, Korea has conducted eLoran technology development projects since 2016. The eLoran system developed in Korea provides 20 m positioning accuracy to maritime user in Incheon and Pyeongtaek harbor. To accurately calculate the position with the eLoran signal, it is necessary to apply a compensation method that mitigates the propagation delay. In this paper, we develop the compensation method to mitigate the eLoran signal propagation delay and evaluate the positioning performance in Incheon harbor. The propagation delay due to the terrain characteristics is pre-surveyed and stored in the user receiver. Real-time fluctuations in propagation delay compared to the pre-stored data are mitigated by the temporal correction generated at a nearby differential Loran station. Finally, two performance evaluation tests were performed to verify the positioning accuracy of the Korean eLoran system. The first test took place in December 2020 and the second in April 2021. As a result, the Korean eLoran service has been confirmed to provide 20 m location accuracy without GPS.

The rotating bending fatigue tests were performed using the specimens taken from Cr-Mo-V steel, widely sued in thermal power plant turbines, at various temperatures such as room temperature, 300 .deg. C, 425 .deg. C and 550 .deg. C. The characteristics of fatigue crack propagation were examined and analyzed by using fracture mechanics parameter. The plastic replica method was also applied in order to measure the crack length on the basis of serial observation of fatigue crack propagation behavior on the defected specimen surface. The fatigue crack propagation behavior of Cr-Mo-V steel was investigated within the frame work of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The propagation law of fatigue crack is obtained uniquely by using the term .sigma. $^{n}$ sub a/where .sigma. $_{a}$ is the service stress, a is the crack length and n is a constant. The values of constant n are nearly equal to 2.48, 2.60 and 8.61 at room temperature, 300 .deg. C and 425 .deg. C.

The aim of this work is to analyze and predict the wave propagation behavior of the carbon nanotube reinforced composites (CNTRC) beams within the framework of various higher order shear deformation beam theory. Using the Euler-Lagrange principle, the wave equations for CNTRC beams are derived, where the determining factor is to make the determinant equal to zero. Based on the eigenvalue method, the relationship between wave number and circular frequency is obtained. Furthermore, the phase and group velocities during wave propagation are obtained as a function of wave number, and the material properties of CNTRC beams are estimated by the mixture rule. In this paper, various higher order shear beam theory including Euler beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory and other beam theories are mainly adopted to analyze the wave propagation problem of the CNTRC beams, and by this way, we conduct a comparative analysis to verify the correctness of this paper. The mathematical model provided in this paper is verified numerically by comparing it with some existing results. We further investigate the effects of different enhancement modes of CNTs, volume fraction of CNTs, spring factor and other aspects on the wave propagation behaviors of the CNTRC beams.

When piping system in a nuclear power plant is subjected to a beyond design seismic condition, it is important to accurately determine possibility of crack initiation and, if initiation occurs, its location and time. From recent experimental works on elbow pipes, it was found that the crack initiation location and crack propagation direction of the SA403 WP316 stainless steel elbow pipe were affected by the pipe thickness. In this paper, the crack initiation location and crack propagation direction for SA403 WP316 stainless steel elbow pipes with different thickness were analyzed via elastic-plastic finite element analysis. Based on FE results, the effect of the pipe thickness on different crack initiation location and crack propagation direction was analyzed using ovality, stress and strain components. It was also confirmed that the presence of internal pressure had no effect on the crack initiation location and crack propagation direction.

The characteristics of flame propagation in inert particle-laden $H_2$/Air premixed gas are numerically investigated on this study. The 2nd order TVD scheme is applied to numerical analysis of governing equations and multi-step chemical reaction model and detailed transport properties are sued to solve chemical reaction terms. Radiation heat transfer is computed by applying the finite volume method to a radiative transfer equation. The burning velocities against the mole fractions of hydrogen agree well with results performed by different workers. The inert particles play significant roles in the flame propagation on account of momentum and heat transfer between gas and particles. Gas temperature, pressure and flame propagation speed are decreased as the loading ratio of particle is increased. Also the products behind flame zone contain lots of water vapor whose absorption coefficient is much larger than that of unburned gas. Thus, the radiation effect of gas and particles must be considered simultaneously for the flame propagation in a mixture of $H_2$/Air and inert particles. As a result, it is founded that because the water vapor emits much radiation and this emitted radiation is released at boundaries as radiant heat loss as well as reabsorbed by gas and particles, flame propagation speed and flame structure are altered with radiation effect.

천해에서 수심과 퇴적물 유형의 변화에 따른 전파손실 양상을 규명하기 위해 한국 동남해역에서 음향실험을 실시하였다. 정해진 경로를 따라서 약 5kts의 속도로 음원기를 예인하고 3개 정점의 해저면에 설치된 수신기에서 동시에 신호를 수신하였다. 음파가 등수심선에 평행하게 진행할 때와 수직으로 진행할 때의 전파손실을 비교해 보면 평행하게 진행할 때 전반적으로 손실이 작다. 이러한 경향은 음원-수신기 사이의 거리가 멀어질 수록 두드러진다. 또한 음파가 등수심선에 수직으로 진행할때 상향조건과 하향조건등 진행하는 방향에 따라서도 전파손실의 차이가 발생하며, 전반적으로 하향조건하에서 손실이 작고 거리에 따라서는 10dB 이상 차이가 발생한다. 그리고 해저 표층 퇴적물이 gravelly sand와 sand-silt-clay로 구성된 두 해역에서의 전파손실에서는 뚜렷한 차이를 발겨하기 어렵다. 한편, 최적 전파 주파수는 대부분 130-255Hz범위에 존재한다.

In this study, the propagation behaviour and the closure phenomena of physically small surface cracks were investigated by the techinque of the Kikukawa-unloading elastic compliance method using a back face strain gage. The surface cracks initiated and propagated from notched specimens under constant amplitude bending load. The crack shape (aspect ratio) with approximately semi-circular at the early stage was changed to semi-elliptical as the cracks grew larger. The crack depth (a) could be expressed uniquenly by the crack length (c). The dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was strongly related in the lower ${\Delta}K$ range. The deceleration of the surface crack propagation rate was prominent in lower R during the crack length was small. When the propagation rate was rearranged with the effective stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}$K_{eff} the dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was found to be diminshed. These were caused by the crack closure phenomena that was most prominent at the lower propagation rate. The mechanism of crack closure phenomena was dominated by the plasticity-induced mechanism.

금속에서의 흥미로운 광학적 특성들은 주로 표면 폴라리톤(surface polaritons: SP)의 기여에 의해 나타난다. 물질상수(유전율과 투자율)가 모두 음수인 왼손잡이 물질(left-handed materials: LHM)의 표면에서도 두 종류의 SP인 표면 전기-폴라리톤(surface electric-polariton: SEP), 또는, 표면 자기-폴라리톤(surface magnetic-polariton: SMP)이 형성되어 군속도와 위상속도가 서로 반전되는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 금속물질과 LHM와 같은 메타물질(metamaterials)의 경계면에서 발생하는 SP의 전파특성을 분산관계를 통하여 분석하였다. 임의의 물질상수를 갖는 두 매질의 경계면에서 SEP와 SMP가 생성될 수 있는 일반화된 조건을 도출하였으며, 양쪽 매질을 통해 전파하는 에너지 비율의 차이에 의해 군속도와 위상속도가 반전된다는 물리적인 원인을 제안하였다. 도출된 SP 생성조건을 이용하여 금속물질과 메타물질의 경계면에서 전파하는 SEP와 SMP의 분산관계를 구하고, 주파수에 따라 다양한 SP의 전파특성이 나타날 수 있음을 보였다. SEP 및 SMP 분산관계로부터 구한 정량화 된 전파특성은 SP가 존재하기 위한 매질의 일반화된 조건과 에너지 전파 비율의 계산으로부터 얻은 결과와 일치함을 확인하였다. 특히, 두 매질 중 어느 한 매질이 LHM이 아니더라도 SP은 위상속도와 군속도가 반전되어 전파될 수 있음을 밝혀내었다.
