This paper studies the energies and energy release rate (ERR) for the initially rotationally symmetric compressed (or stretched) in the inward (outward) radial direction of the PZT/Elastic/PZT sandwich circular plate with interface penny-shaped cracks. The investigations are made by utilizing the so-called three-dimensional linearized field equations and relations of electro-elasticity for piezoelectric materials. The quantities related to the initial stress state are determined within the scope of the classical linear theory of piezoelectricity. Mathematical formulation of the corresponding problem and determination of the quantities related to the stress-strain state which appear as a result of the action of the uniformly normal additional opening forces acting on the penny-shaped crack's edges are made within the scope of the aforementioned three-dimensional linearized field equations solution which is obtained with the use of the FEM modelling. Numerical results of the energies and ERR and the influence of the problem parameters on these quantities are presented and discussed for the PZT- 5H/Al/PZT-5H, PZT-4/Al/PZT-4, $BaTiO_3/Al/BaTiO_3$ and PZT-5H/StPZT-5H sandwich plates. In particular, it is established that the magnitude of the influence of the piezoelectricity and initial loading on the ERR increases with crack radius length.

The radial slot configuration in the solid propellant grain is usually fabricated by the polyurethane foam slot former The foam cannot be easily removed from the solid propellant, some can remain in the slot. Analogue solid propellant rocket motors using polyurethane foam to shape the slot are static fired with the foam former still in place in the slot. The pressure increases at the slot part are measured and there are indications of the propellant cracks at the insulations above the slot. The pressure increase is produced at the beginning of the burning sequence as the foam will hinder the combustion gas of the burning propellant from flowing into the central bore. The pressure increase up to about 300psi is predicted for the motor tested and this pressure increase depends on the gap between the propellant and foam surfaces and remaining foam volume. This amount of pressure increase inside of the slot is estimated to cause the propellant crack. To prevent this pressure increase, minimizing the foam remainder in the slot and making sufficient chamfering at the comer of the slot entrance are suggested.

발파에 의한 암반의 손상이나 파쇄는 폭약의 폭굉 과정에서 발생하는 충격파와 가스팽창의 영향에 의해 야기된다. 발파에 의한 파괴 메커니즘을 완전히 이해하기 위해서는 두 메커니즘을 같이 연구해야한다. 본 연구에서는 개별 요소법에 기초한 수치해석 프로그램인 PFC2D를 이용하여 발파공 벽면에 작용하는 폭굉압과 가스압을 동시에 모델링 할 수 있고 이에 따른 암반 내 균열 발생을 확인할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 또한 시멘트-모르타르 블록에서의 모형 발파시험을 수치해석을 수행함으로써, 개발된 알고리즘을 검증하였다.

인공치관용 알루미나-유리 복합체를 유사 구강분위기인 인공타액 하에서 200-1000 N의 하중 조건으로 $10^{6}$ 횟수까지 헤르찌안 반복하중 피로특성을 조사하였다. 200 N의 하중에서 $10^{6}$까지 반복피로 실험결과, 강도 저하 및 균열 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 하중이 1000 N으로 증가함에 따라 링 균열에서 방사상 균열로 전이되었을 때 급격한 강도 저하 현상이 발생하였다. 강도 저하 현상은 유사 구강 분위기하에서 반복 하중 접촉 시 발생한 방사상 균열을 통해 침투한 인공타액과 유리상의 화학적 반응으로 더욱 가속화 되었다.

Cracking can lead to unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature. This article is raised to study the application of a composite material instead of the traditional carbon steel material used in the natural gas transmission pipeline because the cracks occurs in the pipeline initiate at its internal surface which is subjected to internal high fluctuated pressure and unsteady temperature according to actual operation conditions. Functionally graded material (FGM) is proposed to benefit from the ceramics durability and its surface hardness against erosion. FGM properties are graded at the radial direction. Finite element method (FEM) is applied and solved by ABAQUS software including FORTRAN subroutines adapted for this case of study. The stress intensity factor (SIF), temperatures and stresses are discussed to obtain the optimum FGM configuration under the actual conditions of pressure and temperature. Thermoelastic analysis of a plane strain model is adopted to study SIF and material response at various crack depths.

Radial and tangential water diffusion in Eucalyptus globulus wood was investigated using three mature trees from a forest in Khemis Sahel (North Morocco). Absorption and desorption kinetics experiments were conducted at ambient temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively, and a relative humidity of 60%. The diffusion coefficients in the two directions were determined under imposed hygrothermal conditions; they were greater in the radial direction for the absorption as well as desorption processes. Convective drying under load, preceded by reconditioning and followed up by balancing, revealed the drying conditions that corresponded to the appropriate drying schedules for E. globulus wood. This was verified by measuring the cracks and bowsbefore and after drying of boards.

The axisymmetric buckling delamination of the Piezoelectric/Metal/Piezoelectric (PZT/Metal/PZT) sandwich circular plate with interface penny-shaped cracks is investigated. The case is considered where open-circuit conditions with respect to the electrical displacement on the upper and lower surfaces, and short-circuit conditions with respect to the electrical potential on the lateral surface of the face layers are satisfied. It is assumed that the edge surfaces of the cracks have an infinitesimal rotationally symmetric initial imperfection and the development of this imperfection with rotationally symmetric compressive forces acting on the lateral surface of the plate is studied by employing the exact geometrically non-linear field equations and relations of electro-elasticity for piezoelectric materials. The sought values are presented in the power series form with respect to the small parameter which characterizes the degree of the initial imperfection. The zeroth and first approximations are used for investigation of stability loss and buckling delamination problems. It is established that the equations and relations related to the first approximation coincide with the corresponding ones of the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability of electro-elasticity for piezoelectric materials. The quantities related to the zeroth approximation are determined analytically, however the quantities related to the first approximation are determined numerically by employing Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical results on the critical radial stresses acting in the layers of the plate are presented and discussed. In particular, it is established that the piezoelectricity of the face layer material causes an increase (a decrease) in the values of the critical compressive stress acting in the face (core) layer.

저장 중 쌀의 수분이동에 따른 균열현상을 구명하고 균열을 발생시키는 임계조건을 산출하여 이를 토대로 쌀의 균열을 방지할 수 있는 저장조건을 확립하였다. 쌀의 평형상대습도와 노출된 환경의 상대습도의 차이$({\Delta}ERH)$가 적을 때는 균열이 발생하지 않은 반면, 그 차이가 임계치보다 클 때는 균열이 발생하였으며 균열의 발생정도는 쌀의 평형상대습도와 환경의 상대습도의 차이가 클수록 심하게 나타났다. 탈습환경 하에서는 불규칙한 형상의 균열이 쌀알의 외부에 발생하였으며 흡습환경 하에는 규칙적인 형상의 균열이 쌀알의 내부에 축방향과 수직방향으로 방사상으로 발생하였다. 노출시간별 균열발생 패턴을 Weibull함수에 의거하여 해석한 결과, ${\Delta}ERH$가 클수록 균열속도상수가 증가하였다. 동할미 발생률은 In$({\Delta}ERH)$에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 임계 균열발생 상대 습도차(critical crack-inducing ${\Delta}ERH$)는 탈습시 $11.3{\sim}16.4%$, 흡습시 $10.8{\sim}17.1%$의 값을 보였다. 실험결과를 토대로 수분함량 및 수분활성도 별 쌀의 안전저장 상대습도를 나타내는 diagram을 제시하였다.

The crest of the Pubugou central core rockfill dam (CCRD) cracked in the first and second impounding periods. To evaluate the safety of the Pubugou CCRD, an inversion analysis of the constitutive model parameters for rockfill materials is performed based on the in situ deformation monitoring data. The aim of this work is to truly reflect the deformation state of the Pubugou CCRD and determine the causes of the dam crest cracks. A novel real-coded genetic algorithm based upon the differences in gene fragments (DGFX) is proposed. It is used in combination with the radial based function neural network (RBFNN) to perform the parameters back analysis. The simulated settlements show good agreements with the monitoring data, illustrating that the back analysis is reasonable and accurate. Furthermore, the deformation gradient of the dam crest has been analysed. The dam crest has a great possibility of cracking due to the uncoordinated deformation, which agrees well with the field investigation. The deformation gradient decreases to the value lower than the critical one and reaches a stable state after the second full reservoir.

유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료로 피막한 판유리의 표변파괴거동에 대한 섬유방향효과를 미소강구 충격실험을 통해 연구했다. 본 연구에서는 단순소다유리판(soda-lime glass plates), 일방향 유리섬유/에폭시박막 (glass/epoxy lamina ply)을 1층 및 2층 접착, 직교형 유리섬유/에폭시 박막 (2층)을 접착한 4종류의 시편을 사용하였다. 유리판 배면에 스트레인게이지를 부착하여 충격중의 최대 응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 측정하였다. 피막없는 판유리의 경우 충격속도 증가에 따라 링균열, 콘균열, 레이디얼 균열이 충격표면부에서 발생하였다. 복합재료 박막으로 피막한 결과, 소다유리판의 균열은 현저히 감소하였으며 섬유층과 판유리사이의 박리 및 소성변형영역의 방향은 섬유방향으로 진행했다. 최대응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 이용하여 구한 충격 표면파괴지수는 표면저항의 효과적인 평가지수로서 사용될 수 있었다.
