Predicting fracture properties requires an understanding of structural failure behaviour in relation to specimen type, dimension, and notch length. Facture properties are evaluated using various testing methods, wedge splitting test being one of them. The wedge splitting test was numerically modelled three dimensionally using the finite element method on self compacting concrete specimens with varied specimen and notch depths in the current work. The load - Crack mouth opening displacement curves and the angle of rotation with respect to notch opening till failure are used to assess the fracture properties. Furthermore, based on the simulation results, failure curve was built to forecast the fracture behaviour of self-compacting concrete. The fracture failure curve revealed that the failure was quasi-brittle in character, conforming to non-linear elastic properties for all specimen depth and notch depth combinations.

Linear motors are increasingly employed as direct actuators replacing the more conventional systems composed by a rotating motor and a mechanical device. Linear DC motor is useful in a high speed and high accuracy positioning system with a feedback controller. Because of these advantages, linear DC motors have already been used as motors of pen recorders and magnetic disk storage devices, these are moving coil type linear DC motors as these movers are light. Moving magnet type linear DC motor has advantages at long stroke motors because its mover's feeding wires for driving is not necessary. This paper is concerned with the analysis of linear DC motor that is moving magnet type with unipolar. In order to analyze the dynamic behaviour a mathematical model based on a simplified field analysis developed. A two dimensional finite element field solution is employed in order to illustrate the effect of yoke saturation and motor performance. It is deduced the relation between the limit value of the thrust of the linear DC motor and the dimension of the yokes.

This study analyzes the impact of digital strategy on firm performance through relational behavior, cognitive dimensions, and continuous digital transformation based on social capital theory. The research model was tested using data collected from a survey of 300 domestic corporate employees who have worked for over a year, conducted from February 20 to 23, 2024, using Smart PLS 4.0. The key findings of the study are as follows: First, it was confirmed that digital strategy plays a crucial role in promoting cooperation and interaction within the organization, enhancing members' understanding and perception of digital technology, and strengthening the firm's competitiveness through continuous change and innovation. Second, continuous digital transformation and cognitive dimensions positively impact firm performance, while the influence of relational behavior dimensions was found to be insignificant. These findings suggest that digital strategy can significantly affect firm performance by fostering interaction and perception changes within the organization, beyond mere technology adoption, and provide strategic implications for Korean firms to effectively pursue digital transformation.
