A analysis of crack behavior in RC member was performed by nonlinear finite element method. Two crack models were used in F.E.M.(finite element method): one was FCM (the fixed crack model) and the other was RCM (the rotated crack model). Based on parametric study, the ratio of shear steel, strength of concrete, and a/d(shear span/effective depth) were compared with test results of references. According to the test results, when the member behavior was affected by the shear or diagonal tension, RCM was reasonable. However, when the behavior was affected by the flexibility, FCM was more appropriate. In addition, each crack model behavior for the change of shear steel ratio, the increase of strain energy was constant in FCM, but it was different in RCM because of diagonal crack distribution and crack width. Since the strength of concrete is affected not only by shear but also by flexural strength, each crack model behavior yields similar results.

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is known as one of the efficient modern composites that can greatly enhance the material performance of cracked concrete in tension. Such improved tensile resistance mechanism at crack interfaces in SFRC members can be heavily influenced by methodologies of treatments of crack direction. While most existing studies have focused on developing the numerical analysis model with the rotating-angle theory, there are only few studies on finite element analysis models with the fixed-angle model approach. According to many existing experimental studies, the direction of principal stress rotated after the formation of initial fixed-cracks, but it was also observed that new cracks with completely different angles relative to the initial crack direction very rarely occurred. Therefore, this study introduced the direct tension force transfer model (DTFTM), in which tensile resistance of the fibers at the crack interface can be easily estimated, to the nonlinear finite element analysis algorithm with the fixed-angle theory, and the proposed model was also verified by comparing the analysis results to the SFRC shear panel test results. The secant modulus method adopted in this study for iterative calculations in nonlinear finite element analysis showed highly stable and fast convergence capability when it was applied to the fixed-angle theory. The deviation angle between the principal stress direction and the fixed-crack direction significantly increased as the tensile stresses in the steel fibers at crack interfaces increased, which implies that the deviation angle is very important in the estimation of the shear behavior of SFRC members.

고속철도 차륜의 미소결함을 고속 고공간 분해 능으로 측정할 수 있는 새로운 비파괴검사법이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 종래의 스캔형 자기카메라를 개선하여, 다중증폭회로와 결함표시를 위한 펄스 발생기를 장착한 신호처리회로를 제안한다. 홀센서를 선형으로 배열하고, 배열의 직각방향으로 차륜이 정속으로 회전하게 하면, 차륜의 답면을 검사할 수 있다. 각각의 홀전압을 증폭하고, AD변환기를 통하여 $\mu$-processor에 의하여 시간에 따른 전압차, 즉 ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$를 연산한다. ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$가 결함의 존재를 의미하는 비교치보다 클 때 pulse 신호가 발생하여 결함을 지시한다. 휠 시험편을 이용하여 제안된 방법을 검증하였다.
