Porous materials such as polymeric foam are widely adopted in engineering and biomedical fields. Porous materials often exhibit complex nonlinear behaviors and are sensitive to material and environmental factors including cell size and shape, amount of porosity, and temperature, which are influenced by the type of base materials, reinforcements, method of fabrication, etc. Hence, the material characteristics of porous materials such as compressive stress-strain behavior and void volume fraction according to aforementioned factors should be precisely identified. In this study, unconfined uniaxial compressive test for two types of closed-cell structure polyurethane foam, namely, 0.16 and $0.32g/cm^3$ of densities were carried out. In addition, the void volume fraction of three different domains, namely, center, surface and buckling regions under various compressive strains (10 %, 30 %, 50 % and 70 %) were quantitatively observed using Micro 3D Computed Tomography(micro-CT) scanning system. Based on the experimental results, the relationship between compressive strain and void volume fraction with respect to cell size, density and boundary condition were investigated.

This study was carried out to investigate the soil water characteristic curve and prediction of void ratio with net stress and matric suction using the linear elastic and volumetric deformation analysis method on unsaturated silty. The unsaturated soil tests were conducted using a modified oedometer cell and specimens were prepared at water content 2 times of liquid limit and required void ratio. The axis translation technique was used to create the desired matric suctions in the samples. It is shown that soil water characteristic curve and volumetric water content were affected significantly by preconsolidation pressure. As a matric suction increases, the reduction ratio of void ratio was shown to considerably small. Also, the predicted and measured void ratio for unsaturated soils using the linear elastic and volumetric deformation analysis showed good agreement as net stress and matric suction increases.

This study was carried out to investigate the liquefaction behaviour of saturated silty sand under monotonic loading conditions. The undrained soil tests were conducted using a modified triaxial cell and specimens were prepared using the moisture tamping method. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed at different confining pressures, void ratios and overconsolidation ratios and the samples were sheared to axial strains of about 20% to obtain monotonic loading conditions. It is shown that increasing confining pressures, void ratios and overconsoildation ratios increases the deviator stress, but it has no effect on increasing the dilatant tendencies. It is shown that complete static liquefaction was observed regardless of increases in the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsolidation ratio. Therefore, the confining pressure, void ratio and overconsoildation ratio does not provide significant effects on the liquefaction resistance of the silty sand. The presence of fines in the soil was shown to greatly increase the potential for static liquefaction and creates a particle structure with high compressibility for all cases.

무질서하고 불균질한 형상을 갖는 지반 재료 내 간극 구조는 하중에 의한 재료의 변형 및 간극 내 유체의 흐름 등 물리 역학적 거동에 중요한 영향 인자이다. 최근 들어 X-ray CT에 의한 비파괴 검사를 통해 지반 재료의 내부 구조를 마이크로미터 단위의 높은 해상도를 통해 평가하는 기법이 사용되고 있다. CT 이미지는 재료의 많은 정보를 포함하고 있음에도 그에 따른 이미지 해석 기법의 개발이 다소 미흡하여 2, 3차원 이미지의 정성적 관찰 및 간극비와 같은 거시적인 물성치 획득만이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연속적으로 획득된 글라스 비드의 2차원 CT 이미지에 기반하여 3차원 입자 및 간극 구조를 형성하고, 복잡한 간극구조를 간극셀과 간극채널로 정량적 분리를 실시하였다. 이를 위해 좌표 변환법, 이진화, 들로네 삼각망, 그리고 유클리디안 거리변환법과 같은 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 3차원 CT 이미지에 적용하였고 불균질한 글라스 비드의 간극구조에 대해 정량적으로 간극셀의 분포 및 간극간의 연결도 평가가 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study mainly focused on the neutronics modeling of bubbles in bubbly flow in boiling water reactors. The bubble, ring and homogenous models were used for radial void fraction distribution. Effect of the bubble and ring models on the infinite multiplication factor and two-group flux distribution was investigated by comparing with the homogenous model. Square pitch unit cell geometry was used in the calculations. In the bubble model, spherical and non-spherical bubbles at random positions, sizes and shapes were produced by Monte Carlo method. The results show that there are significant differences among the proposed models from the viewpoint of physical interaction mechanism. For the fully-developed bubbly flow, $k_{inf}$ is overestimated in the ring model by about $720{\pm}6pcm$ with respect to homogeneous model whereas underestimated in the bubble model by about $-65{\pm}9pcm$ with a standard deviation of 15 pcm. In addition, the ring model shows that the coolant must be separated into regions to properly represent the radial void distribution. Deviations in flux distributions principally occur in certain regions, such as corners. As a result, the bubble model in modeling the void fraction can be used in nuclear engineering calculations.

연약 지반의 거동 특성 평가를 위하여 전단파 속도와 전기저항을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 압밀셀을 개발하였다. 전단파의 발진과 수신을 위한 벤더엘리먼트는 압밀셀의 상 하부판 및 벽면에 설치하였다. 국부적인 간극비 변화를 평가하기 위하여 이중 쐐기 형식의 전기저항 탐침을 적용하였다. 벤더 엘리먼트와 전기저항 탐침은 나일론 재질의 스크류 안에 고정하였다. 나일론 재질의 스크류는 압밀셀과의 임피던스 차이로 인하여 압밀셀을 통한 파의 직접적 전달을 최소화하며, 고장난 벤더 엘리먼트와 전기저항 탐침을 쉽게 교환하게 해준다. 전기저항-대수 시간 곡선의 기울기 및 전단파 속도의 변화로부터 일차 압밀 시간을 평가하였다. 교란 효과가 적을 경우, 입자 배열은 전단파 속도에 영향을 미치며 이로부터 흙의 고유 이방성을 평가할 수 있었다. 압밀 실험동안 침하량으로 산정한 간극비와 전기저항으로부터 계산된 간극비는 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 전단퐈 속도와 전기저항이 일차 압밀, 고유 이방성, 간극비 등 연약 지반의 압밀 특성 파악을 위한 보완적인 정보를 제공해 줌을 보여준다.

A series of reinforced G109 type specimens was fabricated and pended with a 15 weight percent NaCl solution. Mix design variables included 1) two cement alkalinities (equivalent alkalinities of 0.32 and 1.08), 2) w/c 0.50 and 3) two rebar surface conditions (as-received and wire-brushed). Potential and macro-cell current between top and bottom bars were monitored to determine corrosion initiation time. Once corrosion was initiated, the specimen was ultimately autopsied to perform visual inspection, and the procedure included determination of the number and size of air voids along the top half of the upper steel surface. This size determination was based upon a diameter measurement assuming the air voids to be half spheres or ellipse. The followings were reached based upon the visual inspection of G109 specimens that were autopsied to date. First, voids at the steel-concrete interface facilitated passive film breakdown and onset of localized corrosion. Based upon this, the initiation mechanism probably involved a concentration cell with contiguous concrete coated and bare steel serving as cathodes and anodes, respectively. Second, the corrosion tended to initiate at relatively large voids. Third, specimens with wire-brushed steel had a lower number of voids at the interface for both cement alkalinities, suggesting that air voids preferentially formed on the rough as-received surface compared to the smooth wire brushed one.

In this study, we investigate the deformation behavior of F.C.C. single crystals containing micro- or submicron-sized voids by using three dimensional finite element methods. The locally homogeneous constitutive model for the rate-dependent crystal plasticity is integrated based on the backward Euler method and implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) by means of user-defined subroutine (UMAT). The unit cell analysis has been investigated to study the effect of stress triaxiality and crystallographic orientations on the growth and coalescence of voids in F.C.C. single crystals.
