A probabilistic micromechanical framework is proposed to quantify numerically the self-healing capabilities of polymers containing microcapsules. A two-step self-healing process is designed in this study: A probabilistic micromechanical framework based on the ensemble volume-averaging method is derived for the polymers, and a hitting probability model combined with a crack nucleation model is then utilized for encountering microcapsules and microcracks. Using this framework, a series of parametric investigations are performed to examine the influence of various model parameters (e.g., the volume fraction of microcapsules, microcapsule radius, radius ratio of microcracks to microcapsules, microcrack aspect ratio, and scale parameter) on the self-healing capabilities of the polymers. The proposed framework is also implemented into a finite element code to solve the self-healing behavior of tapered double cantilever beam specimens.

최근 구조물의 유지관리의 중요성이 부각되면서 자기치유 콘크리트 기술 분야의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 반해서 자기치유 성능을 평가하기 위한 척도는 부족한 실정이다. 균열폭을 측정하기 위한 방법으로 시각적인 방법이 1차적으로 사용되고 있으나 시편 내부의 균열폭을 관찰하기가 어려우며, 비균질한 균열특성으로 인해 표면에 대한 국부적인 측정만 할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 균열에 대한 간접적인 평가 방법으로 투수실험이 널리 활용되고 있지만 물의 점성으로 인한 문제가 있으며, 또한 실험 중 시편내부 물질의 용출될 가능성이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 기체확산 특성을 활용한 균열폭 평가 방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 아크릴로 이상화된 직선균열을 제작하여 균열폭, 두께에 따른 시편의 확산계수를 분석하였다. 실험결과를 통하여 균열폭과 확산계수는 선형관계에 있음을 보였고, 두께와 확산계수는 역수의 관계에 있음을 증명하였다.

[ $Al_2O_3/SiC$ ]composite ceramics were sintered to evaluate the bending strength and elastic wave characteristics. The three-point bending test was carried out under room temperature. The elastic wave was detected by fracture wave detector. The crack healing behavior was investigated from 1373 K to 1723 K. The bending strength of $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite by nanocomposite is higher than that of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic. Crack-healing behavior depended on an amount of additive powder $Y_2O_3$. In $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics with 3 wt. % $Y_2O_3$ for additive powder, the bending strength at 1573 K is about 100% increase than that of the smooth specimens. From the result of wavelet analysis of elastic wave signal, the smooth specimen and heat treated specimen of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic and $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics showed characteristics of frequency about 58 kHz. The strength of $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics was a little higher than those of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic. The dominant frequencies were high with increasing of $Y_2O_3$ for additive powder. The dominant frequencies had direct connection with the bending strength.

In this research, properties of new crack repair materials using organic and inorganic composites (OAI) were investigated under various crack conditions. Especially, this study aims to develop new composites repair materials as needed to follow the crack and its repair method. Crack repair methods such as injection method and surface treatment repair method using self-healing capability for the practical industrial application were examined in comparison with normal crack repair method as a epoxy injection. From these results, it was confirmed that the sealing and injection effects through the cracks from field tests could be improved by OAI.

본 연구에서는 열간가압소결법으로 SiC를 소결하여 균열자기치유 특성을 분석하였다. SiC는 $Al_2O_3$와 $Y_2O_3$를 소결조제로 $1950^{\circ}C$, 50 MPa, 아르곤(Ar) 분위기에서 소결하였다. 소결된 시편을 $3{\times}4{\times}40mm$, 절단 및 가공하고, Vickers 경도기를 이용하여 49.6 N으로 예비균열을 생성하였다. $1200{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$, 1~10시간 산화분위기에서 열처리한 후 XRD, SEM, 3점 굽힘강도를 측정하였다. $1300^{\circ}C$ 1시간에서 741 MPa, 5시간에서 770 MPa로 가장 우수한 균열자기치유 효과를 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다.

Bacterial self-healing concrete is known to improve the durability of concrete by preventing the propagation of microcracks. In the literature, bacteria prevent the corrosion of rebar by inhibiting water transfer through crack, but also can promote the corrosion by acting as an ion acceptor in the rust generation mechanism. Therefore in this study, the electrochemical analysis of bio-filmed rebar was conducted to explore the effects of the self-healing bacteria on the bare rebar without cement composite. As a result of the experiment contradicting trends for Ecorr and Icorr occurred and additional experiment will be conducted in various environments to collect data on the mechanism of corrosion of rebar by bacteria.

We studied whether chemical strengthening can heal the flaws on soda-lime silicate glass. Artificial surface cracks were introduced on the glass by sharp indentation with various loads of 0.1 to 10 N. Then, the glasses with flaws were treated by ion-exchanging in KNO₃ melt. The change in the dimension of the crack on glass was measured by a digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The chemical strengthening treatment enhances the strength of the glass with flaws. It is thought that the melted KNO₃ not only forms the depth of the compressed layer of 7.5 ㎛, but also heals the cracks by infiltrating them and expanding the glass on both sides of the cracks. The critical length (2c) of the cracks on soda-lime glass that can be healed by chemical strengthening is 50 ㎛ or less.
