Failure patterns of rock specimens represent valuable information about the mechanical properties and crack evolution mechanism of rock. Several kinds of research have been conducted regarding the failure mechanism of brittle material, however; the influence of brittleness on the failure mechanism of rock specimens has not been precisely considered. In the present study, experimental and numerical examinations have been made to evaluate the physical and mechanical phenomena associated with rock failure mechanisms through the uniaxial compression test. In the experimental part, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests equipped with Acoustic Emission (AE) have been conducted on rock samples with three different brittleness. Then, the numerical models have been calibrated based on experimental test results for further investigation and comparing the micro-cracking process in experimental and numerical models. It can be perceived that the failure mode of specimens with high brittleness is tensile axial splitting, based on the experimental evidence of rock specimens with different brittleness. Also, the crack growth mechanism of the rock specimens with various brittleness using discrete element modeling in the numerical part suggested that the specimens with more brittleness contain more tensile fracture during the loading sequences.

재료의 손상을 평가하기 위하여 초음파법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었고 널리 사용되고 있으나 대부분 균열의 성장 또는 두께의 감소와 같은 문제에 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2.25Cr-1Mo 강을 이용하여 반복하중에 의해 재료내부에 발생하는 미시균열을 조기에 감지하고, 피로에 의한 파괴를 미연에 방지할 수 있도록 초음파 표면파의 감쇠와 속도변화를 이용하여 균열길이 측정의 정량적인 평가방법을 제시하였다. 중심주파수 5MHz의 탐촉자를 이용하여 파단수명비 약 60%, 균열길이 약 2mm 정도에서 표면파의 속도 및 감쇠 변화를 탐지할 수 있었다. 고주파 탐촉자를 이용함으로써 미시균열의 발생을 조기에 탐지할 수 있으며, 파단수명을 예측하는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

In urban construction projects, it is crucial to evaluate the impacts of excavation-induced ground movements in order to protect surrounding structures. These ground movements resulting in damages to the neighboring structures and facilities (i.e., parking basement) are of main concern for the geotechnical engineers. Even more, the danger exists if the nearby structure is an ancient or masonry brick building. The formations of cracks are indicators of structural damage caused by excavation-induced ground disturbances, which pose issues for excavation-related projects. Although the effects of deep excavations on existing brick masonry walls have been thoroughly researched, the impact of twin excavations on a brick masonry wall is rarely described in the literature. This work presents a 3D parametric analysis using an advanced hypoplastic model to investigate the responses of an existing isolated brick masonry wall to twin perpendicular excavations in dry sand. One after the other, twin perpendicular excavations are simulated. This article also looks at how varying sand relative densities (D_r = 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90%) affect the masonry wall. The cracks at the top of the wall were caused by the hogging deformation profile caused by the twin excavations. By raising the relative density from 30% to 90%, excavation-induced footing settlement is greatly minimized. The crack width at the top of the wall reduces as a result of the second excavation in very loose to loose sand (D_r = 30% and 50%). While the crack width on the top of the wall increases owing to the second excavation in medium to very dense sand (D_r = 70% and 90%).

In this paper, static and fatigue bending strengths of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastic laminates having impact damage(FOD) are evaluated. Composite laminates used for this experiment are CF/EPOXY and CF/PEEK orthotropy laminated plates, which have two-interfaces[${0^0}_4{90^0}_4}$]$_sym$. A steel ball launched by the air gun colides against CFRP laminates to generate impact damages. The damage growth during bending fatigue test is observed by the scanning acoustic microscope(SAM). When the impacted side is compressed, the residual fatigue bending strength of CF/PEEK specimen P is greater that that of CF/EPOXY SPECIMEN B. On the other hand, when the impacted side is in tension, the residual fatigue bending strength of CF/PEEK speicemen P is smaller than that of CF/EPOXY specimen B. In the case of impacted-side compression, fracture is proposed from the transverse crack generated near impact point. On the other hand, fracture is developed toward the impact point from the edge of interface-b delamination in the case of impacted-side tension.

The invention of fusion wilding technology has brought on a revolutionary change in manufacturing industry which enables the construction of large scale high temperature plants in chemical, petrochemical and power generation industries. However, among the failure cases of high temperature components, premature failures of weldments have taken a large percentage that indicates the detrimental effect of welding on structural integrity. The accurate prediction of the high temperature behaviour of welded components is thus becoming increasingly important in order to realise an optimised design and maintenance of a plant life. In the present paper, recent research activities on high temperature behaviour of welded structures are briefly summarised. A local deformation measuring technique is proposed to determine the creep properties of weldment constituents. A damage mechanics approach is introduced to study the life reduction and ductility reduction due to the presence of a weld in high temperature structures. Finally, the high temperature creep crack growth in weldments is discussed.

Recently structural damage has been frequently observed in reinforced concrete brdiges due to repeated loads such as vehicular traffic an due to continual overloads by heavy duty trucks. Therefore, the purpose of this experimental stduy is to investigate the damage mechanism due to fatigue behavior of high-strength reinforced concrete beams under repeated loads. From the test results, the relation of cycle loading to deflection is on the mid-span , the crack growth and the modes of failure according to cycle number, fatigue life and S-N curve were observed through the fatigue test. Based on the fatigue test results , high-strength reinforced concrete beams failed to 57 ∼66 percent of the static ultimate strength . Fatigue strength aobut two million cycles from S-N curves was certified by 60 percent of static ultimate strength.

This paper deals with the accumulated damage in concrete structures due to the cyclic freeze-thaw as an environmental load. The cyclic ice body nucleation and growth processes in porous systems are affected by the thermo-physical and mass transport properties, and gradients of temperature and chemical potentials. Furthermore, the diffusivity of deicing chemicals shows significantly higher value under cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Consequently, the disintegration of concrete structures is aggravated at marine environments, higher altitudes, and northern areas. However, the properties of cyclic freeze-thaw with crack growth and diffusion of chloride ion effects are hard to be identified in tests, and there has been no analytic model for the combined degradations. The main objective is to determine the driving force and evaluate the reduced strength and stiffness by freeze-thaw. For the development of computational model of those coupled deterioration, micro-pore structure characterization, pore pressure based on the thermodynamic equilibrium, time and temperature dependent super-cooling with or without deicing salts, nonlinear-fracture constitutive relation for the evaluation of internal damage, and the effect of entrained air pores (EA) has been modeled numerically. As a result, the amount of ice volume with temperature dependent surface tensions, freezing pressure and resulting deformations, and cycle and temperature dependent pore volume has been calculated and compared with available test results. The developed computational program can be combined with DuCOM, which can calculate the early aged strength, heat of hydration, micro-pore volume, shrinkage, transportation of free water in concrete. Therefore, the developed model can be applied to evaluate those various practical degradation cases as well.

콘크리트는 타설시부터 수많은 미세균열을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 미세균열등이 성장하고 전파되어 결국에는 콘크리트가 파괴된다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 손상이라 한다. 손상은 주로 2차 텐서로 표현되며 균열은 연속체적 현상으로 취급된다. 본 논문에서는 손상의 특성을 유효응력개념과 함께 등가탄성에너지법을 이용하여 나타내었으며, Helmholtz 자유에너지와 소산 포텐셜을 이용하여 손상모델의 손상전개와 구성방정식을 유도하였다. 구성방정식은 콘크리트의 탄성, 이방성 손상과 소성의 영향을 포함하도록 하였다. 두 가지 형태의 유효접선강성텐를 사용하였는데, 하나는 탄성-손상의 영향에 의한 것이며 다른 하나는 소성-손상의 영향에 의한 것이다. 모델을 검증하기 위하여 일축과 이축의 하중을 받는 콘크리트 요소에 대하여 유한요소해석을 하였으며 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다.

A significant development has been made on a new fatigue damage model applicable to Gaussian wide band stress response spectra using numerical approximation methods such as data processing, time simulation, and regression analysis. So far, most of the alternative approximate models provide slightly underestimated or overestimated damage results compared with the rain-flow counting distribution. A more reliable approximate model that can minimize the damage differences between exact and approximate solutions is required for the practical design of ships and offshore structures. The present paper provides a detailed description of the development process of a new fatigue damage model. Based on the principle of the Gaussian wide band model, this study aims to develop the best approximate fatigue damage model. To obtain highly accurate damage distributions, this study deals with some prominent research findings, i.e., the moment of rain-flow range distribution MRR(n), the special bandwidth parameter μk, the empirical closed form model consisting of four probability density functions, and the correction factor QC. Sequential prerequisite data processes, such as creation of various stress spectra, extraction of stress time history, and the rain-flow counting stress process, are conducted so that these research findings provide much better results. Through comparison studies, the proposed model shows more reliable and accurate damage distributions, very close to those of the rain-flow counting solution. Several significant achievements and findings obtained from this study are suggested. Further work is needed to apply the new developed model to crack growth prediction under a random stress process in view of the engineering critical assessment of offshore structures. The present developed formulation and procedure also need to be extended to non-Gaussian wide band processes.

높은 고도에서 운행되는 항공기는 -$50^{\circ}C$이하의 극저온 피로환경에 노출된다. 이때 반복하중을 통해 발생되는 크랙과 같은 미세결함은 항공기 구조물의 물성변화를 야기하고 구조물 파단과 같은 심각한 구조적 결함을 야기한다. 따라서 효율적인 구조물의 유지보수 및 수명 예측을 위해 구조물의 지속적인 상태진단이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 항공기 운행조건과 유사한 극저온 피로환경에서 항공기 날개의 구조 건전성 모니터링을 수행하였다. 초기 결함 탐지를 위해 사각배열 압전구동기 및 센서를 구조물 하단에 부착한 뒤, 유도초음파 기반 능동센싱 기법을 통해 손상에 의한 산란 및 반사파를 측정하였다. 이후 통계학적 모델 분석과 위상배열기법을 통해 손상 발생 시점을 파악 및 손상 위치 탐지를 실시하였다. 또한, 극저온 환경에서의 센서의 생존성 파악과 구조 건전성 모니터링 결과의 신뢰성 향상을 위해 센서자가진단을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 기법을 통해 극한환경에서 운행되는 구조물의 초기 손상 탐지 및 손상 위치 탐지가 높은 정확도로 가능함을 확인하였다.
