연구목적: 본 연구는 미세인장결합강도와 파괴인성을 통해 복합 레진 수복물의 수리 시기와 표면 처리 방법에 따른 파괴 거동을 알아보고자 시행되었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: Short rod 시편과 composite resin specimen block을 준비하여 표면 처리 방법에 따라 none-treated, sand blasting, bur roughening 군으로 나누고 이를 다시 즉시군과 2주 지연군으로 나누어 수리했다. 결과: 미세인장결합강도와 파괴인성을 측정한 결과, 두 실험 모두에서 즉시군이 지연군보다 높은 값을 보였다. 기계적 표면 처리군이 none-treated군보다 높은 값을 보였고, sand blasting과 bur roughening 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 파괴인성과 미세인장결합강도는 상관 관계가 없었다. FE-SEM을 보아 수복물의 탈락은 균열 전도와 관계가 있는 것으로 보인다. 결론: 수리된 복합 레진의 파괴 거동 평가에는 파괴인성 실험이 적합하다.

Generally, structures are analyzed as continuum. However, sometimes it is more efficient to analyze structure as a discrete model rather than as a continuum model in case of the structure has complex shape or loading condition. This study, therefore, suggests an improved analysis discrete model, named Equivalent Truss Model (further as "ETM"), which can obtain similar results with analyzing continuums analysis. ETM adopts a lattice truss to compose the members of the model, and analyses the structures. As a consequence, the ETM produced the identical outcome with the continuums analysis in section force of different structures and loading conditions. Similar results have been shown in internal stress analysis as well. Make use of that ETM is discrete, fractural path of beam was analyzed by ETM and the result was reasonable.

PURPOSES : A geo-grid pavement, e.g., a stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), can be applied to an asphalt-overlay method on the existing surface-pavement layer for pavement maintenance related to reflection cracking. Reflection cracking can occur when a crack in the existing surface layer influences the overlay pavement. It can reduce the pavement life cycle and adversely affect traffic safety. Moreover, a failed overlay can reduce the economic value. In this regard, the objective of this study is to evaluate the bonding properties between the rigid pavement and a SAMI by using the direct shear test and the pull-off test. The predicted fractural energy functions with the shear stress were determined from a numerical analysis of the moving average method and the polynomial regression method. METHODS : In this research, the shear and pull-off tests were performed to evaluate the properties of mixtures constructed using no interlayer, a tack-coat, and SAMI with fabric and without fabric. The lower mixture parts (describing the existing pavement) were mixed using the 25-40-8 joint cement-concrete standard. The overlay layer was constructed especially using polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement. It was composed of an SMA aggregate gradation and applied as the modified agent. The sixth polynomial regression equation and the general moving average method were utilized to estimate the interlayer shear strength. These numerical analysis methods were also used to determine the predictive models for estimating the fracture energy. RESULTS : From the direct shear test and the pull-off test results, the mixture bonded using the tack-coat (applied as the interlayer between the overlay layer and the jointed cement concrete) had the strongest shear resistance and bonding strength. In contrast, the SAMI pavement without fiber has a strong need for fractural energy at failure. CONCLUSIONS : The effects of site-reflection cracking can be determined using the same tests on cored specimens. Further, an empirical-mechanical finite-element method (FEM) must be done to understand the appropriate SAMI application. In this regard, the FEM application analy pavement-design analysis using thesis and bonding property tests using cored specimens from public roads will be conducted in further research.

This study was performanced to investigate the fractural and fatigue behavior of ultra-strength steel fiber reinforcement concrete. The tension softening diagram can describe the post-cracking behavior of concrete in tension. In this paper, Three points bending tests with a notch have been carried out to investigate tensile properties of the steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) according to variation of the height. Poly-linear approximation method combined with FEM analysis is applied to the steel fiber reinforced concrete to determine the tension softening diagrams and also to certify the validity of the method. The simulated load-CMOD curves using the determined softening diagrams though the poly-linear approximation method completely agree with the measured ones.

This paper presents some important issues in modeling rock behaviour around an underground opening at depth which characterized as stress-induced fractural failure of rock. Unlike other conventional modeling approaches, stress-induced rock failure is highly complex process due to its own heterogeneous and discrete natures. Because of this complexity, many researchers has been struggled to mimic such processes as close as possible to reality with various approaches in both analytical, and numerical approaches for past few decades. Such approaches which are based on continuum mechanics, analytical fracture mechanics, and DEM(Discrete Element Method) were explored in this paper, and fundamental shortcomings for each approaches were illustrated here. In addition, DEM approach using $PFC^{2D}$(Particle Flow Code) was also implemented and illuminated in this paper and discuss the improvement and considerations for the future research.

The fracture analysis of $SiN_x$ layers, which were deposited by low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (LT-PECVD) and could be used for an encapsulation layer of a flexible organic light emitting display (OLED), was performed by an electrical method. The specimens of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure were prepared using Pt and ITO electrodes. We stressed MIM specimen mechanically by bending outward with a bending radius of 15mm repeatedly and measured leakage current through the top and bottom electrodes. We also observed the cracks, were generated on surface, by using optical microscope. Once the cracks were initiated, the leakage current started to flow. As the amount of cracks increased, the leakage current was also increased. By correlating the electrical leakage current in the MIM specimen with the bending times, the amount of cracks in the encapsulation layer, generated during the bending process, was quantitatively estimated and fracture behavior of the encapsulation layer was also closely investigated.

This paper presents a simple and efficient two-dimensional rigid-body-spring network model able to accurately estimate the fractural behavior of civil fiber reinforced pavements. The proposed rigid-body-spring network model, denoted as RBSN model, considers civil fiber reinforcing materials using the beam elements and link spring elements. The RBSN method is able to model collapse due to asphalt crushing and civil fiber slip. The RBSN model is used to predict the applied load-midspan deflection response of civil fiber retrofitted asphalt specimen subjected to the three-point bending. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements are compared to based on tests available in the literature. The numerically simulated responses agree significantly with the corresponding experimental results until the maximum load. However, It should be mentioned that, in order to more accurately predict the postpeak flexural behavior of the civil fiber retrofitted asphalt pavement, development of the advanced model to simulate the slip relationship between civil fiber and asphalt is required.

PURPOSE. The aims of this study were to investigate mechanical properties and hydrothermal degradation behaviour of the cubic-containing translucent yttrium oxide stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four groups of Y-TZP (T, ST, XT, and P), containing different amount of cubic crystal, were examined. Specimens were aged by autoclaving at 122℃ under 2 bar pressure for 8 h. Phase transformation was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to measure phase transformation (t→m). Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the difference. Surface hardness, biaxial flexural strength, and fracture toughness in values among the experimental groups and verified with Wilcoxon matched pairs test for hardness values and Mann Whitney U for flexural strength and fracture toughness. RESULTS. XRD analysis showed no monoclinic phase in XT and P after aging. Only Group T showed statistically significant decreases in hardness after aging. Hydrothermal aging showed a significant decrease in flexural strength and fracture toughness in group T and ST, while group XT and P showed no effect of aging on fractural strength and fracture toughness with P<.05. CONCLUSION. Hydrothermal aging caused reduction in mechanical properties such as surface hardness, biaxial flexural strength, and fracture toughness of Y-TZP zirconia. However, cubic-containing zirconia (more than 30% by volume of cubic crystal) was assumed to have high resistance to hydrothermal degradation. Clinical significance: Cubic-containing zirconia could withstand the intraoral aging condition. It could be suggested to use as a material for fabrication of esthetic dental restoration.

Despite the significant features of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs), including better mechanical, fractural, and durability performance, their high content of cement has restricted their use in the construction industry. Although ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is considered the main supplementary cementitious material, its slow pozzolanic reaction stands against its application. The addition of nano-sized mineral modifiers, including nano-silica (NS), is an alternative to address the drawbacks of using GGBFS. The main object of this empirical and numerical research is to examine the effect of NS on the strain-hardening behavior of cementitious composites; ten mixes were designed, and five levels of NS were considered. This study proposes a new method, using a four-point bending test to assess the use of nano-silica (NS) on the flexural behavior, first cracking strength, fracture energy, and micromechanical parameters including interfacial friction bond strength and maximum bridging stress. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used for monitoring the initiation and propagation of the cracks. In addition, to attain a deep comprehension of fiber/matrix interaction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was used. It was discovered that using nano-silica (NS) in cementitious materials results in an enhancement in the matrix toughness, which prevents multiple cracking and, therefore, strain-hardening. In addition, adding NS enhanced the interfacial transition zone between matrix and fiber, leading to a higher interfacial friction bond strength, which helps multiple cracking in the composite due to the hydrophobic nature of polypropylene (PP) fibers. The findings of this research provide insight into finding the optimum percent of NS in which both ductility and high tensile strength of the composites would be satisfied. As a concluding remark, a new criterion is proposed, showing that the optimum value of nano-silica is 2%. The findings and proposed method of this study can facilitate the design and utilization of green cementitious composites in structures.

파괴 인성 실험은 상아질-복합레진 계면의 파절 저항성을 평가할 수 있는 임상적으로 신뢰 할 만한 방법이다. 본 연구의 목적은 상아질-레진 계면의 파괴인성과 미세인장결합강도를 측정하여 이 두 실험방법이 상아질-레진 결합을 평가하는 데 가지는 유용성을 비교, 평가하는 것이다 파괴 인성 측정에는 short-rod 시편 형태를 이용하였다. 각 시편에서는 소의 하악절치에서 절단한 치아 절편을 포함시켜 결합면을 얻었다. 미세인장 결합강도 또한 소의 하악절치 순면을 연마하여 상아질을 노출시킨 후 상아질 접착제를 도포하고 레진 블록을 축조하여 측정하였다. 각 시편들은 $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에 24시간 보관한 후 각 실험방법에 맞게 인장력을 가하여 측정치를 구하였다. 통계분석은 95% 신뢰수준의 ANOVA와 Tukey's test를 이용하였으며, 두 실험방법의 상관관계를 보기 위해 Pearson's 상관계수를 계산하였다. 전자현미경 검사를 통해 미세구조 또한 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 파괴인성은 SE군이 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, Adper Single Bond 2 (SB), OptiBond Solo (OB) ONE-STEP PLUS (OS), ScotchBond Multi-purpose (SM)군 순으로 나타났고, Clearfil SE Bond (SE)군은 다른 실험군에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었으나 (p <0.05), 다른 실험군 사이에는 유의차가 없었다 (p > 0.05). 2. 미세인장결합강도는 SE군이 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, SB, OB, SM, 그리고 OS 순으로 나타났다. SB, OB, SM, SE군 사이에는 통계학적인 유의차가 없었으나 (p > 0.05), OS군의 미세인장결합강도는 다른 4개의 실험군에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었다 (p < 0.05). 3. FE-SEM관찰에서 피막도가 두껍게 나타난 SM군, SE군과 피막도가 얇은 OS군, OB군, SB군 간에 파괴양상이 다르게 나타났다 즉 전자는 접착층 내 파괴가 일어난 반면, 후자는 resin tag나 레진 침투층 내에서 파절되는 양상을 나타내었다. 4. 파괴 인성과 미세인장결합강도 사이에는 통계학적으로 유의 한 상관 관계가 없었다 ($r^2=0.223$, t=0.927). 이와 같은 결과를 토대로, 상아질 접착제의 임상적 효율성을 평가하고자 할 때는 결합강도 뿐만 아니라. 파괴인성도 함께 고려하여 임상적용의 예견성을 높여야 한다고 결론내릴 수 있다.
