We applied the density-surfactant-motivated method to the removal of DNAPL within a rough-walled single fracture. Observations are made to compare the DNAPL residual distribution before and after the flushing of surfactant-enhanced solution or water flushing. Results show that density-motivated method with surfactant-enhanced solution effectively removed DNAPL in a single fracture.

Recent deepwater offshore structures in the Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of a welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical, as the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimation of the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally condrcted by using S-N curves, as specified in the codeds and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to the S-N approach often results in a very conservative assessment, because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fatigue life analysis using fracture mechanics has been applied in the design of the catenary risers. This technology enables the engineer to establish proper requirements on weld quality and inspection acceptance criteria to assure satisfactory structural integrity during its design life. It also provides guidance on proper design curves and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. Still, there is inconsistency when designing tubular joints using a conventional S-N approach and when specifying weld flaw acceptance criteria using fracture mechanics approach. This study developed fatigue curves that are consistent with both the S-N approach and the fracture mechanics approach. Accounting for non-uniform stress distribution and threshold stress intensity factor were key parameters in relating both approaches. A series of S-N curves, generated from the fracture mechanics approach, were compared to the existing S-N curves. For flat plate butt joint, the S-N curve generated from fracture mechanics matches with the IIW class 100 curve when initial crack depth was 0.5 mm (0.02 ). The new curves for tubular joint agree very well with the experimental results. The comparison also indicated the degree of conservatism built into the API X design curve.

Welded joint generally has heterogeneity of strength, material, and fracture toughness and it is important to understand the characteristics of material strength and fracture of welded joint considering heterogeneous effect. Characteristics of strength and fracture of an undermatched joint under dynamic loading was studied by round-bar tension tests and thermal elastic-plastic analyses in this paper. The strength and fracture of the undermatched joints should be evaluated based on the effects of the strain rate and the temperature including temperature rise during the dynamic loading. The differences of fracture characteristics like such as ductile-to-brittle transition behavior are well precisely explained from the stress-strain distribution obtained by numerical analysis.

압축하중 및 굽힘하중을 받는 유리섬유플라스틱(GFRP) 표피/ 알루미늄 하니컴 코어(GF-AH) 하이브리드 복합재료의 음향방출(AE) 특성을 다양한 파괴과정과 연결시켜 연구하였다. 표피층 파괴, 표피/코어간의 계면박리, 하니컴 알루미늄 벽의 국부적인 소성항복 좌굴 및 셀벽간의 접착수지 박리와 같은 다양한 파괴모드가 하니컴 코어/GFRP표피 복합재를 이용한 AE주파수 분포 해석과 진폭분포 해석결과를 통해 분류되었다. 높은 진폭을 가진 AE 사상율의 분포는 셀벽 접착수지의 파괴, 표피층과 심층 사이의 박리및 미세파괴, 섬유파단에 대응하였으며 다른 피크 주파수의 분포는 알루미늄 셀벽의 소성변형, 셀벽간의 마찰로부터 발생한 것이다. 결론적으로 GF-AH 하이브리드 복합재료의 파괴거동 특성은 AE기법을 활용한 비파괴 평가를 통해 분석 가능하였다.

암석의 파고역학적 특성은 암반 내의 자연균열들의 분포를 예측하거나 혹은 불연속면을 포함하는 암사면이나 지하구조물의 안정성을 해석하기 위한 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 암석의 파괴역학적의 특성의 차이를 측정하여 암종에 따른 제한적인 분포를 나타내는 자연균열에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 자연균열과 인공균열의 진행특성을 정성적 및 정량적인 기준에 의하여 분석한 결과, 기원이 다른 균열들은 성장특성에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서, 암석 파괴역학적의 이론을 이용하여 암반 내에 분포하는 균열들의 기원이나 공학적 특성을 예측하기 위해서는 먼저 충분한 지질학적인 이론과 근거가 요구됨을 알 수 있다.

To compute a permeability coefficient along a rough fracture that takes into account the fracture geometry, this study performed detailed measurements of fracture roughness using a confocal laser scanning microscope, a quantitative analysis of roughness using a spectral analysis, and a homogenization analysis to calculate the permeability coefficient on the microand macro-scale. The homogenization analysis is a type of perturbation theory that characterizes the behavior of microscopically inhomogeneous material with a periodic boundary condition in the microstructure. Therefore, it is possible to analyze accurate permeability characteristics that are represented by the local effect of the facture geometry. The Cpermeability coefficients that are calculated using the homogenization analysis for each rough fracture model exhibit an irregular distribution and do not follow the relationship of the cubic law. This distribution suggests that the permeability characteristics strongly depend on the geometric conditions of the fractures, such as the roughness and the aperture variation. The homogenization analysis may allow us to produce more accurate results than are possible with the preexisting equations for calculating permeability.

Weibull distribution function is applied very successfully to the strength of brittle materials such as ceramics and the weakest link model is applied to explain the ovents. This paper deals with the effect of specimen size on the strength of ceramics. The values of tensile strength were calculated by the Monte-Calro simuation. The tensile strength obtained was plotted on Weibull probabillity papers and represented by the 3-parameter Weibull distribution. The strength distribution function was compared with the theoretical weibull distribution. As a result, it was found that the Weibull shape parameter was changed due to the size and there was a possibility of a false indication as if the weakest link model holds good. We should be very careful when we apply the Weibull statistics to estimate the strength of products.

In this paper, we investigated the fracture distribution in indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coating with compressive bending stress on polymer. Under compressive strain, the ITO island delaminates, buckles and cracks. As the mechanical compressive stress increases, the buckling width of ITO seems to be increased. These created cracks are related to well-defined distribution of mechanical stress in ITO island-arrays. We related. mechanical bending stress to crack distribution and derived theoretical equation of position-dependent bending stress. And, we verified the bending stress's magnitude to crack distribution observed from optical photographs.

Fracture analysis of human bone is necessary to predict the failure of musculoskeletal structures and to heal them by several possible mechanisms under different loading conditions. But human bone is a complex material, with a multiphase, heterogeneous and anisotropic microstructure. Due to the difficulty of obtaining experimental and clinical results, the importance of numerical analysis and computational simulations in biomechanics are increasing gradually. In this study, stress analysis for human femur model is performed by using the 2-dimensional finite element method(FEM) and its stress distribution is determined. From these results, the fracture mechanic parameters are calculated and the fracture criteria on human femur are investigated and discussed.
