Generally, fracture of a material is influenced by plastic zone size developed near the crack tip. Hence, according to the relative size of plastic zone in the material, the mechanics as a tool for analyzing the fracture process are classified into three kinds, that is, Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics, Large Deformation Fracture Mechanics. Even though the plastic zone size is such an important parameter, the practical measurement techniques are very limited and the one for in-situ measurement is not virtually available. Therefore, elastic-plastic FEA has been performed to estimate the plastic zone size. In this study, it is noticed that side necking at the surface is a consequence of plastic deformation and lateral contraction and the relation between the plastic zone and side necking is investigated. FEA for modified boundary layer models with finite thickness, various mode mixities $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ and strain hardening exponent n=3, 10 are performed. The results are presented and the implication regarding to application to experiment is discussed.

This study introduces a new algorithm to determine size independent values of fracture energy, fracture toughness, and fracture process zone length in three-point bending specimens with shallow to deep notches. By using the exact beam theory, a concept of equivalent notch length is introduced for specimens with no notches in order to predict the peak loads with acceptable precisions. Moreover, the method considers the variations of fracture process zone length and effects of higher order terms of stress field in each specimen size. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the use of some recently developed size effect laws raises some concerns due to the use of nonlinear regression analysis. By using a comprehensive fracture test data, provided by Hoover and Bazant, the algorithm has been assessed. It could be concluded that the proposed algorithm can facilitate a powerful tool for size effect study of three-point bending specimens with different notch lengths.

The progressive failure following strain localization in concrete can be analyzed effectively using finite element modeling of fracture process zone of concrete with a finite element embedded discontinuity. In this study, a finite element with embedded discontinuous line is utilized for the analysis of progressive failure in concrete. The finite element with embedded discontinuity is a kind of discrete crack element, but the difficulties in discrete crack approach such as remeshing or adding new nodes along with crack growth can be avoided. Using a discontinuous shape function for this element, the displacement discontinuity is embedded within an element and its constitutive equation is modeled from the modeling of fracture process zone. The element stiffness matrix is derived and its dual mapping technique for numerical integration is employed. Then, a finite element analysis program with employed algorithms is developed and failure analysis results using developed finite element program are verified through the comparison with experimental data and other analysis results.

In this paper, the fracture toughness and mechanisms of failure in a random SiC-whisker/$Al_{2}O_3$ ceramic composite were investigated using in situ observations during mode I(opening) loading. $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite was obtained by hot press sintering of $Al_{2}O_3$ powder and SiC whisker as the matrix and reinforcement, respectively. The whisker and powder were mixed using a turbo mill. The composite was produced at SiC whisker volume fraction of $0.3\%$. Compared with monolithic $Al_{2}O_3$, fracture toughness enhancement was observed in $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite. This improved fracture toughness was attributed to SiC whisker bridging and crack deflection. $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite exhibited typically brittle fracture behavior, but a fracture process zone was observed in this composite. This means that the load versus load-line displacement curve of $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite from a fracture test may involve a small non-linear region near the peak load.

경량기포콘크리트(ALC : Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete)의 내구성을 개선하기 위하여 투숩 및 투수, 편면동결융해 특성과 탄산화 특성을 실험하였다. 국산 ALC전용마감재는 방수용 도장재에 가까운 투습 및 투수성질을 갖고 있어 특성의 개선이 요구된다. 편면동결융해시험에서 마감재의 투습도에 따른 열화위치는 투습도가 클수록 외측에서 발생하였으나 투수에 의한 외부의 박리열화는 관찰되자 않았다. 탄산화는 수분의 함량이 작을수록 빠르게 진행되었으며 탄산화가 진행됨에 따라 기공량은 감소하였다. 탄산화가 완전히 진행되면 부피의 팽창으로 균열이 발생하였다.

이 연구에서는 기존의 콘크리트 실험에서 평가된 파괴에너지를 수정 특이-파괴진행대 이론에 대해 해석하였다. 수정 특이-파괴진행대 이론은 균열성장에 대한 에너지해방률과 균열면의 파괴진행에 대한 균열면응력-균열폭 관계의 두 파괴특성을 필요로 한다. 해석결과 균열면응력-균열폭 관계는 시험편의 형상과 균열속도에 민감하지 않았다. 파괴진행대에서 파괴에너지율은 파괴진행대가 완전히 형성될 때까지 균열성장길이에 선형으로 증가하였으며, 이후에는 파괴에너지밀도로 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 변형에너지방출률은 시험편의 형상과 균열속도에 큰 변화를 보였으며, 균열속도에 대해서는 선형의 대수함수로 표현될 수 있다. 균열성장에 대한 변형에너지방출률의 변화는 다른 실험의 미세균열의 성장과 국부화 그리고 완전 파괴진행대의 형성에 대한 이론적인 근거를 보여준다.

During the blasting process, a fracture zone is formed in the vicinity of the blast hole. Any damage that extends beyond the excavation boundary line necessitates the implementation of an additional support system to assure safety. Typically, fracture zone radius is estimated from blast hole pressure using theoretical methods due to its simplicity. However, linear charge concentration (kg/m) is used for tunnel blasting. This paper compiles Swedish experimental datasets to estimate the radius of fracture zones based on linear charge concentration. Further numerical analyses are performed in LS-DYNA for coupled single-hole blasting. The Riedel-Hiermaier-Thoma (RHT) model has been selected as the constitutive model for this investigation. The numerical model is validated against small-scale laboratory tests. Parametric studies are conducted to predict fracture zones in granite and sandstone rocks using two kinds of explosives, PETN and AFNO. The analyses evaluate ten types of blast hole sizes, ranging from 17 to 100 mm. The results indicate that granite has a larger fracture zone than sandstone, and the PETN explosive predicts more damage than ANFO. Smaller blast holes exhibit smaller fracture zones in comparison to larger blast holes. Wave propagation is more rapidly attenuated in granite than in sandstone. Subsequently, the predicted fracture zone outcomes are compared with the empirical dataset. Fracture zones of medium blast hole diameter align well with the experimental data set. A predictive equation is derived from the data set, which may be used to evaluate blast design to manage fracture zones beyond the excavation line.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the true fracture energy and monitor the damage progression in steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens using acoustic emission (AE) features. Four point bending test is carried out using pre-notched plain and fibre reinforced (0.5% and 1% volume fraction) - concrete under monotonic loading. AE sensors are affixed at different locations of the specimens and AE parameters such as rise time, AE energy, hits, counts, amplitude and duration etc. are obtained. Using the captured and processed AE event data, fracture process zone is identified and the true fracture energy is evaluated. The AE data is also employed for tracing the damage progression in plain and fibre reinforced concrete, using both parametric- and signal- based techniques. Hilbert - Huang transform (HHT) is used in signal based processing for evaluating instantaneous frequency of the acoustic events. It is found that the appropriately processed and carefully analyzed acoustic data is capable of providing vital information on progression of damage on different types of concrete.

균열선단에 발생하는 손상역은 재료의 파괴인성 메카니즘을 알 수 있게 하는 중요한 영역이다. 본 연구에서는 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 균열선단 손상역의 생성 및 성장 과정을 음향방출법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 고무함량은 5 wt%와 15 wt%로 하였고, 3점 굽힘시험편을 사용하여 모드 I 파괴시험에 대한 각 시험편의 파괴인성값을 구하였다. 또한, 균열선단의 손상역과 그 내부의 고무입자 변형상태를 편광현미경과 원자력간 현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였다. 고무변성 에폭시 수지의 균열선단부의 손상역은 파괴하중의 약 13 % 하중에서 생성이 되어, 약 57 % 하중까지 균열개시 없이 성장하였다. 57 % 하중 근처에서 개시만 균열은 최대하중부근까지 고착-활강거동을 반복하면서 안정 / 불안정 파괴로 진전하였다 이 과정에서 발생한 음향방출신호의 시간-주파수 분석결과, 고투입자 내부에서의 케비테이션 생성단계에서 주파수대역은 0.15 ∼ 0.20 MHz 이었고, 그 후의 안정 및 불안정시의 주파수 대역은 0.20∼0.30MHz 이었다.
