In this study, considering dissipated energy in fracture process zone (FPZ), a novel criterion based on maximum strain energy release rate (SER) for orthotropic materials is presented. General case of in-plane loading for cracks along the fibers is assumed. According to the experimental observations, crack propagation is supposed along the fibers and the reinforcement isotropic solid (RIS) concept is employed as a superior model for orthotropic materials. SER in crack initiation and propagation phases is investigated. Elastic properties of FPZ are extracted as a function of undamaged matrix media and micro-crack density. This criterion meaningfully links between dissipated energy due to toughening mechanisms of FPZ and the macroscopic fracture by defining stress intensity factors of the damaged zone. These coefficients are used in equations of maximum SER criterion. The effect of crack initiation angle and the damaged zone is considered simultaneously in this criterion and mode II stress intensity factor is extracted in terms of stress intensity factors of damage zone and crack initiation angle. This criterion can evaluate the effects of FPZ on the fracture behavior of orthotropic material. Good agreement between extracted fracture limit curves (FLC's) and available experimental data proves the ability of the new proposed criterion.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of internal fixation with tension band wiring for the fracture at the base of fifth metatarsal bone. Materials and Methods: From January 2008 to December 2009, 15 cases with displaced fracture at the base of fifth metatarsal were analyzed and average follow up period was 13.8 months. Lawrence classification was used to classify fracture type. We evaluated clinical results by American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score and radiological results by union time. Complications was also checked. Results: According to classification, zone I fracture were 11 cases and zone II fracture were 4 cases. Bony union was achieved in all cases after 7 weeks. In the final follow-up, average AOFAS score was 94. There were no complications except hardware irritation. Conclusion: Satisfactory results were obtained after tension band wiring for the fifth Metatarsal base fracture in zone I fracture or comminuted zone II fracture for which it is not easy to be fixed with screw.

The effect of porosity on the crack propagation is studied by using the cohesive zone model. Standard mode I fracture test were done by using compact tension specimens with various porosities. Load-load line displacement curves and ${\delta}_5$-crack resistance curves for various porosities were obtained from experiments. The cohesive zone model proposed by Xu and Needleman was employed to describe the crack propagation in porous media, and the Gurson model is used for constitutive relation of porous materials. These models were implemented into user subroutines of a finite element program ABAQUS. The fracture mode changes from ductile fracture to brittle fracture as the porosity increases. Numerical calculations agree well with experimental results.

In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to study the effect of volume fraction of fiber and maximum aggregate size on mode-I fracture parameters of high strength concrete. Total of 108 beams were tested on loading frame with three point loading, the variables in the high strength concrete beams are aggregate size (20 mm, 16 mm and 10 mm) and volume fraction of fibers (0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%). The fracture parameters like fracture energy, brittleness number and fracture process zone were analyzed by the size effect method (SEM). It was found that fracture energy (Gf) increases with increasing the Maximum aggregate size and also increasing the volume of fibers, brittleness number (${\beta}$) decreases and fracture process zone (CF) increases.

A study of the evolution of overburden fractures under the solid-fluid coupling state was conducted based on the geological and mining characteristics of the coal seam depth, weak strata cementation, and high-intensity mining in the mining areas of West China. These mining characteristics are key to achieving water conservation during mining or establishing groundwater reservoirs in coal mines. Based on the engineering background of the Daliuta Coal Mine, a non-hydrophilic simulation material suitable for simulating the weakly cemented rock masses in this area was developed, and a physical simulation test was carried out using a water-sand gushing test system. The study explored the spatial distribution and dynamic evolution of the fractured zone in the mining overburden under the coupling of stress and seepage. The experimental results show that the mining overburden can be vertically divided into the overall migration zone, the fracture extension zone and the collapse zone; additionally, in the horizontal direction, the mining overburden can be divided into the primary fracture zone, periodic fracture zone, and stop-fracture zone. The scope of groundwater flow in the overburden gradually expands with the mining of coal seams. When a stable water inrush channel is formed, other areas no longer generate new channels, and the unstable water inrush channels gradually close. Finally, the primary fracture area becomes the main water inrush channel for coal mines. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overlying rock breaking above the middle of the mined-out area allows the formation of the water-conducting channel. The water body will flow into the fracture extension zone with the shortest path, resulting in the occurrence of water bursting accidents in the mining face. The experimental research results provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of water conservation mining or the establishment of groundwater reservoirs in western mining areas, and this theoretical basis has considerable application and promotion value.

이 연구에서는 초정지역의 충적층 지하수와 관련된 풍화대분포를 파악하고 단층파쇄대 조사를 위해 복합물리탐사(탄성파굴절법, 전기비저항, 지하투과레이더탐사)를 수행하였다. 탄성파속도 정보로부터 풍화대는 대상지역의 남서부로 갈수록 깊어지는 것으로 나타나는데 기반암까지의 심도 즉 풍화대의 두께는 또한 기존의 시추자료 및 지하수위 자료와 거의 일치한다. 소규모 단층과 관련된 파쇄대 조사에서는 탄성파굴절법, 전기비저항, 레이더탐사 자료를 속도와 비저항 구조를 복합적으로 천부까지 해석하여 단층파쇄대의 지표 경계등을 파악하였다. 복합 지구물리탐사로 정확히 제시된 풍화대와 파쇄대 등에 대한 정보는 충적층 지하수의 분포를 알아내는데 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

연암 파쇄대는 암반 사면이나 흙막이 공법에서 중요한 요소 중의 하나이지만, 흙막이 벽체의 안정성 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 연암 파쇄대에 설치된 조건과 연암 파쇄대에 미설치된 조건에 따른 흙막이 벽체의 거동을 비교 분석하기 위하여 현장 계측데이터와 흙과 구조물의 상호작용을 고려한 유한요소법으로 수치해석 등을 실시하였다. 그 결과 흙막이 벽체에 작용하는 수평변위는 현장 계측결과와 파쇄대 조건의 수치해석 결과와는 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 변위 지점 응력분포는 파쇄대 조건에서는 안정측으로 해석되었지만, 파쇄대 미조건에서는 불안정으로 결과가 도출되었다. 이 연구결과를 추후 설계 시 현장의 안전을 최우선으로 한 시공에 적용하는데 목적이 있다.

터널구조물은 굴착 주변 지반의 강도를 활용하는 구조물로서 지반특성이 가장 중요하다. 단층파쇄대와 같은 취약한 지반 조건이 터널 굴착 구간에 존재하는 경우, 특히 단층파쇄대와 지하수 용출이 동시에 발생하는 조건에서는 터널 굴착 중 과다변위 또는 붕락 등이 자주 발생한다. 이러한 단층파쇄대는 터널 굴착 중 변위 및 붕락의 방향을 결정해주는 중요한 요인이 된다. 단층파쇄대의 규모 및 지표부와의 방향성에 따라 터널 거동 특성이 결정되고 이와 더불어 지하수 용출이 발생되는 경우에는 터널 굴착 중 발생되는 변위 및 붕락 특성이 시간 의존적인 거동을 하게 되는 결정적인 요인이 된다. 단층파쇄대 구간에서 지하수 용출을 해석적인 방법으로 예측하거나 지하수 용출과 단층파쇄대의 상호거동을 분석하였을 경우에 정확하게 예측을 하기가 어렵다. 따라서 단층파쇄대와 지하수가 동시에 발생하는 구간에서는 해석적인 분석방법으로는 한계가 있으므로 실제 시공사례를 분석하여 거동을 종합적으로 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 단층파쇄대의 위치에 따른 실제 터널 거동 특성을 분석하였다.

Rubber-modified epoxy resins have been employed as adhesive and matrix materials for glass and corbon-fiber composites. The behavior of fracture around a crack tip for rubber-modified epoxy resin is investigated through the acoustic emission (AE) analysis of compact tension specimens. Damage zone and rubber particles distributed around a crack tip were observed by a polarized optical microscope and an atomic force microscope (AFM). The damage zone in front of pre-crack tip in rubber-modified specimen $(15wt\%\; rubber)$ began to form at about $13\%$ level of the fracture load and grew in size until $57\%$ load level. After that, the crack propagated in a stick-slip manner. Based on time-frequency analysis of AE signals and microscopic observation of damage zone, it was thought that AE signals with frequency bands of 0.15-0.20 MHz and 0.20­0.30 MHz were generated from cavitation in the damage zone and crack propagation, respectively.
