The fracture energy evaluated from the previous experimental results can be simulated by using the modified singular fracture process zone (S-FPZ) model. The fracture model has two fracture properties of strain energy release rate for crack extension and crack close stress versus crack width relationship $f_{ccs}(w)$ for fracture process zone (FPZ) development. The $f_{ccs}(w)$ relationship is not sensitive to specimen geometry and crack velocity. The fracture energy rate in the FPZ increases linearly with crack extension until the FPZ is fully developed. The fracture criterion of the strain energy release rate depends on specimen geometry and crack velocity as a function of crack extension. The behaviors of micro-cracking, micro-crack localization and full development of the FPZ in concrete can be explained theoretically with the variation of strain energy release rate with crack extension.

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.

Non-contacting, laser-based resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (L-RUS) was applied to characterize the microstructure of a material. L-RUS is widely used by virtue of its many features. Firstly, L-RUS can be used to measure mechanical damping which related to the microstructural variations (grain boundary, grain size, precipitation, defects, dislocations etc). Secondly, L-RUS technology can be applied to various areas, such as the noncontact and nondestructive quality test for precision components as well as noncontact and nondestructive materials characterization. In addition, L-RUS technology can measure the whole field resonant frequency at once. In this paper, we evaluated material characteristics such as resonant frequency, nonlinear propagation characteristic through the development of Laser-Based Resonant Ultrasound spectroscopy (Laser-RUS) System for the detection of Micro Crack in Materials.

In this paper, the post cracking stress-crack width relationship of the composite is studied from a micromechanics points of view. Cook-Gordon debonding effect is studied by more refined method with considering of chemical friction of fiber interface. As a result, fiber with pre-debonding length retards stress development and shows more wide crack width for the same force level. longer pre-debonding length and lower pre-debonding bond strength results in lower full-debonding force, but same crack width.

In the present paper computational simulation of a concrete dam is performed to determine the effect of vertical ground motions on earthquake response of concrete dams. Cyclic and dynamic versions of the plastic-damage model proposed by Lee and Fenves are used to represent micro-crack development and crack opening/closing, which is important mechanism in nonlinear damage analysis of concrete structures subject to strong earthquake loading. The result shows that the vertical component of ground motion effects on final crack patterns and consequently, on displacement response.

기존 비파괴평가 기술의 결함 탐지 한계를 극복하기 위하여 비선형 초음파공명 특성을 이용한 미세 균열 진단 기술을 개발하였다. 가진 전압에 따른 초음파공명 주파수의 천이현상과 정규화 공명 진폭 감소 현상을 비선형 초음파공명 특성 파라미터로 제안하였으며 이를 실험적으로 확인하였다. CT 시편에 피로시험을 통하여 미세한 자연 균열을 생성하였으며 피로 사이클 단계마다 초음파공명주파수와 정규화 공명진폭의 변화를 측정하였다. 무결함 또는 10 ${\mu}m$ 정도의 매우 미세한 균열이 존재하는 시편에서는 초음파공명 주파수 천이현상이나 정규화 공명 진폭의 변화가 나타나지 않는 반면에 30 ${\mu}m$급 이상의 미세 균열 시편에서는 균열 크기가 증가함에 따라 초음파공명주파수의 천이 현상이나 정규화 공명 진폭의 감소량이 증가함을 확인하였다.

Non-destructive tests are commonly used in construction industry to access the quality and strength of concrete. However, till date there is no non-destructive testing method that can be adopted to evaluate the bond condition of reinforced concrete beams. In this regard, the presented research work details the use of ultra-sonic pulse velocity test method to evaluate the bond condition of reinforced concrete beam. A detailed experimental research was conducted by testing four identical reinforced concrete beam samples. The samples were loaded in equal increments till failure and ultra-sonic pulse velocity readings were recorded along the length of the beam element. It was observed from experimentation that as the cracks developed in the sample, the ultra-sonic wave velocity reduced for the same path length. This reduction in wave velocity was used to identify the initiation, development and propagation of internal micro-cracks along the length of reinforcement. Using the developed experimental methodology, researchers were able to identify weak spots in bond along the length of the specimen. The proposed method can be adopted by engineers to access the quality of bond for steel reinforcement in beam members. This allows engineers to carryout localized repairs thereby resulting in reduction of time, cost and labor needed for strengthening. Furthermore, the methodology to apply the proposed technique in real-world along with various challenges associated with its application have also been highlighted.

To enhancing efficiency of hard chrome plating solution more highly, cathode current efficiency were surveyed connected with hardness of deposits, surface morphology, TEM analysis and corrosion test of anode materials. Efficiency war increased up to 26% values by adding catalyst and two kind of additives. With given bath composition and 6$0^{\circ}C$, 60A/d$\m^2$ electrolosis conditionss bright and micro cracked deposits were well obtained, which showed HV 1000 values. From corrosion tests, anode materials such as Pb-Te (0.02%) and Pb-Ag(1%) showed most anti-corrosive results. Through SEM micrograph observations, ef-fects of additives on levelling, brightness and micro crack properties of hard chrome deposits could be con-firmed. Also, through TEM analysis the fact that deposits from crack free solution or high speed solution were more fine than from sargent solution could be confirmed.

An apparatus was developed to repetitively apply a $-196^{\circ}C$ thermal load to coupon-sized mechanical test specimens. Using this device, IM7/5250-4 (carbon / bismaleimide) cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates were submerged in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) 400 times. Ply-by-ply micro-crack density, laminate modulus, and laminate strength were measured as a function of thermal cycles. Quasi-isotropic samples of IM7/977-3 (carbon / epoxy) composite were also manually cycled between liquid nitrogen and an oven set at $120^{\circ}C$ for 130 cycles to determine whether including elevated temperature in the thermal cycle significantly altered the degree or location of micro-cracking. In response to thermal cycling, both materials micro-cracked extensively in the surface plies fellowed by sparse cracking of the inner plies. The tensile modulus of the IM7/5250-4 specimens was unaffected by thermal cycling, but the tensile strength of two of the lay-ups decreased by as much as 8.5%.

Due to fast growth in urbanisation, a highly developed infrastructure is essential for economic growth and prosperity. One of the major problems is to preserve, maintain, and retrofit these structures. To meet the requirements of construction industry, the basic information on all the mechanical properties of various concretes is essential. This paper presents the details of development of various concretes, namely, normal strength concrete (around 50 MPa), high strength concrete (around 85 MPa) and ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) (around 120 MPa) including their mechanical properties. The various mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, fracture energy and tensile stress vs crack width have been obtained from the respective test results. It is observed from the studies that a higher value of compressive strength, split tensile strength and fracture energy is achieved in the case of UHSC, which can be attributed to the contribution at different scales viz., at the meso scale due to the fibers and at the micro scale due to the close packing of grains which is on account of good grading of the particles. Micro structure of UHSC mix has been examined for various magnifications to identify the pores if any present in the mix. Brief note on characteristic length and brittleness number has been given.
