The 2D representative volume element (RVE) for softening quasi-brittle materials like concrete is determined. Two alternative methods are presented to determine a size of RVE in concrete subjected to uniaxial tension by taking into account strain localization. Concrete is described as a heterogeneous three-phase material composed of aggregate, cement matrix and bond. The plane strain FE calculations of strain localization at meso-scale are carried out with an isotropic damage model with non-local softening.

In-plane ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) was devised to measure in-plane deformations and rotation of a specimen with laser in this study. ESPI is a optical measuring method to be able to measure the deformations of engineering components and materials in industrial fields. The conventional measuring methods of surface deformations such as the strain gauge have many demerits because they are contact and point-to-point measuring ones. But that ESPI is noncontact, nondestructive and whole field measuring method can overcome previous disadvantages. We used ESPI which is sensitive to in-plane displacement for measuring in-plane deformations of a disk. And the 4-frame phase shifting method was used for the quantitative analysis. First of all, the system calibration was done due to an in-plane rotation before getting deformations of a disk. Finally we showed good agreement between the experiment results and those of the FEA(Finite Element Analysis).

분포형 음향 센싱(distributed acoustic sensing, DAS)은 광섬유 케이블을 수신기로 활용하는 탐사기술로서, 석유탐사 및 지진분야에서 모니터링 목적으로 활발히 적용되고 있다. 최근에는 지하매질의 물성정보를 도출하기 위해 분포형 음향 센싱 자료를 활용한 전파형역산 연구가 수행되고 있다. 분포형 음향 센싱은 광섬유 케이블 상의 두 점 간의 위상 차이에 의한 변형률을 측정하기 때문에, 기존 전파형역산 알고리즘에 직접 활용하기 어렵다. 분포형 음향 센싱 자료를 전파형역산에 활용하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 평면파 가정에서의 변형률과 수평입자속도의 관계식을 이용한 평면파 전파형역산 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 수치실험을 통해 평면파 가정에서의 변형률과 입자속도 간의 관계식이 성립함을 확인하였다. 다양한 탐사환경에서 분포형 음향 센싱 자료에 대한 전파형역산의 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위해, 육상 및 해저면 탄성파 탐사 환경을 모사한 4층 및 수정된 Marmousi-2 속도모델을 이용하였다. 제안된 전파형역산을 통해 육상 및 해저면 탄성파 탐사 환경하에서 P파 및 S파 속도구조를 정확히 도출할 수 있었다.

Theoretical and numerical assessments of approximate evaluations and simplified analyses of piezoelectric structures transverse shear modal effective electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) are presented. Therefore, the latter is first introduced theoretically and its approximate evaluations are reviewed; then, three-dimensional (3D) and simplified two-dimensional (2D) plane-strain (PStrain) and plane-stress (PStress) piezoelectric constitutive behaviors of electroded shear piezoceramic patches are derived and corresponding expected short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) frequencies and resulting EMCC are discussed; next, using a piezoceramic shear sandwich beam cantilever typical benchmark, a 3D finite element (FE) assessment of different evaluation techniques of the shear modal effective EMCC is conducted, including the equipotential (EP) constraints effect; finally, 2D PStrain and PStress FE modal analyses under SC and OC electric conditions, are conducted and corresponding results (SC/OC frequencies and resulting effective EMCC) are compared to 3D ones. It is found that: (i) physical EP constraints reduce drastically the shear modal effective EMCC; (ii) PStress and PStrain results depend strongly on the filling foam stiffness, rendering inadequate the use of popular equivalent single layer models for the transverse shear-mode sandwich configuration; (iii) in contrary to results of piezoelectric shunted damping and energy harvesting popular single-degree-of-freedom-based models, transverse shear modal effective EMCC values are very small in particular for the first mode which is the common target of these applications.

This paper presents the differences in growth of time-dependent strain values in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and pre-stressed concrete (PSC) flexural members through experiment. It was observed that at any particular age, the time-dependent strain values were less in RCC beams than in PSC beams of identical size and grade of concrete. Variables considered in the study were percentage area of reinforcement, span of members for RCC beams and eccentricity of applied pre-stress force for PSC beams. In RCC beams the time-dependent strain values increases with reduction in percentage area of reinforcement and in PSC beams eccentricity directly influences the growth of time-dependent strain. With increase in age, a non-uniform strain develops across the depth of beams which influence the growth of concave curvature in RCC beams and convex curvature in PSC beams. The experimentally obtained strain values were compared with predicted strain values of similar size and grade of plane concrete (PC) beam using ACI 318 Model Code and found more than RCC beams but less than PSC beams.

To reflect the size effect of material $(1\sim15{\mu}m)$ during plastic deformation of polycrystalline copper, a constitutive equation which includes the strain gradient plasticity theory and intrinsic material length model is coupled with the finite element analysis and applied to plane strain deformation problem. The method of least square has been used to calculate the strain gradient at each element during deformation and the effect of distributed force on the strain gradient is investigated as well. It shows when material size is less than the intrinsic material length $(1.54{\mu}m)$, its deformation behavior is quite different compared with that computed from the conventional plasticity. The generation of strain gradient is greatly suppressed, but it appears again as the material size increases. Results also reveal that the strain gradient leads to deformation hardening. The distributed force plays a role to amplify the strain gradient distribution.

Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) is a common method for measuring out-of-plane deformation and in-plane deformation and applied for vibration analysis and strain/stress analysis. However, ESPI is sensitive to environmental disturbance, which provide the limitation of industrial application. On the other hand, Shearography based on shearing interferometer which is insensitive to vibration disturbance can directly measure the first derivative of out-of-plane deformation. In this paper a technique that extract out-of-plane deformation from results of shearography by numerical processing is proposed and measurement results of ESPI and Shearoraphy are compared quantitatively.

공중투하법으로 만든 등방압밀 모래공시체를 평면변형률 압축시험을 실시하여 강도.변형특성의 이방성을 연구하였다. 세계 각국의 주요 연구기관에서 사용되고 있는 7종류의 연구용 표준시공시체를 최대주응력방향(e,)의 변형률과 최소주응력방향(e3)의 변형률을 각각 $10^{-60}에서\; 10^{-2}$ 까지 상세히 측정하였다. 그 결과,실험한 모든 모래에 대하여 변형률 0. 001%이하까지의 변형률에 있어서는 최대주응력이 퇴적면과 이루는 각도 5에 관계없이 탄성적.등방적인 거동을 나타내었다. 그러나, 변형률이 증가하여 탄성한계를 넘어면 점차퍽으로 이방적인 성질을 띄게 되고 마침내 피크에 도달하면 최대내부마찰각 $\phi_{max}은 \delta가\; 90^{\circ}에서 0^{\circ}$로 감소함에 따라 감소하고 그 최소치와 최대치의 비는 0.82-0.90 사이에 있었다. 또, $\phi_{max}$값의 최소치는 모래의 종류에 따라 $ \delta=0^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$ 사이에 있었다. 그러나, 잔류상태에 도달하면 모래는 다시 등방적인 거동을 하여 $\pji는\delta$에 크게 의존하지 않고 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었다.

Methodology based on the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics has been widely accepted in predicting the critical crack length(CCL) of pressure tubes of CANDU nuclear plants. A conservative estimate of CCL is obtained by employing the J-resistance curves measured with the specimens satisfying plane strain condition as suggested in the ASTM standard. Due to limited thickness of the pressure tubes the curved compact tension(CT) specimens taken out from tile pressure tube have been used in obtaining J-resistance curves. The curved CT specimen inevitably introduce slant fatigue crack during precracking. Hence, effect of specimen geometry and slant crack on J-resistance curve should be explored. In this study, the difference of J integral values between the standard CT specimens satisfying plane strain condition and the nonstandard curved CT with limited thickness (4.2mm) is estimated using finite element analysis. The fracture resistance curves of Zr-2.5Nb obtained previously by other authors are critically discussed. Various finite element analysis were conducted such as 2D analysis under plane stress and plane strain conditions and 3D analysis for flat CT, curved CT with straight crack and curved CT with slant crack front. J-integral values were determined by local contour integration near the crack tip, which was considered as accurate J-values. J value was also determined from the load versus load line displacement curve and the J estimation equation in the ASTM standard. Discrepancies between the two values were shown and suggestion was made for obtaining accurate J values from the load line displacement curves obtained by the curved CT specimens.
