지하에 공동을 건설하는 터널 공사의 경우 초기 응력의 집중 및 발파와 같은 시공단계에서의 과도한 에너지의 적용으로 인하여 주변 암반에 손상을 발생시킨다. 이러한 손상의 발생은 터널에 작용하는 하중 및 터널 주변 암반의 흐름조건에 상당한 영향을 끼친다. 이러한 이유로 터널 주변에 발생하는 손상구간에 대하여 다양한 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 유사암석으로 제작된 공동이 존재하는 절리모델의 이축압축실험을 통하여 공동주변의 손상발생을 연구하였다. 절리면은 수평면과 $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$의 조건으로 형성되었으며, 초조강시멘트 재료를 이용하여 유사절리모델을 제작하였다. 이축압축 실험결과 공동주변에서는 절리면에 수직한 방향으로 인장균열의 발생이 관측되었으며, 균열의 진행으로 인하여 암반블록이 형성되었으며, 진행하는 인장균열이 다른 절리면에 도달하여 암반블록이 완전히 형성된 경우 탈락하는 과정을 보였다. 이러한 인장균열의 진전은 절리면의 각도에 따라 상이한데 절리면의 각도가 클수록 안정적이며 진행성의 균열 진전 양상이 관측되었다. 이러한 인장균열의 발달은 절리면으로 구성된 암편을 보로 가정 할 경우 공동의 곡률로 인한 기하학적 형상의 불규칙성으로 인하여 모멘트가 작용하는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 실험결과를 입자요소해석 방법을 기반으로 하는 PFC 2D를 이용하여 모사하였다. 해석결과 실험에서 관측한 바와 같이 절리면 각도가 작을수록 손상대의 폭은 넓어지며 인장균열의 진행에 의한 암반블록의 형성이 관측되었다. 또한 상호작용이 발생하는 균열을 조사한 결과 수치해석에서도 절리면의 각도가 작은 조건에서 진행성의 파괴가 나타났다.

This study experimentally and numerically investigated the tensile damage progress in stitched laminates. In particular, it focused on the effects of stitching on the damage progress. First, we experimentally confirmed that ply cracks and delamination appeared under load regardless of stitching. We then performed damage-extension simulation for stitched laminates using a layer-wise finite element model with stitch threads as beam elements, in which the damage (ply cracks and delamination) was represented by cohesive elements. A detailed comparison between observation and the simulated results confirmed that stitching had little effect on the onset and accumulation of ply cracks. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the stitch threads significantly suppressed the extension of the delamination.

A cracked composite specimen, comprised of an epoxy and an aluminium plate, was fractured under a tensile load. In this paper, two crack configurations were investigated. The first was an artificial center crack positioned in the epoxy plate parallel to the material interface. The other was for two edge cracks in the epoxy plate, again, parallel to the interface. A tensile test was carried out by gradually increasing the applied load and it was verified that the cracks always moved suddenly in an outward direction from the interface. The d/a ratio was gradually reduced to zero, and it was confirmed that the maximum stress intensity factor value for the artificial center crack, $K_{{\theta}{\theta}}^{max}$, approached that of an artificial interface crack,$K_{{\theta}{\theta}}^{ifc\;max}$ (where: 2a is the crack length and d is the offset between the crack and interface). The same phenomenon was also verified for the edge cracks. Specifically, when the offset, d, was reduced to zero, the maximum stress intensity factor value, $K_{{\theta}{\theta}}^{max}$, approached that of an artificial interface edge crack.

In this paper, the interaction between two neighboring tunnel has been investigated using PFC2D. For this purpose, firstly calibration of PFC was performed using Brazilian experimental test. Secondly, various configuration of two neighboring tunnel was prepared and tested by biaxial test. The maximum and minimum principle stresses were 0.2 and 30 MPa respectively. The modeling results show that in most cases, the tensile cracks are dominant mode of cracks that occurred in the model. With increasing the diameter of internal circle, number of cracks decreases in rock pillar also number of total cracks decreases in the model. The rock pillar was heavily broken when its width was too small. In fixed quarter size of tunnel, the crack initiation stress decreases with increasing the central tunnel diameter. In fixed central tunnel size, the crack initiation stress decreases with increasing the quarter size of tunnel.

Precut을 가지고 있는 고무 시편에서 서로 다른 온도에서 인장 강도의 영향을 조사하였다. 온도 조건에 따라 precut이 있는 시편과 precut이 없는 시편의 인장 강도는 서로 다른 거동을 보였다. $80^{\circ}C$에서는 임계 Precut 크기보다 더 큰 precut를 가지는 시편은 상온에서 시편보다 높은 인장 강도를 보였다. 상온에서 측정한 시편에 비하며 $80^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 시편은 잘 발달된 2차 균열들을 가지고 있는 반면, $110^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 시편의 경우 2차 균열들이 명확하게 발달하지 못하였다. 서로 다른 온도에서 인장강도의 차이는 인장시 발달된 결정화도와 균열 끝 부분에서 형성된 미세 균열 형상과 관계가 있는 것으로 보인다.

Three points bending flexural test was modeled numerically to study the crack propagation in the pre-cracked beams. The pre-existing edge cracks in the beam models were considered to investigate the crack propagation and coalescence paths within the modeled samples. The effects of particle size on the single edge-notched round bar in bending test were considered too. The results show that Failure pattern is constant by increasing the ball diameter. Tensile cracks are dominant mode of failure. These crack initiates from notch tip, propagate parallel to loading axis and coalescence with upper model boundary. Number of cracks increase by decreasing the ball diameter. Also, tensile fracture toughness was decreased with increasing the particle size. In the present study, the influences of particles sizes on the cracks propagations and coalescences in the brittle materials such as rocks and concretes are numerically analyzed by using a three dimensional particle flow code (PFC3D). These analyses improve the understanding of the stability of rocks and concretes structures such as rock slopes, tunnel constructions and underground openings.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 패널에서의 0.1 mm 이하의 미세균열은 구조적 문제점은 없으나, 미관은 물론 장기적으로 내구성을 저하시키는 요인이 될 수 있으므로, 이의 보수를 위한 추가비용이 발생할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 미세균열의 발생을 개선하고자 폴리머 시멘트 콘크리트를 적용하여 휨인장강도를 증진시킴으로써 초기 균열하중을 증대시킴으로써, 초기 시공하중에 의한 미세균열 발생을 최소화 하였다. 그 결과 폴리머-시멘트비 5%를 적용하였을 경우의 균열저항모멘트가 증가함에 따라 초기 시공하중에 의한 균열 발생을 제어할 수 있었다.

The stress-strain behavior and its effects on the crack initiation and growth of ITO film on PET substrate with a sheet resistance of 45 ohms/sq were investigated. Electrical resistance increased gradually at the strain of 0.7% in the elastic to plastic transition region of the stress strain curves. Numerous cracks were observed after 1% strain and the increase of the resistance can be linked to the cracking of ITO thin films. The onset strain for the increase of resistance increased with increasing strain rate, suggesting the crack initiation is dependent on the strain rate. Upon loading, the initial cracks perpendicular to the tensile axis were observed and propagated the whole sample width with increasing strain. The spacing between horizontal cracks is thought to be determined by the fracture strength and the interfacial strength between ITO and PET. The crack density increased with increasing strain. The spacing between horizontal cracks (perpendicular to the stress axis) increased with decreasing strain rate, The increase of crack density with decreasing strain rate can be attributed to the higher fraction of the plastic strain to the total strain at a given total strain. As the strain increased over 5% strain, cracks parallel to the stress axis were developed and increased in number with strain, accompanied by drastic increases of resistance.

In this paper an approach was described for determination of direction of sliding block in rock slopes containing planar non-persistent open joints. For this study, several gypsum blocks containing planar non-persistent open joints with dimensions of $15{\times}15{\times}15cm$ were build. The rock bridges occupy 45, 90 and $135cm^2$ of total shear surface ($225cm^2$), and their configuration in shear plane were different. From each model, two similar blocks were prepared and were subjected to shearing under normal stresses of 3.33 and $7.77kg/cm^{-2}$. Based on the change in the configuration of rock-bridges, a factor called the Effective Joint Coefficient (EJC) was formulated, that is the ratio of the effective joint surface that is in front of the rock-bridge and the total shear surface. In general, the failure pattern is influenced by the EJC while shear strength is closely related to the failure pattern. It is observed that the propagation of wing tensile cracks or shear cracks depends on the EJC and the coalescence of wing cracks or shear cracks dominates the eventual failure pattern and determines the peak shear load of the rock specimens. So the EJC is a key factor to determine the sliding direction in rock slopes containing planar non-persistent open joints.

In this paper, the tensile failure behaviour of transversally bedding layers was numerically simulated by using particle flow code in two dimensions. Firstly, numerical model was calibrated by uniaxial, Brazilian and triaxial experimental results to ensure the conformity of the simulated numerical model's response. Secondly, 21 circular models with diameter of 54 mm were built. Each model contains two transversely bedding layers. The first bedding layer has low mechanical properties, less than mechanical properties of intact material, and second bedding layer has high mechanical properties, more than mechanical properties of intact material. The angle of first bedding layer, with weak mechanical properties, related to loading direction was $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ while the angle of second layer, with high mechanical properties, related to loading direction was $90^{\circ}$, $105^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, $150^{\circ}$, $160^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. Is to be note that the angle between bedding layer was $90^{\circ}$ in all bedding configurations. Also, three different pairs of the thickness was chosen in models; i.e., 5 mm/10 mm, 10 mm/10 mm and 20 mm/10 mm. The result shows that In all configurations, shear cracks develop between the weaker bedding layers. Shear cracks angel related to normal load change from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with increment of $15^{\circ}$. Numbers of shear cracks are constant by increasing the bedding thickness. It's to be note that in some configuration, tensile cracks develop through the intact area of material model. There is not any failure in direction of bedding plane interface with higher strength.
