The elastic modulus is an important parameter to characterize the property of rock. It is common knowledge that the strengths of rocks are significantly different under tension and compression. However, little attention has been paid to the bi-modularity of rock. To validate whether the rock elastic moduli in tension and compression are the same, Brazilian disc, direct tension and compression tests were conducted. A horizontal laser displacement meter and a pair of vertical and transverse strain gauges were applied. Four types of materials were tested, including three types of rock materials and one type of steel material. A comprehensive comparison of the elastic moduli based on different experimental results was presented, and a tension-compression anisotropy model was proposed to explain the experimental results. The results from this study indicate that the rock elastic modulus is different under tension and compression. The ratio of the rock elastic moduli under compression and tension ranges from 2 to 4. The rock tensile moduli from the strain data and displacement data are approximate. The elastic moduli from the Brazilian disc test are consistent with those from the uniaxial tension and compression tests. The Brazilian disc test is a convenient method for estimating the tensile and compressive moduli of rock materials.

In this study, the electromechanical properties in Sn-Cu double layer stabilized GdBCO coated conductor (CC) tapes with and without external lamination under uniaxial tension were examined at 77 K and self-field. Their irreversible stress and strain limits were determined using a loading-unloading scheme based on different critical current ($I_c$) recovery criteria. The repeated tests were performed and statistical estimation was done to check the reproducibility depending on the criterion adopted in evaluating the electromechanical properties. From the results, it showed that the Sn-Cu double-layer stabilized CC tapes have the higher irreversible stress limit, but lower irreversible strain limit as compared to brass laminated ones. Through the repeated tests, it can be found that a small scattering of irreversible limits existed in both CC tape samples. Finally, similar strain sensitivity of $I_c$ in both CC tapes was obtained.

In recent years, the crack accidents of earth and rockfill dams occur frequently. It is urgent to study the tensile strength and tensile failure mechanism of the gravelly soil in the core for the anti-crack design of the actual high earth core rockfill dam. Based on the self-developed uniaxial tensile test device, a series of uniaxial tensile test was carried out on gravelly soil with different gravel content. The compaction test shows a good linear relationship between the optimum water content and gravel content, and the relation curve of optimum water content versus maximum dry density can be fitting by two times polynomial. For the gravelly soil under its optimum water content and maximum dry density, as the gravel content increased from 0% to 50%, the tensile strength of specimens decreased from 122.6 kPa to 49.8 kPa linearly. The peak tensile strain and ultimate tensile strain all decrease with the increase of the gravel content. From the analysis of fracture energy, it is proved that the tensile capacity of gravelly soil decreases slightly with the increasing gravel content. In the case that the sample under the maximum dry density and the water content higher than the optimum water content, the comprehensive tensile capacity of the sample is the strongest. The relevant test results can provide support for the anti-crack design of the high earth core rockfill dam.

Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on sandstone-CGFB composite samples with different interface angles, and their strength, acoustic emission (AE), and failure characteristics were investigated. Three macro-failure patterns were identified: the splitting failure accompanied by local spalling failure in CGFB (Type-I), the mixed failure with small sliding failure along with the interface and Type-I failure (Type-II), and the sliding failure along with the interface (Type-III). With an increase of interface angle β measured horizontally, the macro-failure pattern changed from Type-I to Type-II, and then to Type-III, and the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus generally decreased. Due to the small sliding failure along with the interface in the composite sample with β of 45°, AE events underwent fluctuations in peak values at the later post-peak failure stage. The composite samples with β of 60° occurred Type-III failure before the completion of initial compaction stage, and the post-peak stress-time curve initially exhibited a slow decrease, followed by a steep linear drop with peaks in AE events.

The optimal strain energy function was obtained by comparing the results of the analysis using the strain energy functions obtained by uniaxial tensile and equibiaxial tensile tests on gasket materials used in hydrogen fuel cells, with the results measured using a contact pressure measurement sensor. At this time, even when only the uniaxial tensile test was conducted, Yeoh could obtain the most accurate results even by conducting only the uniaxial tensile test. Using this, an analysis of the cross section of the gasket used in stack confirmed a safe contact pressure and no deformation on the separator. In the future, research will be conducted to verify the gasket durability by reliability evaluation.

Water-rock interactions have a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of rocks. In this study, uniaxial compression and tension tests on different water-treated sandstone samples were conducted. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring and micro-pore structure detection were carried out. Water-rock interactions and their effects on rock mechanical behavior were discussed. The results indicate that water content significantly weakens rock mechanical strength. The sensitivity of the mechanical parameters to water treatment, from high to low, are Poisson ratio (𝜇), uniaxial tensile strength (UTS), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), elastic modulus (E), and peak strain (𝜀). After water treatment, AE activities and the shear crack percentage are reduced, the angles between macro fractures and loading direction are minimized, the dynamic phenomenon during loading is weakened, and the failure mode changes from a mixed tensile-shear type to a tensile one. Due to the softening, lubrication, and water wedge effects in water-rock interactions, water content increases pore size, promotes crack development, and weakens micro-pore structures. Further damage of rocks in fractured and caved zones due to the water-rock interactions leads to an extra load on the adjoining coal and rock masses, which will increase the risk of dynamic disasters.

Slime is produced by excavation during the installation of embedded piles, and it tends to mix with the cement paste injected into the pile shafts. The objective of this study is to investigate the strength and stiffness characteristics of cement pasteslime mixtures. Mixtures with different slime ratios are prepared and cured for 28 days. Uniaxial compression tests and elastic wave measurements are conducted to obtain the static and dynamic properties, respectively. The uniaxial compressive strengths and static elastic moduli of the mixtures are evaluated according to the curing period, slime ratio, and water-cement ratio. In addition, dynamic properties, e.g., the constrained, shear, and elastic moduli, are estimated from the compressional and shear wave velocities. The experimental results show that the static and dynamic properties increase under an increase in the curing period but decrease under an increase in the slime and water-cement ratios. The cement paste-slime mixtures show several exponential relationships between their static and dynamic properties, depending on the slime ratio. The bearing mechanisms of embedded piles can be better understood by examining the strength and stiffness characteristics of cement paste-slime mixtures.

확장된 존스 행렬법을 응용하여 등방성 매질과 이방성 매질의 경계면에서 투과계수를 근사적인 방법을 사용하지 않고 정확히 계산하였다. 광학 이방성이 작은 경우($|n_e-n_o|\;{\ll}\;n_o,\;n_e$), 계산된 투과계수가 근사식에 의한 투과계수와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 정확한 투과계수 표현을 사용하여 임의의 편광상태로 입사한 빛이 단축이방성 a-판을 투과한 후의 편광상태를 임의의 입사각과 방위각에 대하여 계산하였다. 또한 광축이 수직으로 교차된 이상적인 두 o-타입 편광자에 편광되지 않은 빛이 투과한 경우 투과율을 임의의 입사각과 방위각에서 계산한 후, 기존의 근사식과 비교하였고, 완전하지 않은 두 편광자의 소광계수와 두께의 변화에 따른 투과율을 계산하여 실제의 편광자를 상정한 소광도를 평가하였다. 근사식이 적용되지 않는 이방성이 큰 이방성 매질을 통과한 후의 빛의 편광상태를 분석할 때 적용될 수 있도록 정확한 투과계수를 사용하는 방법을 제시함으로써 액정 디스플레이 분야 광소자의 편광 분석에 기여하고자 하였다.

대구지역에 분포하는 고유이방성 셰일(shale)의 점재하지수 및 일축․압축강도 특성을 평가하기 위한 일련의 실험실 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 시험시편의 크기효과 및 형태효과를 조사하기 위하여 축방향 및 직경방향으로 점재하지수를 측정하였다. 일반적으로 직경방향의 점재하지수는 길이/직경(L/D)비가 대략 1.0 이상일때 일정한 값을 보이고 축방향 점재하 시험 결과 L/D비의 증가에 따라 평균 점재하지수가 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 L/D비가 1.0 이상이면 corner파괴가 발생하였다. 최소의 점재하지수는 층리면이 연직과 이루는 각 ($\beta$)이 $15^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$에서 나타났고 ${\beta}=30^{\circ}$에서 최소의 일축압축강도가 얻어졌다. $\beta$ 값의 범위가 $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$인 시편의 점재하지수와 일축압축강도를 측정하여 이들의 상호관계를 회귀분석하였다. 층리면을 $0^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$까지 변화시키면서 측정한 점재하지수는 일축압축강도와 선형적인 관계인 ${\sigma}_c=25.0 I_{s(50)}$로 나타났다. 한편, 층리각($\beta$)를 90${^{\circ}}$로 고정시킨 상태에서의 이들의 상관성은 ${\sigma}_c=14.4 I_{s(50)}$로 나타났는데, 이는 ISRM(1985)에서 추천하는 층리가 없는 무결암 시료에 대한 일반적인 상관성, ${\sigma}_c=22 I_{s(50)}$과는 많은 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 일축압축강도의 이방성 모형은 기존의 Ramamurthy(1993)이론에 지수 'n'을 도입하여 n= 3을 적용 했을때 측정결과와 잘 부합되는 결과를 얻었다.
