A mixed volume and boundary integral equation method (Mixed VIEM-BIEM) is used to calculate the plane elastostatic field in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing an isotropic or anisotropic inclusion and a void subject to remote loading parallel to the traction-free boundary. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the isotropic matrix and the isotropic or orthotropic inclusion is carried out for different values of the distance between the center of the inclusion and the traction-free surface boundary in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing three different geometries of an isotropic or orthotropic inclusion and a void. The method is shown to be very accurate and effective for investigating the local stresses in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing multiple isotropic or anisotropic inclusions and multiple voids.

Purpose: This technical report aims to describe and detail the use of micro-computed tomography for a reliable evaluation of the bulk-fill composite/tooth interface. Materials and Methods: Bulk-fill composite restorations in tooth cavities were scanned using micro-computed tomography to obtain qualitatively and quantitatively valuable information. Two-dimensional information was processed using specific algorithms, and ultimately a 3-dimensional (3D) specimen reconstruction was generated. The 3D rendering allowed the visualization of voids inside bulk-fill composite materials and provided quantitative measurements. The 3D analysis software VG Studio MAX was used to perform image analysis and assess gap formation within the tooth-restoration interface. In particular, to evaluate internal adaptation, the Defect Analysis addon module of VG Studio Max was used. Results: The data, obtained with the processing software, highlighted the presence and the shape of gaps in different colours, representing the volume of porosity within a chromatic scale in which each colour quantitatively represents a well-defined volume. Conclusion: Micro-computed tomography makes it possible to obtain several quantitative parameters, providing fundamental information on defect shape and complexity. However, this technique has the limit of not discriminating materials without radiopacity and with low or no filler content, such as dental adhesives, and hence, they are difficult to visualise through software reconstruction.

Objectives: This study used micro-computed tomography (µCT) to compare voids and interfaces in single-cone obturation among AH Plus, EndoSequence BC, and prototype surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) sealers and to determine the percentage of sealer contact at the dentin and gutta-percha (GP) interfaces. Materials and Methods: Fifteen single-rooted human teeth were shaped using ProTaper NEXT size X5 rotary files using 2.5% NaOCl irrigation. Roots were obturated with a single-cone ProTaper NEXT GP point X5 with AH Plus, EndoSequence BC, or prototype S-PRG sealer (n = 5/group). Results: The volumes of GP, sealer, and voids were measured in the region of 0-2, 2-4, 4-6, and 6-8 mm from the apex, using image analysis of sagittal µCT scans. GP volume percentages were: AH Plus (75.5%), EndoSequence BC (87.3%), and prototype S-PRG (94.4%). Sealer volume percentages were less: AH Plus (14.3%), EndoSequence BC (6.8%), and prototype S-PRG (4.6%). Void percentages were AH Plus (10.1%), EndoSequence BC (5.9%), and prototype S-PRG (1.0%). Dentin-sealer contact ratios of AH Plus, EndoSequence BC, and prototype S-PRG groups were 82.4% ± 6.8%, 71.6% ± 25.3%, and 70.2% ± 9.4%, respectively. GP-sealer contact ratios of AH Plus, EndoSequence BC, and prototype S-PRG groups were 65.6% ± 29.1%, 80.7% ± 25.8%, and 87.0% ± 8.6%, respectively. Conclusions: Prototype S-PRG sealer created a low-void obturation, similar to EndoSequence BC sealer with similar dentin-sealer contact (> 70%) and GP-sealer contact (> 80%). Prototype S-PRG sealer presented comparable filling quality to EndoSequence BC sealer.

Voids in a large rotor are formed in solidification process of a cast ingot. The voids have to be eliminated from the rotor by a forming process, because they would became stress-intensity factors which suddenly fracture the rotor in the operation. Previous studies on void-elimination of a large rotor have mainly focused on finding the process variables affecting the void-closure. But the study on the amount of void closure in a large rotor has been very rare. This study was performed to obtain an equation which predicts the amount of void-closure in a forging process of a large rotor and to evaluate the availability of the void-closure equation through finite element analyses. Firstly, 2D FE analysis was carried out to find effects of time integral of hydrostatic stress and effective strain on void volume rate of a large rotor in the upsetting process for various diameters and shapes of void, and material temperature. From the 2D FE analysis, we found that effective strain was suitable for predicting the void-closure of a large rotor, because there was a constant relationship between void volume rate and effective strain. And a void-closure equation was proposed fur predicting void-closure of a large rotor in the upsetting process. Finally, ken the 3D FE analysis, the proposed void-closure equation was verified to be useful for upsetting and cogging processes.

최근 도로 교통소음 대책으로 다공성포장이 새로운 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 다공성포장은 아스팔트 혼합물 속에 세립자의 비율을 줄여서 여러 개의 공극을 형성하게 하는 포장을 말한다. 이 공극으로 물이 배수되게 하여 교통사고를 줄이고 타이어 노면의 마찰 소음을 줄여주는 역할을 하게 된다. 저소음포장이 일반적으로 활발히 적용되기 위해서는 소음저감 효과에 대한 많은 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 단층 저소음포장과 복층 저소음포장의 소음저감 효과를 분석하기 위해서 수행되었다. 먼저 단틍 저소음포장과 복층 저소음포장이 시공되어 있는 세종구간을 선정하고 도로변에서 도로교통 소음을 측정하는 방식인 SPB방법으로 교통소음을 측정하였다. 교통영향요소로는 교통량, 속도 그리고 중차량 혼입률을 측정하였다. 측정결과, 복층저소음포장이 단층저소음포장보다 평균 7.95dB(A) 작게 평가되었다. 95% 신뢰도 수준에서는 7.57dB(A) 작게 평가되었다. 도로교통 소음에 미치는 영향요소로는 속도나 대형차 혼입률 보다는 교통량이 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤다. 교통량이 증가할수록 소음은 모두 증가했지만 두 포장 사이의 소음차이는 점차 감소하였다. 도로교통소음에 영향을 미치는 요소로는 교통요소보다 도로포장의 차이가 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서 도로교통 소음을 줄이기 위한 대책으로 교통속도를 줄이거나 중차량의 통행을 제한하거나 교통량을 줄이는 것보다 도로포장을 바꾸는 것이 가장 효과적인 방법임을 알았다. 이를 검증하고 정량화하기 위한 광범위한 연구가 필요하다.

The two-dimensional deformation of a homogeneous, isotropic thermoelastic half-space with voids with variable modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity subjected to thermomechanical boundary conditions has been investigated. The formulation is applied to the coupled theory(CT) as well as generalized theories: Lord and Shulman theory with one relaxation time(LS), Green and Lindsay theory with two relaxation times(GL) Chandrasekharaiah and Tzou theory with dual phase lag(C-T) of thermoelasticity. The Laplace and Fourier transforms techniques are used to solve the problem. As an application, concentrated/uniformly distributed mechanical or thermal sources have been considered to illustrate the utility of the approach. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical inversion technique to obtain the components of displacement, stress, changes in volume fraction field and temperature distribution in the physical domain. The effect of dependence of modulus of elasticity on the components of stress, changes in volume fraction field and temperature distribution are illustrated graphically for a specific model. Different special cases are also deduced.

Increasingly numerical (finite element) modeling of concrete hinges on our ability to develop a representative volume element with all its heterogeneity properly discretized. Yet, despite all the sophistication of the ensuing numerical models, the initial discretization has been for the most part simplistic. Whenever the heterogeneity of the concrete is to be accounted for, a mesh is often manually crafted through the arbitrary inclusion of the particles (aggregates and/or voids) in an ad-hoc manner. This paper develops a mathematical strategy to precisely address this limitation. Algorithms for the random generation and placement of elliptical (2D) or ellipsoid (3D) inclusions, with possibly radiating cracks, in a virtual concrete model are presented. Collision detection algorithms are extensively used.

This study was conducted to derive quantitative air void volume calculation techniques in various complexes with porosity. Calculation of voids in a complex is an essential factor in improving mechanical properties, and quantitative measurement techniques are needed because the environment is not constant to apply the currently used ASTM criteria. Using the analysis technique obtained through 2D image analysis, it is believed that meaningful results can be derived through Micro CT analysis results and cross-check later.

Purpose: Foam concrete is the concrete that contains large amount of air voids inside. In general, the density of foam concrete depends on parameters like water/binder ratio, foam volume, aggregate and pozzolan content, etc. Method: In this study, the effect of foam volume and fly ash content on dry density is investigated intensively in order to find the relationship between each parameter and their abilities to counteract with each other. According to the above information, though there are quite a number of studies on the effect micro fiber on foam concrete at low volume fractions, there is still lack of information especially on the high fiber content side. The objective of the second study is to investigate further on the use of micro fiber at higher volume fraction and fill in the lacking information. Beside from this study, the investigation of the effect of micro-fiber (polypropylene) to enhance the properties of foam concrete is also carried out. Result: Of the two variables that are investigated in this study, the foam volume and the fly ash content, show significant effect on the properties of foam concrete. The foam volume tends to decrease the density and strength of foam concrete. In the second part of our study, a large fibre volume fraction is proved to be able to evidently increase the flexural strength of foam concrete up to about 40% due to the effect of fibre bridging over the crack and a significant number of fibres that intercepts the crack surfaces. However, the compressive strength is found to decrease severely due to the occurrence of large pores as the result of fibre being added into concrete mixture.
