Important factor in designing a breakaway sign support is the velocity change of the impact vehicle. It is measured from the crash test or can be calculated by 3-D Finite Element Analysis. It can also be calculated with relative ease utilizing energy and momentum conservation. In this paper a formula to calculate the velocity change of a car during the time of impact against a small sign is derived utilizing the energy and momentum balance. Using the formula, parametric studies were conducted to find that impact speed, separation force and Breakaway Fracture Energy(BFE) of the posts which represent the degree of fixedness to the foundation are the important factor to vehicle's speed change. It is shown that speed change is larger in the lower speed impact and to the posts with large separation force and BFE.

This paper describes the characteristics for mode I interlaminar and intralaminar fractures of cross-ply carbon/epoxy composite laminates. We obtained mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and mode I intralaminar fracture toughness based on energy release rate and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). For this purpose, the Double-Cantilever Beam (DCB) test and FEA were performed for cross-ply DCB specimens. Also, the behavior of load-displacement curve at the interlaminar and intralaminar crack was analyzed. The results show that mode I intralaminar fracture toughness was lower than mode I interlaminar fracture toughness in the cross-ply DCB specimen.

It this study, beam-type bend specimen is used to evaluate the interlaminar fracture toughness of laminated composite under mixed-mode deformations. The specimen is loaded under three-point bending and hence produced mixed-mode deformations in the vicinity of the crack tip according to the variation of the thickness ratio on delamination plane. Total energy release rate is obtained by elementary beam theory considering the effect of shear deformation. The partitioning of total value into mode-I and mode-II components is also performed. The mixed-mode interlaminar fracture toughness is evaluated by experiments on specimens with several thickness ratios of delamination plane. As the part of delamination plane is thicker, the effect of shear deformation on total energy release rate is increased. Beam-type bend specimen men may be applied to obtain informations on the mixed-mode interlaminar fracture behavior of laminated composites.

파괴역학 연구를 대상재료에 의해 구분하면 선형파괴와 탄소성재료의 파괴로 나눌 수 있다. 취 성파괴(brittle fracture)를 다루는 선형타성 파괴역학연구는 주로 여러가지 크랙의 모양, 시편모양, 부하형태에 따른 탄성응력분포 혹은 은력확대계수를 구하거나 에너지방법에 의해 안정비안정 크랙전파를 연구한다. 대개의 경우 취성파괴는 전체 구조물에 치명적이 되기 쉽다. 따라서 구조물 설계시에 취성파괴의 가능성을 배제하기 위해 재료의 적절한 선택과 같은 대책을 강구하는 것이 바람직하다. 다시 말해, 구조물 재료는 강도와 연성의 상황에 따른 적절한 조합을 필요로 한다. 오늘날 특수합금과 같은 고강도 금속에서의 취성화 경향이 증가하나 합금설계시 강도와 아울러 연성을 증가시키기 위한 여러 대책이 파괴역학 연구의 중요한 부분을 차지한다.

Abstract To modify brittleness among the properties of thermosetting epoxy resin, a reactive additive. succinonitrile(SN) was introduced to Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)-4, 4'-methylene dianiline (MDA) system. Fracture behavior was microscopically studied during breaking of composite materials. As a result, post debond friction energy was the most significant for breaking the composite having glass fibres, pull-out energy was the next significant and debonding energy was the last. It was observed that shear stress between glass fibre and epoxy matrix was main factor for fracture behavior. Reactive additive, SN made shear stress deteriorated.

Developed is a nonlinear fracture theory which can model the complex fracture behavior of concrete. This theory is based on the nonlinear behavior due to progressive microcracking and strain-softening in the fracture process zone of concrete cracks. The simplified realistic fracture model which preserves the same fracture energy for the different fracture process zone widths is also derived. By modeling fracture through stress-strain behavior, the effect of compressive stresses parallel to the crack plane can be easily taken into account. The comparisons of the present theory with valuable fracture test data available in the literature show good agreements, and the existing linear theory exhibits in many cases large deviations from the actual test results. A simple approximate formula for the fracture energy of concrete which should, be necessary for the fracture analysis of concrete structures is derived. Finally, the application of fracture theory to reinforced concrete and the necessity of further research are discussed.

Modern structures is the tendency of being increasingly taller and larger. The concrete with large weight has the disadvantage of increasing the weight on the structure. therefore, the method of carrying out the weight saving of the concrete is required. one of such method is to use a lightweight aggregate. However, studies on structural lightweight concrete, lacking for the recognition of the lightweight concrete, so also is lacking. therefore it is necessary to study on the physical characteristic value of the lightweight concrete. In this study, in order to investigate the tensile properties of lightweight concrete, Crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) experiments were carried out. the fracture energy of the lightweight concrete subjected to inverse analysis were derived from the CMOD experimental results.
