In this paper, an efficient yet accurate method for the thermal stress analysis using a first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) is presented. The main objective herein is to systematically modify transverse shear strain energy through the mixed variational theorem(MVT). In the mixed formulation, independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the efficient higher-order zigzag plate theory, and the in-plane displacements are assumed to be those of the FSDT. Moreover, a smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse normal displacement field in order to consider a transverse normal deformation. The resulting strain energy expression is referred to as an enhanced first order shear deformation theory, which is obtained via the mixed variational theorem with transverse normal deformation effect(EFSDTM_TN). The EFSDTM_TN has the same computational advantage as the FSDT_TN(FSDT with transverse normal deformation effect) does, which allows us to improve the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses via the recovery procedure. The thermal stresses obtained by the present theory are compared with those of the FSDT_TN and three-dimensional elasticity.

In this paper, we perform a numerical analysis to evaluate the potential of fault reactivation during gas production from hydrate bearing sediments and the moment magnitude of induced seismicity. For the numerical analysis, sequential coupling of TOUGH+Hydrate and FLAC3D was used and the change in effective stress and consequent geomechanical deformation including fault reactivation was simulated by assuming that Mohr-Coulomb shear resistance criterion is valid. From the test production simulation of 30 days, we showed that pore pressure reduction as well as effective stress change hardly induces the fault reactivation in the vicinity of a production well. We also investigated the influence of stress state conditions to a fault reactivation, and showed that normal fault stress regime, where vertical stress is relatively greater than horizontal, may have the largest potential for the reactivation. We tested one simulation that earthquake can be induced during gas production and calculated the moment magnitude of the seismicity. Our calculation presented that all the magnitudes from the calculation were negative values, which indicates that induced earthquakes can be grouped into micro-seismic and as small as hardly perceived by human beings. However, it should be noted that the current simulation was carried out using the highly simplified geometric model and assumptions such that the further simulations for a scheduled test production and commercial scale production considering complex geometric conditions may produce different results.

This paper reports the first-of-its-kind free vibration solutions for sectorial plates having re-entrant corners causing stress singularities when the circular edge is either clamped or simply supported. The Ritz method is employed with two sets of admissible functions assumed for the transverse vibratory displacements. Accurate frequencies and normalized contours of the transverse vibratory displacement are presented for the spectra of sector angles.

본 연구에서는 반무한 직선 계면균열의 상하면에 임의로 분포하는 어떠한 하 중에 대해서도 그 해석이 가능한 그린함수(Green's function)를 구하고자 한다. 이 를 위하여 반무한 직선 계면균열상의 임의의 한 점에 평면 집중하중이 작용하는 문제 와 비평면 집중전단하중이 작용하는 문제를 각각 택하였고, 이때 계면균열의 선단은 열려있다고 가정하였다. 이 문제를 풀므로써 균열선단부근의 응력성분을 결정하고 이로부터 그린함수의 의미를 지니는 응력강도계수에 대한 폐형해를 얻었다.

This study deals with elasto-plasticity of granular micro-structures which recovers continuum elasto-plasticity in its counterpart. The theory is based on doublet mechanics that assumes particles of finite size and connecting linear springs, and it makes extensions to plasticity. The result shows that the micro model has one to one relationship with the continuum model in the simplest case. Micro-strain and micro-stress of two dimensional plane stress problem were calculated, which shows the behavior of the specimen and verifies the effectiveness of this model.

This study presents results of thermal stress calculations around the uplifted province within the continental lithosphere. A set of thermal stresses for the uplifted provinces are calculated using by assumption of two dimensions along the extension of the strike. The calculations utilize thermoelastic displacement potential function. Thermal stress distribution-faulting conditions inferred from this study are consistent with the suggested surface heat flow and place an important constraint on the thermal state of the uplifted provinces within the continental lithosphere.

A small break loss of coolant accident is postulated as a pressurized thermal shock accident in this study. From the temperature and pressure histories of coolant, distributions of the temperature and stress in a vessel wall are analytically calculated. The stress intensity factor and fracture toughness of the vessel wall are determined at the crack tip using the ASME code method and they are compared to check if cracking is expected to occur during the transient postulated. The maximum allowable reference nil-ductility transition temperatures are determined for various crack sizes and the results are discussed.
