Since fatigue cracks in rail can be the source of fractures and subsequent derailments, quantitative evaluation of the fatigue behavior and fracture properities due to the analysis results of laboratory test are drawn on the basis for predicting fatigue life and making a decision of safe inspection interval. Charpy V-notch and fracture toughness behavior were evaluated from the results of Charpy impact test. Fatigue test was performed by using CT type specimen under constant amplitude loading, and finally the effects of the following parameters; crack orientation, temperature, and stress ratio, on the fatigue crack growth behavior were studied.

A comparison study is performed to understand the coupling behavior of the thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical interactions in the vicinity of an underground radwaste repository, assumed to be located at a depth of 500 m, within a granitic rock mass with a 58$^{\circ}$ dipping fault passing through the roof-wall intersection of the repository cavern. The two dimensional universal distinct element code, UDEC is used for the analysis. The model includes a granitic rock meas, a canister with PWR spent fuels surrounded by the compacted bentonite inside a deposition hole, and the mixed bentonite backfilled in the rest of the space within a repository cavern. The coupling behavior of hydromechanical, thermomechanical, and thermohydromechanical interaction has been studied and compared. The effect of the time-dependent decaying heat, from the radioactive materials in PWR spent fuels, on the repository and its surroundings has been studied. A steady state flow algorithm is used for the hydraulic analysis.

The development of proper joint model, which can describe real phenomena exactly and still can be used easily, is one of the most important element for the analysis of the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of discontinuous rock mass. In this study, an elasto-plastic constitutive model of joint behavior considering asperity degradation was extended with the concept of first and second order asperities. The proposed model was implemented to numerical code with discrete finite joint element. The parametric study with the various asperity angles and degradation coefficients showed that the model can reproduce the shear behavior of typical rough joints well. Results of laboratory monotonic and cyclic shear tests were compared with those of numerical tests to validate the model. The hydraulic model considering the relations between gouge production and aperture was introduced to the mechanical model. In an attempt to examine the performance of the model, comparative numerical test was conducted. Permeability between joint surfaces increased rapidly at the first stage, but became nearly constant with increasing shear displacement due to gouge production and uniform variation of aperture distribution.

Mechanical behavior of composition pound improved by sand compaction pile (SCP) with low replacement area ratio could be more significantly affected by mechanical interaction between sand piles and clays than that of clay ground improved by SD or SCP with high replacement area ratio. It is essential to elucidate the mechanical interaction in the improved clay ground, in order to accurately estimate behavior in reducing settlement of the improved ground and increasing strength of clays. In this paper, through a series of model tests of composition ground improved by SCP with low replacement area ratio, each mechanical behaviors of sand piles and clays in the composition ground during consolidation was elucidated, together with stress sharing behavior between sand piles and clays.

In the study, aeroelastic behaviors and aerodynamic performances of flexible airfoil in low Reynolds number environment are evaluated. To facilitate the present study, flexible airfoil in modeled through attaching massless membrane in portion of the upper CLARK-Y airfoil surface, which is often proposed low Reynolds number airfoil. The behavior of membrane in governed by aerodynamic forces and membrane equilibrium equation. Nondimensional parameter deducted by nondimensionalizing the membrane equilibrium equation, which represents the interaction between fluid and membrane has a great influence on membrane aeroelastic behavior. Changing the starting point of the membrane is conducted on aerodynamic performances. As a result, the value of nondimensional parameter should almost linearly increase according to moving the starting point of the membrane surface toward the trailing edge.

To characterize the hydro-mechanical behavior of a rock joint, a rotary shear testing apparatus was devised in this study. Shear stress was driven by twisting the end of a sample in the rotary shear testing apparatus. The test results show that the rotary shear test underestimates the peak shear strength of a rock joint. The torque is known as a function of the radial distance from the axis of rotation, resulting in the radial variation of the shear stress. Fluid flow through rock joints is mainly dependent on the Joint roughness, contact area, initial aperture. To examine the dependency, the relationship between the hydraulic and the mechanical apertures for shear-flow was established by measuring the initial aperture. It shows that the mechanical aperture and the hydraulic aperture increase linearly with the dilatancy. The difference between the hydraulic and mechanical apertures describes the deviation from the behavior predicted by the parallel plate model.

Understanding the frictional properties of rock discontinuities is crucial to ensure the stability of underground structures. In particular, the frictional behavior at depth depends on the complex interaction among mechanical, hydraulic, thermal and chemical characteristics and their coupled effects. In this study, a series of shear tests were carried out in a triaxial compression chamber to investigate the shearing behavior of saw-cut granite surface and rough shear surface of synthetic rocks. The test results were analyzed using Coulomb's shear strength criterion. The frictional behavior of saw-cut granite surface showed little variation at different confining, water pressures and temperature conditions, however in case of synthetic rocks, the frictional behavior showed different trend depending on normal stress level. In addition, the variation of stiffness and dilation at different testing conditions were analyzed, and the stiffness and dilation showed little variation at different water pressures and temperature conditions.

복합재료의 개발.실용과 더불어 야기되는 문제중에서, 특히 복합재료가 기계나 구조물에 사용될 경우에는 가장 긴요한 문제는 역시 강도, 특히 파괴와 관련된 강도문제가 되겠다. 균질재료의 파괴거동(취성파괴, 피로파괴, 환경파괴등)을 탄성학적으로 파헤치고, 또한, 나아가서는 파괴를 미연에 예방하는 탄성설계에의 적용에 이르기까지 체계화된 파괴역학을 복합재료의 파괴거동해 석이나 강도설계에 적용시켜 보자는 시도는 일찍부터 이루어져 왔었으나, 탄성적인 이질재료가 결합하는 데서 오는 수학적인 해석사이 난점으로 말미암아 파괴역학적 해석의 기초가 되는 능 력확대계수 K의 해석에서 아직까지는 답보상태에 머물고 있는 것이 현실이다. 여기에서는 복합 재료의 파괴에 파괴역학을 적용시킴에 있어서의 기초적인 사항들을 논하고, 지금까지의 이러한 방향의 연구예들을 정리해 보면서 파괴역학적인 복합재료파괴문제연구에 참고로 삼을가 한다.
