The anisotropic behavior of rocks is primarily attributed to the directional arrangement of rock-forming minerals and the distribution characteristics of microcracks. Notably, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks often exhibit distinct transverse isotropy in terms of their strength and deformation characteristics. Consequently, it is crucial to gain accurate insights into the deformation and failure characteristics of transversely isotropic rocks during rock mechanics design processes. The deformation of such rocks is described by five independent elastic constants, which are determined through laboratory testing. In this study, the characteristics of the directional variation of apparent elastic constants in transversely isotropic rocks were investigated using experimental data reported in the literature. To achieve this, the constitutive equation proposed by Mehrabadi & Cowin was introduced to calculate the apparent elastic constants more efficiently and systematically in a rotated Cartesian coordinate system. Four transversely isotropic rock types from the literature were selected, and the influence of changes in the orientation of the weak plane on the variations of the apparent elastic modulus, apparent shear modulus, and apparent Poisson's ratio was analyzed. Based on the investigation, a new constraint on the elastic constants has been proposed. If the proposed constraint is satisfied, the directional variation of the apparent elastic constants in transversely isotropic rocks aligns with intuitive predictions of their tendencies.

초경합금은 기계적 성질이 다른 WC의 분상상과 Co의 결합상으로 구성되어 있다. 만일 이합금이 거시적으로 균일하게 변형을 하면, 각 상들은 이들의 응력상태에 따라 다르게 변형될 것이다. 따라서 WC-Co 합금의 변형특성과 강화기구를 명확히 알기 위해서는 각상의 미시적 변형과 파괴기구를 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 시편에 굽힘하중을 가하여, X선 회절로 분산상인 WC상 및 결합상인 Co상의 X선적 탄성정수와 응력정수를 측정하였다. WC-Co합금중의 WC상과 Co상의 상응력은 WC(112)면과 CO(311)면의 회절로서 결정하였다. 그리고 이 상응력들을 복합법칙의 적용가능성에 대하여 검토하였다.

To know the importance of soil paramters which are used to estimate the deformation and porepressure of soil, the sensitivity for soil parameters in elastic analysis is analyzed. Using the consolidation teat results of several cohesive soils, soil parameters are estimated by back analysis method, and from the parameters the deformations and porepressures of the soil are estimated by elastic analysis, In elastic analysis for soil-deformation and porepressure, the sensitivity for the Young's modulus is large, and the esimation of Young's modulus is more important in pro- portion to the size of stress. Using the measured results during initial short period in small stress, the soil parameters can be correctly estimated by back analysis method. To decrease the iteration number in back analysis and to get the better paramters, the initial measurements in more nodes are required and the more accurate initial measurements are required.

In the present study, we investigated the effects or hydrostatic pressure and stacking sequence on the elastic work factor to determine compressive fracture toughness of graphite/epoxy laminated composites in the hydrostatic pressure environment. The stacking sequences used were unidirectional. $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{88}$ and multi-directional, $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}/\pm/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{11s}$. The hydrostatic pressures applied for a $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{88}$ case were 0.1 MPa, 70MPa, 140MPa. and 200MPa. The hydrostatic pressures applied for a $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}/\pm/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{11s}$ case were 0.1MPa, 100MPa, 200MPa, and 300MPa. It was found that the elastic work factor was not affected by the hydrostatic pressure and the stacking sequence. Also, it was found that the elastic work factor decreased in a linear fashion with delamination length.

등가선형이론을 이용한 지진응답해석은 사용의 간편함 때문에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 대부분의 입력 정수들이 경험식에 의해 얻어지고 있어 심각한 오류를 발생시킬 여지가 있다. 입력정수를 실험의 결과로부터 얻을수 없다면 합리적인 방법을 통하여 입력 정수를 결정하여야 하며, 또한 입력 정수들이 해석결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입력정수가 해석결과에 미치는 영향에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 해석은 등가선형화 이론에 기초하여 개발한 액상화 해석프로그램(KLIq)을 이용하였다. 검토된 사항은 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 영향, 변형률의 영향, 반복계산에서 유효변형률 결정방법, 최대전자탄성계수의 영향, 변형률 의존곡선(자반의 종류)의 영향, 입력 지질파의 영향 등이다.

This study investigated the effect of deep-sea environment on the compressive characteristics of polymer matrix composite. The specimens used in the experiment were thick Carbon-Epoxy composites that were made from Carbon-Epoxy prepregs. The specimens were immersed into seawater for thirteen months. The seawater content at saturation was about 1.2% of the specimen weight. The hydrostatic pressures applied were 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 270 MPa. It was found that the compressive elastic modulus increased about 10% as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 200 MPa. The modulus increased additional 2.3％ as the pressure increased to 270 MPa. It was also found that compressive fracture strength and compressive fracture strain increased with pressure in a linear behavior. Compressive fracture strength increased 28％ and compressive fracture strain increased 8.5％ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 270 MPa.

Elastic moduli and behavioral characteristics changes of very widely according to stress level resulting from uniaxial compressive test of sedimentary rock. This means that elastic moduli do not indicate constants but variables. More appropriate and reasonable outcome will be accepted through loading-reloading test in design and construction progress. An attention for behavioral characteristics of elastic moduli shown in low level of stress should be paid.

This is a comparative study on the characteristics of excavated soils, which is proceeded using soil strength parameter by literature, geotechnical investigation, standard penetration test by drilling, and downhole test by borehole at six sites in urban areas. The results of these site surveys are used as basic data for the evaluation and development of prediction of ground subsidence risk. Geotechnical properties are estimated with the result of standard penetration test-N value and literature. The dynamic geotechnical characteristics are also estimated with top-down seismic exploration at borehole.

A meso-scale analysis method using the natural element method is proposed for the analysis of material damage of brittle microcracking solids. The microcracking is assumed to occur along Voronoi edges in the Voronoi diagram generated using the nodal points as the generators. The mechanical effect of microcracks is considered by controlling the material constants in the neighborhood of the micorcracks. The macro elastic moduli of isotropic solids containing a number of randomly distributed microcracks are calculated considering the effect of microcrack closure to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
