The failure of rock mass around deep tunnel, different from shallow tunnel largely affected by discontinuities, is dominated by magnitudes and directions of stresses, and the failures dominated by stresses can be divided into ductile and brittle features according to the conditions of stresses and the characteristics of rock mass. It is important to know the range and the depth of the V-shaped notch type failure resulted from the brittle failure, such as spalling, slabbing and rock burst, because they are the main factors for the design of excavation and support of deep tunnels. The main features of brittle failure are that it consists of cohesion loss and friction mobilization according to the stress condition, and is progressive. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model has been developed in order to simulate the brittle behavior of rock mass around deep tunnel by introducing the bi-linear failure envelope cut off, elastic-elastoplastic coupling and gradual spread of elastoplastic regions. By performing a series of numerical analyses, it is shown that the depths of failure estimated by this model coincide with an empirical relation from a case study.

The nonlinear-brittle-plastic model derived from experiments as well as elastic and elasto-plastic models was applied to the analysis of the rock damaged zone around a highly stressed circular tunnel. The depths of stress redistribution and disturbed zone as well as the characteristic behaviors predicted from each numerical model were compared, As the magnitudes and stress differences of in situ stresses increased, influences of stress redistribution and stress disturbance on un(tiled region of rock mass also intensified. As a result, larger stress redistribution and disturbed zone as well as greater deviatoric stress and displacement were obtained by the nonlinear-brittle-plastic model rather than other conventional models such as elasto-plastic and elastic models. from such results, it was concluded that as the magnitudes and stress differences of in situ stresses increased, larger rock damaged zone might be predicted by the nonlinear-brittle-plastic model. Therefore, it is thought that the damage analysis may be indispensable far highly stressed tunnels.

A procedure which may be useful in dealing with problems of half plane is considered. Boundary elements are combined with nonlinear finite elements to facilitate their merits. Boundary elements for semi-infinite region are composed using the Melan's solution for half plane. Nonlinear finite elements are used to model irregularity or nonhomogeneity of elasto-plastic materials, which is usual in underground structures. In order to verify the procedure, a shallow tunnel under internal pressure is analysed using the nonlinear finite element method and combined method. It is shown that the developed procedure is accurate enough compared with other method.

Recent application researches on external pre-stressing method of composite structures have been conducted to explore its advantages. An external pre-stress could improve mechanical behavior and maintenance, and is economically efficient. In this paper, the Incremental Deformation Method (IDM) was proposed to analyze the elasto-plastic flexural behavior of externally pre-stressed composite bridge with consideration for the material's nonlinearity. This method was verified with experimental results.

In order to evaluate the integrity of nuclear power plant components, the analysis based on fracture mechanics is crucial. For this purpose, finite element method is popularly used to obtain J-integral. However, it is time consuming to design the finite element model of a cracked structure. Also, the J-integral should be verified by alternative methods since it may differ depending on the calculation method. The objective of this paper is to develop a three-dimensional elastic-plastic J-integral analysis system which is named as EPAS program. The EPAS program consists of an automatic mesh generator for a through-wall crack and a surface crack, a solver based on ABAQUS program, and a J-integral calculation program which provides DI (Domain Integral) and EDI (Equivalent Domain Integral) based J-integral calculation. Using the EPAS program, an optimized finite element model for a cracked structure can be generated and corresponding J-integral can be obtained subsequently.

In this research, a paramteric study to account for the effect of interfacial strength and nanotube agglomeration on the elastoplastic behavior of carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene composites is performed. At first, the elastoplastic behavior of nanocomposites is predicted from molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. By combining the MD simulation results with the nonlinear micromechanics model based on the Mori-Tanaka model, a two-step domain decomposition method is applied to inversely identify the elastoplastic behavior of adsorption interphase zone inside nanocomposites. In nonlinear micromechanics model, the secant moduli method combined with field fluctuation method is used to predict the elastoplastic behavior of nanocomposites. To account for the imperfect material interface between nanotube and matrix polymer, displacement discontinuity condition is applied to the micromechanics model. Using the elastoplastic behavior of the adsorption interphase zone obtained from the present study, stress-strain relation of nanocomposites at various interfacial bonding condition and local nanotube agglomeration is predicted from nonlinear micromechanics model with and without the adsorption interphase zone. As a result, it has been found that local nanotube agglomeration is the most important design factor to maximize reinforcing effect of nanotube in elastic and plastic behavior.

Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

폴리페닐카보실란은 페닐그룹을 포함하고 있는 카보실란계 고분자로서 열분해 후 과량의 탄소를 함유할 수 있는 세라믹 전구체이다. 카보실란계열의 고분자는 산화특성이 있어 SiOC 코팅 용도에도 사용되고 있는데, 폴리페닐카보실란은 free 탄소를 함유하는 SiOC:C 필름을 형성할 수 있다. SiOC 코팅 전구체로는 일반적으로 실리카졸, 실라잔 계열의 고분자, 실록산 계열의 고분자가 사용되고 있으나, 폴리페닐카보실란의 경우 상기 전구체에 비하여 보관 안정성 및 뛰어난 부착특성을 나타낸다. 기존 연구에서는 폴리페닐카보실란으로부터 형성된 SiOC:C 필름의 저유전막, 산화방지막, 분진방지막 등의 응용성에 대하여 고찰한 바 있다. 폴리페닐카보실란은 열처리 온도 영역에 따라 응용 분야가 달라질 수 있는데, 이에 본 연구에서는 각 열처리 온도 영역에 따라 형성되는 SiOC:C 필름의 구조적 변화를 고찰하였다. 필름 형성은 20 % 폴리카보실란 용액을 스핀코팅하고 대기상에서 경화를 실시하였으며, 질소 분위기에서 400 ~ 1200 도 범위에서 열처리하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 300 nm 두께의 필름은 XPS 표면분석과 FT-IR, Solid-NMR을 이용하여 C-Si-O 네트워크 형성의 거동을 확인하였으며, 800 도 이상에서 나타나는 특징적인 free 탄소는 Raman을 이용하여 확인하였다.
