Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glide path preparation with PathFile and ProGlider nickel-titanium (NiTi) files on the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne NiTi files. Materials and Methods: Forty-four WaveOne Primary files were used and divided into four groups (n = 11). In the first group (0 WaveOne), the WaveOne Primary files served as a control group and were not used on acrylic blocks. In the 1 WaveOne Group, acrylic blocks were prepared using only WaveOne Primary files, and in the PF+WaveOne group and PG+WaveOne groups, acrylic blocks were first prepared with PathFile or ProGlider NiTi files, respectively, followed by the use of WaveOne Primary files. All the WaveOne Primary files were then subjected to cyclic fatigue testing. The number of cycles to failure was calculated and the data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey honest significant difference multiple-comparison test at a 5% significance level. Results: The highest number of cycles to failure was found in the control group, and the lowest numbers were found in the 1 WaveOne group and the PF+WaveOne group. Significant differences were found among the 1 WaveOne, PF+WaveOne, and control groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the PG+WaveOne group and the other three groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Glide path preparation with NiTi rotary files did not affect the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne Primary files used on acrylic blocks.

The behavior of rocks and microcrack development due to fatigue stresses are investigated using cyclic loading tests and ultrasonic velocity measurements. Twenty six medium-grained granite samples from the Pochon area are selected for measurements. Ultrasonic velocities are measured for samples before fatigue test to characterize the pre-existing microcracks. Then, thirteen different cycles of loadings with 70% and 80% dynamic strength are applied to the samples. The ultrasonic velocities are measured again to compare velocities after applications of fatigue stress with those before applications of fatigue stress. The results show that most microcracks are developed along the direction parallel to the axis of loading and that the amount of microcracks increases, as loading levels and numbers of cycle increase.

In this study, after the installation of a subsea pipeline, backfilling was performed in the trenched area. During these operations, a stability problem in the subsea pipeline occurred. The pipeline was directly impacted by environmental loading such as waves and currents that were caused by backfill material when scouring or sediment transport and siltation was carried out. Therefore, this study reviewed whether trenching was necessary, and conducted research into an indigenous seabed property that contains granular soil. A study of cohesive soil was also conducted in order to cross-correlate after calculating the values of the critical Shields parameter relevant to elements of the external environment such as waves and current, and the shear Shields parameter that depends on the actual shearing stress. In case of 1), sedimentation or erosion does not occur. In the case of 2), partial sedimentation or erosion occurs. If the case is 3), full sedimentation or erosion occurs. Therefore, in the cases of 1) or 2), problems in structural subsea pipeline stability will not occur even if partial sedimentation or erosion occurs. This should be reflected particularly in cases with granular and cohesive soil when a reduction in shear strength occurs by cyclic currents and waves. In addition, since backfilling material does not affect the original seabed shear strength, a set-up factor should be considered to use a reduced of the shear strength in the original seabed.

한국원자력연구소 내에서 시추된 화강암 코어시료를 대상으로 1550회의 반복하중을 가할 때 미세균열의 발달 정도를 미소파괴음(AE)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 반복하중 조건에서 미소파괴음은 반복횟수에 따라 두 가지 type의 발생 특성을 보였다. 첫 번째 type은 반복횟수가 적었을 때 나타나는 특성으로 낮은 에너지와 분산된 주파수가 특징이며, 두 번째 type은 반복횟수가 많았을 때 나타나는 특성으로 높은 에너지와 일정한 주파수가 특징적이다. Type 1은 시료내의 공극이나 미세균열이 닫히거나 성장하는 과정에서 발생하는 미소파괴음의 특성을 나타내는 반면에, type 2는 하중을 가할 때에는 미세균열이 전단되거나 닫혔다가 하중이 제거될 때에는 전단으로부터 회복하거나 미세균열이 열리면서 발생하는 미소파괴음의 특성으로 판단된다. 또한 반복횟수 50, 150, 350, 750, 1550회 때 탄성파(P파) 속도와 Felicity 비를 측정하였다. 측정결과 탄성파속도는 반복횟수가 증가하여도 변화가 없었으나 Felicity 비의 경우 반복횟수가 증가함에 따라 점점 감소하여 시료가 반복하중에 의해 손상을 받고 있음을 지시하였다. 따라서 암석의 손상정도를 판단하는데 있어서 미소파괴음 측정을 통한 Felicity 비가 탄성파속도보다 더 효과적으로 판단된다.
