Due to high in-situ stress and brittleness of rock mass, the surrounding rock masses of underground caverns are prone to appear splitting failure. In this paper, a kind of loading-unloading variable elastic modulus model has been initially proposed and developed based on energy dissipation principle, and the stress state of elements has been determined by a splitting failure criterion. Then the underground caverns of Dagangshan hydropower station is analyzed using the above model. For comparing with the monitoring results, the entire process of rock splitting failure has been achieved through monitoring the splitting failure on side walls of large-scale caverns in Dagangshan via borehole TV, micro-meter and deformation resistivity instrument. It shows that the maximum depth of splitting area in the downstream sidewall of the main power house is approximately 14 m, which is close to the numerical results, about 12.5 m based on the energy dissipation model. As monitoring result, the calculation indicates that the key point displacement of caverns decreases firstly with the distance from main powerhouse downstream side wall rising, and then increases, because this area gets close to the side wall of main transformer house and another smaller splitting zone formed here. Therefore it is concluded that the energy dissipation model can preferably present deformation and fracture zones in engineering, and be very useful for similar projects.

Dianhydride로서 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydried(PMDA)와 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride(6FDA)를, diamine으로서 1,4-phenylenediamine(PDA)을 사용하여 homopolyimides인 PMDA-PDA, 6FDA-PDA와 다른 당량비의 copolyimides를 각각의 ploy(amic acid)로부터 제조하였다. 이들 박막에 대하여, thin film stress analyzer(TFSA)를 이용하여 공중합체 폴리이미드 박막의 잔류 응력거동을 공정온도 ($25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)하에서 전구체의 열적 이미드화에 따라 in-situ로 측정하였고, WAXD분석을 통해 모폴로지 변화를 알아보았다. 다른 단량비로 이루어진 공중합체 폴리이미드 박막의 잔류 응력 결과는 PMDA 분율이 증가함에 따라 잔류 응력이 큰 폭으로 감소하였고 순수 PMDA-PDA 폴리이미드에서는 압축모드로 5 MPa로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 PMDA-PDA의 높은 $T_g$로 인한 공정상의 어려움과 6FDA-PDA의 상대적으로 높은 응력을 서로 보완해 기계적 물성이 좋은 저응력의 폴리이미드를 만들 수 있음을 보였다. 즉, random한 PMDA/6FDA-PDA 공중합체 폴리이미드 합성을 이용하여 사슬 내에 벌키한 di(trifluoromethyl)기와 같은 관절기로 인한 상대적으로 높은 응력을 보이는 6FDA-PDA 폴리이미드 사슬 내에 강직한 사슬 구조를 가진 PMDA-PDA 폴리이미드의 사슬 구조를 적당량 첨가함으로써 우수한 기계적 물성을 갖는 저응력 폴리이미드를 만들 수 있었다. 특히, PMDA/6FDA-PDA (0.9:0.1:1.0) 폴리이미드가 저유전 상수 층간 절연막으로서의 우수한 기계적 물성과 낮은 응력 수준을 보여주고 있다.

Graphene, which is one of the most promising materials for its state-of-the-art applications, has received extensive attention because of its superior mechanical properties. However, there is little experimental evidence related to the mechanical properties of graphene at the atomic level because of the challenges associated with transferring atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials onto microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. In this study, we show successful dry transfer with a gel material of a stable, clean, and free-standing exfoliated graphene film onto a push-to-pull (PTP) device, which is a MEMS device used for uniaxial tensile testing in in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through the results of optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and TEM, we demonstrate high quality exfoliated graphene on the PTP device. Finally, the stress-strain results corresponding to propagating cracks in folded graphene were simultaneously obtained during the tensile tests in TEM. The zigzag and armchair edges of graphene confirmed that the fracture occurred in association with the hexagonal lattice structure of graphene while the tensile testing. In the wake of the results, we envision the dedicated preparation and in situ TEM tensile experiments advance the understanding of the relationship between the mechanical properties and structural characteristics of 2D materials.

In a transformer, thermal stress is the most influential parameter affecting the aging behavior of insulation system. The aging behavior of insulation system in transformer is determined mainly by the thermal conditions inside the transformer. The thermal stress on the insulation system may occur from operation in a high temperature caused by overloading or local overheating. Thus, this paper investigated the condition monitoring of insulation condition in thermally accelerated aged transformer oils by in-situ sensor. The condition of aged samples was investigated by measurements of relative permittivity i.e. capacitance change by capacitive sensor. Results from the experiments are presented in this paper.

Magnesium alloys become popular research topic in last decade due to its light weight and relatively high strength-to-weight ratio in the energy aspiration age. Almost all structure materials are supposed to suspend stress. Magnesium is quite sensitive to corrosive environment, and also sensitive to environmental assisted cracking. However, so far we have the limited knowledge about the environmental sensitive cracking of magnesium alloys. The corrosion fatigue (CF) test was conducted. Many factors' effects, like grain size, texture, heat treatment, loading frequency, stress ratio, strain rate, chemical composition of environment, pH value, relative humidity were investigated. The results showed that all these factors had obvious influence on the crack initiation and propagation. Especially the dependence of CF life on pH value and frequency is quite different to the other traditional structural metallic materials. In order to interpret the results, the electrochemistry tests by polarization dynamic curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were conducted with and without stress. The corrosion of magnesium alloys was also studied by in-situ observation in environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The corrosion rate changed with the wetting time during the initial corrosion process. The pre-charging of hydrogen caused crack initiated at $\beta$ phase, and with the increase of wetting time the crack propagated, implying that hydrogen produced by corrosion reaction participated in the process.

Infrared thermography using high-speed infrared camera has been recognized as a powerful method for various potential applications, such as nondestructive inspection, failure analysis, stress analysis, and medical fields, due to non-contact, high-speed, and high spatial resolution at various temperature ranges. In this investigation, damage evolution due to generation of hot spots on railway brake disc was investigated using the infrared thermography method. A high-speed infrared camera was used to measure the surface temperature of brake disc as well as for in-situ monitoring of hot spot evolution. From the thermographic images, the observed hot spots and thermal damage of railway brake disc during braking operation were qualitatively analyzed. Moreover, in this investigation, the previous experimental and theoretical studies on hot spots phenomenon were reviewed, and the current experimental results were introduced and compared with theoretical prediction.

Organic-inorganic composite of polyaniline and barium titanate (PANI-$BaTiO_3$) was synthesized via an in-situ oxidation polymerization of aniline in the presence of barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) nanoparticles dispersed in an acidic medium. Barium titanate has large electric resistance and relatively high dielectric constant which is one of the essential properties for its electrorheological (ER) applications. The microstructure and composition of the obtained PANI/$BaTiO_3$ composite were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and XRD. In addition, we also employed a rotational rheometer to investigate the rheological performance of the ER fluids based on both pure PANI particle and PANI/$BaTiO_3$ composite. It was found that the composite materials possess much higher yield stresses than the pristine PANI due to unique dielectric properties of the inorganic $BaTiO_3$ particles. Finally, we also examined dynamic yield stress by analyzing its extrapolated yield stress data as a function of electric field strengths. Using the critical electric field strengths deduced, we further found that the universal yield stress equation collapses their data onto a single curve.

프리스트레스 긴장재에 현재 작용하고 있는 응력을 계측하는 방법으로서 고저항 전도체의 전기기계적 상관작용을 이용하는 방법을 제안했다. 사용 고저항 전도체를 선택하기 위해 탄소섬유와 금속계 열선의 특성을 일반적인 응력제어와는 달리 변형률제어를 통해 실험적으로 연구했다. 탄소섬유의 경우 변형 초기에는 일반적으로 알려진 포물선 형태의 상관관계를 보였으나 재하-제하시 상관관계의 기울기가 일정하지 않아서 본 목적에는 부합하는 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 금속계 열선은 거의 전 구간에서 탄성 재하, 제하 및 재재하시 일정한 선형 상관계수를 보여 본 목적에 매우 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 금속계열선의 전기기계적 상관관계를 예측하기 위해 완전소성론에 기초한 간단한 식을 제안하였다. 또한 금속계 열선을 이용한 긴장력 측정이 가능한 긴장재를 최초로 제안했다. 본 연구의 부수적인 결과로서 함침되지 않은 탄소섬유의 경우, 특정 변형률 이후 추가 변형에 대해 거의 선형적인 전기기계적 상관관계를 갖는 새로운 경향을 발견했다.

It is important to make reasonable prediction about the long-term deformation of high rockfill geostructures. However, the deformation is usually underestimated using the rockfill parameters obtained from laboratory tests due to different size effects, which make it necessary to identify parameters from in-situ monitoring data. This paper proposes a novel hybrid back-analysis method with a modified objective function defined for the time-dependent back-analysis problem. The method consists of two stages. In the first stage, an improved weighted average method is proposed to quickly narrow the search region; while in the second stage, an adaptive response surface method is proposed to iteratively search for the satisfactory solution, with a technique that can adaptively consider the translation, contraction or expansion of the exploration region. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed hybrid back-analysis method is demonstrated by back-analyzing the long-term deformation of two high embankments constructed for airport runways, with the rockfills being modeled by a rheological model considering the influence of stress states on the creep behavior.

The durability and reliability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) play an important role in the service reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) of hot­section components in advanced turbine engines for aero and utility applications. Photostimulated luminescence spectroscopy (PSLS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are being concurrently developed as complimentary non­destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for quality control and life­remain assessment of TBCs. This paper overviews the governing principles and applications of the luminescence and the impedance examined in the light of residual stress, phase constituents and resistance (or capacitance) in TBC constituents including the thermally grown oxide (TGO) scale. Results from NDE by PSLS and EIS are discussed and related to the microstructural development during high temperature thermal cycling, examined by using a variety of microscopic techniques including focused ion beam (FIB) in­situ lift­out (INLO), transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM and STEM).
