The objective of this study is to examine fracture characteristics of concrete at early ages, i.g. critical stress intensity factor, critical crack-tip opening displacement, fracture energy, and bilinear softening curve based on the concepts of effective-elastic crack model and cohesive crack model. A wedge splitting test for Mode I was performed on cubic wedge specimens with a notch at the edge. By experimenting with various strengths and ages, load-crack mouth opening curves were obtained, and the results were analyzed by linear elastic fracture mechanics and FEM(finite element method). The results from the test and analysis showed that critical stress intensity factor and facture energy increased while critical crack-tip opening displacement decreased with concrete aging from 1 day to 28 days. Four parameters of bilinear softening curve from 1 day to 28 days were obtained from a numerical analysis. The obtained fracture parameters and bilinear softening curves at early ages from this study are to be used as a fracture criterion and an input data for the finite element analysis of concrete at early ages.

본 논문은 케이슨의 인양작업중 Fitting Anchor의 취성파괴로 인한 들고리의 붕괴원인을 조사하기 위한 실험적 연구이다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 응력해석을 통하여 들고리의 붕괴메카니즘을 분석하고 이를 실제 붕괴과정과 비교한다. 본 연구에서는 파괴된 강재에 대한 파면해석 뿐만아니라 화학성분시험, 인장시험 및 샤르피 V-노치 충격시험을 실시한다. 그리고 이의 시험 결과를 정상적인 강재에 대한 시험결과와 비교한다. 본 연구의 거시적, 미시적인 방법으로 결함을 관찰한 결과, Fitting Anchor 내부에 원주방향으로 나타난 표면결함은 케이슨의 진수시 발생하는 들고리의 인장응력이 작용하기 전에 발생한 것임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 균열선단의 응력집중이 발생하여 작용응력보다 큰 응력이 결함에 발생한 것임을 알 수 있다. 또한, 잠재한 결함의 크기가 임계값 이상으로 증가하여 본 연구대상 강재의 응력확대계수가 증가하였을 것으로 판단된다. 그래서 균열선단의 응력확대계수가 본 강재의 파괴인성보다 크게 되어 케이슨의 인양작업중에 취성파괴를 일으킨 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 케이슨 들고리의 붕괴는 Fitting Anchor의 취성파괴로 발생한 것으로 사료된다.

The size of hydrogen molecule is not so small as to invade into the lattice of material, and therefore, hydrogen invades into the material as atom. Hydrogen movement is done by diffusion or dislocation movement in the near crack tip or plastic deformation. Hydrogen appeared to have many effects on the mechanical properties of the Cr-Mo steel alloys. The materials for this study are 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 2.25Cr-1Mo steels used at high temperature and pressure. The hydrogen amount obtained by theoretical calculation was almost same with the result solved by finite element analysis. The distribution of hydrogen concentration and average concentration was calculated for a flat specimen. Also, finite element analysis was employed to simulate the redistribution of hydrogen due to stress gradient. The calculation of hydrogen concentration diffused into the material by finite element method will provide the basis for the prediction of delayed fracture of notched specimen. The distribution of hydrogen concentration invaded into the smooth and notched specimen was obtained by finite element analysis. The hydrogen amount is much in smooth specimen and tends to concentrate in the vicinity of surface. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of notched specimen after hydrogen charging is more remarkable than that of smooth specimen.

This paper handles the repairing of deficient square Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube (CFST) beams subject to bending through an experimental and numerical program. Eight square-CFST beams were tested. A 5-mm artificial notch was induced at mid-span of seven beams, four of them were repaired by using CFRP sheets and two were repaired by using GFRP sheets. The beam deflection, strain and ultimate moments were recorded. It was found that providing different cut-off points for the different layers of FRP sheets prohibited failure at termination points due to stress concentrations. Using different lengths of FRP sheets around the notch retarded crack propagation and prevented FRP rupture at the crack position. Finite element analysis was then conducted and the proposed FE model was verified against the recorded experimental data. The influence of various parameters as FRP sheet length, tensile modulus and the number of layers were studied. The moment capacity of damaged square-CFST beams was improved up to 77.6% when repaired by using four layers of CFRP, however, this caused a dramatic decrease in beam deflection. U-wrapping of notched-CFST beam with 0.75 of its length provided a comparable behaviour as wrapping the full length of the beam.

This study investigates a new method of using a concrete disk to calculate stress intensity factor (SIF) for mixed mode cases. The results indicate that the disk method is more accurate than three point bending test (TPB) in obtaining correct SIF values for mixed mode fracture propagation. Stress intensity factors $K_{I}$ and $K_{II}$ are calculated using a center notched disk subjected to splitting load. The notch angle is calculated by finite element (FEM). Fracture toughness $K_\textsc{k}$ of the concrete is obtained from the load intensities at the initiation of crack propagation. According to the finite element analysis(FEA) and disk test, the results show that mode I and mixed mode cracks propagate toward the directions of crack face and loading point, respectively. The results from FEA with maximum stress theory compare well with the experimental date. Unlike TPB method where an accurate fracture toughness value is difficult to obtain due to the irregular shape of load deflection curve and delayed final crack propagation (following slow stable cracking). fracture toughness value is easily measured in the disk test from the crack initial load. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that disk method is more advantageous than TPB method in analyzing combined mode fracture problems.

There is a growing need for a care system that can continuously monitor, manage and effectively relieve stress for modern people. In recent years, mobile healthcare devices capable of measuring heart rate have become popular, and many stress monitoring techniques using heart rate variability analysis have been actively proposed and commercialized. In addition, respiratory biofeedback methods are used to provide stress relieving services in environments using mobile healthcare devices. In this case, breathing information should be measured well to assess whether the user is doing well in biofeedback training. In this study, we extracted the heart beat interval signal from the PPG and used the oscillator based notch filter based on the IIR band pass filter to track the strongest frequency in the heart beat interval signal. The respiration signal was then estimated by filtering the heart beat interval signal with this frequency as the center frequency. Experimental results showed that the number of breathing could be measured accurately when the subject was guided to take a deep breath. Also, in the timeing measurement of inspiration and expiration, a time delay of about 1 second occurred. It is expected that this will provide a respiratory biofeedback service that can assess whether or not breathing exercise are performed well.

To investgate the fracture behavior of the steel fiber reinforced concreate, the specimens with different steel fiber contents of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, were made and notched with differents notch depth ratios of 0.0,0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and the three point bend tests were followed. Test results of 16 different types of above combined specimens were summarized as follows. 1.The load line deflection contents were found to increase 5%, 16%, 19%, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increased of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2,0.4, 0.6, respectively. 2.The frexural strength were found to decrease 14%, 16%, 21 %, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increase of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6,respectively. 3.The stress intensity factors of the steel fiber reinforced concrete were found to increase 1.1 1.5 1.9 times, respectively, compared to the concrete with no steel fiber content with the increase of fiber content to 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, respectively. 4.The influence of the mass of the steel fiber reinforced concrete to the whole fracture energy was found to be minor with 6~8 % contribution. 5.The fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete, considering the load-deflection curve and concrete mass was found to be approximately 350-380kg m/m$^2$. 6.The regression analysis through the relationship between the compressive(Oc)/tensile (OT) strength and fracture energy(Gf) showed that the fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete could be predicted as follows. Gf= 19.2662 Oc - 3940.4 Gf= 246.876 OT- 6008.8

본 연구에서는 EGW공정 적용에 따른 고강도 극후판 EH36-TMCP강 용접부의 역학적 거동 및 파괴인성 $K_{IC}$ 특성을 고찰하기 위해 먼저 자체 개발한 열분포, 열탄소성 프로그램을 이용한 유한요소해석을 통하여 용접부의 역학적 거동(용접잔류응력, 소성변형율 등의 크기, 분포, 발생기구)을 규명하였다. 그리고 이때 얻어진 잔류응력을 초기응력으로 하여 상용프로그램 ANSYS에서 노치가공으로 인한 응력 재분포 특성 및 잔류응력과 외력의 복합하중에 대한 파괴인성 KIC를 계산하였다. 균열이 존재하는 EGW용접부의 파괴기준$K_{IC}$를 살펴보면, 중첩된 경우가 순수 외부하중(굽힘하중)만 작용하는 경우 보다 파괴 인성치가 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. a/W가 작을 경우 중첩의 경우가 순수 외부하중(굽힘하중)만의 경우보다 파괴인성치 차이가 크나, a/W가 증가함에 따라 그 차이가 점차 없어지는 것으로 나타났다.

표면이 매끄럽고 돌기가 있는 2가지 HDPE 지오멤브레인 덤벨형 시료에 두께 10% 간격으로 10~90% 깊이의 노치를 가하여 실험에 사용하였다. ISO 10722에 의거하여 부가하중 횟수를 변화시켜 시공시 손상의 실내 모사시험을 HDPE 지오브레인에 실시하였으며, 부가하중 횟수가 시공시 손상에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 항복응력과 변형률은 노지 깊이가 커짐에 따라 감소하였다. 손상된 그리고 노치를 가한 지오멤브레인을 응력균열시험에 사용하였으며, $50{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 pH 4와 12 용액에 침지시켜 항복응력 변화에 따른 응력균열저항성을 NCTL 시험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 인장 강도의 35% 이상에서 지오멤브레인은 응력균열에 취약함을 나타냈으며, 손상을 받은 그리고 노치를 가한 지오멤브레인 모두 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 특별히 노치를 가한 지오멤브레인의 경우 각각의 응력균열 조건에서 시공에 의해 손상된 지오멤브레인보다 낮은 강도를 나타내었다.
