Rubber-toughened particles which are used in the field of chemical engineering are used to increase the fracture toughness of thermoset resin. The application of Core-Shell particles, one of rubber-toughened particles, as a filler for dental composite or restoration have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible use of Core-Shell particles for dental composite, and the hypothesis was that additional toughening mechanisms are activated by the addition of Core-Shell particles. After blending 50vol% quartz with Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin matrix, the experimental resins were made by the addition of Core-Shell particles with varied content level as 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, and 20wt%. Fracture toughness was determined on three-point bending specimen with single-edge notch according to ASTM-E 399. Also, flexural properties, that is, strength and modulus were measured by three-point bending testing. Fractogragh of fracture toughness specimen was observed using SEM (JEOL 6400 SEM, MA). The following results from this study were obtained ; 1. Fracture toughness of composite resin added 2.5wt% Core-Shell particles was significantly higher than control group ($p{\leq}0.05$). 2. Flexural properties were decreased with increasing Core-Shell particle content, which showed a correlation statistically ($p{\leq}0.05$). 3. A toughening mechanism such as lamination and microcrack was observed in specimen determined high fracture toughness. 4. The dispersion of Core-Shell itself and quartz filler particles was limited present high content of Core-Shell particles, which decreased a resulting mechanical properties of composites. These results suggest that adequate Core-Shell particles can be used to enhance mechanical properties included toughening for dental composites.

The influence of the co-additive concentration (0 - 45 wt% with an interval of 5 wt%) of MgO-$TiO_2$ on the phase formation, microstructure and fracture toughness of MgO-$TiO_2$-reinforced dental porcelain nanocomposites derived from a one-step sintering technique were examined using a combination of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Vickers indentation. It was found that MgO-$TiO_2$-reinforced dental porcelain nanocomposites exhibited significantly higher fracture toughness values than those observed in single-additive (MgO or $TiO_2$)-reinforced dental porcelain composites at any given sintering temperature. The amount of MgO-$TiO_2$ as a co-additive was found to be one of the key factors controlling the phase formation, microstructure and fracture toughness of these nanocomposites. It is likely that 30 wt% of MgO-$TiO_2$ as a co-additive is the optimal amount for $MgTi_2O_5$ and $Mg_2SiO_4$ crystalline phase formation to obtain the maximum relative density (96.80%) and fracture toughness ($2.60{\pm}0.07MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$) at a sintering temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$.

The effect of AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$additives on fracture toughness of $\beta$-SiC-ZrB$_2$composites by hot-pressed sintering were Investigated. The $\beta$-SiC-ZrB$_2$ ceramic composites were hot-presse sintered and annealed by adding 1, 2, 3wt% AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$(6:4wt%) powder as a liquid forming additives at 195$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h. In this microstructures, no reactions were observed between $\beta$-SiC and ZrB$_2$, and the relative density Is over 90.79% of the theoretical density and the porosity decreased with increasing AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$ contents. Owing to crack deflection and crack bridging of fracture toughness mechanism, the fracture toughness showed the highest of 5.5328MPa . m$^{1}$2/ for composites added with 2wt% AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$ additives at room temperature. But the standard deviation of fracture toughness of specimens decreased with increasing AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$ contents and showed the highest of 0.8624 for composite tilth 1wt%, AI$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$additives.

암석의 파괴인성은 발파, 굴착 등으로 인한 균열의 개시와 전파를 나타낼 수 있는 상수이다. 터널의 거동, 석회석 광산의 안정성 평가 등에 축소모형실험이 다양하게 적용되고 있다. 축소모형을 통해 발파로 인한 손상영역평가도 이뤄지고 있는데, 파괴 관련 인자에 대한 축소율 적용은 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 DCT(diametral compression test) 값과 유한요소법인 ATENA2D 수치해석 결과를 비교하여 암석의 파괴인성에 축소율을 적용할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 암석의 파괴인성에 이론적으로 계산된 축소율을 적용한 값과 DCT 시험결과 및 수치해석 결과가 각각 0.21~0.46, 0.40, 0.99MPa ${\sqrt{m}}$ 로 편차가 있으므로 암석의 파괴인성에 축소율을 적용 시에는 이 세 가지 값을 고려하여 적합한 축소율을 도출해야 하고, 축소모형 제작 시 축소율 적용 대상이 되는 길이, 시간, 질량과 함께 이로부터 산출되는 일축압축강도, 밀도 등의 주요 설계인자들의 축소율이 적용된 값을 함께 검토해야 할 것이다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of barium silicate filler contents on mechanical properties of resin nanoceramics (RNCs) for additive manufacturing (AM). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Additively manufactured RNC specimens were divided into 4 groups depending on the content of ceramic fillers and polymers: 0% barium silicate and 100% polymer (B0/P10, control group); 50% barium silicate and 50% polymer (B5/P5); 60% barium silicate and 40% polymer (B6/P4); 67% barium silicate and 33% polymer (B6.7/P3.3). The compressive strength (n = 15) and fracture toughness (n = 12) of the specimens were measured, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were performed. Independent sample Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed on the compressive strength and fracture toughness test results, and the significance of each group was analyzed at the 95% confidence interval through post-tests using the Bonferroni's method. RESULTS. B6/P4 and B6.7/P3.3 exhibited much higher yield strength than B0/P10 and B5/P5 (P < .05). Compared to the control group (B0/P10), the other three groups exhibited higher ultimate strength (P < .05). The fracture toughness of B6/P4 and B6.7/P3.3 were similar (P > .05). The content of barium silicate and fracture toughness showed a positive correlation coefficient (R = 0.582). SEM and EDS analyses revealed the presence of an oval-shaped ceramic aggregate in B6/P4 specimens, whereas the ceramic filler and polymer substrate were homogeneously mixed in B6.7/P3.3. CONCLUSION. Increasing the ceramic filler content improves the mechanical properties, but it can be accompanied by a decrease in the flowability and the homogeneity of the slurry.

This study introduces a new algorithm to determine size independent values of fracture energy, fracture toughness, and fracture process zone length in three-point bending specimens with shallow to deep notches. By using the exact beam theory, a concept of equivalent notch length is introduced for specimens with no notches in order to predict the peak loads with acceptable precisions. Moreover, the method considers the variations of fracture process zone length and effects of higher order terms of stress field in each specimen size. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the use of some recently developed size effect laws raises some concerns due to the use of nonlinear regression analysis. By using a comprehensive fracture test data, provided by Hoover and Bazant, the algorithm has been assessed. It could be concluded that the proposed algorithm can facilitate a powerful tool for size effect study of three-point bending specimens with different notch lengths.

암석파괴역학은 토목공학과 암반공학의 다양한 분야에서 널리 적용되는 학문이다. 그러나 대부분의 암반 공학 문제에서 mode II 거동이 우세함에도 불구하고 관련 연구는 mode I 거동에 대한 것이 대부분이다. 현재 mode I의 경우 4개, mode II 파괴인성의 경우 단 한 개의 ISRM 표준시험법이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 새로운 시험법은 문헌조사를 통해서 필요조건으로 구속압 가능 여부, 노치성형의 용이성, 기존 시험장비의 활용, 단순한 시험절차를 정하고 이에 부합하도록 개발하였으며 SCC(Short Core in Compression)로 이름을 정하였다. Mode II 파괴인성 계산에 필요한 응력확대계수 계산식을 3차원 수치해석을 통해 선하중과 분포하중 조건에 대해서 구하였고 노치성형을 위한 지그도 제작하였다. 개발된 시험법을 MTS 시스템을 사용하여 화강암에 적용하였으며 가압속도는 0.002 mm/s로 하였다. 시험 결과 $2.33MPa{\sqrt{m}}$의 mode II 파괴인성을 얻었다. 동일한 화강암 블록에서 확보한 시험편에 대하여 간접인장시험으로 구한 mode I 파괴인성은 $1.12MPa{\sqrt{m}}$였다. 따라서 $K_{IIC}/K_{IC}=2.08$로 mode II 파괴인성이 mode I보다 크게 나타났다. 또한 비교적 매끄러운 파괴면과 암분의 생성을 통하여 SCC 시험법이 mode II 거동을 잘 표현함을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안된 SCC 시험법은 암석의 mode II 파괴인성을 결정하는 데 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of austempering temperature on the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of the ductile cast iron with Cu, Mo and Cu, Mo, Ni. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows; Microstructures of Cu-Mo and Cu-Mo-Ni ductile cast iron by austempering were obtained low bainite with some martensite at $250^{\circ}C$, mixture structure of upper and low bainite obtained at $300^{\circ}C$ and upper bainite obtained at $350^{\circ}C$. Tensile, impact and fracture toughness properties were remarkably controlled by retained austenite. With increasing austempering temperature, tensile and yield strength, hardness decreased, while the elongation and impact absorption energy, fracture toughness increased. With adding Ni, tensile and yield strength increased and elongation, facture toughness and impact absorption energy decreased. Retained austenite increased with increasing austempering temperature and the fracture surface were shown mixture structure of fibrous and dimple.

The investigate the effect of fiber orientation on the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics three prepregs which are domestic products are used in this paper. Those are used for the unidirectional composites, but only one is used for the cross-ply laminate composites which is molded $[0/90]_{6s},\;[0/45]_{6s},\;and\;[0/45/90]_{4s}$. The specimens used for the mode I and mode II Tests are DCB and ENF samples are examined by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The value of $G_{IC}$ is almost same when modified three calculating methods are applied. The highest value of $G_{IC}$at crack initiation is obtained at the $[0/90]_{6s}$ interlaminar and the lowest one is at the $[0/45/90]_{4s}$ interlaminar. The highest value of $G_{IIC}$ at crack initiation, however, is obtained at the $[0/90]_{6s}$ interlaminar and the lowest one is at the $[0/45]_{6s}$. The photographs of SEM show a difference behaviour between mode I and mode II fracture surface.
