  • The Upper Devonian Grossmont Formation in Alberta, Canada reserves an estimated 50 billion cubic meters of bitumen and possess about 1/6 of the total bitumen resources in northern Alberta. However, unlike the overlying Athabasca oil sands, non conventional bitumen resources has not been developed as yet. The carbonate rocks of Grosmont Formation have been subject to various stages of diagenesis, including dolomatization and karstification with a strong effect on the distribution of porosity and permeability, which resulted in highly heterogeneous reservoirs. An extensive fracture logging and mapping was performed on total of six boreholes located in the study area to explore the characteristics of fracture geometry system and the subsurface structures of carbonates reservoir that holds bitumen. Fractal dimension was used as a measure of the statistical homogeneity of the fractured rock masses. The applicability of random Cantor dust, Dc, as a fractal parameter was examined systematically. The statistical homogeneity of fractured carbonates rock masses was investigated in the study area. The structural domains of the rock masses were delineated depthwise according to estimated Dc. The major fracture orientation was dominated by horizontal beddings having dip of $0-20^{\circ}$. Also, fractures having high dip angles existed with relatively low frequency. Three dimensional fracture network modeling for each structural domain has been performed based on fracture orientation and intensity, and some representative conceptual models for carbonates reservoir in the study area has been proposed. The developed subsurface conceptual models will be used to capture the geomechanical characteristics of the carbonates reservoir.

  • 압축력의 변화에 따른 균열 간극변화 양상을 측정하고 간극변화와 수리전도도와의 관계를 파악하기 위해 이 연구에서는 다섯 단계의 수직 일축압축력을 균열면에 연속적으로 가하면서 고해상도의 공초점 레이저 스캔 현미경 (confocal laser scanning microscope; CLSM)을 이용하여 간극의 크기를 측정하고 디지털 이미지를 획득하였다. 기존의 연구들과는 달리 이 연구의 측정방법은 압력변화에 대한 동일시료 간극의 반응을 연속적으로 파악할 수 있는 점이 특징이다. 측정결과는 간극크기가 일정하지 않은 불평탄한 균열형태를 매우 잘 나타내었다. 균열 조도(roughness)로 인해 압력에 따른 간극 변화량은 일정하지 않고 부분마다 다름을 보였다. 각 압력단계에서 간극변화에 따른 투수성 변화양상을 파악하고자 실내투수시험을 병행하여 실시한 결과, 각 압력단계에서의 투수성 변화도 일정한 감소율을 나타내지 않고 간극 변화율이 크더라도 투수율은 오히려 작은 경우도 관찰되었다. 현미경을 통해 측정한 물리적 간극과 실제 유체유동 경로가 되는 수리간극의 크기 차이를 파악하기 위해 계산을 한 결과, 미미한 갈이지만 물리적 간극보다 작은 크기의 수리간극이 구해졌다. 또한, 실내투수시험 결과를 이용하여 구한 투수계수는 삼승법칙을 따르지 않는 것으로 드러났으며, 이러한 사실들은 균열 양쪽이 서로 평행하지 않고 불평탄한 양상을 가짐을 의미하는 것으로서, 현미경을 통해 직접 관찰한 간극양상과 잘 일치하는 것이다.

  • The empirical correlations for the prediction of breakup length of liquid jet in uniform cross flow are reviewed and classified in this study. The breakup length of liquid jets in cross flow was normally discussed in terms of the distances from the nozzle exit to the column breakup location in the x and y directions, called as column fracture distance and column fracture height, respectively. The empirical correlations for the prediction of column fracture distance can be classified as constant form, momentum flux ratio form, Weber number form and other parameter form, respectively. In addition, the empirical correlations for the prediction of column fracture height can be grouped as momentum flux ratio form, Weber number form and other parameter form, respectively. It can be summarized that the breakup length of liquid jet in a cross flow is a basically function of the liquid to air momentum flux ratio. However, Weber number, liquid-to-air viscosity ratio and density ratio, Reynolds number or Ohnesorge number were incorporated in the empirical correlations depending on the investigators. It is clear that there exist the remarkable discrepancies of predicted values by the existing correlations even though many correlations have the same functional form. The possible reasons for discrepancies can be summarized as the different experimental conditions including jet operating condition and nozzle geometry, measurement and image processing techniques introduced in the experiment, difficulties in defining the breakup location etc. The evaluation of the existing empirical correlations for the prediction of breakup length of liquid jet in a uniform cross flow is required.

  • 본 논문에서는 cohesive zone 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석에 기초해 압입 파괴인성 평가식을 제시한다. 먼저 Vickers 압입균열해석에 기초해 다양한 물성변수(항복변형률 ${\varepsilon}_o$, 푸아송비 ${\nu}$, 영률 E)의 들이 균열크기에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 파괴인성을 압입 시 측정되는 최대하중과 균열길이로 나타낼 수 있는 수식을 회귀로 얻었다. 아울러 접촉길이 a, E/H (H: 경도) 등을 추가 압입변수로 선정해 다양한 형태의 파괴인성평가법을 제시했다. 이후 동일 압입하중에서 압입자각 및 압입자 형태와 균열 크기의 관계를 분석해 Vickers 압입 파괴인성평가법을 다양한 압입자 형태로 확장했다. 본 연구에서 제안된 평가식을 이용하면 압입시험으로 얻어지는 데이터로부터 바로 취성재료의 파괴인성을 예측할 수 있다.

  • Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic nonlinear analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. In this system, burden to analysts fur introducing 3D cracks to the FE model as well as fur estimating their fracture mechanics parameters can be dramatically reduced. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

  • The purpose of this investigation is experimentally to clarify the machinability and optimum tool geometry on milling of hardened STD11 steel. In the finish process office milling of high hardened STD11 steel by CBN tool, the optimum tool shape is suggested, which can minimize the tool fracture and chipping by impact. It is measured that cutting farce, tool wear and surface roughness generated during single-insert face milling using various geometric CBN tools. It has been found that the optimal chamfer angle of CBN tool is about -$25^{\circ}C$ and the suitable chandler width is 0.2mm. The nose radius of tool is the most excellent at 1.2mm in the viewpoint of tool wear and surface roughness.

  • A boundary element method is applied to the analysis of crack trajectory in materials with complex microstructure, such as discontinuously reinforced composite materials, and systems subjected to complex loading, such as indentation. The path followed by the crack(s) has non-trivial geometry. A study of the stress intensity factors and fracture toughness of such systems must therefore be accompanied by an analysis of crack trajectory. The simulation is achieved using a dual boundary integral method in planar problems, and a single boundary integral method coupled with substructuring in axisymmetric problems. The direction of crack propagation is determined using the maximum mechanical energy release rate criterion. The method is demonstrated by application to (i) a composite material composed of components having the elastic properties of aluminium (matrix) and silicon carbide (reinforcement), and (ii) analysis of contact damage induced by the action of an indenter on brittle materials. The chief advantage of the method is the ease with which problems having complex geometry or loading (giving rise to complex crack trajectories) can be treated.

  • 균열이 존재하는 구조물의 균열 선단에서 과도한 소성 상태에 도달하게 되면 파괴역학 매개변수에 의하여 예측되는 균열 선단의 응력장이 실제와는 매우 다르게 나타난다. 구조물의 크기와 형상 그리고 하중의 형태에 따라 균열 선단의 응력장이 유일하지 않다. 이는 균열 선단의 구속 효과가 단일 매개변수 파괴역학으로 표현 될 수 없기 때문이다. 따라서 전통적으로 사용되었던 K, J를 이용한 단일 매개변수 파괴역학을 보완하기 위하여 다양한 시도가 있었고, 대표적으로 Q-응력이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Q-응력을 이용하여 원주방향으로 완전히 발달한 표면 균열이 있을 경우의 균열 선단의 구속 효과를 확인하였다. 고려된 하중은 일차하중으로 축 방향 인장하중과 반경방향 열구배에 의한 이차하중의 복합하중이다. 이차하중이 일차하중보다 구속효과가 더 심하며 기계하중보다 열하중이 뒤에 가해지는 열충격조건에서 구속효과가 더 심하게 나타남을 확인하였다.

  • A seamless analysis of material behavior incorporating complex geometry and crack- tip modeling is one of greatly interesting topics in engineering and computational fracture mechanics fields. However, there are still large gaps between the industrial applications and fundamental academic studies due to a time consuming detailed modeling. In order to resolve this problem, a numerical method to calculate an energy release rate by virtual crack closure technique was proposed in this paper. Both free mesh method and finite element method have been utilized and, thereafter, robust local and global elements for various geometries and boundary conditions were generated. A validity of the proposed method has been demonstrated through a series of fracture mechanics analyses without tedious crack-tip meshing.

  • The reduction phenomena of the compressive strength of concrete with respect to the size of specimens have been extensively investigated. However, adequate analysis technique have not been developed until now. Existing researches have shown that the larger member size, the smaller the strength. This indicated the necessity of nonlinear fracture mechanics theory in order to analyze the fracture behaviors of concrete. The are some models that predict the size effect of compressive strength of cylindrical specimens. Theses equations, however, are developed not considering the difference of fracturing mechanism which depends on both geometry of specimen and the strength level of concrete. In this paper, a model to predict compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens with respect to diameters, h/d ratios, and the strength level of concrete, is suggested. For this purpose, theoretical and statistical analyses are conducted. Experimental constants used in the model of new size effect are formulated in terms of strength levels of concrete based on existing experimental data.
