본 연구에서는 보다 현실적인 파쇄균열 전파를 묘사하기 위해 수압파쇄균열 전파 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델에서는 두 가지 균열 전파 기준을 적용하였다. 첫 번째는 균열의 발생각을 결정하기 위한 최대 접선응력 기준과 두 번째는 파쇄균열의 자연균열 통과 여부 기준이다. 본 모델의 검증 결과, 수압파쇄균열이 자연균열을 통과하는 양상이 실험값과 동일함을 확인하였다. 균열의 전파에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 요소인 최대수평응력 방향, 균열면의 마찰계수, 자연균열의 방향성에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 이론적 기준에 적합하게 균열의 전파 방향과 통과 여부가 결정되는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 수직 판형 균열 전파 모델과 본 모델을 비교하여 균열의 연결성과 유정 자극부피 측면에서 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

The effects of carbon black on the fatigue lift and the fracture morphology and the carbon black dispersion of the carbon-black filled natural rubbers, for the vibration-proof, were investigated. Different kinds of carbon blacks resulted in different fatigue lift and fracture morphologies, which are classified by micro-scale and macro-scale fracture morphologies. These results be related to the size distribution of carbon black particles, the development of the carbon black agglomerate and the combine forces between the carbon black and the natural rubber.

Rock masses often contain natural fractures of varying sizes, and the size of the natural fractures may affect the propagation of hydraulic fractures. We conduct a series of triaxial hydraulic fracturing tests to investigate the effect of the pre-existing fracture size a on hydraulic fracture propagation. Experimental results show that the pre-existing fracture size impacts hydraulic fracture propagation. As the pre-existing fracture size increases, the hydraulic fracture propagates towards the pre-existing fracture tips, evidenced by the decreased distance between the final hydraulic fracture and the pre-existing fracture tips. Furthermore, the attracting effect of pre-existing fracture tips increases when the distance between the wellbore and the pre-existing fracture is short (L/D=2 or 4 in this study). With increased distance between the wellbore and the pre-existing fracture (L/D=6 in this study), the hydraulic fracture propagates to the middle of the pre-existing fracture rather than the tips, as the attracting effect of the pre-existing fracture diminishes.

In-situ leaching could be one of the promising mining methods to extract the minerals from deep fractured rock mass. Constrained by the low permeability at depth, however, the performance does not meet the expectation. In fact, the rock mass permeability mainly depends on the pre-existing natural fractures and therefore play a crucial role in in-situ leaching performance. More importantly, fractures have various characteristics, such as aperture, persistence, and density, which have diverse contributions to the promising method. Hence, it is necessary to study the variation of fluid rate versus fracture parameters to enhance in-situ leaching performance. Firstly, the subsurface fractures from the depth of 1500m to 2500m were mapped using the discrete fracture network (DFN) in this paper, and then the numerical model was calibrated at a particular case. On this basis, the fluid flow through fractured rock mass with various fracture characteristics was analyzed. The simulation results showed that with the increase of Fisher' K value, which determine the fracture orientation, the flow rate firstly decreased and then increased. Subsequently, as another critical factor affecting the fluid flow in natural fractures, the fracture transmissivity has a direct relationship with the flow rate. Sensitive study shows that natural fracture characteristics play a critical role in in-situ leaching performance.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture loads and modes of failure for the full range of natural teeth under simulated occlusal loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and forty natural teeth were taken from mandibles and maxillas of patients. There were 14 groups of teeth with 10 teeth in each group (5 males and 5 females). Each specimen was embedded in resin and mounted on a positioning jig, with the long axis of the tooth at an inclined angle of 30 degrees. A universal testing machine was used to measure the compression load at which fracture of the tooth specimen occurred; loads were applied on the incisal edge and/or functional cusp. RESULTS. The mean fracture load for the mandibular first premolar was the highest (2002 N) of all the types of teeth, while the mean fracture load for the maxillary first premolar was the lowest (525 N). Mean fracture loads for the mandibular and maxillary incisors, and the first and second maxillary premolars, had significantly lower values compared to the other types of teeth. The mean fracture load for the teeth from males was significantly greater than that for the teeth from females. There was an inverse relationship between age and mean fracture load, in which older teeth had lower fracture loads compared to younger teeth. CONCLUSION. The mean fracture loads for natural teeth were significantly different, with dependence on tooth position and the sex and age of the individual.

암석의 파고역학적 특성은 암반 내의 자연균열들의 분포를 예측하거나 혹은 불연속면을 포함하는 암사면이나 지하구조물의 안정성을 해석하기 위한 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 암석의 파괴역학적의 특성의 차이를 측정하여 암종에 따른 제한적인 분포를 나타내는 자연균열에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 자연균열과 인공균열의 진행특성을 정성적 및 정량적인 기준에 의하여 분석한 결과, 기원이 다른 균열들은 성장특성에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서, 암석 파괴역학적의 이론을 이용하여 암반 내에 분포하는 균열들의 기원이나 공학적 특성을 예측하기 위해서는 먼저 충분한 지질학적인 이론과 근거가 요구됨을 알 수 있다.

This paper is concerned with a fracture strength study of composite adhesive lap joints. The tests were carried out on specimen joints manufactured hybrid stacked composites such as the polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. The main objective of the work was to test the fracture strength using hybrid stacked composites with a polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. Tensile and peel strength of hybrid stacked composites are tested before appling adhesive bonding. From results, Natural fiber reinforced composites have lower tensile strength than the original polyester. and The load directional orientation and small amount and low thickness of bamboo natural fiber layer have a good effect on the tensile and peel strength of natural fiber reinforced composites. The failure strength of these materials applied adhesive bonding is also affected by fiber orientation and thickness of bamboo natural fiber layer. There for, Fiber orientation of bamboo natural fiber layer have a great effect on the tensile-shear strength of natural fiber reinforced composites including adhesive bonded joints.

불균질한 자연균열 저류층에서 암체의 압축률은 매우 작은 값을 가지는 반면에 균열의 압축률은 상대적으로 큰 값을 갖는다. 균열의 압축률을 포함한 유효 압축률을 고려하지 않을 경우에는 균열의 간극 변화로 인한 공극 부피의 변화를 반영할 수 없기 때문에 정확한 오일 회수를 예측할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구들에서 암체의 압축률만을 고려하여 오일 회수를 분석했던 것과 달리, 암체와 균열의 압축률을 모두 고려한 유효 압축률을 적용해서 오일 회수량을 분석하였다. 폴리머 공법에서 균열의 압축률이 폴리머의 주입에 미치는 영향을 이해하기 위해, 폴리머의 분자량, 농도, 주입속도에 따른 오일 회수량을 분석하였다. 유효 압축률을 고려할 경우 폴리머 분자량, 농도, 주입속도가 높아질수록 유효 압축률을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 누적 오일 생산량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 공저 압력의 경우에도 유효 압축률을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 빠르게 급감하여 오일 생산량에 영향을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This investigation evaluated the fracture toughness($K_{IC}$) of eight currently available core materials, and relate the fracture toughness value to fractography analysis and surface characteristics using a atomic force microscope (AFM). Single-edge notched (SEN) test specimens (n=10) and compact tension (CT) test specimens (n=10) were prepared conforming to the ASTM Standard E-399 for a high copper amalgam, three composite core materials (Core-Max II, Core Paste, Bisfil Core), two reinforced composite core materials (Ti-Core, Ti-Core Natural), a resin-modified glass ionomer core material (Vitremer), and a conventional glass ionomer core material (Ketac-Molar). The specimens were tested with an Instron Universal Testing Machine. The maximum loads were measured to calculate the fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$). Thereafter, fracture surfaces of SEN specimens of each material were investigated for fractography analysis using scanning electron microscope. And, disc-shaped specimens with 1mm thickness were fabricated for each material and were investigated under AFM for surface morphology analysis. The results were as follows: 1. Bisfil Core showed the highest mean fracture toughness regardless of test methods. 2. For the tooth-colored materials, Ti-Core Natural exhibited the highest fracture toughness. 3. Ketac Molar showed a significantly low fracture toughness when compared with the amalgam and the composite resin core materials(p<0.05). 4. The fracture toughness values obtained with the single-edge notched test, except Ketac Molar, were higher than those obtained in the compact tension test. 5. SEM revealed that the fracture surface of high fracture toughness material was rougher than that of low fracture toughness material. 6. AFM revealed that the surface particles of the composite resins were smaller in size, with a lower surface roughness than the glass ionomer core materials.

In this study a polymer concrete, made up of natural aggregates and an orthophthalic polyester binder, reinforced with natural Alfa fibers has been studied. The results of flexural testing of unreinforced polymer concrete with different rates of charges (marble) showed that the concrete with 20% of marble is stronger and more rigid compared to other grades. Hence, a rate of 20% of marble powder is selected as the optimal value in the development of polymer concrete reinforced Alfa fibers. The fracture results of reinforced polymer concrete with 1 and 2 wt% of chopped untreated or treated Alfa fibers showed that treated Alfa (5% NaOH) fiber reinforced polymer concrete has higher fracture properties than other composites. We believe that this type of concrete provides a very promising alternative for the building industry seeking to achieve the objectives of sustainable development.
