A meso-scale analysis method using the natural element method is proposed for the analysis of material damage of brittle microcracking solids. The microcracking is assumed to occur along Voronoi edges in the Voronoi diagram generated using the nodal points as the generators. The mechanical effect of microcracks is considered by controlling the material constants in the neighborhood of the micorcracks. The macro elastic moduli of isotropic solids containing a number of randomly distributed microcracks are calculated considering the effect of microcrack closure to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

The rotating Rayleigh-Timoshenko beam element based on B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI) is constructed to discrete short shaft and stiffness disc. The crack is represented by non-dimensional linear spring using linear fracture mechanics theory. The wavelet-based finite element model of rotor system is constructed to solve the first three natural frequencies functions of normalized crack location and depth. The normalized crack location, normalized crack depth and the first three natural frequencies are then employed as the training samples to achieve the neural networks for crack diagnosis. Measured natural frequencies are served as inputs of the trained neural networks and the normalized crack location and depth can be identified. The experimental results of fatigue crack in short shaft is also given.

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to the evaluation of macroscopic material parameters for natural stone and quarry masonry. To that end, a reliable non-linear material model on a meso-scale is developed to cover the random arrangement of stone blocks and quasi-brittle behaviour of both basic components, as well as the impaired cohesion and tensile strength on the interface between the blocks and mortar joints. The paper thus interrelates the following three problems: (i) definition of a suitable periodic unit cell (PUC) representing a particular masonry structure; (ii) derivation of material parameters of individual constituents either experimentally or running a mixed numerical-experimental problem; (iii) assessment of the macroscopic material parameters including the tensile and compressive strengths and fracture energy.

The mechanical properties such as the Young's modulus, damping ratio, vibration mode and hardness of the disk materials heat-treated under various conditions are measured, and the relations between there properties and the cutting characteristics such as early tip fracture are examined. The results obtained from this study are as follows. The circular saw with the V-Cr added disk has higher young's modulus and damping ratio than the saw with STC5 disk, preventing the early fracture of tungsten carbide due to the above properties. The circular saw with the disk which is subjected to the heat treatment at the quenching temperature of $830^{\circ}C$ and at the temperature of $550^{\circ}C$ have the best tool life and surface roughness.

Fractures in the form of micro cracks are commonly found in natural rocks. A rock behaves in a complex way due to fracture; in particular, the anisotropic strength of a rock material is significantly influenced by the presence of these fractures. Therefore, it is essential to understand the failure mechanism of a fractured rock. In this study, a fractured rock is formulated in terms of fabric tensor based on geometric and mechanical simplifications. In this way, position, density and shape of fractures can be determined by the fabric tensor so that rocks containing multi-fractures can successfully be modeled. Also an index to evaluate the degree of anisotropy of a fractured rock is proposed. Hence, anisotropic strength of a rock containing fractures under uniaxial compression condition is estimated through a series of numerical analyses for the multi-fractured model. Numerical investigations are carried out by varying the fracture angle from $0^{\circ}\;to\;90^{\circ}$ and relationship between uniaxial compression strength and the degree of anisotropy is investigated. By comparing anisotropic strength of numerical analysis with analytic solution, this study attempts to understand the failure mechanism of rock containing fractures.

For pure Molybdenum carburized in mixed gases of argon and carbon monoxide, microstructural observations were carried out. X-ray diffraction analysis for carburized specimens revealed that brittle ${\alpha}-Mo_2C$- layer hardly formed in the case of low carbon monoxide concentration. Fracture strength of the specimen carburized at 1673 K for 16 h is about 550 MPa higher than that of the un-carburized specimen. SEM observation revealed that with increasing carburizing temperature, the region demonstrating a transgranular fracture mode progressed towards the center of specimen. This result means that the grain boundaries were strengthened by the grain boundary diffusion of carbon and the strength of grain boundaries exceeded that of grain itself.

Intra-alveolar transverse crown & root fx. provokes many problems in treatment. Conventionally, extraction of the injured tooth and its prosthodontic restoration has been the treatment of choice. Though orthodontic extrusion could be an alternative treatment, there would be a situation it's inadequate to apply. Loss of natural tooth would be a psychological damage to the patient, of course. This report describes a replantation method of tooth in case of intra-alveolar transverse crown & root fracture. The fractured tooth was extracted, rotated, then replanted. Fixation and esthetic restoration was done. And then endodontic treatment was followed. Continuing follow-up of its function and endodontic status is required.

A great number of moment-resisting steel structures collapsed due to ductile crack initiation at welded beam-column connections, followed by explosive brittle fracture in the Kobe (Hyogoken-Nanbu) earthquake in 1995. A series of experimental and numerical studies on cracking behaviors of beam-column connections in steel bridge piers were carried out by the authors' team. This paper aims to study the effect of post weld treatment on cracking behaviors of the connections during a strong earthquake event. Experiments of three specimens with different weld finishes, i.e., as-welded, R-finish, and burr grinding, were conducted. The experimental results indicate that the instants of ductile crack initiation are greatly delayed for the specimens with R-finish and burr grinding finishes compared with the as-welded one. The strain concentration effect in the connection is also greatly reduced in the specimens with post weld treatment compared with the as-welded one, which was also verified in the tests.

In this paper, crack detection method using eigen value analysis is presented. Three methods are used: theoretical analysis, finite element method with the cracked beam elements and finite element method with three dimensional continuum elements. Finite element formulation of the cracked beam element is introduced. Additional term about stress intensity factor based on fracture mechanics theory is added to flexibility matrix of original beam to model the crack. As using calculated stiffness matrix of cracked beam element and mass matrix, natural frequencies are calculated by eigen value analysis. In the case of using continuum elements, the natural frequencies could be calculated by using EDISON CASAD solver. Several cases of crack are simulated to obtain natural frequencies corresponding the crack. The surface of natural frequency is plotted as changing with crack location and depth. Inverse analysis method is used to find crack location and depth from the natural frequencies of experimental data, which are referred by another papers. Predicted results are similar with the true crack location and depth.

결정질 암반에 위치한 가상의 방사성폐기물처분장에 대한 정확한 안전성 평가를 수행하기 위해서는 다공암반으로 대표되는 공학방벽 및 결정질 암반으로 대표되는 자연방벽을 모두 고려한 매질에서의 물질 거동 특성을 정확하게 모사하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 단열-다공암반내 유동 및 물질전달의 정확한 해석을 위한 연결망 구축방법에 대하여 서술하였다. 실제 단열암반을 사실적으로 모사하기 위하여 단열 물성자료는 확률밀도함수를 이용하여 생성하였다. 2차원의 사각격자로 모사된 단열암반과 육면체로 모사된 다공암반간 교차선의 원활한 검색을 위하여 단열암반과 연결전 다공암반의 교차면에 가상의 단열암반을 추가적으로 도입하였다. 전체유동경로를 구성하기 저하여 생성된 단열들 간의 교차선을 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 방법 및 단열암반 및 단열-다공암반간의 연결도를 신속히 확인하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이러한 방법들은 추후 방사성폐기물처분장에서의 단열-다공 암반을 통한 핵종 이동 특성을 모사할 수 있는 수치코드 개발에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.
