수소 취성 파괴는 수소가 풍부한 환경에 노출된 재료의 구조적 무결성을 보장하는 데 있어 다양한 산업 응용 분야에서 큰 도전 과제 이다. 본 연구는 연성 파괴 모델인 Gurson-Cohesive 모델과 수소 확산 모델을 통합하는 수치 모델을 제안하고 수소 취화가 파괴 거동 에 끼치는 영향을 조사한다. 사용된 연성 파괴 모델은 손상 진화를 모사하는 Gurson 모델과 균열 표면의 불연속성과 응력-균열폭 관계 의 연화 거동을 설명하는 표면 요소 기반의 Cohesive zone 모델을 결합한 파괴 모델이며, 균열 시작 기준으로 공극과 삼축성을 고려한 다. 또한, 파괴 모델과 통합된 수소 확산 분석은 수소 강화 탈결합(HEDE) 메커니즘과 그에 따른 균열 시작 및 진전에 미치는 영향을 고 려하며, 응력-균열폭 관계에 대한 수소의 영향을 고려한다. 수치 예제로 매개변수 연구를 통하여 확산 계수와 수소 취화 파과 특성에 대한 민감도를 조사한다. 수소 확산 모델과 연성 파괴 모델을 통합한 프레임워크를 제시함으로써 본 연구는 수소 취화 파괴에 대한 이 해를 제공하여 엔지니어링 응용 분야에서 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 딥러닝을 활용하여 복합재 적층판의 파괴 모드를 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 수많은 엔지니어링 응용 분야에서 적층 복합재의 사용이 증가함에 따라 무결성과 성능을 보장하는 것이 중요해졌다. 그러나 재료의 이방성으로 인해 복잡하게 나타나 는 파괴모드를 식별하는 것은 도메인 지식이 필요하고, 시간이 많이 드는 작업이다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서 는 인공 지능(AI) 기술을 활용하여 적층 복합재의 파괴 모드 분석을 자동화하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이 목표를 달성하기 위해 적층된 복합재에서 파손된 인장 시험편의 주사 전자 현미경(SEM) 이미지를 얻어 다양한 파괴 모드를 확보하였다. 이러한 SEM 이미지는 섬 유 파손, 섬유 풀아웃, 혼합 모드 파괴, 매트릭스 취성 파손 및 매트릭스 연성 파손과 같은 다양한 파손 모드를 기준으로 분류하였다. 다 음으로 모든 클래스의 집합 데이터를 학습, 테스트, 검증 데이터 세트로 구분하였다. 두 가지 딥 러닝 기반 사전 훈련 모델인 DenseNet 과 GoogleNet을 이용해 각 파괴 모드에 대한 차별적 특징을 학습하도록 훈련하였다. DenseNet 및 GoogleNet 모델은 각각 (94.01% 및 75.49%) 및 (84.55% 및 54.48%)의 훈련 및 테스트 정확도를 보여주었다. 그런 다음 훈련된 딥 러닝 모델은 검증 데이터 세트를 활용해 검증하였다. 더 깊은 아키텍처로 인해 DenseNet 모델이 고품질 특징을 추출하여 84.44% 검증 정확도(GoogleNet 모델보다 36.84% 더 높음)를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 DenseNet 모델이 높은 정밀도로 파괴 모드를 예측함으로써 적층 복합재의 파손 분석을 수행 하는 데 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

Al-Mg-Si alloys are light weight and have excellent corrosion resistance, and are attracting attention as a liner material for high-pressure hydrogen containers in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Because it has excellent plastic hardening properties, it is also applied to car body panel materials, but it is moderate in strength, so research to improve the strength by adding Si-rich or Cu is in progress. So far, the authors have conducted research on the intergranular fracture of alloys with excessive Si addition from the macroscopic mechanical point of view, such as specimen shape. To evaluate their impact tensile properties, the split-Hopkinson bar impact test was performed using thin plate specimens of coarse and fine grain alloys of Al-Mg-X (X = Cr,Si) alloy. The effect of the shape of the specimen on the characteristics was studied through finite element method (FEM) analysis. As a result, it was found that the intergranular fracture of the alloy with excessive Si depended on the specimen width (W)/grain size (d), which can be expressed by the specimen size and grain size. As W/d decreases, the intergranular fracture transforms into a transgranular fracture. As the strain rate increases, the fracture elongation decreases, and the fracture surface of the intergranular fracture becomes more brittle. It was confirmed that intergranular fracture occurred in the high strain rate region even in materials with small grain sizes.

In this study, the relationship between the color of the pigment added to the plastic resin and the size of the fractured part of the specimen was confirmed when processing ABS plastic tensile specimens using a sealed 3D printer. Through the test, it was confirmed that the fracture dimension existed in the range of 13.104 to 13.138 ㎜ and there was no significant difference in dimension according to the color of the additive, and the null hypothesis was adopted. In addition, it was confirmed that a significant difference occurred in the order of red, black, white, and green colors.

In the present work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were anchored with the assistance of vinyl ester resin (VE) on the carbon fiber surfaces of conventional carbon fabrics (CCF) and semi-spread carbon fabrics (SSCF) having different areal density, ply thickness, and crimp number, respectively. Here, MWCNT anchoring means that MWCNT were physically attached on the individual carbon fiber surfaces of each fabric by coating with dilute VE and then by thermally curing it. The MWCNT anchoring effect on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of CCF/VE and SSCF/VE composites was investigated. MWCNT were also simply applied (without physical attachment) to the carbon fiber surfaces of CCF and SSCF for comparison, respectively. It was found that SSCF/VE composites exhibited the ILSS higher than CCF/VE composites, regardless of simple-applying or anchoring of MWCNT, increasing the ILSS with the MWCNT concentration. It was noted that MWCNT anchoring was effective to improve not only the interlaminar adhesion but also the interfacial bonding between the carbon fiber and the matrix due to the formation of MWCNT bridges between the individual carbon fibers of SSCF, indicating that the MWCNT anchoring effect was more pronounced with SSCF than with CCF. The result of the interlaminar property was well supported by the fiber and composite fracture topography.

Evaluation of low temperature performance of asphalt mixture is significant not only for mitigating transverse thermal cracking but also for preventing potential traffic accidents. In addition, the engineers in pavement agency need to inform the proper pavement section where urgent management is needed. Since early 2000, Korea Expressway Corporation Research Division (KECRD) developed an 3D Pavement condition Monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM) to survey expressway pavement surface condition precisely. The management of whole expressway network became more precise, effective and efficient than before due to application of 3DPM and HPMS. One thing recommended is: performing extensive mechanical test and corresponding data analysis work procedure to further strengthen the feasibility of current 3DPM approach and HPMS. In this paper two activities were considered: first, the pavement section where the urgent care is recommended is selected by means of 3DPM approach. Then asphalt mixture cores were acquired on that specified section then low temperature fracture test: Semi Circular Bending (SCB) test, was performed. The mechanical parameters, energy release rate and fracture toughness were computed then compared. It is concluded that the current 3DPM approach in KEC can successfully evaluate and analyze selected pavement condition. However, more extensive experimental works are needed to further strengthen the current pavement analyzing approaches.

In this study, we investigated the change in fracture properties after friction stir welding on Al606. In the L-T direction test, the fracture toughness of the unwelded base material was 275 MPa, and the specimen subjected to friction stir welding (FSW) was 227 MPa, showing that the fracture toughness decreased significantly with friction stir welding. In the T-L direction test, the difference between the base material and the weld material was not large, but the fracture toughness was shown to decrease during welding. In the comparison of the L-T direction and the T-L direction, it was found that both the base material and the weld material showed high fracture toughness in the L-T direction.In this study, the following conclusions were obtained after friction stir welding of Al 6061-T6.

This study reports an experimental and analytical exploration of concrete columns laterally confined with Fe-based shape-memory alloy (Fe-SMA) spirals. For performing experiments, Fe-SMA rebars with a 4% prestrain and diameter of 10 mm were fabricated and concrete columns with internal Fe-SMA spiral reinforcement were constructed with a diameter of 200 mm and height of 600 mm. An acrylic bar with an attached strain gauge was embedded in the center of the specimen to measure local strains. Experimental variables encompassed the Fe-SMA spiral reinforcement, spacing, and activation temperature. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted after applying active confinement to the concrete columns through electrical-resistance heating. Notably, as the Fe-SMA spiral spacing decreased, the local failure zone length and compressive fracture energy of the prepared specimens increased. Additionally, a model incorporating compressive fracture energy was proposed to predict the stress–strain behavior of the. This model, accounting for active and passive confinement effects, demonstrated accurate predictions for the experimental results of this study as well as for previously reported results.

The membrane structure should maintain the membrane materials in tension for structural stability guaranty. The anchoring part in the membrane structure is an important part. It has the function to introduce tension into membrane materials and function to transmit stress which membrane materials receives to boundary structure such as steel frames. In this paper, it grasps anchoring system of the anchoring part in the membrane structure concerning the fracturing characteristic condition of membrane structure, and the influence which is caused to yield it designates the stress state when breaking the membrane structure which includes the anchoring part and that stress transition mechanism is elucidated as purpose. This paper follows to previous paper, does 1 axial tensile test concerning the bolting part specimen, grasp of fracturing progress of the bolting part and the edge rope and hardness of the rubber, does the appraisal in addition with the difference of bolt tightening torque. As a result, the influence which the bolt anchoring exerts on the fracturing characteristics of the membrane material in the membrane structure anchoring part is examined.

PURPOSES : The evaluation of the low-temperature performance of an asphalt mixture is crucial for mitigating transverse thermal cracking and preventing traffic accidents on expressways. Engineers in pavement agencies must identify and verify the pavement sections that require urgent management. In early 2000, the research division of the Korea Expressway Corporation developed a three-dimensional (3D) pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM) and an advanced infographic (AIG) highway pavement management system computer program. Owing to these efforts, the management of the entire expressway network has become more precise, effective, and efficient. However, current 3DPM and AIG technologies focus only on the pavement surface and not on the entire pavement layer. Over the years, along with monitoring, further strengthening and verification of the feasibility of current 3DPM and AIG technologies by performing extensive mechanical tests and data analyses have been recommended. METHODS : First, the pavement section that required urgent care was selected using the 3DPM and AIG approaches. Second, asphalt mixture cores were acquired from the specified section, and a low-temperature fracture test, semi- circular bending (SCB) test, was performed. The mechanical parameters, energy-release rate, and fracture toughness were computed and compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt mixture cores acquired from the specified pavement section ( poor condition – bad section) exhibited negative fracture performances compared to the control section (good section). CONCLUSIONS : The current 3DPM and AIG approaches in KEC can successfully evaluate and analyze selected pavement conditions. However, more extensive experimental studies and mathematical analyses are required to further strengthen and upgrade current pavement analysis approaches.

본 연구에서는 평활화 유한요소법(Smoothed finite element method)을 도입한 위상분야법(Phase-field method)에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 위상분야법은 최근 균열 개시 및 전파 해석에 많이 사용되는 기법으로 균열 표면을 추적하기 위한 추가적인 처리기법이 필요하 지 않는 특징이 있다. 위상분야법에서 복잡한 균열 전파를 포착하기 위해 높은 정확도의 변형률 에너지를 평활화 유한요소법을 도입 하여 계산하였다. 평활화 유한요소법은 유한요소를 하위 셀로 나누고 각각의 하위 셀을 평활화 영역으로 재조립하여 변형률 에너지 를 계산하게 된다. 또한 해석 시간 단축을 위하여 쿼드트리 요소망을 제안한 기법에 사용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 제안한 기법을 참 조해 및 유한요소법과 비교하여 검증하였다.

Few studies have been performed on ZrB2- graphite platelet composite made by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. In this research, the influence of adding graphite platelets (Gp) with and without SiC on the fracture toughness of ZrB2 ceramic was studied. The ZrB2- 10Gp, ZrB2- 15Gp, ZrB2- 30SiC-10Gp, and ZrB2- 30SiC-15Gp specimens were sintered by the SPS method at the temperature of 1850 °C for 8 min. The fracture toughness and work of fracture (WOF) were evaluated using the Single-Edge Notched Beam (SENB) technique. It was found that the fracture toughness and WOF were improved by the alone and combined addition of Gp and SiC to the monolithic ZrB2. The maximum fracture toughness of 4.8 ± 0.1 MPa m1/ 2 was obtained for the ZrB2- 15Gp specimen. It seems that adding Gp alone was more effective in enhancing the fracture toughness of ZrB2 than the combined addition of Gp and SiC. While the addition of Gp and SiC simultaneously modified the densification behavior to reach full-densified samples.

Rapid development of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced to polymer composites has been recently noticed in many aspects. In this work, the latest developments on fatigue and fracture enhancement of polymer composites with CNTs reinforcement with diverse methods are thoroughly compiled and systematically reviewed. The existing available researches clearly demonstrate that fatigue fracture resistance of polymer composites can be improved accordingly with the addition of CNTs. However, this work identifies an interesting research gap for the first time in this field. Based on the systematic reviewing approach, it is noticed that all previously performed experiments in this field were mostly focused upon studying one factor only at a time. In addition, it is also addressed that there were no previous studies reported a relationship or effect of one factor upon others during examining the fatigue fracture of carbon nanotubes. Moreover, there was no adequate discussion demonstrating the interaction of parameters or the influence of one parameter upon another when both were examined simultaneously. It is also realized that the scope of the conducted fatigue fracture studies of carbon nanotubes were mainly focused on microscale fatigue analysis but not the macroscale one, which can consider the effect of environment and service condition. In addition, the inadequacy of fatigue life predicting models via analytical and numerical methods for CNT-reinforced polymer composites have also been highlighted. Besides, barriers and challenges for future directions on the application of CNT-reinforced polymer composite materials are also discussed here in details.

본 연구는 재래 철근콘크리트공법의 거푸집 및 철근보강재를 FRP 판으로 대체한 개념이다. FRP판에 리브를 갖게 하여 FRP 판과 콘크리트 합성을 개선하고 거푸집의 강성증가를 유도하여 영구거푸집 및 철근보강재로 활용하는 방안이다. 본 연구는 전단경간비가 짧고 리브가 있는 FRP 판과 콘크리트 합성보의 휨/전단 파괴거동과 균열형태를 비교 분석하였다. 콘크리트의 경우 CDP 모델을 사용하였고, 외연적 비선형 유한요소해석 결과와 기존 실험결과를 정점 하중 및 균열형태에 대해 비교 분석하였다. 유효균열방향 개념을 사용하여 콘크리트 균열패턴을 시각적으로 표현하였다. 인장 등가소성변형률이 0 보다 큰 곳에서 균열이 시작된다고 가정하고, 균열평면에 수직인 벡터의 방향은 최대 주소성변형률의 방향과 평행한 것으로 가정하였다. 이 방향을 콘 크리트의 균열으로 생각하여 실험에서 확보한 균열형태와 비교 분석하였다. ABAQUS/Explicit 의 CDP 모델은 FRP 합성구조체의 비선형 거동 및 균열형태 모사가 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 초기강성의 불일치는 리브가 있는 FRP 판과 콘크리트 사이의 미세균열 및 접착력 등의 문제로 인해 발생한 것으로 사료되며 1차 정점 하중 및 균열형태를 적절히 추적할 수 있으므로 앞으로 다양 한 FRP 합성구조시스템의 거동 및 균열해석에 이용 가능할 것으로 판단되나 보다 다양한 파괴 매카니즘에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

While efforts have been made to address fall-related injuries in older adults, the problem is unsolved to date. The purpose of this review is to provide a guideline for fall and injury prevention programs in older adults, based on evidence generated over the past 30 years. Research articles published between 1990 and 2020 have been searched on PubMed, using keywords, including but not limited to, falls, hip fracture, injuries, intervention, older adults, prevention, hip protector, vitamin D, safe landing strategy, and exercise. Total of 98 articles have been found and categorized into five intervention areas: exercise program, hip protector, safe landing strategy, vitamin D intake, and compliant flooring. Furthermore, the articles have been rated based on their study design: class 1, randomized controlled trials; class 2, nonrandomized controlled trials; class 3, experimental studies; class 4, all other studies. Exercise programs have shown to decrease the risk of fall, and associated injuries. Hip protectors, safe landing strategy, and vitamin D intake were effective in reducing a risk and incidence of hip fracture during a fall. Furthermore, compliant flooring has also decreased hip fracture risk without affecting balance. An integrated approach combining exercise program, wearing a hip protector, teaching safe landing strategies, scheduled vitamin D intake, and compliant flooring installation, is suggested to address fall-related injuries in older adults.

In turbopump type liquid rocket engines, ignition and starting are known to be the most unstable and risky section among all operating sections of the projectile. The operation of the liquid rocket engine is the process of ignition and combustion of the main combustor after the turbo pump is driven into a stable section due to the turbine driving of the turbo pump and the ignition and combustion of the gas generator by the pyro starter. In this process, the driving of related components directly influences each other, so each component must be operated with sufficient reliability. In particular, if the igniter does not supply sufficient ignition energy at a predetermined time, an explosion may occur due to stagnation of the fuel/oxidant mixture, so reliability is more important. In this study, the fracture analysis of the gas generator igniter rupture disk according to the shape was performed using computational analysis. As a result, comparative analysis was performed to obtain the optimal dimensions according to each variable condition.

This paper aims to experimentally and numerically explore fracture mechanism characteristics of ultra-thin chopped carbon fiber tape-reinforced thermoplastics (UT-CTT) hat-shaped hollow beam under transverse static and impact loadings. Three distinct failure modes were observed in the impact bending tests, whereas only one similar progressive collapse mode was observed in the transverse bending tests. The numerical model was to incorporate some hypothetical inter-layers in UT-CTT and assign them with the failure model as cohesive zone model, which can perform non-linear characteristics with failure criterion for representing delamination failure. The dynamic material parameters for the impact model were theoretically predicted with consideration of strain-rate dependency. It shows that the proposed modeling approach for interacting damage modes can serve as a benchmark for modeling damage coupling in composite materials.
