A Fundamental Study on the Fracture Mechanism of Steel Plates under Completely Alternating Load

완전교번하중하(完全交番荷重下)에서의 강판(鋼板)의 파괴기구(破壞機構)에 관한 기차적(基磋的) 연구(研究)

Transition process of plastic region. displacements, stresses and strains ahead the flaw tips were analysed by the finite element method on the steel plate with the circular hole and the one with the elliptical hole under completely alternating load (repetition of tensile loading, unloading and compressive loading). As the results, the followings were obtained. Transition process of elastic failure (yielding) region was estimated. From this the tendency was confirmed that the fracture would be initiated from ahead the flaw tip, and propagated along the $45^{\circ}$ direction. The fundamental data available in estimating the stress intensity factor that was considered as the core in analysing the fracture mechanism of steel plates were obtained. It was indicated that when unloading after tension the effect of compressive loading, and even the compressive reyield, was occured ahead the flaw tip. Similarly it was indicated that when unloading after compression the effect of tensile loading, and even the tensile reyield, was occured ahead the flaw tip. It was considered that these phenomena were occured because the unloading effect was constrained by the residual strains when unloading. It was considered that the fatigue phenomenon was occured ahead, the flaw tip by repetition of tensile yield, the above compressive reyield, compressive yeild and the above tensile reyield. In addition, the tendency was confirmed that the fracture ahead the flaw tip was occured as the flaw was changed from the circular hole to the elliptical hole and became to be the crack lastly.

원구멍과 타원구멍을 갖는 두 개의 강판(鋼板)에 완전교번하중(完全交番荷重)(completely reversed load, completely alternating load ;같은 크기의 인장(引張) 압축(壓縮)의 반복)을 가할 때 유한요소법(有限要素法)을 써서 강복요소(降伏要素)가 발생하는 단계마다 각 절점(節點)의 변위(變位), 각 요소(要素)의 응력(應力) 및 변형률(變形率), 하중(荷重)의 크기 등을 계산하여 파괴력학적(破壞力學的)인 검토를 행하였다. 이로부터, 강판(鋼板)의 파괴기구(破壞機構)를 밝히는 데에 핵심이 된다고 생각되는 응력확대계수(應力擴大係數)를 계산할 수 있는 토대가 마련되었으며, 흠선단(先端)의 응력집중(應力集中)현상과 소성역(塑性域)의 변화과정이 밝혀졌다. 또, 재하(載荷) 중에 강복(降伏)을 경험한 부분에서는 강하(降荷)때에 영구변형(永久變形)(잔류변형(殘留變形))이 남게 되고 이것이 나머지의 제하(除荷)를 구속(拘束)하여 반대방향의 재하(載荷)의 효과를 일으킴으로서 흠선단(先端)에 가까운 부분에는 인장(引張) 후의 제하(除荷) 때에 심지어 압축재강복(壓縮再降伏)까지, 압축(壓縮) 후의 제하(除荷) 때에는 심지어 인장재강복(引張再降伏)까지 일으키며 이들이 인장(引張) 및 압축(壓縮)의 재하(載荷) 중의 강복(降伏)과 교번(交番)으로 반복됨으로써 흠선단(先端)에 파로(波勞)현상을 초래하게 된다는 사실을 예견할 수 있었다. 아울러 흠이 원구멍일 때와 타원구멍일 때의 계산결과를 비교하여 홈이 예리한 균열에 가까워질수록 빨리 파괴에 달하게 된다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
