Abstract

Fatigue tests using a single-peak loading and a two-step loading were carried out to examine the fatigue crack growth behaviar and to find the appropriate analysis method. C-T specimens were made using structural steel SWS58 for the tests. From this, just after a single-peak loading acceleration effect was occured and after some times retardation effect was found. And eminent retardation effect was found after High-Low two-step loading. The transition effect of crack growth due to this variable loading was occured owing to the residual stress and the plastic zone size at the crack tip. And the behaviors of these are well explained by Elber's Crack Closure Model. Also I could find that the Wheeler's Retardation Model is a simple and appropriate theory among analysis methods of fatigue crack growth under the variable loading.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 단순변동하중하(單純變動荷重下)에서의 피로균열성장거동(疲勞龜裂成長擧動)을 고찰하고 해석방법(解析方法)을 구하고자, 용접구조용강(鎔接構造用鋼) SWS 58을 사용하여 CT 시험편을 제작하고 간단한 하중모델을 설정(設定)하여 피로실험(疲勞實驗)을 행했다. 그 결과 단일과하중작용직후(單一過荷重作用直後)에는 가속효과(加速效果)가 경미(輕微)하게 발생하였으며 그후 상당한 지연효과(遲延效果)가 발생했다. 2단중복하중하(段重復荷重下)에서는 low-high인 경우 약간의 가속효과(加速效果)가 발생하나 high-low인 경우는 상당한 지연효과(遲延效果)가 발생했다. 이러한 하중변화(荷重變化)에 따른 균열성장율(龜裂成長率)(da/dN)은 균열선단(龜裂先端)의 잔류응력(殘留應力)과 소성영역(塑性領域)으로 인한 상호영향(相互影響)때문이며, 이러한 미시적(微視的) 균열성장거동(龜裂成長擧動)은 Elber의 crack closure model로 잘 설명(說明)될 수 있으나 피로균열성장해석방법(疲勞龜裂成長解析方法)으로는 불충분(不充分)하다. 반면 변동하중하(變動荷重下)에서의 피로균열성장해석방법(疲勞龜裂成長解析方法) 중(中) Wheeler의 retardation model은 간편하면서도 적합한 이론임을 알 수 있었다.
