A Development of Integrity Evaluation System Based on Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics(I) - Specimen Cases -

탄소성 파괴역학적 건전성 평가 시스템의 개발 I

A practically useful system for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis has been developed. The developed system is comprised of the deformation plasticity failure assessment diagram(DPFAD) approach and the J-integral/Tearing modulus(J/T) approach. The system contains analysis routines for five types of fracture specimens : compact tension, center cracked tension, single edge craked plate in uniform tension, single edge cracked plate in three point bending and double edge cracked plate in tension. A double interpolation scheme was adopted to interpolate J values from the EPRI developed EPFM handbook and the Newton-Raphson method was used to obtain proper loadings for displacement control conditions. A graphic output system was utilized to present numerical results. Several case studies were performed to evaluate the accuracy and the usefulness of the code. It was found that the J/T approach and the DPFAD approach yielded similar results. However, the DPFAD approach is more convenient for qick assessment of integrity of cracked structures while the J/T approach is more useful in evaluating the full history of the fracture process.
