연성 균열성장의 해석

An Analysis for The Ductile Crack Growth

본 연구에서는 성장하는 균열선단에서 열림변위의 임계증분에 대한 균열성장 조건에 기본을 두고 계산된 파단하중을 실험결과와 비교하여 균열성장저항을 특성 지 을수 있는 새로운 재료상수를 제안한 것이다.

This paper presents a methodology for predicting stable crack growth and instability of a cracked body under monotonically increasing load. It is based on a model that incremental crack extensions and load increments after fracture initiation occur by turns in sequence and the criterion that the crack grows by an incremebt .delta.a when the opening displacement at the current crack tip increases by a critical value V$_{c}$. It is shown that the value I$_{c}$ = V$_{c}$/ .delta. a is a material constant characterizing ductile crack growth resistance. Along with the fracture initiation toughness value, the constant is used for the calculation of the loads against crack extensions by adding up each increment. The specimen failure is defined to occur when the necessary load increment for crack extension is zero or when the limit load in the current ligament is reached. The predicted failure loads are in good agreement with the avaliable experimental failure loads for the compact and center-cracked tension specimens of 7075-T651, 2024-T351 aluminum alloys and 304 stainless steel.steel.
