Experimental Study on Plane Stress Fracture Toughness and Fatigue Crack Propagation of SS304 and SS316

SS304와 SS316의 평면응력 파괴인성치 측정과 피로 균열 전파에 대한 실험적 연구

A simple and relatively new experimental method is proposed to estimate the plane stress fracture toughness by using compact tension (CT) specimen. The anti-buckling plates (fabricated to prevent the buckling caused by the 45 plastic yielding around crack tip under the plane stress condition) help to determine the relatively accurate plane stress fracture toughness of two stainless steels (SS304 and SS316). The fatigue crack propagation behavior of two stainless steels under two different loading conditions such as 10Hz and 5Hz frequency fatigue loadings was investigated by using image analysis technique (IAT) which renders several technical advantages over various conventional measuring methods. It was found that the IAT could be used to estimate fatigue crack lengths more effectively. Furthermore, it was suggested that we might control the measuring time interval for fatigue crack propagation by nearly automatically controlled technical process with the help of IAT.

CT 시험편을 사용하여 평면응력 파괴인성치를 산정하는 간단하고 새로운 방법론을 제안하였다. 평면응력 조건하의 균열선단에서 발생하는 좌굴을 방지하는 판을 부착하여 SS304와 SS316의 평면응력 파괴인성치를 정확하게 결정하였다. SS304와 SS316의 피로균열 전파거동이 피로하중 주파수에 미치는 영향을 영상해석법(LAT)을 사용하여 규명하였다.
