Abstract

Three Surface cracks are among the more common flaws in aircraft and pressure vessel components. Accurate stress intensity analyses and crack growth rate data of surface-cracked components are needed for reliable prediction of their fatigue life and fracture strengths. Three Dimensional finite element method (FEM) was used to obtain the stress intensity factor for surface cracks existing in structures. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Nodes are generated by bucket method, and quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. To examine accuracy and efficiency of the present system, the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack in cylindrical structures subjected to pressure is calculated. Analysis results by present system showed good agreement with those by ASME equation and Raju-Newman's equation.

3차원 균열은 항공기나 압력용기 계통에서 흔히 발견되는 결함중의 하나이다. 균열을 갖는 구조물에 대한 정확한 응력확대계수 해석과 균열성장속도는 파괴강도와 피로수명을 평가하는데 필요로 한다. 3차원 유한요소법은 구조물에 존재하는 표면균열의 응력확대계수를 구하는데 이용되어 진다. 기하모델, 즉 균열을 포함하는 솔리드모델을 정의한 후, 절점이 버켓법에 의해 생성되어 진다. 요소생성은 사변형 솔리드요소를 데라우니 삼각화 기술에 의해 생성하도록 하였다. 시스템의 정확도와 효용성을 체크하기 위해 내압을 받는 원통형용기에 균열이 존재하는 경우의 응력확대계수 해석을 수행하였다. 개발된 시스템을 이용한 해석결과는 ASME 식과 Raju-Newnam식과 비교하여 5%이내의 차이를 보였다.
