구조물의 피로파괴 현상과 이에 대한 제어기술의 현황을 선형파괴역학적 접근방법을 중심으로 간략히 정리하였다. 현재까지의 연구결과들이 결집되므로써 피로파괴 제어기술 분야의 기초기술은 거의 정립된 단계에 이른 것으로 보여진다. 그러나 구조물의 사용환경은 고응력, 고온 또는 초저온 등으로 더욱 가혹해지는 경향이 있고 고장력강과 복합재료 등 신소재의 사용범위 확대에 의한 경량화 구조설계의 실현, 그리고 생산성 향상을 위한 용접구조물의 보편화 등에 따라 파괴역학의 적용분야는 점차 확대되고 있으며 이를 뒷받침하기 위한 기초 및 응용연구의 필요성도 더 커지고 있다.

Microcracking of type 304 stainless steel at $593^{\circ}C(1,100^{\circ}F)$ has been studied, in particular, initiation, growth, and coalescence of fatigue and creep microcracks on smooth specimens and small notch specimens via surface replicas and photomicrographs. Quantitative information, such as, initiation period, growth, and coalescence behavior, statistical distributions of crack length, density of cracks, distribution patterns and crack growth properties, were obtained. From this study, the fracture process, fatigue life, and creep life prediction characterized by the growth of surface microcracks have been analysed by a new approach unifying the conventional approaches based on the final fracture of materials with the fracture mechanics approach. Knowledge of these parameters is critical for the application of fracture mechanics to fatigue and creep life assessment, and the damage evaluation of structures at elevated temperature.

원자로 압력용기 및 주 배관등 원자력발전소 주요부품 구조재료에서의 파괴저항성 및 건전성 문제를 일부 시험결과 및 평가결과와 함께 살펴보았다. 원자력환경하에서는 중성자 조사에 의한 조사취화 및 고온에서의 장기간 유지에 따른 열취ㅘ로 재료 고유의 파괴저항치가 가동에 따라 매우 감소하고, 이에 따라 부품의 건전성 및 수명이 매우 위협받고 있음을 확인하였다. 현재 가동중인 원자로 10기, 건설중인 8기, 합계 18기로 세계 9위의 원자력발전국이 되며, 대북 경수로 지원과 세계시장 진출을 계획하고 있는 우리나라에서는, 보다 안전한 원자력발전소가 건설되기 위해서, 재료의 균질성 및 파괴인성 개선연구, 조사특성 연구 등을 통해 파괴저항성이 우수한 국산소재를 제작\ulcorner공급하도록 하여야 한다. 또한, 수명기간 동안 고도의 건전성을 유지하면서 운전하고, 나아가 수명연장 운전을 위해서는, 용기 등 주요 부품의 상태(파괴인성치, 결함, 작용 응력)를 정확히 진단, 예측, 평가하여야 하고, 이들이 건전성에 미치는 영향평가와 건전성평가기술 확립을 통한 수명예측기술을 확보하여야 한다(이들은 대부분 파괴역학 시험 침 해석기술에 바 탕을 두고 있다). 국내 산\ulcorner학\ulcorner연 관련자들의 특별한 관심을 촉구하는 바이다.

Rotating bending fatigue tests of an authentic steel 304 were performed at various temperatures such as room temperature, $538^{\circ}$ and $593^{\circ}C$. The plastic replica method was also applied in order to estimate the fatigue life on the basis of serial observation of small fatigue crack initiation and growth on the pit specimen surface. The fatigue crack growth behavior of 304 stainless steel was investigated within the frame work of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics within a narrow scatterband in spite of different stress levels at elevated temperature as at room temperature. The growth law of small surface crack is determined uniquely by the term. $\DELTA\sigma^{n}a$ where $\DELTA\sigma$ is the stress amplitude, a is the crack length, and n is a constant. It is found that the small crack growth behavior is basically equivalent to the S-$N_{f}$ relationship, where S and $N_{f}$ are stress and number of cycles to failure, and the fatigue life prediction is in good agreement with the experimental results.

The main purpose of this study is to derive a law of fatigue crack growth rate in the region of elastic or elasto-plastic fracture mechanics at elevated temperatures through the application of dimensional analysis. An equation of elasto-plastic fatigue crack growth rate at elevated temperatures appeared a new Arrhenius type equation containing J-integral range and absolute temperature. The elastic or elasto-plastic crack growth rate equation shows a fairly good agreement with the experimental results for Cr-Mo-V rotor steel and Hastelloy-X alloy in the comparatively wide temperature ranges.

This paper performs laboratory experiments for borehole stability considering temperature and true triaxial stress condition, and observes a thermo-mechanical behavior of the rock under stress and temperature conditions of deep underground. China yellow sandstone and Hwangdeung granite specimens were used to perform a true triaxial compression test. Mechanical tests were carried out under nine confining pressure conditions, and thermo-mechanical tests using granite samples were carried out under six confining pressure conditions at 60-100℃. In the mechanical tests, maximum principal stress at borehole breakout was proportional to intermediate principal stress. In the thermo-mechanical tests, it was confirmed that thermal stress is added to the stress field of the borehole with the increase in temperature, resulting in additional breakout progress. To analyze the results of the laboratory experiment, Mogi-Coulomb failure criterion was used. The results of traditional triaxial compression test on cylindrical specimens and borehole breakout under true triaxial compressions matched well with Mogi-Coulomb failure criterion.

In recent years, the subject of remaining life assessment has drawn considerable attention in power plants, where various structural components typically operate at high temperature and pressure. Thus a life prediction methodology accounting for high temperature creep fracture is increasingly needed for the components. Critical defects in such structures are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface crack, and the analysis of which is consequently an important problem in engineering fracture mechanics. On this background, we first develop an auto mesh generation program for detailed 3-D finite element analyses of axial and circumferential semi-elliptical surface cracks in a piping system. A high temperature creep fracture parameter $C^{\ast}$-integral is obtained from the finite element analyses of generated 3-D models. Post crack growth module is further appended here to calculate the amount of crack growth. Finally the remaining lives of surface cracked pipes for various analytical parameters are assessed using the developed life assessment program.

This paper deals with the micro-surface-cracks behavior on the unnotched smooth specimens of Type 304 stainless steel at $593^{\circ}C$ in air under creep and creep-fatigue conditions that have 10 mim and 1 min load holding times respectively. The behaviors of the micro-surface-cracks have been visualized by means of surface replica method and optical micro-photography. The quantitative characteristics of initiation, growth and coalescence of micro-surface-cracks have been investigated by observing and measuring the crack growth behaviors. some of the important results are as follows: Main crack initiates at grain boundary in the early stage(10 to 20%)of its life time and grows through coalescence and finally leads to fracture. The distribution of micro-surface-crack length, 2a, can be plotted against the composite Weibull distribution. The growth rate of the main crack can be plotted against the stress intensity factor, crack tip opering displacement and J integral.

In this study, behavior of $C_t$ which is a well-known fracture parameter characterizing creep crack growth rate, is investigated for weld interface cracks. Finite element analyses were per formed for a C(T) specimen under constant loading condition for elastic-plastic-creeping materials. In modeling C(T) geometry, an interface was employed along the crack plane which simulated the interface between weld and base metals. The $C_t$ versus time relations were obtained under various creep constant combinations and plastic constant combinations for weld and base metals, respectively. A unified $C_t$ versus time curve is obtained by normalizing $C_t$ with $C^*$ and t with $t_T$ for all the cases of material constant variations.
