This paper studies impact fracture behavior under temperature variation and compressive flexural strength of cement composites using VAE(vinyl acetate ethylene) powder polymer and PVA(polyvinyl alcohol) fiber. Impact test were conducted in the temperature range selected for the $-35^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$. In this experimental study, impact test were carried out using a drop impact testing machine (Ceast 9350) to obtain such as displacement, time, and impact fracture energy of normal specimen and and cement composites specimen. As test results, the use of VAE powder polymer and PVA fiber were observed to enhance the flexural strength of mortar. The compressive strength of PVA fibers reinforced cement composites was slightly decreased at 28 days, but the flexural strength was observed to increase 24.4% of normal mortar strength. As a result of the drop impact tests, PVA fiber reinforced cement composites specimens showed microcracks due to energy dispersion and crack prevention with bridge effect of the fibers, and scabbing or perforation by impact was suppressed. On the other hand, the normal mortar and VAE powder polymer cement composites specimens were carried out to the perforation and macro crack. Most of normal mortar and the cement composites subjected to impact load on specimens shows mostly local brittle failure. The impact resistant performance of the specimen with PVA fiber was greatly improved due to the increase of flexure performance.

Fatigue life and crack retardation behavior after penetration were experimentally examined using surface pre-cracked specimens of aluminium alloy 5083. The Wheeler model retardation parameter was used successfully to predict crack growth behavior after penetration. By using a crack propagation rule, the change in crack shape after penetration can be evaluated quantitatively. Advanced, waveform-based acoustic emission (AE) techniques have been successfully used to evaluate signal characteristics obtained form fatigue crack propagation and penetratin behavior in 6061 aluminum plate with surface crack under fatigue stress. Surface defects in the structural members are apt to be origins of fatigue crack growth, which may cause serious failure of the whole structure. The nondestructive analysis on the crack growth and penetration from these defects may, therefore, be one of the most important subjects on the reliability of the leak before break (LBB) design. The goal of the present study is to determine if different sources of the AE could be identified by characteristics of the waveforms produced from the crack growth and penetration. AE signals detected in four stages were found to have different signal per stage. With analysis of waveform and power spectrum in 6061 aluminum alloys with a surface crack, it is found to be capabilities on real-time monitoring for the crack propagation and penetration behavior of various damages and defects in structural members.

This paper presents the results of integrity assessment for the cracks happened in reactor vessel upper head penetration nozzles. The crack morphology for a boat sample from crack area was analyzed through microscope. The stress condition including weld residual stress around crack was analyzed using finite element analysis. From the results of crack morphology and stress condition, the crack was concluded as primary water stress corrosion cracking. The integrity of the cracked nozzle was assessed by the methodology provided in ASME Section XI. According to the assessment results, the remaining life of the cracked nozzle was 1.43 yrs. and the plant decided to repair it.

Alloy 600과 Alloy 690의 응력부식파괴(Stress corrosion cracking, SCC)에 미치는 TiO$_2$의 영향을 315$^{\circ}C$의 10%NaOH 수용액에서 RUB(reverse U-bend) 시편, C-Ring 시편과 CT(compact tension)시편을 사용하여 평가하였다. 시편은 alloy 600 MA(mill anneal), alloy 600 TT(thermal treatment) 그리고 alloy 690 TT로 제작하였다. SCC 시험은 탈산된 10%NaOH 수용액에 2 g/1 TiO$_2$를 첨가한 용액과 첨가하지 않은 용액에서 수행하였으며, 이 조건에서 분극곡선도 얻었다. SCC 시험시 시편을 부식전위로부터 +150 ㎷ 양극분극을 가하였다. 기준전극으로 external Ag/AgCl electrode를 사용하였다. Alloy 600 MA로 제작한 RUB 시편은 TiO$_2$가 없는 용액에서 5일 안에 벽 관통 균열을 보였으나 TiO$_2$가 첨가된 용액에서는 균열을 관찰할 수 없었다. TiO$_2$가 첨가됨에 따라 alloy 600과 alloy 690의 임계전류밀도는 크게 감소하였고 또한 부동태 전류밀도도 감소하였다. 부동테 영역에서 TiO$_2$가 있는 용액의 경우 여러 peak가 있는 반면에 TiO$_2$가 없는 용액은 peak가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 이런 결과는 TiO$_2$가 첨가점에 따라 active region에서도 안정한 부동태 피막이 존재한다는 것을 시사한다. 또한 TiO$_2$가 없는 경우 SCC가 잘 일어나는 영역에 존재하는 부동태 피막이 TiO$_2$ 첨가에 따라 repassivation kinetics 등의 성질이 변화한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a method for determining Ramberg-Osgood constants for leak-before-break evaluation was investigated. The Ramberg-Osgood constants were calculated for SA312, TP316, and SA-508 Gr.1a in an operating temperature of $316^{\circ}C$. Incremental plasticity, using stress-strain data obtained from experiment, and deformation plasticity, using the Ramberg-Osgood constants, were considered in a finite element analysis. Using incremental plasticity and deformation plasticity, J-integrals and crack opening displacement values were calculated and compared. By comparing the results of incremental plasticity and deformation plasticity, a suitable method for determining Ramberg-Osgood constants for leak-before-break evaluation was confirmed.

This paper investigates the vibration characteristics of steam generator (SG) U-tubes with defect. The operating SG shell-side flow field conditions for determining the fluidelastic instability parameters such as added mass are obtained from three-dimensional SG flow calculation. Modal analyses are performed for the U-tubes either with axial or circumferential flaw with different sizes. Special emphases are on the effects of flaw orientation and size on the modal and instability characteristics of tubes, which are expressed in terms of the natural frequency, corresponding mode shape and stability ratio. Also, addressed is the effect of the internal pressure on the vibration characteristics of the tube.

Defective components of interest include not only homogeneous components, but also components with weldments where tensile properties vary across the weldment. Noting that the region near the weldment is the most vulnerable place for crack initiation and subsequent growth, defect assessment methods for homogeneous structure. Moreover, weldment width and crack location also affects the deformation and fracture behavior of the welded joints. These weld characteristics can evaluate using plastic limit load. So in this paper, evaluate plastic limit load both full circumference part-throughwall cracked pipes and circumference through-wall cracked pipes considering weld characteristics. And using evaluate results, proposed J-integral and crack opening displacement(COD) estimate method based on reference stress method.

This assessment is concerned with the fatigue strength of the tendon porch found in TLP. Lorge-scale fatigue tests with models constructed at 30% the size of the real structures have been carried out to investigate the fatigue behavior of the API 2W Grade 50 steel recently produced by POSCO. The fatigue life for the present test models was obtained based on the concept of nominal stress. A comparison of the present test results with those obtained by a numerical approach based on the structural analysis results has showngood agreement. The present results were also compared with the design curves in DnV RP-C203.

Nuclide release through penetrations in radioactive waste container is analyzed. Penetrations may result from corrosion or cracking and may be through the container material or through deposits of corrosion products. The analysis deals with the resultant nuclide release, but not with the way these penetrations occur. Numerical illustrations show that mass transport from multiple holes can be significant and may approach the mass transfer rate calculated from bare waste forms. Although partially-failed containers may present an important long-term barrier to release of radionuclides, numerous small holes on a container surface have the potential of bypassing the effectiveness of these barriers.
