The apparent negative crack growth phenomenon which usually arises in partial unloading compliance test is well known. The reason for apparent negative crack growth is the compressive residual stress caused by the plastic zone around the crack tip. The phenomenon as a possible source of error in determining $J_{JC}$ or J-R curve from partial unloading compliance experiments may be eliminated by the correction of compliance. A compliance correction equation is derived from a stress field analysis near the crack tip.

It often occurs in J-R testing that some initial crack extension (.DELTA.a) data points have anomalous negative values. The reason for the apparent negative crack growth is due to the analysis method. The phenomenon as a possible source of error in determining $J_{IC}$ or J-R curve from partial unloading compliance experiments may be eliminated by the compliance correction equation or the offset technique. In this study, the correction methods are suggested and examined by the measurement of the actual crack length and $J_{JC}$ analysis.

Zr-2.5%Nb 합금에서 응력방향에 따른 DHC특성의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 판상의 CT시편을 이용하여 수소를 200 ppm 주입하고 응력을 압력관의 길이 방향으로 가하고 notch를 윈주방향으로 한 경우와 원주방향으로 응력을 가하고 notch를 길이 방향으로 한 경우의 균열전파속도를 측정하여 본 결과 길이 방향으로 응력을 가하였을 때 균열전파속도가 1/100 정도 감소하였으며, 균열발생을 위한 임계응력확대계수도 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 균열전파 방향도 원주방향으로 응력을 가하였을 때는 균열이 precrack을 따라 그대로 진행되었으나, 응력을 길이 방향으로 가하였을 때는 precrack을 따라 균열이 전파되지 못하고 균열분리 현상을 보였다 이것은 원래 모재가 보유하고 있는 집합조직과, 응력에의하여 수소화물이 재배열할 때 기존의 a상에서의 특정 방향 관계를 유지하여 석출함으로써 균열이 수소화물을 따라 전파됨이 원인인 것으로 생각된다. 응력을 원주방향으로 가하였을 때 균열주위에 수소화물이 길게 석출하지만, 응력을 길이 방향으로 기하였을 때는 수소화물이 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도의 작은 크기로 분리된 균열과 같은 방향으로 분포하고 있음을 관찰하였다. 이로부터 집합조직을 개량함으로써 DHC저항성에 대한 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었고 DHCV model에서 방향성을 수소화물의 재배열인자로부터 고려할 필요성이 있음을 알게 되었다.

Modal properties for tapered cantilever pipe-type beam is identified by applying the boundary conditions to a general solution for tapered beam. A bending stiffness for cracked beam is constructed based on an energy method for tapered cantilever thin-walled pipe, which has a through-the-thickness crack, subjected to bending. Then the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a tapered cantilever thin-walled cracked pipe are identified. It can be found that the phenomenon of the bending stiffness distribution along the beam length of the cracked beam is quite reasonable, the natural frequencies are decreased as the crack sizes are increased, and the mode shapes are changed due to the crack. This results may be used to the vibration-based crack identification for the tapered cantilever pipe-type tower structures.

콘크리트는 여러 구성 성분들이 불규칙적인 배열을 이루어 형성된 복합재료이지만, 과거에는 이 재료를 하나의 단종재료로 간주하여 해석하였기 때문에, LEFM에서 사용되는 파괴인성계수만으로는 콘크리트의 파괴역학적 접근이 어렵다는 것 이외에는 파괴인성계수들의 크기의존성에 대한 이유라든가, 실험을 통해서 관측된 구조물 두께 방향으로의 서로 다른 깊이의 균열 진행 현상에 대해서는 설명하기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구는 콘크리트를 하나의 복합재료로써 각각의 구성요소들이 차지하고 있는 체적비 및 배열상의 효과를 고려하여 복합재료의 파괴거동을 해석하고, 구성재료의 수와 파괴인성계수와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 각각의 구성요소들을 연립변형모드( SD mode)로 배열시킨 조건에서 복합재료역학개념에 입각하여 해석한 결과, 일반적으로 실험이나 비선형파괴역학 해석과 같이 하중-변위곡선 상단부에서 비선형 거동이 관측되었다. 또한 임계응력확대계수( $K_IC$)나 파괴에너지($G_r$)는 구성원의 수나 보의 크기에 대해서 거의 무관한 값을 나타내지만, 임계군열선단개구변위 ($CTOD_c$)는 크기에 영향을 받음을 보여 주었다. 균열의 진행속도는 균열이 진행될수록 감소하며, 파괴인성이 작은 구성원에서부터 균열이 발생되어 결과적으로 보의 두께 방향으로 서로 다른 크기의 균열길이가 생성됨이 관측되었다.

The elastic-plastic fracture toughness($J_{IC}$) and fracture resistance (J-R curve) of SA508-3 alloy steel used for nuclear reactor pressure vessel are investigated by using CT-type specimens. Fracture toughness tests are conducted by unloading compliance method and multiple specimen method at room temperature, -2$0^{\circ}C$ and 20$0^{\circ}C$. The apparent negative crack growth phenomenon which usually arises in partial unloading compliance test is well known. The negative crack growth phenomenon in determining J sub(IC) or J-R cure from partial unloading compliance experiments may be eliminated by the offset technique. In this study, the evaluation of $J_{IC}$ multiple specimen method recommended by the JSME gives the most reliable results by using half-size CT(similar-type) specimens.

Short discrete fibers compounded with concrete can enhance the tensile resistance and ductility of concrete. Recently, the effectiveness of the reinforcement has increased according to the increasing length of steel fiber. However, the lengthening of steel fiber requires reducing the ratio of the fiber content to remain the workability and quality of concrete. Thus, the present study evaluated the flexural performance of fiber reinforced concrete with less than l.0% fiber volume ratios of steel fiber, 30mm and 60mm long, and polypropylene fiber, being evaluated as a good reinforcing material with chemical stability, long-term durability, and cost effectiveness. Concrete with more than 0.25% steel and 0.5% polypropylene fibers improved the brittle failure of concrete after reaching cracking strength. Concrete reinforced with polypropylene exhibited deflection-softening behavior, but that with more than 0.5% polypropylene delayed stress reduction and recovered flexural strength by 60 to 80% after cracking strength. In conclusion, concrete reinforced with more than 0.75% polypropylene could improve structural flexural performance. In particular, energy absorption capacity of reinforced concrete with 1.0% polypropylene fiber was similar to that with 0.5% and 0.7% steel fibers.

Rock bridge in rock masses can be considered as one of several types of opening-mode fractures, and also it has been known to have a great influence on the stability of structures in rock mats. In the beginning of researching a rock bridge it used to be studied only in characteristics of its behavior, as considering resistance of material itself. However the distribution pattern of rock bridges, which can affect the stability of rock structures, is currently researched with a fracture mechanical approach in numerical studies. For investigating the effect of rock bridges on the development pattern of hydraulic fractures, the author analyzed numerically the stress state transition in rock bridges and their phenomena with a different pattern of the rock bridge distributons. From the numerical studies, a two-crack configuration could be defined to be representative of the most critical conditions for rock bridges, only when cracks are systematic and same in their length and angle. Moreover, coalescence stresses and onset of propagation stresses could be known to increase with decreasing s/L ratio or increasing d/L ratio. The effect of pre-existing crack on hydraulic fracturing was studied also in numerical models. Different to the simple hydraulic fracturing modeling in which the fractures propagated exactly parallel to the maximum remote stress, the hydraulic fractures with pre-existing cracks dial not propagate parallel to the maximum remote stress direction. These are representative of the tendency to change the hydraulic fractures direction because of the existence of pre-existing crack. Therefore s/L, d/L ratios will be identical as a function effective on hydraulic fractures propagation, that is, the $K_{I}$ vague increase with decreasing s/L ratio or increasing d/L ratio and its magnification from onset to propagation increases with decreasing s/L ratio. The scanline is a commonly used method to estimate the fracture distribution on outcrops. The data obtained from the scanline method can be applied to the evaluation of stress field in rock mass.s.

The scanline is a commonly used method to estimate the fracture distribution on outcrops. The data obtained from the scanline method can be applied to the evaluation of stress field in rock mass.

Annealing were performed to investigate the behaviors of the residual stress remaining on the member of a steel structure. According to the fatigue test, the welding part has higher fatigue crack growth rate than the base metal part because the hardening of welding part reduce fracture toughness. However, the heat treatment decrease the hardness and increase the resistance to failure. Thus, the fatigue crack growth rate is improved and it reaches the minimum at $650^{\circ}C$. Elber' s equation includes the effect of the crack-close so that this equation provides a lower the fatigue crack growth rate than Paris-Erdogan' s equation, the Elber's curves show no significant difference to indentify the effect of the residual stress. The Pop loading along the crack length increases as the hardness goes higher. The heat treatment not only decrease the hardness, and the fatigue crack growth rate, but increase the absorption energy and fracture toughness on the member of a steel structure. As the result, the heat treatment produces the resistant ability to cracking which can reduce the degree of danger to failure.
