Retardation or delay in fatigue crack growth due to overloads are important for the accurate prediction of fatigue lives of structural materials. In this study, retardation of fatigue crack growth in Al 6061-T6 weldments and heat affected zones (HAZ) after single overload cycle had been investigated. Retardation in both weldments and HAZ was observed. It was concluded that retardation in both weldment and HAZ was greater than in base metal due to microstructural change and crack branching and crack closure were major governing factor in retardation.

본 연구는 ADI의 기계적 성질을 개선하고자 오스테나이트화 과정에서 초기 변태온도를 $900^{\circ}C$ (${\gamma}$ 구역)에서 시작하여 $800^{\circ}C$까지(${\alpha}+{\gamma}$ 구역) 일정한 냉각제어에 의해 오스템퍼링을 한다. 여기서 Full ADI에서 생성되는 고탄소 오스테나이트 조직을 저탄소 오스테나이트로 유도하고 미세한 침상의 Full ADI조직을 연성이 높은 조대한 아공석 페라이트 조직이 생성되도록 하여 Semi ADI를 만든다. Full ADI와 Semi ADI의 기계적 성질 및 피로강도를 연구한 결과 Full ADI와 Semi ADI의 정적강도는 유사하지만, 피로강도는 Semi ADI의 기지조직의 변화에 기인하여 Full ADI보다 피로강도가 높게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 Semi ADI의 조대한 페라이트가 균열개구 저항력이 낮아 초기에는 쉽게 개구되지만, 균열개구와 동시에 균열선단에서 큰 소성역이 발생되어 균열성장이 지연하는 효과로 판단된다.

시멘트는 압축강도가 크고 내구성이 좋으며 가격이 저렴한 우수한 토목건축재료이다. 그러나 인장강도가 낮아서 사용 시 발생하는 휨에 의한 인장변형에 의하거나 양생 후 해 표면 크랙이 발생하는 결점이 있다. 이러한 결점을 보완하기위해 크랙의 발생 억제, 성장 지연을 목적으로 시멘트에 보강용 섬유를 투입하고 있다[1]. 시멘트에서의 보강섬유의 역할은 크랙발생에 필요한 에너지를 최대한 증가시키켜 시멘트가 경화되기 시작할 때, 구속에 의해 발생하는 인장응력 및 균열을 억제하구 내부에 형성되는 결함을 방지함에 있다[2]. (중략)

6063-T5 alloys are tested in laboratory air, water and 3% NaCl solution to investigate the effects of corrosive environment on the retardation behavior through single overload fatigue test. Also, the fatigue crack propagation and the crack closure behavior are studied. The results obtained in this experimental study are summarized as follows: 1) Behaviors of fatigue crack growth retardation are observed in water and 3% NaCl solution as they do in air. The number of delay cycles and the size of affected region by single overload decrease greatly in water and 3% NaCl compared with those in air. 2) In fractographic results, the overload marking by single overload appear remarkably in air, but indistinctly in water and 3% NaCl solution. 3) The effect of crack closure on crack propagation is most remarkable in the beginning of crack propagation. With crack propagation, the crack closure level and its effect decrease greatly.

Ships and ocean structures are subjected to random loads caused by irregular waves. The irregularity of amplitude from random loading affects on fatigue crack growth and fatigue life. However the effects of irregularity of loading on fatigue including random loading have not been explained exactly. Therefore in this paper crack growth tests on DENT specimens under constant-amplitude loading including a single tensile overload are conducted to investigate the effect of overload on crack growth rate. The size of plastic zone and crack growth rate before and after a single tensile overloading are measured using ESPI system. Crack growth retardation model that is characterized by crack growth length and the size of plastic zone was proposed and compared with test result. From the research, the validity of proposed model is examined on crack growth retardation, and consequently fatigue life.

In this study, experiments were tried on the mixed-mode I+II single overloading model which changes the loading mode of overload and fatigue load. Aspects of deformation field in front of the crack which is formed by mixed-mode I+II single overloading were experimentally studied. Then the shape and size of mixed-mode plastic zone were approximately calculated. The propagation behavior of fatigue crack was examined under the test conditions combined by changing the loading mode. The behavior of fatigue cracks were greatly affected by shapes of plastic deformation field and applying mode of fatigue load. Accuracy of prediction and evaluation for fatigue life may be improved by considering all aspects of deformation and behavior of fatigue cracks.

Fatigue crack growth retardation of 304 L stainless steel is studied using a neutron diffraction method. Three orthogonal strain components(crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction) are measured in the vicinity of the crack tip along the crack propagation direction. The residual strain profiles (1) at the mid-thickness and (2) at the 1.5 mm away from the mid-thickness of the compact tension(CT) specimen are compared. Residual lattice strains at the 1.5 mm location are slightly higher than at the mid-thickness. The CT specimen is deformed in situ under applied loads, thereby providing evolution of the internal stress fields around the crack tip. A tensile overload results in an increased magnitude of the compressive residual stress field. In the crack growth retardation, it is found that the stresses are dispersed in the crack-wake region, where the highest compressive residual stresses are measured. Our neutron diffraction mapping results reveal that the dominant mechanism is by interrupting the transfer of stress concentration at the crack tip.

We studied the time-dependent behaviors of rock and concrete materials by conducting the static and dynamic long-term strength tests. In particular, acoustic emission(AE) signals generated while the tests were analyzed and used for the long-term stability evaluation. In the static subcritical crack growth test, the long-term behavior and AE characteristics of Mode I and Mode II were investigated. In the dynamic long-term strength test, the fatigue limit and characteristics of generation of AE were analyzed through cyclic four points bending test. The graph of the cumulative AE hits versus time showed a shape similar to that of the creep curve with the first, second and third stages. The possibility for evaluating the static and dynamic long-term stability of rock and concrete is presented from the log - log relationship between the slope of the secondary stage of cumulative AE hits curve and the delayed failure time.
