The crack growth under creep condition is one of the major damage mechanisms which determines remaining life of the component operating at high temperatures. In this paper, the creep crack growth by grain boundary cavitation is studied, which is frequently observed failure mechanism for creep brittle materials. As a result of diffusive growth of creep cavities, it is shown that the crack-tip stress field is modified from the original stress distribution by the amount of singularity attenuation parameter which is function of crack growth rate and material properties. Also, the stress relaxation at crack-tip results in the extension of cavitating area by the load dump effect to meet the macroscopic force equilibrium conditdion.

Non-linear behavior of rock under compression can be predicted by a crack model. Crack growth in rock renders rock anisotropic. The degree of anisotropy is explained in terms of elastic moduli as a function of load level. In this study, we calculate the changes of elastic moduli due to crack growth numerically by using a crack model and compare these values with experimental results obtained from the measurement of ultrasonic wave velocities. Image processing technique is used to obtain the initial crack information needed for the numerical calculation of elastic moduli.

오스테나이트 스테인리스강은 우수한 내식성 및 기계적 특성으로 인해 구조용 재료로 널리 사용되고 있다. 표준원전 경수로의 경우 가압기 밀림관소재로 Nb 안정화 오스테나이트 스테인리스강인 type 347 스테인리스강이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 원전배관에서는 운전중 배관내 온도편차에 의한 열응역과 하중변화에 의한 기계적하중에 의해 피로손상을 받는다. 일반적으로 범용 오스테나이트 스테인리스강(AISI 304, 316)의 피로균열 성장거동에 대한 연구결과는 국내외적으로 다수 축적되어 있으나 type 347 탄소, 질소 함량에 따른 기계적 특성 및 피로균열성장 연구는 매우 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄소와 질소의 함량에 따른 기계적거동을 평가하고, 이에 따른 피로균열전파속도를 관찰하여 스테인리스강의 정확한 피로균열전파속도 곡선을 제시하고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 시편은 두께 5mm, 폭 25.4mm CT시편을 사용하였으며, 1mm의 예비균열을 주었다. 그리고 실험온도는 상온과 원전가동온도인 $316^{\circ}C$에서 실시하였으며, 주파수는 10Hz를 주었다. 실험결과 각 함량에 따른 type 347의 미세조직 관찰결과 기지내에 압연방향을 따라 조대한 석출물의 흐름이 관찰되었으며, 크기나 분포가 큰 차이를 보였다. C+N 함량이 낮은 시편은 주로 $0.1\;{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세한 입자들이 오스테나이트 기지조직의 입내와 입계에 고르게 분포되어 있었다. 그러나 C+N 함량이 높은 시편의 경우에는 $0.1\;{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세한 입자들과 함께 국부적으로 $1\sim10\;{\mu}m$의 조대한 입자들이 분포하고 있는 것이 관찰되었다. 그리고 질소의 함량이 높아짐에 따라 인장강도는 증가하였으며, 피로시험결과 고온에서 실험한 피로균열성장률 곡선이 상온보다 높게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 질소가 적게 첨가되고 탄소의 함량이 많을수록 피로균열성장률은 ASME 곡선보다 낮게 나타났다.

동적탄소성 균열전파 문제는 매우 복잡한 문제이며 따라서 아직까지 이론적으로 명쾌한 해가 발표되지 못하고 있는 형편이다. 따라서 실험적인 연구는 아주 미비하며 다만 몇편의 논문만 발표되고 있는 편이다. 여기서는 Lee(47)의 실험적인 연구내용 및 연구결과를 간단히 강의하기로 한다.

The specimen materials used in this research are isotropic epoxy resins. The static photoelastic experiment was applied to them. And then the specimens used in photoelastic experiment were fractured under static load. The static photoelastic experimental hybrid method was introduced and its validity had been assured. Crack propagation criterion used the stress components, which are considered the higher order terms, obtained from the static photoelastic experimental hybrid method was introduced and it was applied to the minimum strain energy density criterion, the maximum tangential stress criterion and mode mixity. Comparing the actual initial angle of crack propagation with the theoretical initial angle of crack propagation obtained from the above failure criterions, the validities of the above two criterions are assured and the optimal distance (r) from the crack-tip is 0.01mm in order to get the initial angle of crack propagation of isotropic epoxy resin.

In characteristics of fatigue crack propagation, it is important that fatigue life is affected by crack closure phenomenon in thin sheet Al alloy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation in constant loading condition for sheet Al 2024-T3 alloy of two sort of thickness and identify the difference of fatigue life in thin sheet specimen comparing experimental results of thin sheet specimen and relatively thick sheet specimen under same fatigue loading condition. In applying fatigue related material constants from fatigue crack propagation analysis, we attempt to operate the fatigue life estimating process of thin sheet specimen by modified Paris‘ law considering crack closure phenomenon and analyze the experimental and prediction results of fatigue life in thin sheet Al alloy.
