원자력 발전소 주요 부품에 사용되는 Alloy 600의 PWSCC 개시와 전파기구를 살펴보고 그 억제 기술을 소개하였다. ○ 균열은 경화된 표면 산화층이 깨질 경우, 입계부식, 공식(pitting), 열처리 또는 물속에 노출되었을 때 일어나는 선택부식(selective corrosion), MnS등 게재물의 용출등에 의해 시작된다. ○ 균열의 전파는 '느린 성장'과 '빠른 성장'으로 구별해 볼 수 있는데 빠른 균열성장은 균열 선단에서의 응력확대 계수(K_I)가 균열이 전파하는 임계값(K_Iscc)을 넘는 경우에 일어난다. ○ Slip Dissolution/Film Rupture Model, Enhanced surface mobility model, Hydrogen assisted creep rupture, Internal oxidation 등의 모델이 제시되어 있으며 Internal oxidation 모델이 여러 실험자료로 잘 뒷 받침되고 있다. ○ PWSCC 억제 방안으로는 부식환경과의 격리 및 보수용접이 대표적이며 부품의 교체를 통한 안전 확보의 방안도 있다. 수소량 조절을 통한 억제 방안도 제시되어 있다. ○ Alloy 600 PWSCC열화 관리 전략프로그램은 결함 발생 가능성이 높은 부위 선정, 우선 순위에 따른 계획적인 검사, 결함이 발견될 경우 완화조치를 취하거나 필요시 교체/보수를 실시하고 그 운영프로그램을 지속적으로 갱신관리하는 방안으로 유지되어야 한다.

A generalized elastic solution for a transient mode III crack propagating along the gradient in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is obtained through an asymptotic analysis. The shear modulus and density of the FGMs are assumed to vary exponentially along the gradient. The stress and displacement fields near the crack tip are obtained in terms of powers of radial coordinates, and the coefficients depend on the time rates of the change of the crack tip speed and stress intensity factors. The influence of nonhomogeneity and transients on the higher order terms of the stress and displacement fields is discussed.

Fatigue crack propagation behavior and the fatigue life in-high performance steel were investigated by means of fatigue crack propagation tests under constant loading conditions of 'R=0.1 and f=0.1 Hz', 'R=0.3 and f=0.3 Hz', and 'R=0.5 and f=0.5 Hz' for the load ratio and frequency, respectively. A modified Forman model was developed to describe the fatigue crack propagation behavior for the conditions. The modified Forman model is applicable to all fatigue crack propagation regions I, II, and III by implementing the threshold stress intensity factor range and the effective stress intensity factor range caused by crack closure. The results show that predicted fatigue lives of Forman and modified Forman models were 8,814 and 12,292 cycles, respectively when the crack propagated approximately 5.0 mm and the load ratio and frequency were both 0.1. Comparison of the test results indicates that the modified Forman model showed much more effective fatigue crack propagation behavior in high-performance steel.

An experimental study was carried out to identify the fatigue fractue behavior of weld zone in generally rolled steel for marine structure. The bending an shear loads were applied simultaneously on the specimens to simulate real load condition for marine structure. The effect of the stress intensity factor under mode I with II loading condition on the initiation and the propagation of a crack were investigated, with particular emphaiss on mode II. When the $K_{II}$ stress intensiy factor in mode II was applied under mode I load condition, the growth behavior of a crack seems to be affected mainly by the anisotropic characteristic of materials. Especially, when the crack was located in and near the weld zone and parallel to th weld line, the propagation behaviour was turned out to be quite different from that of the base metal along the direction transverse to the weld line. In general, the propagation veiocity of the cracks in and near the weld zone was found to be slower that the velocity in base metal.

In this study, the propagation behavior of fatigue crack effected hole defects was investigated under mixed-mode I+II loading. To create mixed-mode stress field at crack tip, the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen and loading device were used in this tests. The propagation experiments of fatigue crack were performed by changing of the loading application angle(${\phi}$) and the distance(L) estimated from pre-crack tip to hole center located side by side by side with a pre-crack. As L changes, the variation for propagation aspect of fatigue crack, fatigue life and crack propagation rate were examined under mixed-mode loading. Under mixed-mode loading, the propagation rate of fatigue crack increased while the propagation direction changed dramatically because of the interference of hole defects.

It is the aim of this paper to propose the empirical fatigue crack propagation model fit to describe a crack growth behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloys. The statistical data of a crack growth for an estimation are obtained by fatigue crack propagation tests under the three cases of maximum load. The empirical models estimated are Paris-Erdogan model, Walker model, Forman model, and modified-Forman model. It is found that the empirical model fit to describe a crack growth behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloys is Paris-Erdogan model and Walker model. It is also verified that a fatigue crack growth rate exponent of a empirical model is to be a material constant.

This paper investigates the relationship between strain hardening exponents(n) of various marine materials and fatigue crack retardation effect after applying single overload. Using the four different sheet materials, following results are obtained. (1) The fatigue crack propagation rate after applying single overload was retarded and the effects of this retardation were closely related to the strain hardening exponent. (2) The larger the strain hardening exponents were, the more were the fatigue crack retardation effects after applying single overload. (3) The considerable crack closure with the applying of a overload was observed in matrals with large strain hardening exponent. When n is smaller than 0.1, the fatigue crack retardation effects are negligible. On the contrary, when n is larger than 0.2 the fatigue crack retardation effects are significant.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm based on the Moving Least Squares(MLS) difference method. The derivative approximation for the MLS difference method is derived by Taylor expansion and moving least squares procedure. The method can analyze dynamic crack problems using only node model, which is completely free from the constraint of grid or mesh structure. The dynamic equilibrium equation is integrated by the Newmark method. When a crack propagates, the MLS difference method does not need the reconstruction of mode model at every time step, instead, partial revision of nodal arrangement near the new crack tip is carried out. A crack is modeled by the visibility criterion and dynamic energy release rate is evaluated to decide the onset of crack growth together with the corresponding growth angle. Mode I and mixed mode crack propagation problems are numerically simulated and the accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithm are successfully verified through the comparison with the analytical solutions and the Element-Free Galerkin method results.
