용접부에는 많은 취약조건들이 존재하며 파괴의 주 원인이 되고 있어 이들에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 현재 용접재료, 용접 조건 및 용접방법 등 을 개선함으로써 여러 방면에서 좋은 결과를 얻고 있다. 그러나 아직도 용접시의 열소 성변형과 구속조건에 따라 분포하는 잔류응력에 의한 피로균열거동에 대한 연구는 정확한 잔류응력 측정의 어려움으로 미흡한 상태이다. 특히 잔류응력의 측정기술과 반복하중에 의한 피로균열 진전시 잔류응력의 이완 등은 이들을 해석하는데 많은 어 려움을 주고 있다. 용접시 높은 열에 의한 재료의 팽창과 냉각시의 수축변형은 용접 부재에 인장 및 압축 잔류응력을 유발시키고, 인장잔류응력은 균열 진전될 때 잔류 응력은 오히려 균열을 지연시키기도 한다. 또한 잔류응력장에서 피로 균열이 진전될 때 잔류응력은 일반적으로 작용하중의 크기와 반복 수 그리고 균열 진전 등으로 인하 여 이완되고 재분포된다. 본 해설에서는 용접재의 피로거동중에 발생하는 잔류응력의 재분포 현상을 하중의 범위, 하중 반복수, 균열 진전의 영향으로 구분하여 각각의 영향에 대해서 기술하고자 한다.

Methods to predict fatigue crack growth are compared in a quantitative manner for crack growth test data of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy under narrow and wide band random loading. In order to account for the effect of load ratio, crack closure model, Hater's equation and NASGRO's equation have been employed. Load interaction effect under random loading has been considered by crack closure model, Willenborg's model and Wheeler's model. The prediction method using the measured crack opening results provides the best result among the prediction methods discussed for narrow and wide band random loading data.

In this study, to propose the prediction method of the crack growth under flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests are conducted on 2124-7851 aluminum alloy specimens. The prediction of crack growth under flight-simulation loading is performed by the stochastic crack growth model which was developed in previous study. First of all, to reduce the complex load history into a number of constant amplitude events, rainflow counting is applied to the flight-simulation loading wave. The crack growth, then, is predicted by the stochastic crack growth model that can describe the load interaction effect as well as the variability in crack growth process. The material constants required in this model are obtained from crack growth tests under constant amplitude loading and single tensile overload. The curves predicted by the proposed model well describe the crack growth behavior under flight-simulation loading and agree with experimental data. In addition, this model well predicts the variability of fatigue lives.

In this study, to investigate the fatigue crack retardation behavior and the variability of retardation cycles, fatigue crack growth tests were conducted on 7075-T6 aluminum alloy under single tensile overload. A retardation coefficient, D was introduced to describe fatigue crack retardation behavior and a random variable, Z to describe the variability of fatigue crack growth. The retardation coefficient was separately formulated according to retardation behavior which is composed of delayed retardation part and retardation part. The random variable, Z was evaluated from experimental data which was obtained from fatigue crack growth tests under constant amplitude load. Using these variables, a probabilistic model was developed on the basis of the modified Forman's equation, and retardation behavior and cycles were predicted under certain overload condition. The predicted retardation curve well agrees with the trend of experimental crack retardation behavior. And this model well predicts the scatter of experimental retardation cycles.

The constant amplitude loading and 100% single overloading fatigue studies of domestic high tensile 7075-T73 aluminum alloy were performed to exmine the effect of specimen thickness and its mechanisms on fatigue crack growth behavior. The stage II fatigue crack growth rates tend to increase with decreasing specimen thickness under constant amplitude loading condition and this has relation with stress intensity factors and plastic zone size. The amount of retardation by an overload increased with decreasing specimen thickness when the crack depth and baseline stress intensity factors were constant. The crack depth is one of major factors which affect retardation phenomena by an overload and the amount of retardation increase with decreasing the crack depth. Its main mechanisms are crack closure and decreasing of K at the crack tip by branching and deflection of crack. And they are affected by near surface more severely than central portion of specimen.

Sheet aluminum alloys used in manufacturing of machine structures for transportation show the difference of crack growth speed depending on thickness under the constant fatigue stress condition. The referred thickness effect is a major fatigue failure property of sheet aluminum alloys. In this work, we identified the thickness effect in fatigue test of thick plate and thin plate of Al 2024-T3 alloy under the constant fatigue stress condition, and presented the thickness effect to a correlative equation, $U_{i}^{equ}=f(R_t)$ which is determined by the shape factor, thickness ratio, $R_t$ and the loading factor, equivalent effective stress intensity ratio depending on thickness, $U_{i}^{equ}$. And we analyzed quantitatively the crack growth retardation behavior in thin plate compared to thick plate by the thickness effect using ${\Delta}K$ conversion method. We obtained such values as decrement of thickness(DoT), decrement of stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$ (DoS) and identified the relation between them to present the nature of thickness effect in this work.

It is well known that the fatigue crack growth retardation following overloads can be estimated reasonably well by the models of Wheeler and Willenborg. These models, however, can not explain the delayed-retardation revealed by every experimental result. This means that they necessarily have some qualitative defects in themselves despite of a fair approximation of quantity. In fact, they did not take into account the effects of the compressive portion of the overload cycle such as the change of reversed plastic zone size. The present study is focused on the acceleration effect in the reversed plastic zone in order to analyze qualitatively delayed-retardation phenomenon following single peak overload on the fatigue crack growth behavior using 2024-T3 aluminum alloy.
