Applications of bonded dissimilar materials such as integrated circuit(IC) packages, ceramics/metal and resin/metal bonded joints, are very increasing in various industry fields. It is very important to analyze the thermal stress and stress singularity at interface edge in bonded joints of dissimilar materials. In order to investigate the IC package crack propagating from the edge of die pad and resin, the fracture parameters of bonded dissimilar materials and material properties are obtained. In this paper, the thermal stress and its singularity index for the IC package were analyzed using 2-dimensional elastic boundary element method(BEM). From these results, crack propagation direction and path by thermal stress in the IC package were numerically simulated with boundary element method.

The experimental results of fatigue crack propagation under constant amplitude loading show that intra-and inter-specimen variability exist. In this paper, a stochastic model for the estimation of mean and variance of crack propagation life is presented To take into account the intra-specimen variability, the material resistance against crack propagation is treated as an 1-dimensional spatial stochastic process, i. e. random field, varying along the propagation path. For the inter-specimen variability, C in paris equation is assumed to be a random variable. Compared with experimental results reported, the present method well estimate the variation in fatigue crack propagation life. And it is confirmed that the thicker the specimen thickness is, the less the variation of propagation life is.

From the viewpoint of linear fracture mechanics, the crack propagation behavior of two different structures having the same K-a relationship could be considered identical. In this study the stress distribution in an infinitely wide cracked plate with the same K-a relationship as in a real structure is defined as the equivalent stress distribution. Fatigue life of a real structural element can be predicted by applying the equivalent stress distribution to a simple structural element, and performing a fatigue crack propagation analysis. The K-a relationship for a structural member can be estimated by a finite element method or a simplified prediction method. The validity to obtain effective crack driving stresses by using the equivalent stress-distribution is examined.

Fatigue cracks can be generated in aircraft as a result of the cumulative time spent during flight operations, which can extend for long periods of time and cover a variety of missions. If a crack occurs in an aircraft's main spar, it can generate many problems, including a lift time reduction. To solve this problem, it was necessary to perform an analysis of fatigue crack growth in the fatigue critical locations. Much time and expense is involved in generating the stress needed for a crack propagation analysis over a long period of time to obtain the amount of data required for an actual aircraft. In this paper, an algorithm is developed that can calculate the spectrum of stress over a long period of time for a mission by the Southwest Research Institute, which is based on the short-time load factor data produced using the peak-valley cycle counting method.

본 논문에서는 X-FEM을 사용하여 혼합모드 하중 상태에서의 이차원 선형탄성체의 균열문제에 대한 형상 설계민감도 해석을 수행하였다. X-FEM이란 균열과 같은 특수한 해를 근사하는 방법으로써, 확장함수를 도입하여 FEM의 한계를 극복하는 방법론이다. X-FEM 하에서 해를 근사하는 데 쓰이는 확장함수들은 불연속성과 특이성을 포함하고 있어 물리적 영역에 의존한다. 이는 설계민감도 해석을 수행하는 과정에서 그러한 의존성을 고려해주는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 X-FEM 기반의 형상 설계민감도 해석해를 제안하고자 한다. 식의 유도는 전 미분 공식에 기초하고 있으며, 형상함수의 설계변분에 대한 의존성에 관한 항을 추가시켰다. 또한, 균열 주위의 국부적인 공간에서의 확장된 자유도에 설계속도를 가한다. 이에 대한 몇 가지 수치 예제를 통하여 개발된 방법론의 타당성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm with Rayleigh damping effect based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) Difference Method. Dynamic equilibrium equation and constitutive equation are derived by considering Rayliegh damping and governing equations are discretized by the MLS derivative approximation; the proportional damping, which has not been properly treated in the conventional strong formulations, was implemented in both the equilibrium equation and constitutive equation. Dynamic equilibrium equation including time relevant terms is integrated by the Central Difference Method and the discrete equations are simplified by lagging the velocity one step behind. A geometrical feature of crack is modeled by imposing the traction-free condition onto the nodes placed at crack surfaces and the effect of movement and addition of the nodes at every time step due to crack growth is appropriately reflected on the construction of total system. The robustness of the proposed numerical algorithm was proved by simulating single and multiple crack growth problems and the effect of proportional damping on the dynamic crack propagation analysis was effectively demonstrated.

In this paper, we further generalize the work of Lin and Abel to the case of the first and the second order derivatives of energy release rates for two-dimensional, multiply cracked systems. The direct integral expressions are presented for the energy release rates and their first and second order derivatives. The salient feature of this numerical method is that the energy release rates and their first and second order derivatives can be computed in a single analysis. It is demonstrated through a set of examples that the proposed method gives expectedly decreasing, but acceptably accurate results for the energy release rates and their first and second order derivatives. The computed errors were approximately 0.5% for the energy release rates, $3\sim5%$ for their first order derivatives and $10\sim20%$ for their second order derivatives for the mesh densities used in the examples. Potential applications of the present method include a universal size effect model and a probabilistic fracture analysis of cracked structures.
