3가지 종류의 알루미늄 합금강의 피로균열 진전 시 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 따른 음향방출 신호를 분류하기 위하여 주성분 분석 방법과 인공신경망 기법을 적용하였다. 재료의 균열 열림과 닫힘, 마찰 등과 같은 여러 가지 AE 신호를 얻기 위하여 피로시험을 수행하였다. 주성분 분석결과 AE 파라미터의 제 1 및 제 2 주성분만으로도 균열 열렴 및 닫힘에 대한 AE 신호의 변이를 94% 이상 설명할 수 있는 것으로 분석되어 주성분 분석 기법을 이용한 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 대한 신호해석이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. AE 신호의 주성분들을 입력변수로 사용한 인공신경망을 이용하여 균열 열림 및 닫힘을 분류할 수 있는 분류기를 개발하고 평가한 결과 분류기의 입력 변수로서 2개의 주성분을 이용 할 경우 전체 AE 파라미터를 입력변수로 사용한 경우 보다 분류 성능이 향상되었다.

피로균열 진전시 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 따른 음향방출 특성을 규명하고자 구조용 알루미늄 2024-T4 와 6061-T6 재료에 대해 소형인장 시편에서의 피로균열 진전시 발생되는 AE 특성을 관찰하였으며, 기존의 AE파라미터 분석은 물론 재료의 파단면 분석을 통해 재료특성에 따른 AE 발생거동 사이의 관계를 논의하였다. 대부분의 음향방출 신호는 균열이 열리기 시작하는 위상과 균열이 완전히 닫히는 위상에서 많이 발생되었으며 하중을 최대로 받는 균열 완전 열림에서는 전반적으로 적게 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재료에 따라서 균열 완전 열렴 부분에서 발생하는 음향방출 특성은 달라졌으나 각 피로 사이클 주파수 변화 (0.1, 0.2, 1.0Hz)에 따른 결과에서는 통일 재료일 경우 피로 사이클 주파수가 변화하더라도 각 사이클에서의 AE hit 발생 경향용 비슷하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 균열 열림 및 닫힘시 재료 의 미세조직과 기계적 특성인 연장강도와 항복강도에 따라 AE 특성이 달라질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of AE activities in the crack opening and closure during the fatigue test. The laboratory experiments for various materials and test conditions were carrie out to identify AE characteristics of fatigue crack propagation. Compact tension specimens of SWS 490B and Al 7075-T6 alloy were prepared for fatigue test. AE activities were analyzed based on the phase of the loading cycle. In case of SWS 490B, the most of AE was generated when the crack began opening and the crack closed fully, whereas a few in the full opening of the crack. On the other hand, in case of Al 7075-T6, a distinct AE activity was observed during crack opening process. AE activity in the peak loading of cycle was different with each specimen. However, in the same material, AE activity was not affected by the change of cyclic frequency (0.1, 0.2, 1.0 ㎐). It was found that AE activities during crack opening and closure depend on material properties such as micro-structure, yield strength and elongation.

Crack closure and growth behavior of physically short fatigue cracks under random loading are investigated by performing narrow- and wide-band random loading tests for various stress ratios. The importance of the crack closure phenomenon is examined by predicting the growth lives of short cracks using obtained crack opening behavior. Artificially prepared two-dimensional, short through-thickness cracks are used. The crack opening load of short cracks is much lower under random loading than under constant-amplitude loading corresponding to the largest load cycle in a random load history. This result indicates that the largest load cycle in a random load history has an effect to enhance crack opening of short cracks. Most of the life prediction ratios are within the factor of 2 scatter band except several data at very short crack sizes, indicating that crack growth predictions based on the measured crack opening data are excellent. From the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that crack closure is the primary factor governing fatigue crack growth of short cracks under random loading as well as under constant-amplitude loading.

In this study effect of residual stress and its redistribution in weldment on the fatigue crack propagation was investigated. Fatigue tests were conducted by the center notched specimens machined with welded plate. The residual stress and its redistribution after the crack growth were measured by the magnetizing stress indicator and hole-drilling method. Fatigue crack propagation was estimated by the specimens having residual stress redistributed after the cracks growth and having the effects of crack closure. Crack growth rates were predicted and compared with experimental results. It had been found that the predicted crack propagation rates have a good agreement with experimental results when the redistribution of residual stress was considered.
