This paper presents experimental validation of the enhanced reference stress based J estimates for circumferential through-wall cracked pipes. recently proposed by authors. Using the pipe test data for circumferential through-wall cracked pipes, the predicted fracture initiation and maximum moments according to the proposed enhanced reference stress method are compared with experimental ones as well as predictions from the R6 method. The results show that both the R6 method and the proposed method give conservative estimates of initiation and maximum moments for circumferential through-wall cracked pipes, compared to experimental data. For longer cracks, the proposed method reduces conservatism embedded in estimated J according to the R6 method, and the resulting predictions are less conservative, compared to those from the R6 method. For shorter cracks, on the other hand, the proposed method reduces possible non-conservatism embedded in estimated J according to the R6 method, and the resulting predictions are slightly more conservative.

Fatigue tests were conducted on SM45C steel using hour-glass shaped smooth tubular specimen under biaxial loading in order to investigate the crack formation and growth at room temperature. Three types of loading systems, were employed fully-reserved cyclic torsion without a superimposed static tension or compression fully-reserved cyclic torsion with a superimposed static tension and fully-reserved cyclic torsion with a superimposed static compression. The test results showed that a superimposed static tensile mean stress reduced fatigue life however a superimposed static compressive mean stress increased fatigue life. Experimental results indicated that cracks were initiated on planes of maximum shear strain whether or not the mean stresses were superimposed. A biaxial mean stress had an effect on the direction that the cracks nucleated and propagated at stage 1 (mode II).

Two parameter technique that uses far-field stress and displacement distributions was applied to composite laminates in order to calculate mode II energy release rate, $G_{II}$ . The $G_{II}$ calculated by two parameter technique was compared with that calculated from the crack closure method to inspect the effectiveness of two parameter technique. Sensitivity study of two parameter technique to the crack extension size was also performed. The results showed that both methods produced comparable $G_{II}$ results. In particular, it was found that although the crack closure method was affected by the crack extension size, the two parameter technique was less affected by the crack extension size.

Resonator의 공진주파수를 분석함으로써 탄성계수를 추하고자 하였으며 반복응력에 대한 파괴특성을 평가하기 위하여 공진 상태에서 파괴가 일어날 때까지의 사이를 수를 측정함으로써 반복음력에 대한 Si의 피로특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 (100) Si의 <110> 방향으로의 탄성 개수를 측정할 수 있었으며 Si의 미세파손의 응력에 대한 의존성을 평가할 수 있었다. 평가결과 Si의 미세파손 메커니즘은 억제된 균열의 진전에 의한 subcritical crack에 의한 피로파괴 현상보다는 과도한 스트레스에 의한 순간적인 균열전파에 의해 지배됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Recently, ceramic / metal bonded joints have led to inccreasing use of structural materials such as automobile, heat engine in various industries. In this paper, a method to analyze an interface crack under both residual stresses and applied loading was proposed. and some results of boundary element method(BEM) analysis Were presented, Fracture thoughness tests of ceramic/metals bonded joints with an interface crack Were carried out, and the stress intensity factors of these joints Ware analyzed by BEM. Also crack propagtion direction was simulated numerically by using BEM. Crack propagation angle was able to easily determine based on the maximum stress concept. The prediction of fracture strength by the fracture thoughness of the ceramics/metals bonded joints was proposed.

Underground construction such as tunneling can induce damages on the surrounding rock mass, due to the stress concentration of in situ stresses and excessive energy input during construction sequence, such as blasting. The developed damage on the rock mass can have substantial influence on the mechanical and hydraulic behaviors of the rock masses around a tunnel. In this study, investigation on the generation of damage around an opening in a jointed rock model under biaxial compression condition was conducted. The joint dip angles employed are 30, 45, and 60 degrees to the horizontal, and the synthetic rock mass was made using early strength cement and water. From the biaxial compression test, initiation and propagation of tensile cracks at norm to the joint angle were found. The propagated tensile cracks eventually developed rock blocks, which were dislodged from the rock mass. Furthermore, the propagation process of the tensile cracks varies with joint angle: lower joint angle model shows more stable and progressive tensile crack propagation. The development of the tensile crack can be explained under the hypothesis that the rock segment encompassed by the joint set is subjected to the developing moment, which can be induced by the geometric irregularity around the opening in the rock model. The experiment results were simulated by using discrete element method PFC 2D. From the simulation, as has been observed from the test, a rock mass with lower joint angle produces wider damage region and rock block by tensile cracks. In addition, a rock model with lower joint angle shows progressive tensile cracks generation around the opening from the investigation of the interacted tensile cracks.

LB-DECK, a precast concrete panel type, is a permanent concrete deck form used as a formwork for cast-in-place concrete pouring at bridge construction site. LB-DECK consists of 60 mm thick concrete slab and 125 mm height Lattice-girders partly embedded in the concrete slab. These decks have been applied to the bridges, which girder spacings are short enough to resist longitudinal cracking caused by construction loads. This paper presents experimental research work conducted to evaluate the cracking load of LB-DECKs designed for long span bridge decks. Twenty four non-composite beams and four composite beams are fabricated considering three design variables of thickness of concrete slab, height of lattice-girder, and diameter of top-bar. Static loads controlled by displacements are applied to test beams to obtain cracking and ultimate loads. Vertical displacements at the center of beams, strains of top-bar, crack propagation in concrete slab, and final failure modes are carefully monitored. The obtained cracking loads are compared to the analytical results obtained by elastic analyses. Long-term analyses using age-adjusted effective modulus method (AEMM) are also conducted to investigate the effects of concrete shrinkage on the cracking loads. Based on the test results, the tensile strength and the design details of LB-DECKs are discussed to prevent longitudinal cracking of long span bridge decks.

본 연구에서는 수소화물의 파괴가 일어나는 조건과 수소화물의 파괴가 압력관 재료의 파괴인성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 사용된 재료들은 상용 캐나다 압력관 재료와 러시아에서 개발된 E635, El25라는 재료로서 균열진전방향이 압력관의 축방향을 향하도록 CT 시편을 제작하여 파괴시험을 하였다 상온에서 파괴인성은 캐나다 압력관재료, El25, E635의 순서로 크게 나왔다. 100ppm의 수소를 장입한 경우 상온에서의 파괴인성은 크게 감소하여 세 재료들 모두 비슷한 평평한 J-R 커브를 보였으며, 캐나다 재료와 E63S의 파면에서 관찰되는 fissure의 간격은 150～200$\mu\textrm{m}$로 수소화물의 간격과 비슷하였으며 tunnelling 현상이 일어났다. El2S는 불규칙한 짧은 fissure들이 관찰되었다. 20$0^{\circ}C$에서는 수소화물의 파괴에 의한 fissure들이 관찰되지 않았으며 수소화물이 파괴인성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. El25는 상온과 20$0^{\circ}C$에서의 J-R커브가 비슷하게 나타났다.

The concrete bridge decks on the main girder will usually develop initial cracks in the longitudinal or the transverse direction due to dry shrinkage and temperature change, and as the bridge decks age the crack will gradually develop in different directions due to repeated cyclic loads. The strengthening direction of the concrete bridge deck is a very important factor in improving proper structural behavior. Therefore, in this study, theoretical analyses of strengthened bridge decks were performed using the nonlinear finite element method. To improve the accuracy of the analytical result, boundary conditions and material property of strengthening material was simulated by laboratory condition and test results, respectively. The effect of the strengthening direction and the amount of strengthening material were estimated and compared to the experimental results. The efficiency of the strengthened bridge decks by strengthening variables such as the amount, width and thickness of CFS was observed.
