The distribution of fatigue crack growth rate is influenced by the measuring interval and methods of calculation of crack growth rate. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a method for the evaluation of crack growth rate distribution without the influence. The constant ${\Delta}P$ test and the constant .DELTA.K test are executed by using the CT specimen. The measuring interval of (${\Delta}a$/W=0.0067~0.014) crack length is not affected by methods of the calculation of the fatigue crack growth rate is suggested.

In this study, the stress intensity factor of center crack tip is calculated by the superposition method when it is surrounded by symmetrically distributed small cracks. The values of stress intensity factors of center crack tips are compared with those of the center crack tips calculated by the superposition method. These compared errors are influenced by the locations of distributed small cracks. These errors are inspected. When small cracks overlap and approach near the center crack tip, the effect of interaction caused by these cracks becomes noticeable and these errors become larger. In case of multiple distributed small cracks except this case, the stress intensity factor of the center crack tip is easily calculated by the superposition method.

The sensitivity study to evaluate the effects of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the constant loadings is executed in the previous study of the authors. It is shown that the effect of the crack opening ratio is large comparatively. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the random loadings. A new method of evaluation of the effective stress under the random loadings is developed. The sensitivity study of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the random loadings is executed by using it.

From among the NDT (nondestructive testing) methods, the MFL (magnetic flux leakage) method is specially suitable for testing pipelines because pipeline has high magnetic permeability. The system applied to MFL method is called the MFL PIG. The previous MFL PIG showed high performance in detecting the metal loss and corrosions. However, MFL PIG is highly unlikely to detect the cracks which occur by exterior-interior pressure difference in pipelines and the shape of crack is long and very narrow. In MFL PIG, the magnetic field is performed axially and there is no changes of cross-sectional area at cracks that the magnetic field passes through. Cracks occur frequently in the pipelines and the risk of the accident from the cracks is higher than that from the metal loss and corrosions. Therefore, the new PIG is needed to be researched and developed for detecting the cracks. The circumferential MFL (CMFL) PIG performs magnetic fields circumferentially and can maximize the magnetic flux leakage at the cracks. In this paper, CMFL PIG is designed and the distribution of the magnetic fields is analyzed by using 3 dimensional nonlinear finite element method (FEM). In CMFL PIG, cracks, standards of NACE, are detectable. To estimate the shape of crack, the leakage of magnetic fields for many kinds of cracks is analyzed and the method is developed by signal processing.

In order to analysis of the stress distribution around flaws and the interaction effects between fatigue cracks, stress around micro hole was analyzed by Finite Element Method(F.E.M.) and micro hole specimens were tested using rotary bending fatigue machine and twisting fatigue machine to identify stress effects for fatigue cracks initiating from micro holes and interaction effects between micro holes. The results are as follows : Interaction effects of .sigma. $_{y}$for the micro hole side is larger than the large micro hole side when the interval between micro holes is near. Stress concentration factor increase as the diameter of micro hole becomes smaller. But, stress field of micro hole is smaller than that of large micro hole at h .leq. r (h:depth of micro hole, r:radius of micro hole) and that of large hole is larger than that of small micro hole at h >r expect the small range from micro hole.e.

Microcapsules of two different self-healing agents, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) and ENB with a crosslinker, surrounded by a melamine-urea-formaldehyde shell were manufactured. In this work, a red dye was incorporated into the self-healing agents as a tracer for better visual observations. It revealed that the incorporation of a red dye into self-healing agents did not disturb the formation of microcapsules from the examination of thermal resistance, particle size/size distribution and morphology of the resulting microcapsules. Releasing of self-healing liquid into the induced crack from ruptured microcapsules and filling between crack planes were observed using an optical microscope. Also observed was the reaction of filled healing agent with embedded Grubbs' catalyst in an epoxy coating layer.

A new method is suggested for the solution of plane elasticity problems. With use of the dislocation model in the crack problems, the basic scheme of this method is to find equilibrium Burgers vectors of dislocations which are distributed along the boundary of the first fundamental boundary value problems. The stress distribution in the region can be found by superposition of the contributions of each dislocation. The method is applied to three cases with known analytical solutions, and to a V-notched specimen under uniaxial tension. The numerical results are compared with other available solutions. This method is effective and simple in its use, compared with other numerical methods. The method also provides very accurate solutions in the region except near the boundary where the discretization error is significant. The extrapolation method is suggested for the stresses in the boundary region. Extensive application are also suggested for a general estimate of the computational efficiency of the method.

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.

확산모델과 파모델의 결과에 있어 큰 차이가 일어나는 경우를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 과도기 간이 짧다. 2) 작동온도가 아주 낮다. 3) 온도구배가 상당히 크다. 이때3)의 경우는 서로 다른 물질들이 접촉된 경우 또는 높은 열유속이 있는 경우 또는 얇은 표면층 등을 갖는 문제들의 공 통적인 특징이다. Non-Fourier 열전도 문제를 이용해 온도 분포를 예측해야 하는 실제적인 몇 가지 예를 살펴 보면 레이저 기술 또는 절대온도 영(zero)에 접근하는 온도에서의 액체 헬륨을 다루는 저온공학연구 또는 1/$10^{6}$Inch 정도의 표면조도가 관심사인 정밀공학 등을 들 수 있다. 또한 상당히 높은 강도의 열원이 작용될 때 고체에서의 크랙이나 보이드(void) 같은 국소 결함은 확산거동이 나타나기에 요구되는 시간보다 짧은 시간 구간에서 발생되어질 수 있으며, 크랙발생의 방향과 같은 것들은 hyperbolic 모델에의해 예측되어져야만 한다. 특히 움직이는 열원 또는 propagating crack tip을 갖는 경우에 그들 주위에서의 온도장을 규정짓는 가장 중요한 변 수는 열마하수 M이며, 아음속에서 초음속 영역으로 천이될 때 물리적 양들의 변화에 있어서 일어나는 현상들은 열충격의 형성에 기인하는데 이러한 현상들은 확산 모델로서는 예측될 수 없는 특징들이다. 이상에서 살펴볼 때 non-Fourier 모델에 대해 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

본 논문은 절연재료의 보이드(void)나 크랙(crack)과 같은 결함이 부분방전을 일으킴으로서 절연재료가 열화되어 최종적으로 파괴에 이른다. 특히 부분방전 중에서 트리잉 열화는 절연재료에 매우 치명적이다. 또한 고전압,고전계 기술분야에서 절연파괴전압이나 일정전압 인가시 수명 시간 데이터는 중요하다. 파괴 통계에 주로 많이 사용하는 와이블 확률 분포를 이용하여 트리잉 파괴에 대한 수명을 평가를 시도하였다. 시료의 형태는 침대 평판전극이고 시료는 저밀도 폴리에틸렌이다 인가 전압은 상용 교류 전압 8,10,12[kV]를 인가하였다. 척도 파라메타는 전압이 증가함에 따라 128.7$\longrightarrow$96.4$\longrightarrow$85.4로 감소하고 형상 파라메타는 전압이 증가함에 따라 2.39$\longrightarrow$2.19$\longrightarrow$2.02로 감소한다. 따라서 시료의 추정 수명은 110분, 81.57분, 49.27분으로 전압이 증가함에 따라 수명이 급격히 단축됨을 알 수 있다.
