The apparent negative crack growth phenomenon which usually arises in partial unloading compliance test is well known. The reason for apparent negative crack growth is the compressive residual stress caused by the plastic zone around the crack tip. The phenomenon as a possible source of error in determining $J_{JC}$ or J-R curve from partial unloading compliance experiments may be eliminated by the correction of compliance. A compliance correction equation is derived from a stress field analysis near the crack tip.

This study deals with the mechanical properties of STS304-Al351 friction welding zone. Main results are as follows ; under the condition of upset pressure 75MPa, the tensile strength of STS304-al6351 friction weld interface was higher than that of Al6351 base metal, and the highest tensile strength(290MPa) was obtained at upset pressure 125MPa. The hardness profile across the weld interface shows that the hardness of both STS304 and Al6351 is higher around the weld interface, and sharply increased hardness on the STS304 side is related with the plastic deformation of micro volume. As the result of analyzing the tensile fracture, it showed perfect soft fracture.

The growth behavior of the transverse crack, which was one of the most dangerous damages of rail defects, was investigated under mode I and mixed mode loading in rail steel. In the case of variable amplitude loading, the fatigue crack growth behavior was discussed using characteristic stress intensity factor ranges ${\Delta}_{rms}$. In addition, characteristic comparative stress intensity factor ranges ${\Delta}_{V,rms}$ was proposed to evaluate the quantitative effects of the variable amplitude under mixed mode loading. As a result, crack growth rate under variable amplitude loading was faster than that under constant amplitude loading.

A finite element procedure to estimate ultimate strength of space frames considering spread of plasticity is presented. The improved displacement field is introduced based on inclusion of second order terms of finite rotations. All the nonlinear terms due to bending and torsional moment as well as axial force are precisely considered. The concept of plastic hinge is introduced and the incremental load/displacement method is applied for the elasto-plastic analysis. The initial yield surface is defined based on the residual stress and the full plastification surface is considered under the combined action of axial force, bending and torsional moments. The elasto-plastic stiffness matrices are derived using the flow rule and the normality condition of the limit function. Finite element solutions for ultimate strength of space frames are compared with available solutions and experimental results.

This study deals with elasto-plasticity of granular micro-structures which recovers continuum elasto-plasticity in its counterpart. The theory is based on doublet mechanics that assumes particles of finite size and connecting linear springs, and it makes extensions to plasticity. The result shows that the micro model has one to one relationship with the continuum model in the simplest case. Micro-strain and micro-stress of two dimensional plane stress problem were calculated, which shows the behavior of the specimen and verifies the effectiveness of this model.

고온성질 및 내마모 성질이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있는 요업재료가 아직 그 사용 영역이 크게 확장되지 못하고 있는 이유는 마모문제 때문이다. 종래 엔진재료로써 사용될 수 있을 것으로 크게 기대되어 왔던 사실과는 달리 아직도 성공하지 못하고 있는 것이 좋은 예이다. 이와 같이 요업재료에서의 마모가 중요한 문제로 대두함에 따라 최근 마모를 이해하기 위한 연구들이 실험적으로 또 이론적으로 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 마모는 접촉표면 및 부표면(subsurface)에서의 탄성 및 소성변형 또 화학적 반응등이 통상 복합적으로 작용하여 나타나는 매우 복잡한 것이기 때문에 아직도 그 기구는 분명하지 않다. 따라서, 요업재료에서 마모가 어떻게 일어나는 지를 밝히는 것은 아직도 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 요업재료에서 미끄럼시의 마모기구를 실험적으로 밝히는 것이다. 비교적 제 성질이 잘알려져 있는 $Al_2O_3$를 모델계로 택하여 마모시험을 행하였으며, 미끄럼 시간에 따른 마모양상의 변화 및 접촉표면과 부표면에서의 미세구조 변화를 관찰하여 마모기구를 규명하였다.

For the case that center crack is surrounded by four small cracks which are symmetrically distributed around center crack, the same values of normalized stress intensity factor of center crack according to the position of the tip of small cracks are located on the smooth curve. And the stress intensity factor according to any position of small cracks can be sufficiently obtained from this curve. The plastic zones between distributed cracks are also investigated by changing the positions of nearly small cracks. The occurrence of plastic zone due to the interaction between center crack and small cracks are analyzed by finite element method. The mechanical behavior at the vicinity of crack tips is investigated by plastic areas. The changes of plastic zones according to positions of distributed cracks are drawn schematically. The safety of materials is also analyzed.

The problems of welding distortion in a welded structures are major concern in heavy industry. Weld-induced angular distortion's formula, composed weld parameter such as heat input and plate thickness, is developed analytically by the use of an elliptic cylindrical inclusion with an eigenstrain in an infinite laminated plate theory. The source of angular distortion in weldments is the plastic strains, which are caused by non-uniform temperature gradient. The distributions of the plastic strain corresponding eigenstrain are assumed by the use of Rosenthal's solution expressing thermal history. Comparison of calculated results with experimental data shows the accuracy and validity of the proposed method.

Ships and ocean structures are subjected to random loads caused by irregular waves. The irregularity of amplitude from random loading affects on fatigue crack growth and fatigue life. However the effects of irregularity of loading on fatigue including random loading have not been explained exactly. Therefore in this paper crack growth tests on DENT specimens under constant-amplitude loading including a single tensile overload are conducted to investigate the effect of overload on crack growth rate. The size of plastic zone and crack growth rate before and after a single tensile overloading are measured using ESPI system. Crack growth retardation model that is characterized by crack growth length and the size of plastic zone was proposed and compared with test result. From the research, the validity of proposed model is examined on crack growth retardation, and consequently fatigue life.
