In this paper the effect of stress ratio on the fatigue crack growth rate of aluminum alloy A5083-O was examined. The fatigue tests were carried out using CCT (center cracked tension) specimens and CT(compact tension) specimens which were subjected to 0.5 and -1.0 stress ratio respectively. The obtained results are as follows; 1) The $\DeltaK_{th}$ as the function of stress ratio R was introduced in evaluating the fatigue crack growth rate of A5083-O. 2) A new model evaluating the effect of stress ratio on the fatigue crack growth rate was developed over the region of low and high propagation rate.

최근 환경오염 문제와 관련하여 청정연료로 수요가 증가하고 있는 액화천연가스(LNG)의 저장탱크 및 운반선 등 연료 저장 설비, 초전도이용 관련 기기와 같은 저온용 설비 및 기기가 증가하고 있고 대형화의 추세를 보이고 있다. 특히 액화천연가스(LNG)의 수요급증에 따라 이의 운송 및 저장에 필요한 재료의 수요가 증가하면서 극저온재료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. LNG저장조의 대형화에 따라, 설계강도상의 검토는 물론, 사용재료의 특성, 가공성 및 용접 둥의 시공법을 비롯하여 품질관리 면까지 충분한 검토가 필요하다. 특히 LNG를 저장하는 내조재료에 대하여는 모재 및 용접부의 제반 특성을 파악하여 저온에서 취성파괴에 대한 안전성을 확인해 둘 필요가 있다. 본 연구는, LNG 저장 탱크의 안전성 평가시 필요한 재료물성 데이터 중 파괴인성의 측정 기반 기술을 확보하고, 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 LNG 저장탱크용 재질(SUS304L강, Al합금 및 $9\%$ Ni강)에 대하여 77 K 및 173 K에서 계장화 샬피충격시험을 실시하여 온도에 따른 충격파괴특성 및 파면해석을 실시하여, 안전성 평가에 필요한 기초 자료를 확보하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 계장화샬피충격파괴시험결과, $9\%$니켈강의 경우 온도저하에 따라 77K까지는 인성의 저하정도가 적어 우수한 파괴저항을 나타내었다. 계장화 장치에 의해 얻어진 하중-처짐 곡선으로부터, 온도가 173 K에서 77 K로 저하함에 따라 최대하중은 증가하였으나 에너지는 오히려 감소하였다. 또한 균열개시에 쓰여진 에너지보다 균열진전에 쓰여진 에너지가 높게 나타났다. A5083의 경우 합금강재에 비해 충격흡수에너지값이 낮고 저온 특유의 갈라짐 현상을 볼 수 있었다. SUS304L재의 경우 균열개시에 쓰여지는 에너지가 높게 나타났고, 균열진전에 따른 에너지는 거의 나타나지 않아 균열개시 후 비교적 평탄한 파단면을 나타내는 파면관찰 결과와 일치하는 거동을 나타내었다.

The leak before break(LBB) concept is generalized on the design of LNG tanks, pressure vessels and nuclear reactor in that any leakage of containment, in whatever amount, will not result in catastropic failure. For this purpose it is necessary to determine the surface crack shape, the opening displacement and the risk of catastropic brittle fracture when it becomes a through crack. In this study the crack propagation behavior of surface flaws and the crack opening displacement of through cracks under combined membrane and bending stresses were investigated with fatigue tests and fracture toughness test of aluminium alloy A5083-O. And fracture mechanics analysis of the crack opening displacement of through cracks were made in order to develop a new model expressing the behaviors of COD under combined membrane and bending stresses.

시추공을 이용한 초기응력 측정을 위한 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 이 새로운 개념의 측정법은 기본적으로 응력 해방과 파쇄 기술을 결합한 방법이다. 액화질소와 같은 극저온 액체를 이용하여 시추공 주변의 인장 열응력을 유도하여 시추공 주변의 응력을 해방시킬 수 있다. 종국에는 시추공 주변의 인장 강도가 암반의 인장 강도에 초기 지압으로 존재하는 압축 응력의 합을 초과할 때 시추공벽에 균열을 발생시킨다. 이와 같은 개념을 인장 응력으로부터 초기 응력 수준을 평가하는데 적용하기 위한 이론적 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 제안한 방법의 유효성을 검토하기 위해 FLAC3D를 이용한 열-역학 상호작용 연속체 해석을 수행하였다. 사전 이론적 검토 및 수치해석으로부터 저온 열균열 발생 현상을 이용한 초기 응력 측정법이 시추공벽에서의 인장 균열 형성을 감시하고 시추공벽에서의 균열 개시 시점의 온도를 기록함으로써 초기 응력을 정밀하게 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The leakage of cryogenic LNG through cracks in the insulation membrane of an LNG carrier causes the hull structure to experience a cold spot as a result of the heat transfer from the LNG. The hull structure will become brittle at this cold spot and the evaporated natural gas may potentially lead to a hazard because of its flammability. This paper presents a computational model for the LNG flow and heat diffusion in an LNG insulation panel subject to leakage. The temperature distribution in the insulation panel and the speed of gas diffusion through it are simulated to assess the safety level of an LNG carrier subject that experiences a leak. The behavior of the leaked LNG is modeled using a multiphase flow that considers the mixture of liquid and gas. The simulation model considers the phase change of the LNG, gas-liquid multiphase interactions in the porous media, and accompanying rates of heat transfer. It is assumed that the NO96-GW membrane storage is composed of glass wool and plywood for the numerical simulation. In the numerical simulation, the seepage, heat diffusion, and evaporation of the LNG are investigated. It is found that the diffusion speed of the leakage is very high to accelerate the evaporation of the LNG.

The estimation of fatigue life at the design stage is very important in order to arrive at feasible and cost effective solutions considering the total lifetime of the structure and machinery compo-nents. In this study the practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors based on Miner-Palmgren hypothesis and probability density function is shown with a $135,000m^3$ LNG tank being used as an example. In particular the parameters of Weibull distribution taht determine the stress spectrum are dis-cussed. At the end some of uncertainties associated with fatigue life prediction are discussed. The main results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. The practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors expressed in combination of probability density function and S-N data is proposed. 2. The calculated fatigue life is influenced by the shape parameter and stress block. The conser-vative fatigue design can be achieved when using higher value of shape parameter and the stress blocks divded into more stress blocks.

금속의 취성화는 수소와 접촉하는 구조물을 안정적으로 설계하는데 있어서 큰 문제가 되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 분자동역학 해석을 통해 균열선단 주변에 모인 수소원자들이 전위 이동 현상을 억제하고, 이로 인해 벽개 파괴 현상이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 다양한 수소 농도, 하중 속도, 수소 확산 속도 등을 바꾸어가며 분자동역학 해석을 수행하였고, 이에 따른 수소 취성화를 최소화시킬 수 있는 조건들을 조사하였다. 분자동역학 해석 결과는 기존의 실험결과와 잘 일치하였으며 이를 바탕으로 수소 취성화 현상을 정량화하여 평가하였다.

The transition of serrated grain boundary and its effect on liquation behavior in the simulated weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) have been investigated in a wrought Ni-based superalloy Alloy 263. Recently, the present authors have found that grain boundary serration occurs in the absence of adjacent coarse ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particles or $M_{23}C_6$ carbides when a specimen is direct-aged with a combination of slow cooling from solution treatment temperature to aging temperature. The present study was initiated to determine the interdependence of the serration and HAZ property with a consideration of this serration as a potential for the use of a hot-cracking resistant microstructure. A crystallographic study indicated that the serration led to a change in grain boundary character as special boundary with a lower interfacial energy as those terminated by low-index {111} boundary planes. It was found that the serrated grain boundaries are highly resistant to boron enrichment, and suppress effectively grain coarsening in HAZ. Furthermore, the serrated grain boundaries showed a higher resistance to susceptibility of liquation cracking. These results was discussed in terms of a significant decrease in interfacial energy of grain boundary by the serration.

The demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers and LNG-fueled ships has significantly increased in recent years due to the sulfur-oxide emission regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The main goal of this paper is to introduce the process for the Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) of IMO independent type-B cargo tanks made from 9% nickel alloy. A methodology proposed by the British Standard was used to conduct ECA for any structure with initial flaws. Based on this standard, a Matlab code was developed to perform ECA. Coarse mesh Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on an independent type-B LNG cargo tank with a capacity of 15,000 m³. The location with the highest development of maximum principal stress was identified at the bottom of the cargo tank. Fine mesh FEA was performed to obtain the stress range required for ECA. The dynamic cargo tank loads used for FEA were determined using some ship rules presented by Det Norske Veritas. As a result of performing a 20-year long-term crack propagation analysis with a semi-elliptical surface crack, the fracture-to-yield ratio exceeded the Fracture Assessment Line (FAL) and some structural reinforcement was necessary. Performing a 15-day short-term crack propagation analysis, the fracture-to-yield ratio remained within the FAL, and no significant LNG leaks were expected. This paper is believed to provide a guide for performing ECA of LNG cargo tanks in the future by providing the basic theory and application sample necessary to perform ECA.
