This paper presents a stress-modified fracture strain for API X65 steel used for gas pipeline, as a function of stress triaxiality. To determine the stress-modified fracture strain, tension test of bars with four different notch radii, made of API X65 steel, is firstly performed, from which true fracture strains are determined as a function of notch radius. Then detailed elastic-plastic, large strain finite element (FE) analyses are performed to estimate variations of stress triaxiality in the notched bars with load. Combining experimental with FE results provides the true fracture strain as a function of stress triaxiality, which is regarded as a criterion of ductile fracture. Application of the developed stress-modified fracture strain to failure prediction of gas pipes made of API X65 steel with various types of defects is discussed.

The objective of this work is to develop a criterion for predicting the failure strength of the joints bonded by ductile adhesives. To obtain a criterion, first, fracture tests were carried out for T-peel joint and Single-lap joint with widely differing joints geometries. Then using the fracture loads obtained at tests, the finite element analysis were performed, in which the stresses in the adhesive bonds were calculated in great detail. After examining four epoxy adhesives, it is concluded that the fracture of adhesively bonded joint occurs when the maximum of the ratio of the mean to effective stresses exceeds a constant value which can be determined from analysis and test for each adhesive.

A hole expansion process is an important process in producing a hub-hole in a wheel disc of a vehicle. In this process, the main parameter is the formability of a material that is expressed as the hole expansion ratio. The hub-hole expansion process is different from conventional forming processes or hole flanging processes from the view-point of its deformation mode and forming of a thick plate. In the process, a crack is occurred in the upper edge of a hole as the hole is expanded. Since prediction of the forming limit by hole expansion experiment needs tremendous time and effort, an appropriate fracture criterion has to be developed fur finite element analysis to define forming limit of the material. In this paper, the hole expansion process of a hub-hole is studied by finite element analysis with ABAQUS/standard considering several ductile fracture criteria. The fracture mode and hole expansion ratio is compared with respect to the various fracture criteria. These criteria do not predict its fracture mode or hole expansion ratio adequately and show deviation from experimental results of hole expansion. A modified ductile fracture criterion is newly proposed to consider the deformation characteristics of a material accurately in a hole expansion process. A fracture propagation analysis at the hub-hole edge is also performed for high accuracy of prediction using the new fracture criterion proposed.

The hub hole in a wheel of vehicles usually formed with hole expansion process. Formability of material, especially the hole expansion ratio, is important to produce a fine hub hole. The hub hole expansion process is different from general forming process or bore expansion process in the viewpoint of forming a thick plate. In the hole expansion process of the plate with a hole, as the hole being expanded, the crack is occurred to outward direction at the boundary of a hole. Therefore, it is need to apply the fracture criterion in the hub hole expansion process. In this paper, the hub hole expansion process is simulated with commercial elasto-plastic finite element code, LS-DYNA3D considering some ductile fracture criteria. Fracture mode and hole expansion ratio is compared with respect to the fracture criteria. Analysis results demonstrate that only the effective plastic strain is not adequate to predict the fracture mode in the hub hole. And the analysis results also indicate that the ductile fracture criteria properly predict the fracture mode but hole expansion ratio is different with the result of each other because of their different characteristics.

호안은 유수로부터 제방과 하안을 보호하는 구조물로 태풍 또는 집중호우로 인한 홍수로부터의 안정성이 확보되어야 한다. 일반적으로 호안공법은 강성호안과 연성호안으로 구분되는데 호안재료로써의 기준과 설치 및 유지상태 기준에 따라 다르게 해석되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 최근에는 호안공법의 재료의 연결성에 따라 강성호안과 연성호안을 구분짓는다고 언급되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 석재를 사용하고 재료와 기반재의 체결을 통해 연결성을 확보하고 굴요성을 갖게 하는 연성호안공법에 대해 실규모 실험을 계획하였다. 수리 안정성 검토를 위한 실규모 실험은 안동 하천실험센터에서 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 수로는 8°의 경사를 갖는 급경사수로에서 수행하였으며, 수로의 제원은 폭 3m, 길이 30m 의 직사각형 형태의 직선수로로 이루어져 있다. 시험체는 실규모로 제작되며 실험수로 내 2m × 10m 의 제원을 갖는 공간에 제작된 호안공을 크레인을 이용하여 실험수로에 설치하였다. 수리 안정성 실험은 실험대상유량을 단계별로 나누어 점차적으로 증가시키고, 시험체의 이탈, 파괴 등의 큰 변화가 발생(미국 재료시험학회 연결형 콘크리트 블록 시험방법, ASTM D 7277)하였을 경우 실험을 종료하도록 계획하였다. 수리량 측정항목은 유속, 수위 등이 있으며, 호안공 의 물리적 변화는 3D스캐너를 이용하여 설치 전·후 변위를 검토하였다. 총 3회에 걸쳐 실험을 수행하였으며 실험조건에 따라 일부 시험체에서 돌출 또는 침하현상이 발생하기도 하였으나 호안의 손상이나 이탈, 연성기반재의 찢어짐 등 안정정을 저해하는 호안공 시험체의 변화는 발생하지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 실험결과 실험수로에서 발생가능한 최대유량인 4.6cms 조건에서 본 호안공법은 약 337.7N/m² 의 소류력을 확보하는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study investigates experimentally flexural behavior and CFB(Carbon Fiber Bar) reinforcing effects of timber sleeper in traditional storied tower house. As a test result, standard sleepers without CFB(Carbon Fiber Bar) reinforcement show flexural cracks at the bottom member at the beginning of loading stage and leads to fracture. However, reinforced specimens with CFB show initial shrinkage at the upper part of specimen by compression, instead of flexural cracks at the bottom, and finally show compressive failure or fracture after failure of CFB and it proves that reinforcing effects by CFB are exerted from early loading. Reinforced specimens showed higher strength in yield strength by 6%~38%, and ultimate strength by 8%~17%, than those of standard specimens. Reinforced specimen is considered that specimen with flexural reinforcement using CFB can expect flexural deflection control effect. Reinforced specimen shows higher ductile coefficient increase of average 141% compared than standard specimens and it proves that higher structural ductile behavior can be expected in reinforced specimens.

The objective of this study is to assess the strengthening effects of fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) sheets such as Carbon fiber, Glass fiber, and PET(polyethylene terephthalate) on reinforced concrete flexural members. Variables of theoretical analysis are types of strengthening materials, material properties and amount of strengthening materials. A virtual flexural member without FRP sheets was created as a control specimen to understand the structural behavior of the non-strengthened specimen in terms of elastic and ultimate cross section. In total, 11 specimens including one non-strengthened and ten strengthened specimens were investigated. Various variables such as types of strengthening, strengthening properties, and amount of strengthening were studied to compare the behavior of the control specimen with those of strengthened specimens with regard to moment-curvature relationship. Results of theoretical analysis showed that the moment capacity of strengthened specimens was superior to that of the control specimen. However, the control specimen indicated the best ductility among all the specimens. As the amount of strengthening increased, flexural performance was improved. Furthermore, the results indicated that the ductile effect of members was affected by the ultimate strain of FRP sheets. The strengthening effect on the damaged member was similar to that on the non-damaged one since there was less than 10% difference in terms of flexural strength and ductility. Therefore, even if a damaged member is treated as non-damaged for analysis there is probably no noticeable difference.

In orthogonal cutting a new approach for modeling of burr formation process when tool exits workpiece is proposed. The approach is based on the rigid-plastic FEM combined with the ductile fracture criterion and the element kill method. The approach is applied to simulate a plane strain cutting process. The results of the FEM are compared with those of the experiment. It is shown that the fracture location and fracture angle as well as cutting force can be predicted using the proposed approach with a good correlation to experimental results.

Conventional single-side straight cutting of sheet metal is analyzed by the rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method. The FE-simulation is performed from initial stage to final stage of shearing process. The ductile fracture criterion and element kill method are used in the present work to estimate if and where a fracture occurs and to investigate the features of sheared surface in shearing process. The FE-simulation results are obtained for different clearances and these are compared with published experimental results. It is found that the results of the present work are in close agreement with published experimental results.
