This paper deals with the three-dimensional finite element analysis of failure behavior of UHPFRC I-beam under monotonic load. Different from the constitutive law of normal and high strength concrete, an elastic-plastic fracture model that considers the tensile strain hardening is proposed to describe the material properties of UHPFRC. A multi-directional fixed crack criterion with tensile strain hardening is defined in the tensile region, and Drucker-Prager criterion with an associated flow rule is adopted in the compressive region. The influence of span, prestressing force and section on the behavior of UHPFRC I-beam are investigated. The comparison of the numerical results with the test results indicates a good agreement.

This paper is concerned with the numerical evaluation of the failure behavior of reinforced soil walls based on the elasto-plastic theory. At first, the basic analysis on the failure behavior of reinforced soil walls are discussed. Parametric study of the major factors influencing the failure behavior is conducted by FEM. The objectives are to identify and evaluate the major facts influencing the failure mode of reinforced soil walls. The results of the parametric study on the failure behavior due to soil friction angle, reinforcement type, and reinforecement length are analysed.

국산 원자로 압력용기강(ASME SA508 cl.3)을 대상으로 표준 샤피충격시험편(2 mm V- notch)과 피로균열(precracked Charpy) 시험편을 제작하여 계장화(instrumented)충격시험을 실시하고, 충격시험시 하중점(load point)의 변위(displacement) 혹은 시간의 변화를 하중의 변화와 함께 측정하였다. 측정결과를 파괴현상 및 파괴역학과 연계시켜 해석하므로서, 가능한한 소량의 시험편(혹은 시험공정)을 사용하여 필요로 하는 인성평가 관련 정보를 획득할 수 있도록 시도하였다. 그 결과, 파괴과정을 나타내는 하중의 변화를 이용하여 Shear fraction 을 예측할 수 있었고, 하중의 변화와 관계된 변위로부터 Lateral expansion을 추정할 수 있었다. 피로균열 시험편 시험결과로 부터는 충격시의 항복하중, 항복변위, 최고하중 등을 획득하여 균열크기의 함수로 표시되는 시험편 Compliance 를 계산하였고, Equivalent energy 법과 J-integral 법을 적용하여 원자로 압력용기강의 탄소성 동적파괴인 성을 평가할 수 있었다.

The estimation of fracture toughness in inhomogeneous material is still insufficient because it is difficult to get information of fracture initiation at the crack tip. Therefore, martensite-ferrite dual phase steel was prepared for a model material and micro-fracture behavior was investigated in the region of pre-fatigue crack in order to understand the characteristic of fracture resistance in inhomogeneous materials. In the case of severely inhomogeneous state, micro-fracture appearance is not distributed homogenously so that the estimation of fracture toughness is hardly possible. On the other hand when the grain size is refined or the strength of martensite is lowered, micro-fracture appearance is distributed homogenously and fracture toughness remarkably increases.

For the deep underground excavation site with the geological complexity of soft seam and hard rock, the numerical analysis and in-situ measurement on the behaviors of roadway and surrounding rock according to stepwise excavation of the steep soft seam are carried out. The strata behavior is modeled using elasto-plastic FEM considering the empirical failure criteria of Hoek ＆ Brown and the strain-softening model. Hydraulic pressure capsule, MPBX and tape extensometer are installed around the roadway for the in-situ measurement of rock stress and deformation. Despite the complexity of geology and excavation procedure, the elasto-plastic analysis considering the empirical failure criteria of Hoek ＆ Brown and the strain-softening model shows good agreement with the in-situ measurement. Comparison of numerical modeling with in-situ measurement enables to predict the behaviors of the roadway and to obtain design parameters for the excavation and support at depth.

Composite materials have been used in aerospace industry and many applications because of many advantages such as specific strength and stiffness and corrosion resistance etc. However, it is vulnerable to impacts, these impact lead to formation of cracks in composite laminate and failure of structures. In this paper, we analyzed Mode I fracture toughness of Carbon/Epoxy laminates using acoustic emission signal. DCB test was carried out to analyze Mode I failure characterization of Carbon/Epoxy laminates, and AE sensor was attached to measure AE signal induced by failure of specimen. Fracture toughness was calculated using cumulative AE energy and measured crack length using camera. The calculated fracture toughness was applied in FE model and the result of FE analysis compared with DCB test results. The results show good agreement with between FEM and DCB test results.

본 연구의 목적은 원자력 배관용 스테인레스강의 J-R곡선을 예측하기 위한 2가지 방법 올 제시하는 것이다. 첫 번째 방법에서는 균열길이/시편폭 비를 변수로 한 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하여 파괴변형률에 근거한 P-$\delta$곡선을 얻고, 이 결과로부터 일반궤적법을 응용하여 J-R곡선을 구하였다. 두 번째 방법에서는 $\sigma$-$\varepsilon$곡선과 J-R곡선의 상관관계를 통계처리하여 응력-변형률시험결과로부터 J-R곡선을 예측할 수 있는 실험식을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법들을 이용하여 구한 예측결과는 실험결과와 대체로 잘 일치하였다.

This paper suggests a vibration control method long span structures with trussed roof. Basic concept of this method is based on the energy absorption through hysteresis loop of an elasto-plastic element. This element is attached on the top of the column supporting the roof. Two different types of roofs and three of earthquake waves are used in the investigation. It shows that this is very efficient method to reduce the seismic energy of roof member transferred from the column.

The elastic-plastic fracture toughness($J_{IC}$) and fracture resistance (J-R curve) of SA508-3 alloy steel used for nuclear reactor pressure vessel are investigated by using CT-type specimens. Fracture toughness tests are conducted by unloading compliance method and multiple specimen method at room temperature, -2$0^{\circ}C$ and 20$0^{\circ}C$. The apparent negative crack growth phenomenon which usually arises in partial unloading compliance test is well known. The negative crack growth phenomenon in determining J sub(IC) or J-R cure from partial unloading compliance experiments may be eliminated by the offset technique. In this study, the evaluation of $J_{IC}$ multiple specimen method recommended by the JSME gives the most reliable results by using half-size CT(similar-type) specimens.
