A series of test was performed by measuring the failure strength and the failure mode of fiber reinforced composite laminates joint containing two holes in Series or Parallel. $[0^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}]_s$ laminate with W/d(Side distance ratio) 4.0 and E/d(Edge distance ratio) 3.0 has the full bearing strength and are preferable in case of the good efficiency in two series hole. Comparisons were made between testing results and predicting values of the FEM model. Good agreements were fecund between them except the case of $E/d=2{\sim}3$. In the case of $G_h{\geq}3.0d$ and $G_v{\geq}3.0d$ since the interaction coefficients between two parallel holes and between two series holes were small, holes can be treated as independent. The Acoustic Emission(AE) and SEM method were utilized to find out the initial defects, damage and the fracture mechanism.

용접구조물을 그의 사용목적에 적합하게 제작하려면 그의 구조설계와 사용재료의 적절한 선택과 사용성능을 충분히 확보하게 끔 제작과정과 품질보증을 할 수 있는 것이 필요하다. 즉 용접성 (Weldability)을 만족하게 하는 것이다. 구조물의 제작에 있어서 배려하여야 할 것은 구조의 사 용성능의 확보와 안전성인 것이다. 사용성능이란 구조의 강도, 기능 그리고 미관이나 끝내기의 외관적 성능등이다. 우리들의 생활공간에 존재하는 구조물이 한번 파손이나 파괴의 사고가 발 생하면 치명적인 것이 된다. 용접설계 생산과 제작의 기술적인 준비로써 용접구조물을 대상으로 용접가공에 중점을 두어 사용되는 말이다. 용접설계는 구조물과 제품의 용접제작과정을 완전히 지시하고 용접이음에 요구되는 사용성능이 확보 되게 끔 부재배치와 치수등이 선정되고 제작과 검사등의 실제 작업성을 충분하게 고려한 제작계획을 세우는 것을 말한다. 이와 같이 된 용접 설계를 바탕으로 용접기술자가 최적한 용접재료의 용접조건등을 결정한다. 즉 설계와 용접시공은 서로 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있어야 한다. 특히 용접설계의 비교적 초기단계에 속하는 것은 제품 기본계획과 강도해석 그리고 구조설계의 과정에 반드시 용접기술자의 관여가 필요한 것이다. 그리고 설계의 최적화를 위하여는 많은 정보 특히 경험적인 정보와 구조 해석적인 정보가 잘 처리되어야 한다. 오늘날의 CAD의 도입이란 전산기의 처리기술과 graphic기술을 묘미 있게 이 용한 것이라 할 수 있다. 용접구조물의 용접성을 논술하려면 다음과 같이 구분하는 것이 바람 직하다. 1. 용접구조물의 허용강도 2. 동접구조용의 강의 선택 3. 용접시공조건 4. 용접설계 이중 용접 제작과정을 표 1에 나타내었다. 구조물의 용접설계 요구조건으로써, 1)손상, 2)탄성 파손, 3)항복응력, 4)기계적인 불안정성, 5)파괴와 붕괴등을 고려하여야 하며 구조용 강의 선택은 1. 강도(strength) 2.연성(ductility) 3.인성(toughness)을 고려하여 구조물의 설계에 충분히 만 족해야 한다.

In order to evaluate the strength of carbody structures of railway rolling stock made of laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials, total laminate approach was introduced. Structural analyses were conducted to check the basic design of hybrid composite carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h. The mechanical tests were also conducted to obtain strengths of composite laminates. The results show that all stress components of composite carbody structures are inside of failure envelopes and total laminate approach is recommended to predict the failure of hybrid composite carbody structures at the stage of the basic design.

파단전 누수균열을 일으키는 가장 주요한 파손 형태는 피로파손으로 사료되어, 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다. 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관은 발전로에 비해 저온, 저압이므로 ASME Class 3 로 분류되어 설계 완료되었지만 Class 3 절차에 의해서는 피로해석을 구체적으로 수행할 수 없어, 본 연구의 피로해석에 서는 Class 1 절차에 따라 피크응력강도의 범위를 보수적으로 계산하여 피로누적계수를 산정하였다. 일차냉각계통 배관 중에서 피로파괴 가능성이 가장 큰 것으로 예상되는 고응력 지점을 배관응력해석 결과로부터 선택하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 선택된 분기관 연결부, 앵커 지점 및 butt 용접부의 피로누적계수들이 모두 1 보다 훨씬 작았으므로 열평창과 OBE 지진하중으로 인한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성은 매우 희박한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 냉각재 상실시 파단전 누수균열 개념을 적용하기 위한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손에 대한 배관의 건전성은 충분히 입증된 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the bearing strengths and fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites were investigated through pin loading test. The composites were fabricated by a filament winding process, and two types of laminated patterns were considered. According to the results, type 1 pattern revealed a net-tension failure mode, whereas type 2 pattern exhibited a bearing failure mode. Also, acoustic emission energy of the type 2 pattern was higher than that of the type 1 pattern. Therefore, the type 2 pattern was found to be structurally safer than the type 1 pattern.

Strength is not simply a single given value but rather is a statistical one with certain distribution functions. This is because it is affected by many unknown factors such as size, shape, stress distribution, and combined stresses. In this study, a model of loss probability is proposed in view of the fact that one of the fundamental configuration of nature is hexagonal, for example, the shapes of lattice unit, grain, and so on. The model sues the concept of loss of certain element in place of Jayatilaka-Trustrum's length and angle of cracks. Using this model, the loss probability due to each loss of certain elements is obtained. Then, the maximum principal stress is calculated by the finite element method at the centroid of the elements under the tensile load for the 4,095 models of analysis. Finally, the failure probability of the brittle materials is obtained by multiplying the loss probability by the ratio of the maximum principal stress to theoretical tensile strength. Comparison of the result of the Jayatilaka-Trustrum's model and the proposed model shows that the failure probabilities by the two methods are in good agreement. Further, it is shown that the parametric relationship of semi-crack lengths for various degrees of birittleness can be determined. Therefore, the analysis of the failure probability suing the proposed model is shown to be promising as a new method for the study of the failure probability of birttle materials.

This paper studied the AE(acoustic emission) characteristics of the laminated composite structures. The composite stiffened panels under the compressive loading emitted various AE signals when they buckled or changed the buckling modes. In addition, the failure initiated and propagation generated a lot of complex signals. From the continuous signal generation. we identified when the failures initiated and whether they propagated or not. The single lap joint of laminated plates under tensional load also generated AE signals when bonding region failed. The first failure occurrence and its propagation are monitored by generated AE signals. The characteristics of AE signals used in this analysis are cumulative hits, hit distribution, peak frequency of generated AE waveform and amplitude of signals. The analysis of AE signals shows that continuous increment of cumulative hits can be regarded as damage propagation and three dominant peak frequencies can correspond to typical failure modes in the laminated composites.

In this study, tests and finite element analyses were performed regarding compression after impact strength for laminated composite structures of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic widely used in structural materials. Two lay-up sequences of composite laminates were selected as test specimens and four impact energy conditions were applied respectively. Impact and compressive strength tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM standards. Impact damages in test specimens were analyzed by using non-destructive inspection method of C-Scan, and compression after impact strengths were calculated with compressive test results. Progressive failure analysis method that can progressively simulate damages and fractures of fiber/matrix/lamina/laminate level was used for impact and compressive strength analyses. All analysis results including contact force, deflection, impact damages, compressive strengths, etc. were compared to test results, and the validity of analysis method was verified.

The last stage blades of a low pressure (LP) turbine get frequently fractured because of stress corrosion cracking. This is because they operate in a severe corrosive environment that is caused by the impurities dissolved in condensed steam and high stress due to high speed rotation. To improve the reliability of the blades under severe conditions, 12% Cr martensitic stainless steel, having excellent corrosion resistance and higher strength, is widely used as the blade material. This paper shows the result of root cause analysis on a blade which got fractured suddenly during normal operation. Testing of mechanical properties and microstructure examination were performed on the fractured blade and on a blade in sound condition. The results of testing of mechanical properties of the fractured blade showed that the hardness were higher but impact energy were lower, and were not meeting the criteria as per the material certificate specification. This result showed that the fractured blade became embrittled. The branch-type crack was found to have propagated through the grain boundary and components of chloride and sulfur were detected on the fractured surface. Based on these results, the root cause of fracture was confirmed to be stress corrosion cracking.

The strength of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites is, in general, known to be increased by the geometrically necessary dislocations punched around a particle that form during cooling after consolidation because of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the particle and the matrix. An additional strength increase may also be observed, since another type of geometrically necessary dislocation can be formed during extensive deformation as a result of the strain gradient plasticity due to the elastic-plastic mismatch between the particle and the matrix. In this paper, the magnitudes of these two types of dislocations are calculated based on the dislocation plasticity. The dislocations are then converted to the respective strengths and allocated hierarchically to the matrix around the particle in the axisymmetric finite-element unit cell model. The proposed method is shown to be very effective by performing finite-element strength analysis of $SiC_p$/Al2124-T4 composites that included ductile failure in the matrix and particlematrix decohesion. The predicted results for different particle sizes and volume fractions show that the length scale effect of the particle size obviously affects the strength and failure behavior of the particle-reinforced metal matrix composites.
