  • This study is concerned with a correlation of microstructure and local brittle zone (LBZ) in offshore structural steel welds. The influence of the LBZ on fracture toughness was investigated by means of simulated heat-affected zone (HAZ) tests as well as welded joint tests. Micromechanical processes involved in void and cleavage microcrack formation were also identified using notched round tensile tests and subsequent SEM observations. The LBZ in the HAZ of a multiphase welded joint is the interstitially reheated coarse grained HAZ, which is influenced by metallurgical factors such as effective grain size, the major matrix structure and the amount of high-carbon martensite-austenite (M-A) constituents. The experimental results indicate that Chirpy energy was found to scale monotonically with the amount of M-A constituents, confirming that the M-A constituent is the major microstructural factor controlling the HAZ toughness. In addition, voids and microcracks are observed to initiate at M-A constituents by the shear cracking process. Thus, the M-A constituent played an important role in initiating the voids and microcracks, and consequently caused brittle fracture.

  • One of the critical design problems involved in deep tunnelling in brittle rock, is the creation of surface spalling damage and breakouts. If weak fault zone is developed in deep tunnel, squeezing problem is added to the problems. According to the results of ground investigation in the study area, hard granitic rockmass and distinguished high angle fault zone are distributed on the tunnel level over 400m depth. To analyse the probability of brittle failure and squeezing, ground characterization with special lab. and field test were carried out. By the results, probability of brittle failures like spalling and rock burst is very low. But squeezing may be probable, if weak fault zone observed surface and drill core is extended to designed tunnel level.

  • The fatigue strength of the welds is affected by such factors as the weld geometry, microstructures, tensile properties and residual stresses caused by fabrication. It is very important to evaluate the structural integrity of the welds in nuclear power plant because the weldment undergoes the most of damage and failure mechanisms. In this study, the fatigue assessments for a reactor vessel outlet nozzle with the weldment to the piping system are performed considering the welding residual stresses as well as the effect of local brittle zone in the vicinity of the weld fusion line. The analytical approaches employed are the microstructure and mechanical properties prediction by semi-analytical method, the thermal and stress analysis including the welding residual stress analysis by finite element method, the fatigue life assessment by following the ASME Code rules. The calculated results of cumulative usage factors(CUF) are compared for cases of the elastic and elasto-plastic analysis, and with or without residual stress and local brittle zone effects, respectively. Finally, the fatigue life of reactor vessel outlet nozzle weld is slightly affected by the local brittle zone and welding residual stresses.

  • 본 연구에서는 탄성, 탄소성 및 실험을 통해 유도된 비선형-취성-소성 모델을 지하 심부 원형터널의 경우에 적용하여 각 모델에 따른 특성과 추정되는 응력재분배 및 응력교란 범위를 비교하였다. 현지 초기응력의 크기와 주응력차가 커질수록 파괴영 역이 파괴되지 않은 영역에 미치는 응력재분배와 교란의 영향이 증가되기 때문에, 탄소성 또는 탄성 해석의 경우보다 비선형-취성-소성 해석결과에서 응력재분배 및 교란영역, 주응력차와 변위가 더 크게 발생하였다. 따라서 현지 응력 수준과 현지 주응력차가 클 경우, 비선형-취성-소성 해석에 의해 손상영 역의 범위가 더 크게 발생할 것으로 예측되므로 손상해석의 필요성이 증대될 것으로 판단되었다.

  • This work deals with unilateral effect of quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete. For this propose, a two-dimensional meso-scale model is presented. The material is considered as a three-phase material consisting of interface zone, matrix and inclusions - each constituent modeled by an appropriate constitutive model. The Representative Volume Element (RVE) consists of inclusions idealized as circular shapes randomly placed into the specimen. The interface zone is modeled by means of cohesive contact finite elements developed here in order to capture the effects of phase debonding and interface crack closure/opening. As an initial approximation, the inclusion is modeled as linear elastic as well as the matrix. Our main goal here is to show a computational homogenization-based approach as an alternative to complex macroscopic constitutive models for the mechanical behavior of the quasi-brittle materials using a finite element procedure within a purely kinematical multi-scale framework. A set of numerical examples, involving the microcracking processes, is provided. It illustrates the performance of the proposed model. In summary, the proposed homogenization-based model is found to be a suitable tool for the identification of macroscopic mechanical behavior of quasi-brittle materials dealing with unilateral effect.

  • This study introduces a newly discovered brittle star, Amphiophiura megapoma, from the mesophotic zone in the East Sea, Korea. It is the second species belonging to the genus Amphiophiura (which includes 57 species) to be recorded in Korean waters after A. sculpta. The specimen was discovered during a September 2022 survey, by SCUBA diving in the upper mesophotic zone of the East Sea, Korea. This study presents the morphological characteristics of A. megapoma, highlighting its differences from the related species within a comprehensive taxonomic description. It provides high-resolution images of A. megapoma and a taxonomic key for Amphiophiura species in Korea.

  • 8 wt.% 망간 (Mn) 이 함유된 마르텐사이트계 고 Mn강은 고강도용 강재로 산업현장에 적용될 수 있는 유용한 재료이다. 그러나, 다량의 망간의 함유로 인한 용접성 저하로 상용화를 위해서는 용접성 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 gleeble simulator 를 통해 열영향부를 재현한 후 local brittle zones(LBZs) 을 규명하였다. 모재는 Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) 및 X-Ray Diffractometer(XRD) 로 분석결과 다량의 Mn 함유로 인해 lath마르텐사이트 미세조직과 소량의 잔류 오스테나이트로 구성되어 있었다. 용접부에서 모재까지 Vickers 경도계로 경도 분포를 측정한 결과 coarse-grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) 에서 fine-grained heat affected zone (FGHAZ) 까지 경도 증가 후 subcritical heat affected zone (SCHAZ) 까지 급격한 경도 감소 거동을 보였다. 열영향부의 미세조직은 투과전자현미경 (TEM)으로 분석하였다. 연성취성천이온도 (DBTT) 측정을 위해 온도 구간을 상온, $0^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$, $-40^{\circ}C$, $-60^{\circ}C$, $-80^{\circ}C$으로 설정하여 charpy impact test를 시행하였다. 그 결과 coarse-grained heat affected zone(CGHAZ) 에서 조대한 결정립으로 인해 낮은 충격값을 보였다.

  • Hertzian indentation tests with sphere indenters were used to study the mechanical properties of glass-in-filtrated alumina and spinel composites and evaluated the effect of preform microstructure and evaluated the effect of preform microstructure and glass con-tents on contanct damage and strength. The spinel composite showed more brittle behavior than the alumina composite which is verified from indentation stress-strain curve cone cracks and quasi-plastic deformation developed at subsurface. Failure originated from either cone cracks(brittle mode) or deformation zone(quasi-plastic mode) above critical load for cracking(Pc) and yield ({{{{ {P }_{Y } }}) with the brittle mode more dominant in the spinels and the quasi-plastic mode more dominant in the aluminas. Even though brittle mode was dominant in the spinel composites the strength degradation from accumulation of damage above these critical loads was conspicuously small suggesting that the glass-infiltrated composites should be highly damage tolerant to the blunt contacts.

  • In this article, the dynamic fracture instability characteristics, including dynamic crack propagation and crack branching, in PMMA brittle solids under dynamic loading are investigated using the discrete element method (DEM) simulations. The microscopic parameters in DEM are first calibrated using the comparison with the previous experimental results not only in the field of qualitative analysis, but also in the field of quantitative analysis. The calibrating process illustrates that the selected microscopic parameters in DEM are suitable to effectively and accurately simulate dynamic fracture process in PMMA brittle solids subjected to dynamic loads. The typical dynamic fracture behaviors of solids under dynamic loading are then reproduced by DEM. Compared with the previous experimental and numerical results, the present numerical results are in good agreement with the existing ones not only in the field of qualitative analysis, but also in the field of quantitative analysis. Furthermore, effects of dynamic loading magnitude, offset distance of the initial crack and initial crack length on dynamic fracture behaviors are numerically discussed.
