An iteration method has been developed for determining crack growth and fracture resistance cure (J-R curve) from the load versus load-line displacement record only. In this method, the hardening curve, the load versus displacement curve at a given crack length, is assumed to be a power-law function, where the exponent varies with the crack length. The exponent is determined by an iterative calculation method with the assumption that the exponent varies linearly with the load-line displacement. The proposed method was applied to the static J-R tests using compact tension(CT) specimens, a three-point bend (TPB) specimen, and a cracked round bar (CRB) specimen as well as it was applied to the quasi-dynamic J-R tests using CT specimens. The J-R curves determined by the proposed method were compared with those obtained by the conventional testing methodologies. The results showed that the J-R curves could be determined directly by the proposed iteration method with sufficient accuracy in the specimens from SA508, SA533, and SA516 pressure vessel steels and SA312 Type 347 stainless steel.

Fatigue crack growth experiments were carried out on a 304 L stainless steel compact-tension(CT) specimen under load control mode. Neutron diffraction was employed to quantitatively measure the residual strains/stresses and the evolution of stress fields in the vicinity of a propagating fatigue-crack tip. Three principal stress components (i.e. crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction stresses) were examined in-situ under loading as a function of distance from the crack tip along the crack-propagation path. The stress/strain fields, measured both at the mid-thickness and near the surface of the CT specimen, were compared. The results show that much higher compressive residual stress fields developed in front of the crack tip near the surface than developed at the mid-thickness area. The change of the stresses ahead of the crack tip under loading is more significant at the mid-thickness area than it is near the surface.

Fatigue crack growth retardation of 304 L stainless steel is studied using a neutron diffraction method. Three orthogonal strain components(crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction) are measured in the vicinity of the crack tip along the crack propagation direction. The residual strain profiles (1) at the mid-thickness and (2) at the 1.5 mm away from the mid-thickness of the compact tension(CT) specimen are compared. Residual lattice strains at the 1.5 mm location are slightly higher than at the mid-thickness. The CT specimen is deformed in situ under applied loads, thereby providing evolution of the internal stress fields around the crack tip. A tensile overload results in an increased magnitude of the compressive residual stress field. In the crack growth retardation, it is found that the stresses are dispersed in the crack-wake region, where the highest compressive residual stresses are measured. Our neutron diffraction mapping results reveal that the dominant mechanism is by interrupting the transfer of stress concentration at the crack tip.

Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CFCCs) have a complex distribution of porosity, consisting of interfiber micro pores and interbundle/interply macro pores. Owing to the complex geometry of the pores and fiber architecture, it is difficult to obtain representative microstructural features throughout the specimen volume with conventional, destructive ceramographic approaches. In this study, we introduce X-ray computed microtomography (X-ray ${\mu}CT$) to nondestructively analyze the microstructures of disk shaped and tubular $SiC_f$/SiC composites fabricated by the chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) method. The disk specimen made by stacking plain-woven SiC fabrics exhibited periodic, large fluctuation of porosity in the stacking direction but much less variation of porosity perpendicular to the fabric planes. The X-ray ${\mu}CT$ evaluation of the microstructure was also effectively utilized to improve the fabrication process of the triple-layered tubular SiC composite.

이 연구에서는 3D 프린팅 복합재료의 레올로지 특성과 출력 패턴에 따른 적층 시험체의 압축강도 특성을 평가하였다. 레올로지 측정결과, 압출 후 60분 후부터 급격한 재료 변화가 나타났으며, 배합직후 대비 1.4배 높은 항복응력과 14.94~25.62% 낮은 소성점도를 나타내었다. 실린더 몰드에 제작한 시험체와 적층 시험체의 압축강도를 비교하였으며, 적층 시험체의 출력패턴은 0°, 45°, 90°를 변수로 하였다. 재령 1~28일까지의 몰드 타설 시험체와 적층 시험체의 압축강도는 출력 패턴과 관계없이 유사한 성능을 나타내었다. 특히, 재령 28일에서는 모든 시험체의 초기 접선탄성계수와 최고 압축강도 및 최대 응력 시 변형률은 거의 동일하게 나타났다. X-ray CT분석을 통한 적층 시험체의 계면 분석결과, 압축강도 측정 후의 시험체의 적층 계면에서의 균열이 발생하지 않은 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 적층 시험체 내의 각각의 계면이 일체화 거동을 한 것으로 판단할 수 있다.

Trabecular bone can be accurately represented using image-based finite element modeling and analysis of these bone models is widely used to predict their mechanical properties. However, the choice of thresholding technique, a necessary step in converting grayscale images to finite element models which can thus significantly influence the structure of the resulting finite element model, is often overlooked. Therefore, we investigated the effects of thresholding techniques on micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) based finite element models of trabecular bone. Three types of thresholding techniques were applied to micro-CT images of trabecular bone which resulted in three unique finite element models for each specimen. Bone volume fractions and apparent moduli were predicted for each model and compared to experimental results. Our findings suggest that predictions of apparent properties agree well with experimental measurements regardless of the choice of thresholding technique in micro CT images of trabecular bone.

본 연구에서는 피로파괴에 영향을 주는 여러 인자중에서 우선 피로크랙전파에 대한 시험편 두께의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 최초 두께 25mm인 일반구조용 압연강재를 평면가공하여 두께 5, 10, 15, 20, 25mm인 CT 시험편을 가공한 후 인장-인장편진반 복피로시험을 행하여 실험한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 피로수명이 가장 짧게 나타나는 임의의 시험편 두께가 존재하며, 본 실험의 경우에는 두께 15m인 시험편의 경우 피로수명이 가장 짧게 나타났다. 2. 피로크랙의 발생은 두께가 두꺼운 시험편의 경우가 늦지만 피로크랙 성장은 두꺼운 시험편의 경우가 빠르게 나타났다. 3. 본 실험에서 paris시의 계수 m의 값은 절위는 1.98~4.59로서 시험편의 두께가 두꺼울수록 m의 값이 크게 된다.

본 연구에서는 화강암 내부의 미세균열 분포에 따른 이방성이 수압파쇄실험 결과에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 압력증가율을 일정하게 설정하여 수압파쇄실험을 수행한 결과, 원주방향(주입정 방향과 직교)으로 리프트면이 분포한 시료의 파쇄압력이 가장 낮게 측정되었고, 이는 미세균열의 밀도가 높기 때문이다. 수압파쇄실험과정에서 시료 내부의 변화가 발생하는 주입압력의 크기와 유체 주입속도의 변화 또한 결방향에 따라 분포한 미세균열의 밀도와 관계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 유체주입속도를 일정하게 설정하여 수압파쇄실험을 수행하였을 경우, 상대적으로 미세균열의 밀도가 높은 리프트면이 원주방향으로 분포된 시료에서 주입압력증가율이 낮게 나타났고, 유체가 침투될 수 있는 균열망이 상대적으로 적게 형성된 그레인면 및 하드웨이면이 원주방향으로 분포된 시료에서는 압력증가율이 높게 나타났다. X-ray CT 촬영을 통해 시료 내부에 생성된 균열의 방향을 확인한 결과, 대부분의 시료에서 리프트면 혹은 그레인면과 평행한 방향으로 균열이 생성된 것을 확인하였고, 이는 암석 내에 상대적으로 미세균열의 밀도가 높아서 분리성이 크기 때문이다.

A newly developed line-style sand pluviator has been calibrated to prepare repeatable sand specimens of specific statuses of compactness and homogeneity for laboratory tests. Sand is falling via a bottom slot of a fixed hopper, and by moving the sample container under the slot, the container is evenly filled with sand. The pluviator is designed with high flexibility: The falling height of sand, the hopper's opening width and the relative moving speed between the hopper and the sample box can be easily adjusted. By changing these control factors, sand specimens of a wide range of densities can be prepared. A series of specimen preparation was performed using the coarse Merwede River sand. Performance of the pluviator was systematically evaluated by exploring the alteration of achievable density, as well as checking the homogeneity and fabric of the prepared samples by CT scanning. It was found that the density of prepared coarse sand samples has monotonic correlations with none of the three control factors. Furthermore, CT scanning results suggested that the prepared samples exhibited excellent homogeneity in the horizontal direction but periodical alteration of density in the vertical direction. Based on these calibration test results, a preliminary hypothesis is proposed to describe the general working principles of this type of pluviators a priori, illustrating the mechanisms dominating the non-monotonic correlations between control factors and the relative density as well as the vertically prevalent heterogeneity of specimens. Accordingly, practical recommendations are made in a unified framework in order to lessen the load of similar calibration work.
