Fracture behavior of ex-serviced 1Cr-0.5Mo steel was measured at room(24$^{\circ}C$) and elevated(538$^{\circ}C$) temperature and compared with that measured with virgin 1Cr-0.5Mo steel. Compact C(T) specimens were machined from the base and welded test materials. In case of the C(T) specimens of the weld, fatigue precrack was introduced along the fusion line so that a crack growth should occur along the region of heat affected zone. It was observed that the J-R curve of the serviced material was significantly lower than that of the virgin material at room temperature. Brittle fracture was observed in the serviced material. On the other hand at elevated temperature no noticeable difference was found between the J-R curves of the virgin and the serviced material. The measured J-R curves were also compared with those of the 1.25Cr-0.5Mo steel from other literatures. Optical microscopy and SEM examination of the serviced material reveal the carbide in/along the grain boundary which shows material degradation due to long-term usage.

본 연구에서는 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene(ENB)과 가교제가 혼합된 ENB 자가치료제에 melamine-urea-formaldehyde로 둘러싸인 마이크로캡슐을 제조하였다. 이때 자가치료제에는 빨간 색소를 첨가하여 관찰이 용이하도록 하였다. 마이크로캡슐의 열적 저항성과 캡슐의 크기 및 분포 그리고 형상을 관찰한 결과 우수한 캡슐이 제조된 것을 확인하였으며, 자가치료제에 빨간 색소의 첨가가 캡슐의 형성에 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 마이크로캡슐과 Grubbs 촉매를 에폭시 코팅 층에 분산시킨 다음 이에 손상을 가하여 크랙을 유발하고 그것을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 크랙에 의해 캡슐이 파손되어 자가치료제가 흘러나와 크랙 면을 채우고 촉매와 반응하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper provides integrity evaluation and root cause analysis for defects observed at volute tongue, or cutwater, of the operating centrifugal pump in power plant. The cause of the cracks are analyzed and reviewed from the viewpoint of the operation and maintenance of the pumps, and the sample obtained from the cracked volute tongue of the pump are examined. At first, in-situ hardness test and microstructure examination were performed to understand the cause of cracking at volute tongue. The evaluation of structural integrity and the possibility of the crack propagation is also evaluated. Cracks were typical intergranular cracking and propagated along with prior austenite grain boundary. At easing volute tongue, the hardness was higher than ASTM requirement and a large amount of intergranular Cr carbide was precipitated. These were due to high C content in material. P content was also higher than ASTM requirement. Therefore, Cr carbide precipitation and P segregation at grain boundary, caused by higher C and P content in material, resulted in intergranular cracking of casing volute tongue. This procedure for integrity evaluation and root cause analysis is used to guide, and support the pump designer and manufacturer's material selection and process design to avoid a costly, unplanned outage of plant.

The present article shows how the fracture strength of single crystal silicon chips, which are generally used as semiconductor devices, is influenced by loading rate variation during a 3-point bending test. It was found that the fracture strength of the silicon chips slightly increases up to 4% with increasing loading rate for loading rates lower than 20 mm/min. Meanwhile, the fracture strength of the chips hardly increases with increase of loading rate to levels higher than 40 mm/min. However, there was an abrupt transition in the fracture strength within a loading rate range of 20 mm/min to 40 mm/min. This work explains through microscopic examination of the fracture surface of all test chips that such a big transition is related to the deflection of crack propagation direction from the (011) [${\bar{1}}00$] system to the (111) [${\bar{2}}11$] system in a particular loading rate (i.e. from 20 mm/min to 40 mm/min).

SGBEM-FEM 교호법이 Nikishkov, Park 및 Atluri 에 의하여 제안되었었다. 제안된 방법을 사용하면 임의 형태의 평면 혹은 비평면 삼차원 균열에 대하여 복합 모드의 응력강도계수를 구할 수 있다. 그러나 현장에서의 적용을 위해서는 이 방법의 정확성 및 신뢰성에 대한 검토가 더욱 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 응력강도계수에 영향을 주는 주요한 몇 가지 인자를 검토하였다. 그리고 원통의 내부 및 외부에 존재하는 원주방향 표면균열에 대한 응력강도계수를 구하여 기존의 해와 비교하였다. 그 결과 SGBEM-FEM 교호법은 이들 균열에 대하여 정확한 해를 주고 있음을 확인하였다.

To define the causes of cladding degradation which can take place during the operation of nuclear power plants, it is required to develop the new fracture toughness test of spent fuel cladding. The fracture toughness of Zircaloy-4 cladding was estimated using the recently developed KAERI embedded Charpy (KEC) specimen. Axially notched KEC specimens cut directly from unirradiated fuel claddings, were tested in a way similar to the standard toughness test method of a Single Edge Bending (SEB) specimen. The results of KEC fracture toughness test at room temperatures were discussed and compared with those of the previous other studies. In conclusions, even though the KEC fracture toughness test of nuclear fuel claddings was easier and more reliable than those developed earlier, the results from the cladding fracture tests were not the material characteristics but the specific fracture parameters which were deeply related to the specification of claddings. In addition, the phenomenon of a thickness yielding was not observed from the fracture surface. It was closely related to the fact that the plane strain condition of the KEC specimen was changed to the plane stress condition during crack advancing. It was also supported by the fractographic evidence that the formation of ductile dimples at the crack initiation became the similar appearance such as a quasi-cleavage after the sufficient crack advancing.

비금속 및 금속 재료에 존재하는 미소균열 검출에는 펄스에코법으로 고주파수 집속형 수직 탐촉자를 사용하거나 표면파를 사용한 사각 탐상법을 주로 사용한다. 이러한 방법은 압연 롤, 세라믹 롤 등 대형 구조물의 표면에 존재하는 미소 균열의 존재 여부, 위치 및 깊이 측정을 위한 자동화 초음파 탐상장치를 개발하는 다량의 검사 데이터, 결함 위치정보의 불확실성 등 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 대구경 초음파 탐촉자를 사용하여 초음파 회절현상을 발생시킴으로써, 미세 균열의 존재 여부 및 위치 등의 검사결과를 실시간 A, B, C-Scan으로 표시할 수 있었다. 또한 기존의 방법보다 정량적으로 표면 균열의 깊이를 정확하게 측정 가능한 방법을 제시하였다. 초음파의 회절현상을 이용함으로서 기존의 방법보다 검사 속도 및 시간이 10배 이상으로 향상되고 균열의 깊이를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Failure of basic structures material is usually accompanied by expansion of interior cracks due to stress concentration at the cracks tip. This phenomenon shows the importance of examination of the failure behavior of concrete structures. To this end, 4 types of mortar samples with different amounts of nano-silica (0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) were made to prepare twelve $50{\times}50{\times}50mm$ cubic samples. The goal of this study was to describe the failure and micro-crack growth behavior of the cement mortars in presence of nano-silica particles and control mortars during different curing days. Failure of mortar samples under compressive strength were sensed with acoustic emission technique (AET) at different curing days. It was concluded that the addition of nano-silica particles could modify failure and micro-crack growth behavior of mortar samples. Also, monitoring of acoustic emission parameters exposed differences in failure behavior due to the addition of the nanoparticles. Mortar samples of nano-silica particles revealed stronger shear mode characteristics than those without nanoparticles, which revealed high acoustic activity due to heterogeneous matrix. It is worth mentioning that the highest compressive strength for 3 and 7 test ages obtained from samples with the addition of 1.5% nano-silica particles. On the other hand maximum compressive strength of 28 curing days obtained from samples with 1% combination of nano-silica particles.

After several damages by PWSCC were found in the world, USNRC and PNNL(Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) started the research on PWSCC under the project name of PINC. The aim of the project was 1) to fabricate representative NDE mock-ups with flaws to simulate PWSCCs, 2) to identify and quantitatively assess NDE methods for accurately detecting, sizing and characterizing PWSCCs, 3) to document the range of locations and morphologies of PWSCCs and 4) to incorporate results with other results of ongoing PWSCC research programs, as appropriate. Korea nuclear industries have also been participating in the project. Thermally and mechanically cracked-four mockups were prepared and phased array and manual ultrasonic testing(UT) techniques were applied. The results and lessons learned from the preliminary RRT are summarized as follows: 1) Korea RRT teams performed the RRT successfully. 2) Crack detection probability of the participating organizations was an average 87%, 80% and 80% respectively. 3) RMS error of the crack sizing showed comparatively good results. 4) The lessons learned may be helpful to perform the PINC RRT and PSI /ISI in Korea in the future.

초고강도 콘크리트의 강도와 유동성 확보를 위해 실리카흄(SF)를 사용하는 전통적인 방식에서 벗어나 산화 그래핀 나노플레이트릿(Oxidized graphene nanoplatelet, GO)와 유공유리분말( Hollow glass powder, HGP)를 사용한 초고강도 콘크리트를 개발하였고 본 연구에서는 자기수축 특성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과 SF를 사용한 Ref 배합보다 SF를 사용하지 않고 cGO(C사의 GO)와 HGP를 사용한 NewMix 배합의 자기수축이 13% 정도 감소하였다. NewMix의 자기수축에 의한 균열발생은 Ref 보다 1일 정도 지연되었고 균열발생 시의 인장응력은 가장 높았다. cGO의 높은 비표면적과 우수한 분산성으로 콘크리트 내의 공극들이 충전 되어 자기수축이 감소하고 cGO에 의한 균열저항 성능이 증가하여 초고강도 콘크리트의 자기수축 균열 제어에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
