Two parameter technique that uses far-field stress and displacement distributions was applied to composite laminates in order to calculate mode II energy release rate, $G_{II}$ . The $G_{II}$ calculated by two parameter technique was compared with that calculated from the crack closure method to inspect the effectiveness of two parameter technique. Sensitivity study of two parameter technique to the crack extension size was also performed. The results showed that both methods produced comparable $G_{II}$ results. In particular, it was found that although the crack closure method was affected by the crack extension size, the two parameter technique was less affected by the crack extension size.

An engineering method is suggested to calculate the applied load versus crack extension in the elastic-plastic fracture. The condition for an increment of crack extension is set by a critical increment of crack-up opening displacement(CTOD). The ratio of the CTOD increment to the incremental crack extention is a critical crack-tip opening angle(CTOA), assumed to be constant for a material of a given thickness. The Dugdale model of crack-tip deformation in an infinite plate is applied to the method, and a complete solution for crack extension and crack instability is obtained. For finite-size specimens of arbitrary geometry in general yielding, an approximate generalization of the Dugdale model is suggested so that the approximation approaches the small-scale yielding solution in a low applied load and the finite-element solution in a large applied load. Maximum load is calculated so that an applied load attains either a limit load on an unbroken ligament or a peak load during crack extension. The proposed method was applied to three-point bend specimens of a carbon steel SM45C in various sizes. Reasonable agreements are found between calculated maximum loads and experimental failure loads. Therefore, the method can be a viable alternative to the J-R curve approach in the elastic-plastic fracture analysis.

Modified singular fracture process zone(S-FPZ) model is proposed in this paper to determine a fracture criterion for continuous crack propagation in concrete. The investigated fracture properties of the proposed fracture model are strain energy release rate at a micro-crack tip and the relationship between crack closure stress(CCS) and crack opening displacement(COD) in the FPZ. The proposed model can simulate the actual fracture energy of experimental results fairly well. The results of the experimental data analysis show that specimen geometry and loading condition did not affect the CCS-COD relation. However, the strain energy release rate is a function of not only specimen geometry but also crack extension. The strain energy release rate remained constantly at the minimum value up to the crack extension of 25 mm, and then it increased linearly to the maximum value. The maximum fracture criterion occurred at the peak load for specimens of large size. The fracture criterion remained at the maximum value after the peak load. The variation of the fracture criterion is caused by micro-cracking and micro-crack localization. The fracture criterion of strain energy release rate can simply be the size effect of concrete fracture, and it can be used to quantify the micro-cracking and micro-crack localizing behavior of concrete.

CLWL-DCB 시험편에 대한 변위제어 파괴실험으로 381mm의 균열성장에 대한 저항곡선이 유도되었다. 변형률 게이지를 사용하여 측정된 평균 균열성장속도는 0.70 mm/sec와 55mm/sec이었다. 초기균열에서 측정된 회전각도는 0.70 mm/sec와 55mm/sec의 균열속도에 대해 각각 최소한 171mm와 93mm의 균열성장 이전에 특이성이 존재하는 것을 보여주었다. 저항곡선의 최대 기울기는 0.70mm/sec 균열속도에 대해 25.4mm와 88.9mm 그리고 55mm/sec 균열속도에 대해 50.8 mm와 127mm의 균열성장길이 사이에서 발생되며, 미소균열 국부화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 빠른 균열속도에서 미소균열성장 구역은 보다 길게 형성되며, 미소균열의 국부화 동안에도 큰 균열성장을 보였다. 0.70mm/sec 균열속도의 파괴저항은 152.4mm의 균열성장 이후에 평균 파괴에너지율의 약 70%인 143N/m의 비교적 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 55mm/sec 균열속도는 254mm 균열성장에서 최대 파괴저항 245N/m까지 증가한 후 파괴저항의 감소되어 불안정 균열성장이 발생될 수 있음을 보여준다. 55mm/sec 균열속도의 저항곡선은 TPB 실험과 유사하여, 시험편의 크기가 작거나 균열의 속도가 빠른 경우에 취성거동을 할 수 있는 것을 보여준다.

Fracture toughness of particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC was analysed theoretically. According to the suggested particle bridging model for obtaining the R-curve height, the crack extension resistance for the long crack was linearly proportional to the residual calmping stress at the interface between the second phase and the matrix. It was also a function of the particle size and the content. It was confirmed that the rising R-curve behavior of Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the tensional stress from the 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC particles was large enough to activate the spontaneous transformation of the ZrO2. The crack extension resistance due to the particle bridging mechanism did not seem to be affected much by the coupled toughening, but its resultant toughness increase could be significantly smaller due to the dependency on the matrix toughness.

Mechanical property enhancing mechanisms of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ two phase ceramic composites were studied for several compositions of different $ZrO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ ratio. Microstructural analysis of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_3$(pure) composites indicated that pre-existing microcrack due to larger $ZrO_2$ particle at grain boundary extended along alumina grain boundaries within process zone. Microcracks also nucleated when very small $ZrO_2$ particles at the grain boundaries transformed to monoclinic phase at near of main crack tip. These types of microcracks could contribute to the toughening achieved by creating additional crack surface area during crack propagation. Microstructural analyses also showed that the average grain size and abnormal grain size of $Al_2O_3$ were decreased with increasing $ZrO_2$ vol% in $Al_2O_3$ matrix. As a result it could be concluded as follows In TEX>$Al_2O_3-ZrO_3$(pure) system 1. Microcrack nucleation (stress-induced microcracking) and extension was effective mechanism for absorpiton of fracture energy 2, More narrow distribution and smaller grain size of $Al_2O_3$ due to $ZrO_2$particles mainly contributed to main-tatin the strength and hardness.

이 논문에서는 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 수정 특이-파괴진행대 이론이 제안되었다. 제안된 파괴이론의 파괴특성은 균열의 성장기준이 되는 미소균열단에서 에너지해방률과 미소균열단 뒤에 형성되는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계이다. 제안된 파괴이론에 의한 파괴에너지는 기존의 콘크리트 파괴실험 결과로부터 평가된 파괴에너지를 충분히 만족할 수 있었다. 실험자료의 분석결과는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계는 시험편의 기하학적 특성에 큰 영형을 받지 않으나, 에너지해방률의 파괴기준은 시험편의 기하학적 특성과 하중조건뿐만 아니라 균열성장길이에 영향을 받는 것을 보여준다. 25mm의 균열성장까지 일정한 값을 유지하던 에너지해방률은 균열성장에 대해 선형으로 최대 값까지 증가하였다. 충분한 크기의 시험편에서 최대 에너지해방률은 최대하중에서 발생되었으며, 최대하중 이후의 균열성장에 대해 이 값을 유지하였다. 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화는 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 에너지해방률에 의한 파괴기준의 평가는 콘크리트 파괴거동의 크기효과를 단순화하며, 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 대한 정량화에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To study the influence on fracture properties of reinforced concrete wedge splitting test specimens by the addition of reinforcement, and the restriction of steel bars on crack propagation, 7 groups reinforced concrete specimens of different reinforcement position and 1 group plain concrete specimens with the same size factors were designed and constructed for the tests. Based on the double-K fracture criterion and tests, fracture toughness calculation model which was suitable for reinforced concrete wedge splitting tensile specimens has been obtained. The results show that: the value of initial craking load Pini and unstable fracture load Pun decreases gradually with the distance of reinforcement away from specimens's top. Compared with plain concrete specimens, addition of steel bar can reduce the value of initial fracture toughness KIini, but significantly increase the value of the critical effective crack length ac and unstable fracture toughness KIun. For tensional concrete member, the effect of anti-cracking by reinforcement was mainly acted after cracking, the best function of preventing fracture initiation was when the steel bar was placed in the middle of the crack, and when the reinforcement was across the crack and located away from crack tip, it plays the best role in inhibiting the extension of crack.

Although shear reinforcement in beams typically consists of steel bars bent in the form of stirrups or hoops, the addition of deformed steel fibres to the concrete has been shown to enhance shear resistance and ductility in reinforced concrete beams. This paper presents a model that can be used to predict the shear strength of fibrous concrete rectangular members without stirrups. The model is an extension of the plasticity-based crack sliding model originally developed for plain concrete beams. The crack sliding model has been improved in order to take into account several aspects: the arch effect for deep beams, the post-cracking tensile strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete and its ability to control sliding along shear cracks, and the mitigation of the shear size effect due to presence of fibres. The results obtained by the model have been validated by a large set of experimental tests taken from literature, compared with several models proposed in literature, and numerical analyses are carried out showing the influence of fibres on the beam failure mode.
