  • Although detailed shell analysis is suitable to predict the ductile crack initiation life of steel members, such detailed method adds time expense and complexity. In order to simply predict the ductile crack initiation life of stiffened steel bridge piers, a total of 33 cases are simulated to carry out the parametric analyses. In the analysis, the effects of the width-to-thickness ratio, slenderness ratio, plate thickness and so on are considered. Both shell analyses and beam analyses about these 33 cases are conducted. The plastic strain and damage index obtained from shell and beam analyses are compared. The modified factor βs is determined based on the predicted results obtained from both shell and beam analyses in order to simulate the strain concentration at the base corner of the steel bridge piers. Finally, three experimental results are employed to verify the validity of the proposed method in this study.

  • A local strain approach was applied to an external single and double grooved C-shaped specimen in order to evaluate and predict the fatigue crack initiation life by using low cycle fatigue properties. The low cycle fatigue properties were determined from the strain-controlled fatigue tests using smooth cylindrical axial specimens. Fatigue crack initiation life was evaluated by a life prediction software, FALIPS, based on the local strain approach. The fatigue life was significantly influenced by the mean stress, and SWT parameter represented the fatigue life effectively. The predicted fatigue crack initiation life was then compared to the experimental fatigue life evaluated from the C-shaped fatigue test specimens. A good correlation was found between the experimental and predicted fatigue lives within factors of 2 and 4 for the single and double grooved C-shaped specimens respectively. Also, experimental fatigue life of the double grooved specimen was 10-12 times longer than that of the single grooved specimen.

  • To ensure the structural integrity of nuclear power plants, it is essential to predict the lifetime of Alloy 182 weld, which is used for welding in nuclear reactors. The lifetime of Alloy 182 weld is directly related to the crack initiation time. Owing to the large time scatter in most crack initiation tests, a probabilistic model, such as the Weibull distribution, has mainly been adopted for prediction. However, since statistically more advanced methods than current typical methods may be applied, we suggest a statistical procedure for parameter estimation of the crack initiation time of Alloy 182 weld, considering right-censored data and the covariate effect. Furthermore, we suggest a procedure for uncertainty evaluation of the estimators based on the bootstrap method. The suggested statistical procedure can be applied not only to Alloy 182 weld but also to any material degradation data set including right-censored data with covariate effect.

  • In designing, the strength of tubular joint has been an important problem for integrity of steel structures in which many tubular members are used. This paper presents the results of FEM analysis on stress concentration and fatigue crack initiation life for two types of tubular joints. One is circular and rectangular T type joints which consist of circular brace and rectangular chord. Another is circular and circular T type joints which consist of circular brace and circular chord. FEM analyses were performed under the axial load and in-plane bending moment. The fatigue crack initiation life can be estimated by using $\varepsilon$-N curve and by applying the Palmgren-Miner linear damage rule. According to the results, the stress concentration factor(SCF) of circular and rectangular joints is higher than that of circular and circular joints. The fatigue crack initiation lives of circular-circular joints and circular-rectangular joints were calculated.

  • Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCCs)는 시멘트 복합체에 혼입한 전도성 섬유로 인해 전기 전도성을 가진다. 이러한 특성은 전기적 응답 계측을 통하여 별도의 센서 설치가 필요 없는 구조물의 균열 모니터링을 가능하게 한다. 하지만 전기적 응답은 균열 발생뿐만 아니라 온도의 변화에도 민감하게 변화하기 때문에 온도 요인은 전기적 응답 계측을 통한 균열 탐지를 방해하는 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 더욱이 전기적 응답을 측정하기 위한 탐침의 개수가 증가 할수록 원하지 않은 접촉 노이즈가 발생하기 때문에 이 논문에서는 탐침의 개수를 줄이기 위해 자체적인 자가센싱 임피던스 회로를 설계하였다. FRCC의 균열 발생과 온도 변화가 임피던스에 미치는 영향성은 자가센싱 임피던스 회로를 이용해 실험적으로 측정되었으며, 실험 결과, 임피던스 응답은 균열 발생보다 온도 변화에 더 민감하게 변화됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • The initiation and propagation lives of fatigue crack were studied for spot weldments composed of cold rolled steel plates(SPC$\times$SPC) and galvanized steel plates(GA$\times$GA) using DC potential drop method(DCPDM). Through the various test results, it was known that the fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviors in all specimens could be definitely detected by DCPDM. The fatigue crack initiation life( $N_{i}$) detected by DCPDM in SPC$\times$SPC and GA$\times$GA spot weldments increased as the welding current and the nugget diameter( $N_{d}$) increased. The fatigue crack propagation life($\Delta$ $N_{f-i}$) declined as the difference of $N_{i}$ and the fatigue fracture life( $N_{f}$) also increased according to the decrease of fatigue load, $\Delta$P and the increase of nugget diameter. In the same spot weldments, the increase of nugget diameter came to increase fatigue crack propagation life owing to a decrease of stress concentration in front of nugget, especially the increasing extent for GA$\times$GA spot weldment was very high. In the welding current 6kA, $N_{f}$ for GA$\times$GA spot weldment decreased more than that of SPC$\times$SPC specimen due to zinc layer coated in steel plate and undersized nugget diameter. On the other hand, in 8kA and 10kA, the GA$\times$GA spot weldment showed higher $N_{f}$ in spite of lower $N_{i}$, than that of SPC$\times$SPC specimen except 3,000N fatigue load.ue load. load.d.

  • The fracture toughness of a hot rolled 100 mm thick SS41 steel plate was investigated for various crack ratios and thichnesses using the method of J-integral. The experiments were performed on an MTS machine and the crack initiation point was detected by using an electricl impedance method. The J-integral computed at the initiation point of the slow stable crack growth was almost constant within the range of crack ratios tested. The fracture toughness thus obtained was $J_{1c}/=27.0kgf/mm$ for specimens having fracture plane parallel to the rolling direction and 35.5kgf/mm for those perpendicular to the rolling direction. The J- integral computed at maximum load point was found to be unsuitable for fracture toughness determination, becaese of large variation depending on the crack ratio and thickness. It was also found that the slow stable crack growth increases as the thickness and/or crack ration of the specimen decrease.

  • 암석은 지질학적 생성과정으로 인해 많은 역학적 결함을 포함하고 있으며 이러한 결함 사이에는 암석 브릿지가 존재하게 된다. 이러한 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 전파 및 결합(coalescence)과정은 사면, 기초, 터널 등의 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 단축압축 하에서 균열의 형상변화에 따른 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 개시, 전파 및 결합거동 변화에 대해 알아보았다. 여산 대리석을 재료로 120$\times$60$\times$25 mm크기의 시료에 균열각도 $\alpha$, 브릿지각도 $\beta$, 균열길이 2c, 브릿지길이 2b를 변화시키면서 2개의 인공균열을 제작하였다. 하중을 가하면서 날개형 균열개시응력, 날개형 균열 전파각도, 균열결합 응력을 측정하였으며 균열결합 유형을 정리하였다. 또한, 정규화된 최대강도(normalized peak strength)를 구하여 Ashby & Hallam 모형 (1986)의 이론해와 비교, 분석 하였다.
