In this paper, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was measured by variation of crack length for double-cantilever beam(DCB) specimen. The energy release rate, G, was obtained by the experimental measurement of compliance. The experimental results represents that the crack length for the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and energy release rate is increases proportionally From the experimental results, we proposed a detecting method of the crack length by the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and discussed it.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity examination of the J-R curve characteristics for the nuclear reactor pressure vessel steels and Al alloys by the load ratio analysis. The results of the load ratio analysis are compared with those of the J-R curve which are obtained by the ASTM unloading compliance method. The crack length calculated by the load ratio analysis is agree well with the measured final crack length. The slope of the exponential J-R curve estimated by the load ratio analysis is slightly smaller than that by the ASTM unloading compliance method. The J-R curve obtained by the ASTM unloading compliance method is over-predicted and should be offsetted due to the initial negative crack. On the other hand, the load ratio analysis method can evaluate the J-R curve by only load-displacement curve without particular crack measurement equipment.

In fatigue life prediction, it is important that fatigue life is affected by crack closure phenomenon in thin sheet Al alloy. In this research, we attempt to (1)analyze the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation in constant loading condition for thin sheet Al 2024-T3 alloy which is generally used in transportation structures, (2)identify the crack closure phenomenon in thin sheet comparing experimental results of thin and thick sheet specimen under same fatigue loading condition. In using the fatigue related material constants from these fatigue crack propagation analysis, we attempt to (3)operate the fatigue life estimating process with considering crack closure phenomenon and (4)analyze the experimental and prediction results of fatigue life in thin sheet Al alloy.

현장에서 콘크리트 구조물의 균열 깊이를 추정하기 위한 자기 보정 표면파 투과 측정과 측정된 투과 함수의 차단주파수를 이용하는 기존의 방법은 측정 조건에 따른 투과 함수의 변동성이 매우 커서 실제로 적용하기가 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 차단주파수와 같이 특정 주파수를 선정하여 균열 깊이를 추정하는 방법 대신에 측정된 자기 보정 표면파 투과 함수 자체를 균열 깊이 추정에 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 다양한 균열 깊이에서 측정된 자기 보정 표면파 투과 함수를 주성분 분석법을 이용하여 차원을 축소한 후, 축소된 투과 함수를 인공신경망의 입력으로 사용하여 이로부터 균열 깊이를 추정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 한편, 제안된 방법의 유효성을 판단하기 위하여 서로 다른 균열 깊이를 가진 5개의 실험체에 대하여 실험적인 연구를 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 제안된 방법이 콘크리트 구조물이 균열 질이 평가에 매우 유효한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

Methods for determination of the crack opening stress intensity factor ($K_{op}$) and for estimation of the effective stress intensity factor range ($\Delta{K}_{eff}$) are evaluated for crack growth test data of aluminum alloys. Three methods of determining $K_{op}$, visual measurement, ASTM offset compliance method, and the neural network method proposed by Kang and Song, and three methods of estimating $\Delta{K}_{eff}$, conventional, the 2/PIO and 2/PI methods proposed by Donald and Paris, are compared in a quantitative manner by using evaluation criteria. For all $K_{op}$ determination methods discussed, the 2/PI method of estimating $\Delta{K}_{eff}$ provides good results. The neural network method of determining $K_{op}$ provides good correlation of crack growth data. It is recommended to use 2/PI estimation with the neural $K_{op}$ determination method. The ASTM offset method used in conjunction with 2/PI estimation shows a possibility of successful application. It is desired to improve the ASTM method.

최근 노후 건물에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 구조물의 해체 방법에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 시공사례는 한남동 단국대학교 캠퍼스 내에 위치한 중앙도서관 건물을 대상으로 하였다. 발파해체공법은 Professive Collapse(점진적 붕괴) 공법을 적용하였다. 발파해체 주 발파 층은 2층, 4층, 보조 발파 층은 1층으로 선정하였다. 진동측정결과 가장 근거리(약 150m)에서 측정된 진동은 0.0302cm/sec (PPV기준)이었고 사전에 설치한 크랙게이지 측정값에서는 변화가 없었다.

A method is proposed to evaluate the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve only with load displacement records without the crack length measurement in CT specimen. This method is based on the idea that the effect of plastic deformation and the crack growth can be measured only by using a load-displacement record. If we know the reference-load curve representing the hardening of specimen, then the crack extension can be calculated by the elastic compliance determined from the load ratio. The results of this proposed method were compared to those of the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve for the ASTM standard unloading compliance method. The experimental results for two kinds of ductile materials showed that the proposed method well simulates the material J-R curves. This method is currently applied for CT specimens. but it can be extended to the other specimen geometries.

Cracking may be used to help predict the cause of deterioration of concrete, since in many cases characteristic cracking patterns are produced. The purpose of this paper is an analysis of the crack cause occurred in concrete faced rockfill dams. We analyzed the concrete placement methods, cracking pattern, the inspection of crack depth by the ultrasonic pulse velocity method, and the measurement of heat of hydration, environmental condition, and so on. In this study, the crack cause of concrete faced rockfill dam is the wrong method of concrete placement, high temperature difference by cement of heat of hydration and concrete of drying shrinkage.

The aim of this paper is to describe an advanced method of the fault diagnosis using Control Theory with reference to a crack detection, a new way to localize the crack position under influence of the plant disturbance and white measurement noise on a rotating shaft. As the first step, the shaft is physically modelled with a finite element method as usual and the dynamic mathematical model is derived from it using the Hamilton-principle and in this way the system is modelled by various subsystems. The equations of motions with a crack are established by the adaption of the local stiffness change through breathing and gaping[1] from the crack to the equation of motion with an undamaged shaft. This is supposed to be regarded as a reference system for the given system. Based on the fictitious model of the time behaviour induced from vibration phenomena measured at the bearings, a nonlinear state observer is designed in order to detect the crack on the shaft. This is the elementary NL-observer(EOB). Using the elementary observer, an Estimator(Observer Bank) is established and arranged at the certain position on the shaft. In case, a crack is found and its position is known, the procedure, fro the estimation of the depth is going to begin.

In this study, a new damage identification method for beam-like structures with a fatigue crack is proposed. which does not require comparative measurement on an intact structure but require several measurements at different level of excitation forces on the cracked structure. The idea comes from the fact that dynamic behavior of a structure with a fatigue crack changes with the level of the excitation force. The 2$^{nd}$ spatial derivatives of frequency response functions along the longitudinal direction of a beam are used as the sensitive indicator of crack existence. Then, weighting function is employed in the averaging process in frequency domain to account for the modal participation of the differences between the dynamic behavior of a beam with a fatigue crack at the low excitation and one at the high excitation. Subsequently, a damage index is defined such that the location and level of the crack may be identified. It is shown from the analysis of vibration measurements in this study that comparison of frequency response characteristics of a beam with a single fatigue crack at different level of excitation forces enables an effective detection of the crack.
