The effects of pre-indentation technique are presented for A12024-T3 Alclad alloy using as skin material for aircraft fuselage and wing. Indentations were applied to specimens to be placed on the presumed path of fatigue crack growth before fatigue tests. Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted on the edge cracked specimens in the L-T orientation. Test results were analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of pre-indentation with the variation of specimen's thickness, position of indentation and applied maximum stress. Fatigue crack retardation by pre-indentation is well recognized in the various conditions.

A crack emanating from an internal electrode or a conducting damage path in ferroelectric ceramic actuators is analyzed. The boundary of the domain switching zone near the edge of the internal electrode in a ceramic multilayer actuator is determined based on the nonlinear electric theory. The stress intensity factor induced by a ferroelectric domain switching under small scale conditions is numerically obtained for flaws of various sizes near the electrode edge. It is found that stress intensity factor near the crack tip depends on the material property of the electrical nonlinearity.

A coupled experimental and numerical study of shear fracture in the edge-notched beam specimens of quasi-brittle materials (concrete-like materials) are carried out using four point bending flexural tests. The crack initiation, propagation and breaking process of beam specimens are experimentally studied by producing the double inclined edge notches with different ligament angles in beams under four point bending. The effects of ligament angles on the shear fracturing path in the bridge areas of the double edge-notched beam specimens are studied. Moreover, the influence of the inclined edge notches on the shear-fracture behavior of double edge-notched beam specimens which represents a practical crack orientation is investigated. The same specimens are numerically simulated by an indirect boundary element method known as displacement discontinuity method. These numerical results are compared with the performed experimental results proving the accuracy and validity of the proposed study.

For the phase boundary crack found in the gasket made of cast austenitic stainless steel in the nuclear power plant, the oxide layers were analyzed through SEM and TEM. The results showed that cracks initiated and propagated along the austenite/δ-ferrite phase boundary, the propagation path was changed to penetrate the inside of the phase. The oxide layer located at the periphery of the crack along the phase boundary was identified as a complex multi-layered spinel structure, and Cr-rich carbides were also detected in the oxide. The cracks that propagated inside the austenite matrix were attributed to the presence of high external stresses and impurities.

Dependence of dynamic fracture path on loading velocity was observed from experimental results based on the three point bending fracture in cast iron. In this study, 3D and 2D numerical simulations are used to evaluate singular stress fields near crack tip and fracture mechanics parameters. Moving finite element technique, 2D and 3D Delauney automatic mesh generation and contact-noncontact evaluation is introduced into the numerical method. Dynamic fracture thoughness is decreased with increase of impact loading velocity. Fracture mode-ratio corresponds to initial kink angle of fracture path. The numerical result shows that the maximum hoop stress criterion cannot be applied to dynamic fracture of cast iron.

Fracture of Al2O3 tubes for different loading path under combined tension/torsion was investigated. Macroscopic directions of crack propagation agreed well with the maximum principal stress criterion, independent of the loading path. However, fracture strength from the proportional loading test($\tau$/$\sigma$= constant) showed either strengthening or weakening compared to that from uniaxial tension, depending on the ratio $\tau$/$\sigma$. The Weibull theory was capable to predict the strengthening of fracture strength in pure torsion, but not the weakening in the proportional loading condition. The strengthening or weakening of fracture strength in the proportional loading condition was explained by the effect of shear stresses in the plane of randomly oriented microdefects. Finally, a new empirical fracture criterion was proposed. This criterion is based on a mixed mode fracture criterion and experimental data for fracture of Al2O3 tubes under combined tension/torsion. The proposed fracture criterion agreed well with experimental data for both macroscopic directions of crack propagation and fracture strengths.

This study aims to examine the correlation between microstructures and the mechanical properties of two high-strength API X70 linepipe steels with different specimen directions and Moaddition. The microstructure of the Mo-added steel has an irregularly shaped AF, GB matrix with pearlite because of the relatively large deformation in the non-recrystallization temperature region, while that of the Mo-free steel shows a PF matrix with bainitic microstructure. In the Mo-added steel, the M/A (martensite-austenite) in granular bainite (GB) and pearlite act as crack initiation sites with decreased upper shelf energy and an increased ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT). Regardless of Mo addition, all of the steels demonstrate higher strength and lower elongation in the T direction than in the L direction because of the short dislocation glide path and ease of pile-up at grain boundaries. In addition, the impact test specimens with T-L direction had a lower impact absorbed energy and higher DBTT than those with the L-T direction because the former exhibit shorter unit crack path compared to the latter.

SGBEM(Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method)-FEM alternating method has been proposed by Nikishkov, Park and Atluri. In the proposed method, arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional crack problems can be solved by alternating between the crack solution in an infinite body and the finite element solution without a crack. In the previous study, the SGBEM-FEM alternating method was extended further in order to solve elastic-plastic crack problems and to obtain elastic-plastic stress fields. For the elastic-plastic analysis the algorithm developed by Nikishkov et al. is used after modification. In the algorithm, the initial stress method is used to obtain elastic-plastic stress and strain fields. In this paper, elastic-plastic J integrals for three-dimensional cracks are obtained using the method. For that purpose, accurate values of displacement gradients and stresses are necessary on an integration path. In order to improve the accuracy of stress near crack surfaces, coordinate transformation and partitioning of integration domain are used. The coordinate transformation produces a transformation Jacobian, which cancels the singularity of the integrand. Using the developed program, simple three-dimensional crack problems are solved and elastic and elastic-plastic J integrals are obtained. The obtained J integrals are compared with the values obtained using a handbook solution. It is noted that J integrals obtained from the alternating method are close to the values from the handbook.

이 논문에서는 표면으로부터 내부로 진전된 CT피로시험편의 노치 피로균열을 대상으로 회절초음파를 이용하여 균열깊이를 평가하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 그 타당성을 실험에 의해 검증하였다. 특히 균열선단 이외에 노치와 같은 또 다른 회절파 발생요소가 존재하는 상황에서 회절파 성분들을 정확하게 규명하기 위해 탐촉자 스캔에 의한 영상화 및 전파경로 분석을 실시하였다. 실험은 균열이 없는 시험편과 균열이 있는 시험편에 적용하였다. 실험 및 분석의 결과 주파수가 클수록 그리고 탐촉자의 굴절각이 클수록 정확한 측정이 가능했고, 4MHz의 $60^{\circ}-60^{\circ}$ 탐촉자 조합의 경우 오차 0.38 mm 이내로 균열깊이가 측정되었다. 제안 기법은 균열 선단부가 미세하여 회절파 세기가 미약하더라도 적용이 가능하다는 특징을 가지므로 미세 균열의 검사 및 깊이 평가에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

콘크리트의 역학적거동은 다양한 종류의 균열의 발생과 전파에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 최근 고성능 콘크리트의 개발이 이루어지면서 계면파괴와 계면역에서의 균열양상에 대한 연구가 중요한 분야로 부각되고 있다. 탄성이며 균질한 재료에 적용되는 균열전파에 대한 규준은 계면역에서 균열이 진전하는 경우는 유효하지 않으며 이 경우에는 콘크리트에서 균열전파를 예측하기 위하여 구성재료들의 파괴인성과 그들 사이 계면의 파괴인성의상대적인 크기를 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 계면균열선단에서 계면파괴역학변수인 에너지해방률과 하중위상각을 수치해석방법을 이용하여 구하는 방법과 계면에서의 균열전파의 예측을 위한 에너지해방률에 기초를 둔 파괴규준을 제안하였다. 계면역에서의 균열양상을 조사하기 위하여 계면균열을 가진 이상복합모델에 대한 실험과 수치해석연구를 수행하였으며 대체적으로 실험결과와 규준을 이용하여 예측한 결과가 서로 일치하는 결과를 얻었다.
