The reliable stress intensity factor analysis is required for fracture mechanics design or safety evaluation of mechanical joints at which cracks often initiate and grow. It has been reported that cracks in mechanical joints usually nucleate as corner cracks at the faying surface of joints and grow as elliptical arc through cracks. In this paper, three dimensional finite element analyses are performed for elliptical arc through cracks in mechanical joints. Thereafter stress intensity factors along elliptical crack front including two surface points are determined by the virtual crack closure technique. Virtual crack closure technique is a method to calculate stress intensity factor using the finite element analysis and can be applied to non-orthogonal mesh. As a result, the effects of clearance on the stress intensity factor are investigated and crack shape are then predicted.

The behavior of corner crack propagation by unidirectional plane bending fatigue was investigated in the butt welded joints of SS41 and SM50 steel plates including an edge through-thickness notch. The properties of fatigue crack propagation were inspected in the weld metal, heat-affected zone, and base metal of the welded joints. Main results obtained are as follows; (1) When a plate with an edge through-thickness notch is loaded by plane bending fatigue in indirection, the 2 variant corner cracks on the upper and lower edge of the plate are initiated and propagated respectively from the notch. (2) In case of a specimen containing a corner crack, it is more reasonable to estimate the crack propagation rate by area of fracture surface than by crack surface length. (3) The rate of fatigue crack propagation becomes faster in the following order; weld metal, heat-affected zone, and base metal. (4) The specimen including reinforcement shape is rapidly failed throughout bond due to effect of its shape when the repeated load exceeds a certain cycle.

Creep crack growth lift of high temperature pressure equipments was assessed for various crack locations and for various material properties. Surface cracks at the inner and outer surface of the vessel in the axial and circumferential directions were considered. The crack was located in the weld metal, in the parent metal or at the weld interface. Results shored that the crack at the weld interface was the most dangerous one. The crack located outside is weaker than that located inside. Safety factors of the case in which improper material properties were used the to unavailability of the correct material properties were discussed.

A seam carving based micro-crack detection method is proposed which aims at detecting the micro-crack regions in heterogeneously textured surface of polycrystalline solar cells. By calculating the seam which is a connected path of low energy pixels in the image, the micro-crack regions can be detected. Experimental results show that the proposed seam carving based micro-crack detection method has superior efficiency in detecting the micro-crack without background noise pixels and the algorithm's computation time is less than the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, crack propagation analyses in the inner diameter (ID) repair weld of the dissimilar metal weldment of a nozzle were performed using a finite element alternating method (FEAM). To calculate the theoretical solution for the crack tip stress intensity factor, a weak type singular integral equation consisted of crack surface traction and dislocation density function was constructed and solved in conjunction with the FEAM. A two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element nozzle model was prepared and ID repair welding was simulated. An initial crack, 10% depth of weld thickness, was assumed and crack propagation trajectory from the initial crack to the 75% depth of thickness was calculated using the FEAM. Crack growth versus time curve was also calculated and compared with the curves obtained from ASME code method. With the method constructed in this paper, crack propagation trajectory and crack growth time were calculated automatically and effectively.

It is required to evaluate nondestructively depth of surface-breaking cracks in structures. In this paper, the self-compensated technique by laser-based ultrasound is used to measure the depth of surface-breaking defect. Optical generation of ultrasound produces a well defined pulse with reliable frequency content. It is broad banded and suitable for measurement of attenuation and scattering over a wide frequency range. The self-calibrated signal transmission data of surface wave shows good sensitivity as a practical tool far assessment of surface-breaking defect depth. It is suggested that the relationship between the signal transmission and crack depth can be used to predict the surface-breaking crack depths in structures.

In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out at stress test levels of 461 MPa, 441 MPa, and 431 MPa by using smooth specimen of$2_{1/4}$ Cr-1 Mo steel with the stress ratio(R) of 0.05. The initiation, growth and coalescense process of the major cracks and sub-cracks among the fatigue cracks on the smooth specimen are investigated and measured under each stress level at a constant cycle ratio by the replica technique with optical microscope. Some of the important results are as follows: In spite of the difference of stress levels, the major crack data gather into a small band in the curve of surface crack length and crack depth against cycle ratio N/Nf. The sub-crack data, however, deviate from the band of the major crack. The growth rates, da/dN, of major and sub-crack plotted against the stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$, have the tendency to be compressed on a relatively small band. But it is more effective to predict fatigue life through major cracks. The propagation behavior of surface microcracks on the smooth specimens coincides with that of the specimen having an artificial small surface defect or through crack.

균열 자기치유 소재는 균열발생 시점부터 노출환경 조건에 따라 활성화되기 때문에 치유성능과 균열면의 노출환경 조건과의 관계 규명이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자기치유형 보수 모르타르의 치유성능에 노출환경 조건이 미치는 영향을 투수시험을 통하여 조사하였다. 균열시험체의 초기 균열폭에 대한 온도 및 습도의 영향을 조사한 결과, 양생온도의 영향은 미미하였으나, 건습변화에 의해서는 균열닫힘 현상이 발생하고 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 자기치유형 보수 모르타르 시험체의 균열부위에서 생성된 치유물질은 calcite 광물로 확인되었다. 밀도가 높은 calcite 광물은 중력의 영향을 받아 침강하기 때문에, 균열면의 방향에 따라 치유성능에 다소 차이를 나타냈으며, 또한 대기노출 조건보다 습윤노출 조건에서 치유성능이 크게 향상되었다.

본 연구에서는 접초피로에 있어서 균열의 발생, 진전 등의 관찰을 위해, 균열의 발생, 진전 등이 2차원적으로 되어 시험편측면에서 관찰이 가능한 평판 ring형 시험편을 이용하여 반복수 증대에 따른 균열의 발생, 진전과정을 조사하였다. 그 결과 pitting, flaking형 파손의 초기손상은 접촉면하의 내부에 생기는 접촉면에 평행방향의 균열에 의해 일어나며, 이 균열은 그 방향 밀 파면형태에 의해 접촉응력이 접촉면에 평행방향의 전단응력성분에 의한 모드 ll 피로진전과의 차는 중첩부하된 압축응력의 유무라고 생각되며, 이 가저에 근거로 하여 재료고유의 모드 ll 피로균열진전특성을 구할 수 있는 장치를 개발하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 알루미륨합금 및 공구강에 대한 da/dN-${\Delta}k$ ll 관계의 시험결과를 얻었다.
