The mechanical properties and fatigue crack growth rate fracture toughness of permanent mould cast austempered gray cast iron(AGI) were compared to those of sand cast AGI. Specimens prepared for tensile, impact and fatigue test were austenitized at $900^{\circ}C$ and austempered at $270^{\circ}C$, $320^{\circ}C$, $370^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The strength, impact and fatigue crack propagation behavior of permanent mold cast AGI were found to be superior to those of sand cast AGI. Maximum values in tensile strength, BHN, Charpy impact energy, were obtained at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. Samely, the slowest fatigue crack growth rate was appeared at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. But ductility of AGI was not improved by permanent mould casting.

In the analysis of fatigue crack propagation behavior, the crack length is one of the most important factors. In the test of crack propagation, compliance method is widely used to detect crack length. The measurement of surface crack length is not so easy with compliance method. In this study, the image processing technique was applied to measure the surface crack length. CCD(Charge-coupled device) camera was used to observe the crack image and the computer program to detect crack length from stored crack image was developed. CCT(Center Cracked Tension) specimen was used to compare the compliance method with the image processing technique. The crack length which detected by the image processing techniques was found to be well consistent with that from the optical measurement.

항공기 터빈 디스크에 사용될 수 있는 니켈기 초내열 분말야금 합금의 피로균열진전 거동이 실제운전 환경을 고려하여 상온 및 $650^{\circ}C$에서 연구되었다. ASTM E647에서 제시하는 직류전위차법을 이용하여 실시간으로 균열의 진전을 측정하였다. 또한 피로균열진전 시험은 응력비 0.1과 0.5의 두가지 조건에서 수행되었다. 시험결과들은 응력비와 온도 조건 모두 피로균열진전 거동에 영향이 있음을 보여주었으며, 응력비와 온도가 증가함에 따라, 니켈기 초내열 분말 야금 합금의 피로균열성장 속도는 증가하게 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 니켈기 초내열 분말 야금 합금은 현재 개발 중인 소재로써 보다 정량적인 시험결과의 분석을 위해, 본 연구의 피로균열진전 시험결과와 기존에 연구된 Inconel-100 소재의 피로균열진전거동에 대한 상호 비교분석이 수행되었다. 피로균열진전 파단면의 분석은 SEM 촬영을 통하여 수행하였다.

사용 중인 항공기 구조를 모사하여 리벳구멍 주위에 피로균열이 존재하는 AA2024-T3 박판을 CFRP 복합재 패치로 접합하여 보수한 후 피로균열 성장거동을 음향방출(AE)을 측정하면서 관찰하였다. 패칭의 효과로 균열성장속도의 뚜렷한 감소와 균열이 인접한 리벳 구멍으로 전파되는 시간을 지연시키는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 패칭 후 균열성장에 의해 탐지된 신호와 패치와 알루미늄 사이의 접합계면 분리에 의한 신호의 구별 가능성을 다변량 자료분석 기법인 주성분분석을 통해 알아보았다. 그 결과 균열성장에 따른 AE신호는 계면분리에 따른 AE신호에 비해 중심주파수가 높고 작은 에너지를 가지는 반면, 계면분리 신호는 균열성장 신호에 비해 상승시간이 길고 중심주파수가 상대적으로 낮으며 비교적 큰 에너지를 가진 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 AE신호의 유형인식 방법은 AE 발생원의 위치표정 결과와 결합할 경우 패치 접합으로 보수된 구조에서의 피로균열 성장거동을 예측하는 방법으로 충분히 활용될 수 있다.

The hybrid composite material (Al/GFRP laminates) are applied to the fuselage and wing in a aircraft. Therefore, Al/GFRP laminates suffer from the cyclic bending moments. This study was to evaluate the effect of fiber stacking angle on the fatigue crack propagation and delamination behavior using the relationship between crack growth rate (da/dN) and stress intensity factor range (ΔK) in Al/GFRP laminates under cyclic bending moment. The variable delamination growth behavior in case of three different type of fiber orientations, i.e., [Al/O$_2$/Al], [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] at the interface of Al layer and glass fiber layer was measured by ultrasonic C-scan images. As results of this study, It represent that the delamination shape should turns out to have more effective characteristics on the fiber stacking angle. The extension of the delamination zone in case of [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] were not formed along the fatigue crack profile. The shape of delamination zone depend on fiber stacking angle and the variable type with the delamination contour decreased non-linearly toward the crack tip at the Al layer.

In this study, the propagation behaviour and the closure phenomena of physically small surface cracks were investigated by the techinque of the Kikukawa-unloading elastic compliance method using a back face strain gage. The surface cracks initiated and propagated from notched specimens under constant amplitude bending load. The crack shape (aspect ratio) with approximately semi-circular at the early stage was changed to semi-elliptical as the cracks grew larger. The crack depth (a) could be expressed uniquenly by the crack length (c). The dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was strongly related in the lower ${\Delta}K$ range. The deceleration of the surface crack propagation rate was prominent in lower R during the crack length was small. When the propagation rate was rearranged with the effective stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}$K_{eff} the dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was found to be diminshed. These were caused by the crack closure phenomena that was most prominent at the lower propagation rate. The mechanism of crack closure phenomena was dominated by the plasticity-induced mechanism.

During torsional fatigue of externally cracked cylindrical specimen, crack face rubbing may occur. At this time, normal contact forces arise when shear displacements cause the crack faces to be wedged open due to mismatch of the fracture surface asperities. These normal forces, in turn, generate friction force which act in opposition to the applied shear stresses and reduce the effective stress intensity factor. The premise of the proposed work is that friction and wedging can be studied by measuring the shear and normal displacement across the crack mouth. We have measured the crack mouth compliance using the new biaxial extensometer.

긴 표면균열을 갖는 알루미늄합금(A5083)의 평판을 사용하여, 균열관통후의 응력확대계수를 검토하였다. 짧은 표면균열의 관통후에 제안된 식에 의하여 긴 표면균열 관통시의 평가는 균열종횡비가 적을수록 오차가 크게 되므로, 진전거동을 정확하게 평가하기 위해서는 수정이 필요하였다. 따라서 긴 표면균열 관통시의 종횡비를 고려하여, 응력확대계수의 평가식을 수정함으로써 관통후 고정도의 해석이 가능하였다.

Fatigue tests by axial loading (R=0.1) were carried out to investigate fatigue crack growth properties of small surface cracks in mild steel at room temperature, 250.deg. C and 400.deg. C, by using flat specimens with a small artificial pit. All the data of the fatigue crack growth rate obtained in the present tests are determined as a function of the stress intensity factor range, so that the applicability of liner fracture mechanics to the fatigue crack growth of surface cracks at elevated temperatures is investigated and discussed in comparison with the data of type 304 stainless steel at room temperature and elevated temperature. The obtained results are as follows: 1) Relations of both surface fatigue crack length and its depth to cycle ratio fall within a narrow scatter band in spite of different stress levels. 2) The .DELTA. .sigma. .root. .pi. a-da/dN relation of surface fatigue crack growth at room temperature is independent of the stress level and can be plotted as a straight line at log-log diagram, but the relation at 400.deg. C depends partly on the stress level. 3) Relations of the fatigue crack growth into depth d(2b)/dN and is stress intensity factor range .DELTA. $K_{I}$, accounted for the aspect ratio variation, fall within a narrow scatter band for wide range of the applied stress levels. And .DELTA. $K_{I}$E-d(2b)/dN relations of mild steel at different stress level coincide relatively well with the data of type 304 stainless steel. 4) The value of aspect ratio obtained by a beach mark method and a temper coloring method approaches about 0.9 in common with crack growth and it is independent of stress level and temperatures. 5) The equi-crack length curve is parallel to S-N$_{f}$ curve at elevated temperatures.s.s.s.

This paper deals with the industrial problem of thermal striping damage on the French prototype fast breeder reactor, Phenix and it was studied in coordination with the research program of IAEA. The thermomechanical and fracture mechanics evaluation procedure of thermal striping damage on the tee-junction of the secondary piping using Green's function method and standard FEM is presented. The thermohydraulic(T/H) loading condition used in the present analysis is the random type thermal loads computed by T/H analysis on the turbulent mixing of the two flows with different temperatures. The thermomechanical fatigue damage was evaluated according to ASME code section 111 subsection NH. The results of the fatigue analysis showed that fatigue failure would occur at the welded joint within 90,000 hours of operation. The assessment for the fracture behavior of the welded joint showed that the crack would be initiated at an early stage in the operation. It took 42,698.9 hours for the crack to propagate up to 5 mm along the thickness direction. After then, however, the instability analysis, using tearing modulus, showed that the crack would be arrested, which was in agreement with the actual observation of the crack. An efficient analysis procedure using Green's function approach for the crack propagation problem under random type load was proposed in this study. The analysis results showed good agreement with those of the practical observations.
