Recently structural damage has been frequently observed in reinforced concrete bridges due to repeted ioads such as vehicular traffic and due to continual overloads by heavy trucks. Therefore. In this study, the static tests and the fatigue tests were performed on a series of SFRC(steel fibrous reinforced concrete) to investigate the fatigue behavior of SFRC varying with the steel fibrous contents. Through this test, the diagonal cracking loads, ultimate loads, deflections, strains of concrete and steel. On this basis, the crack growth and failure of SFRC beams were studied, and a model for S-N relationship of SFRC was proposed.

Recently a new version of PRO-LOCA program was released. Using the program, failure probability of pipes can be evaluated considering fatigue and/or stress corrosion crack growth and the effects of various parameters on the integrity of pipes in nuclear power plants can be evaluated quantitatively. The analysis results can be used to establish an inspection plan and to examine the effects of important parameters in a maintenance plan. In this study, sensitivity analyses were performed using the program for several important parameters including sampling method, initial crack size, number of initial fabrication flaws, operation temperature, inspection interval, operation temperature and nominal applied bending stress. The effect of parameters on the leak and rupture probability of pipes was evaluated due to fatigue or stress corrosion crack growth.

Fatigue crack growth test or low alloy steel was performed in high temperature water. Test parameters were dissolved oxygen content. loading frequency and R-ratio ($P_{min}/P_{max}$). Since the sulfur content or the steel was low, there were no environmentally assisted cracks (EAC) in low dissolved oxygen(DO) water. At high DO, the crack growth rate at R = 0.5 tests was much increased due to environmental effects and the crack growth rate depended on loading frequency and maximized at a critical frequency. On the other hand, R = 0.7 test results showed an anomalous decrease of the crack growth rate as much different behavior from the R = 0.5. The main reason of the decrease may be related to the crack tip closure effect. All the data could be qualitatively understood by effects of oxide rupture and anion activity at crack tip.

원전의 구조적 건전성에 문제가 될 수 있는, 오스테나이트계 합금의 환경조장균열(EAC)에 대한 거동을 실험적인 결과와 문헌 조사를 통해 분석하였다. 일차측 환경에서 주기적인 반복하중을 받을 때에는 기계적인 피로균열에 더해 수소유기균열이나 동적변형시효 등으로 인한 가속화 메커니즘을 통해 피로수명 감소가 나타났다. 따라서 EAF에 대한 저항성은 전반적인 부식저항성이 우수한 니켈기합금이 스테인리스강보다 크게 나타났다. 그러나 일정한 하중을 받을 때에는 내부산화에 의해 국부적인 취약부인 입계로의 빠른 균열의 생성과 진전이 나타나 일차수 응력부식균열(PWSCC)이라는 형태로 발생한다고 여겨진다. 이때는 니켈-크롬의 비율이 내부산화 저항성에 영향을 미쳐, 비율이 낮은 스테인리스강은 높은 저항성을 가지고, 비율이 높은 니켈기합금은 낮은 저항성을 가진다. 그러나 아직 이러한 균열 메커니즘에 대한 명확한 이해가 부족하므로, 명확히 규명하기 위해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

A newly developed method based on energy is presented to study the damage pattern of FRP material. Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is employed to monitor the damage under fatigue loading. In this study, acoustic emission technique (AE) combined with scanning electronic microscope (SEM) technique is employed to monitor the damage evolution of the BFRP specimen in an approximate continuous scanning way. The AE signals are analyzed based on the wavelet transform, and the analyses are confirmed by SEM images. Several damage patterns of BFRP material, such as matrix cracking, delamination, fiber fracture and their combinations, are identified through the experiment. According to the results, the cumulative energy (obtained from wavelet coefficients) of various damage patterns are closely related to the damage evolution of the BFRP specimens during the entire fatigue tests. It has been found that the proposed technique can effectively distinguish different damage patterns of FRP materials and describe the fatigue damage evolution.

The grain size effect on grain boyndary cracking in Pb-Sn eutectic during isothermal fatigue was investigated. Fatigue experiments were confined to two conditions : (1) 0.4% total strain range(approximetely 0.2% plastic strain range), 1.67$\times$10$^{-3}$/s frequency; and (2) 1.5% total strain rante(approximately 1.2% plastic strain range), 8.33$\times$10$^{-4}$/s frequency. Fatigue specimens were cross-sectioned to monitor the depth of crack growth continuosly and then, the maximum crack depths in units of the number of boundaries were plotted as functions of number of cycles for these two different strain ranges. The results revealed that the rate of crack growth(per cycle at fixed rate of crosshead motion) can be expressed as dc/dN=($\Delta$$\varepsilon$$_p$)$^n$c where n is typically 2, c is the crack length, $\Delta$$\varepsilon$$_p$ is the plastic strain range, and A is a "constant" that depends on whether the crack is deeper or shallower than its first triple point of the grain boundary, A decrdases by about a factor of three after the crack hits the first triple point, indecating that the fatigue crack is trapped at the triple point of the grain boundaries.

Nickel base Alloy X-750, which is used as fastener parts in light-water reactor (LWR), has experienced many failures by environmentally assisted cracking (EAC). In order to improve the reliability of passive components for nuclear power plants (NPP's), it is necessary to study the failure mechanism and to predict crack growth behavior by developing a probabilistic failure model. In this study, The Bayesian inference was employed to reduce the uncertainties contained in EAC modeling parameters that have been established from experiments with Alloy X-750. Corrosion fatigue crack growth rate model (FCGR) was developed by fitting into Paris' Law of measured data from the several fatigue tests conducted either in constant load or constant ΔK mode. These parameters characterizing the corrosion fatigue crack growth behavior of X-750 were successfully updated to reduce the uncertainty in the model by using the Bayesian inference method. It is demonstrated that probabilistic failure models for passive components can be developed by updating a laboratory model with field-inspection data, when crack growth rates (CGRs) are low and multiple inspections can be made prior to the component failure.

탄소섬유강화 복합재료는 금속재료에 비하여 높은 비강성과 비강도 등의 우수한 기계적 성질을 나타내고 있으며, 이러한 이유로 최근 경량화가 요구되는 항공기용 재료와 자동차용 재료 등으로 그 사용이 급격히 증가하여 금속재를 대체하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 기계구조물에서는 반복하중에 의한 피로 파손이 주로 발생하고 있다. 그러므로 섬유강화 복합재를 사용한 기계구조물의 내구성을 확보하기 위해서는 이에 대한 피로 해석 및 내구성 평가가 필요하다. 따라서 피로 손상 모델을 이용하여 피로 시험으로부터 구한 손상량을 이용하여 피로손상 누적곡선을 획득하고 해석하였다.

In this study, the microstructural characteristics of a high-speed-extruded Mg-5Bi-3Al (BA53) alloy and its tensile, compressive, and high-cycle fatigue properties are investigated. The BA53 alloy is successfully extruded at a die-exit speed of 16.6 m/min without any hot cracking using a large-scale extruder for mass production. The homogenized BA53 billet has a large grain size of ~900 ㎛ and it contains fine and coarse Mg₃Bi₂ particles. The extruded BA53 alloy has a fully recrystallized microstructure with an average grain size of 33.8 ㎛ owing to the occurrence of complete dynamic recrystallization during high-speed extrusion. In addition, the extruded BA53 alloy contains numerous fine lath-type Mg₃Bi₂ particles, which are formed through static precipitation during air cooling after exiting the extrusion die. The extruded BA53 alloy has a high tensile yield strength of 175.1 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 244.4 MPa, which are mainly attributed to the relative fine grain size and numerous fine particles. The compressive yield strength (93.4 MPa) of the extruded BA53 alloy is lower than its tensile yield strength, resulting in a tension-compression yield asymmetry of 0.53. High-cycle fatigue test results reveal that the extruded BA53 alloy has a fatigue strength of 110 MPa and fatigue cracks initiate at the surface of fatigue test specimens, indicating that the Mg₃Bi₂ particles do not act as fatigue crack initiation sites. Furthermore, the extruded BA53 alloy exhibits a higher fatigue ratio of 0.45 than other commercial extruded Mg-Al-Zn-based alloys.

신뢰성이 가장 우수한 프레팅 피로손상 파라미터를 찾아내기 위해 알루미늄 합금 A7075-T6 을 대상으로 피로시험을 수행하였다. 시편 표면에 홈을 가공하여 패드 접촉압력에 따라 패드-시편 접촉면에서 프레팅 피로균열이 발생하거나 또는 홈에서 일반 피로균열이 발생할 수 있게 하였다. 광학현미경을 이용하여 균열의 발생위치와 방향을 측정하고, 문헌에서 가장 많이 사용되는 프레팅 피로손상 파라미터들의 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 파라미터 값과 최대손상평면 방향을 산출하는데 필요한 응력과 변형률 자료는 유한요소해석으로 산출하였다. 전단모드 피로파손을 가정하는 Fatemi-Socie 파라 미터와 McDiarmid 파라미터가 가장 신뢰성이 높은 것으로 판명되었다.
