이 논문에서는 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 수정 특이-파괴진행대 이론이 제안되었다. 제안된 파괴이론의 파괴특성은 균열의 성장기준이 되는 미소균열단에서 에너지해방률과 미소균열단 뒤에 형성되는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계이다. 제안된 파괴이론에 의한 파괴에너지는 기존의 콘크리트 파괴실험 결과로부터 평가된 파괴에너지를 충분히 만족할 수 있었다. 실험자료의 분석결과는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계는 시험편의 기하학적 특성에 큰 영형을 받지 않으나, 에너지해방률의 파괴기준은 시험편의 기하학적 특성과 하중조건뿐만 아니라 균열성장길이에 영향을 받는 것을 보여준다. 25mm의 균열성장까지 일정한 값을 유지하던 에너지해방률은 균열성장에 대해 선형으로 최대 값까지 증가하였다. 충분한 크기의 시험편에서 최대 에너지해방률은 최대하중에서 발생되었으며, 최대하중 이후의 균열성장에 대해 이 값을 유지하였다. 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화는 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 에너지해방률에 의한 파괴기준의 평가는 콘크리트 파괴거동의 크기효과를 단순화하며, 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 대한 정량화에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Actual stress distributions in the nozzle of a pressure vessel may not be in plane strain condition, implying that the crack-tip constraint condition may be relaxed in the nozzle. In this paper, a methodology for evaluating the fracture toughness of the ASME Code is presented considering the relaxation of the constraint effect in the nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel. The crack-tip constraint effect is quantified by the T-stress. The equation, which represent the relation between the fracture toughness in the lower constraint condition and the plane strain fracture toughness, is derived using the T-stress. This equation is similar to the method for evaluating the fracture toughness of the Master Curve for low constraint conditions. As a result of evaluating the fracture toughness considering the constraint effect in the reactor inlet, outlet and direct injection nozzles using the proposed equation, it was confirmed that the fracture toughness in the nozzles is higher than the plane strain fracture toughness. Applying the proposed evaluation methodology, it is possible to reflect the relaxation of the constraint effect in the nozzles of the reactor pressure vessel, therefore, the safe operation area on the pressure-temperature limit curve can be prevented from being excessively limited.

The present paper deals with a theoretical study of delamination fracture in the Crack Lap Shear (CLS) functionally graded beam configuration. The basic purpose is to analyze the fracture with taking into account the material non-linearity. The mechanical behavior of CLS was described by using a non-linear stress-strain relation. It was assumed that the material is functionally graded along the beam height. The fracture was analyzed by applying the J-integral approach. The curvature and neutral axis coordinate of CLS beam were derived in order to solve analytically the J-integral. The non-linear solution of J-integral obtained was verified by analyzing the strain energy release rate with considering material non-linearity. The effects of material gradient, crack location along the beam height and material non-linearity on fracture behavior were evaluated. The J-integral non-linear solution derived is very suitable for parametric studies of longitudinal fracture in the CLS beam. The results obtained can be used to optimize the functionally graded beam structure with respect to the fracture performance. The analytical approach developed in the present paper contributes for the understanding of delamination fracture in functionally graded beams exhibiting material non-linearity.

To simplify the design and reduce the construction cost of traditional multi-girder structural systems, twin I-girder structures are widely used in many countries in recent years. Due to the concern on post-fracture redundancy, however, twin girder bridges are currently classified as fracture critical structures in AASHTO specifications for highway bridges. To investigate the after-fracture behavior of such structures, a composite steel and concrete twin girder specimen was built and an artificial fracture through the web and the bottom flange was created on one main girder. The static loading test was performed to investigate its mechanical performance after a severe fracture occurred on the main girder. Applied load and vertical displacement curves, and the applied load versus strain relationships at key sections were measured. To investigate the load distribution and transfer capacities between two steel girders, the normal strain development on crossbeams was also measured during the loading test. In addition, both shear and normal strains of studs were also measured in the loading test to explore the behavior of shear connectors in such bridges. The functions and structural performance of structural members and possible load transfer paths after main girder fractures in such bridges were also discussed. The test results indicate in this study that a typical twin I-girder can resist a general fracture on one of its two main girders. The presented results can provide references for post-fracture performance and optimization for the design of twin I-girder bridges and similar structures.

Structural integrity assessment of defected pipe is important in fitness for service evaluation and proper engineering assessment is needed to determine whether pipelines are still fit for service. This paper present a failure prediction of gas pipes made of APIl X65 steel with gouge using stress-modified true fracture strain, which is regarded as a criterion of ductile fracture. For this purpose, API X65 pipes with gouge are simulated using elastic-plastic FE analyses with the proposed ductile failure criterion and the resulting burst pressures are compared with experimental data. Agreements are quite good, which gives confidence in the use of the proposed criteria to defect assessment fer gas pipelines. Then, further extensive finite element analyses are performed to obtain the burst pressure solution of pipes with gouge as a function of defect depth, length and pipeline geometry.

The fracture behaviors of aluminum foils and sheet papers were analyzed on the basis of linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM). The fracture loads of the similarly shaped specimens were calculated by dimensional analysis. The actual fracture loads were measured using the simple tension equipment. The predicted fracture loads were compared with the experimental results.

This paper deals with the formulation and development of fracture criteria for high-strength structural members containing surface damage in the form of notches (i.e., blunt defects). The important role of the yield strength of the material and its strain hardening capacity (evaluated by means of the constitutive law or stress-strain curve) is analysed in depth by considering the fracture performance of notched samples taken from high-strength steels with different levels of cold drawing (the most heavily drawn steel being commercial prestressing steel used in prestressed concrete). The final aim of the paper is to establish fracture-based design criteria for structural members made of steels with distinct yield strength and containing very different kinds of notch-shape surface damage.

고인성 종이의 탄성-소성 파괴를 파괴역학을 이용하여 분석하였다. 탄성-소성 물질의 파괴에 있어서 균열이 언제 진행되기 시작하는지 이론적 판단 기준을 유도하고, mode I 파괴를 linear image strain analysis(LISA)로 관찰한 후, 파괴역학 변수들을 계산하였다. 크랙(crack)이 있는 물질에 외부하중이 작용할 때 변형율 에너지 발산 속도(strain energy release rate)가 그 물질이 견딜 수 있는 파괴저항(fracture resistance)에 도달하면 안정적인 파괴가 진행된다. 이를 이용하여 크랙의 초기 진행시 결점주위의 응력, 파괴저항, 크랙 진행거리, 기하인자(geometry factor) 등을 구하였다. 이 변수들은 종이의 파괴역학적 특성을 정량적으로 나타내므로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Since quasi-brittle materials like concrete show strain localization behavior accompanied by strain softening, a numerical drawback such as mesh sensitivity is appeared in the finite element analysis. In this paper, the so-called homogenized crack model which was introduced for three dimensional finite element analysis of fracture in concrete is studied for the mesh size dependence problem in fracture analysis. A homogenized crack element having a velocity discontinuity. is averaged to remove the mesh sensitivity in finite element analysis of concrete fracture. Numerical examples show that softening behavior of concrete fracture is successfully predicted without mesh sensitivity using the homogenized crack model.

Optimization of mesh discretization has been proposed to improve the accuracy of limit analysis solution of collapse load by using the Rigid Body Spring Model(R. B. S. M) under the plane strain condition. Moreover, the fracture behaviour of materials was investigated by employing the fracture mechanism of a spring connecting the triangular rigid body element. It has been clarified that the collapse load and the geometry of slip boundary for optimized mesh discretization were close to those of the slip line solution. Further, the wedge-shaped fracture of a cylinder under a lateral load and the central fracture of a strip in the drawing process were well simulated.
