The present article showcases a temperature dependent cohesive zone model (CZM)-based fi nite element simulation of drop weight tear test (DWTT), to analyse fracture behavior of pipeline steel (PS) at different temperatures. By co-relating the key CZM parameters with known mechanical properties of PS at varying temperature, a temperature dependent CZM for PS is proposed. A modified form of Johnson and Cook model has been used for the true stress-strain behavior of PS. The numerical model, using Abaqus/CAE 6.13, has been validated by comparing the predicted results with load-displacement curves obtained from test data. During steady-state crack propagation, toughness parameters (such as CTOA and CTOD) were found to remain fairly constant at a given temperature. These toughness parameters, however, show an exponential increase with increase in temperature. The present paper offers a plausible approach to numerically analyze fracture behavior of PS at varying temperature using a temperature dependent CZM.

The 3-way valve have been used as a valve for opening and closing the valve by the flow control in the pressure system of the cryogenic and high pressure environment. In this paper, numerical analysis and experimental study on fracture nipple of 3-way ultra high pressure valve applied to space launch vehicle was carried out. We have developed a 3-way valve numerical simulation modeler of cryogenic environment using commercial software ANSYS 18.2. As results of numerical analysis, optimum nipple condition was derived. In addition, a 3-way valve prototype was fabricated and the fracture test was performed and compared with the numerical analysis results.

In this paper, a hybrid scaled boundary finite element and finite volume method (SBFEM-FVM) is proposed for simulating hydraulic-fracture propagation in brittle concrete materials. As a semi-analytical method, the scaled boundary finite element method is introduced for modelling concrete crack propagation under both an external force and water pressure. The finite volume method is employed to model the water within the crack and consider the relationship between the water pressure and the crack opening distance. The cohesive crack model is used to analyse the non-linear fracture process zone. The numerical results are compared with experimental data, indicating that the F-CMOD curves and water pressure changes under different loading conditions are approximately the same. Different types of water pressure distributions are also studied with the proposed coupled model, and the results show that the internal water pressure distribution has an important influence on crack propagation.

An extended study was conducted on the fracture criterion by Choung et al. (2011; 2012) and Choung and Nam (2013), and the results are presented in two parts. The theoretical background of the fracture and the results of new experimental studies were reported in Part I, and three-dimensional fracture surface formulations and verifications are reported in Part II. How the corrected true stress can be processed from the extrapolated true stress is first introduced. Numerical simulations using the corrected true stress were conducted for pure shear, shear-tension, and pure compression tests. The numerical results perfectly coincided with test results, except for the pure shear simulations, where volume locking appeared to prevent a load reduction. The average stress triaxialities, average normalized lode parameters, and equivalent plastic strain at fracture initiation were extracted from numerical simulations to formulate a new three-dimensional fracture strain surface. A series of extra tests with asymmetric notch specimens was performed to check the validity of the newly developed fracture strain surface. Then, a new user-subroutine was developed to calculate and transfer the two fracture parameters to commercial finite element code. Simulation results based on the user-subroutine were in good agreement with the test results.

인장시험을 유한요소 시뮬레이션하여 등가응력-등가소성변형률 곡선, 임계 등가응력과 임계 등가소성변형률을 결정하였다. 그리고, 이 곡선을 입력하여 파괴시험을 유한요소 시뮬레이션하여 평면변형률 파괴인성치를 결정하여 보려고 하였다. 균열선단절점에서 등가소성변형률이 임계 등가소성변형률에 도달할 때 균열개구변위를 임계 균열개구변위로 취하여 균열성장조건으로 사용되었다. 임계 등가소성변형률이나 단면감소율과 파괴시험 임계 균열개구변위와 관련성을 찾아보고, 임계 등가응력과 임계 등가소성변형률을 동시에 적용하여 파괴시험 파괴인성치와의 관련성도 찾아보았다.

The two, NBD and SCB tests using gypsum circular discs each containing a single notch have been experimentally accomplished in a rock mechanics laboratory. These specimens have also been numerically modelled by a two-dimensional particle flow which is based on Discrete Element Method (DEM). Each testing specimen had a thickness of 5 cm with 10 cm in diameter. The specimens' lengths varied as 2, 3, and 4 cm; and the specimens' notch angles varied as 0°, 45° and 90°. Similar semi-circular gypsum specimens were also prepared each contained one edge notch with angles 0° or 45°. The uniaxial testing machine was used to perform the experimental tests for both NBD and SCB gypsum specimens. At the same time, the numerical simulation of these tests were performed by PFC2D. The experimental results showed that the failure mechanism of rocks is mainly affected by the orientations of joints with respect to the loading directions. The failure mechanism and fracturing patterns of the gypsum specimens are directly related to the final failure loading. It has been shown that the number of induced tensile cracks showing the specimens' tensile behavior, and increases by decreasing the length and angle of joints. It should be noted that the fracture toughness of rocks' specimens obtained by NBD tests was higher than that of the SCB tests. The fracture toughness of rocks usually increases with the increasing of joints' angles but increasing the joints' lengths do not change the fracture toughness. The numerical solutions and the experimental results for both NDB and SCB tests give nearly similar fracture patterns during the loading process.

The social activities of the elderly have been increasing as our society progresses toward an aging society. As their activities are increased, the occurrence of falls that could lead to fractures are increased. Falls are serious health hazards to the elderly and we need more thorough understanding of falls including the progress of falls and the impact area in various fall directions. Many of the traditional methods of falls research dealt with voluntary falls by younger subject since older subject can easily get fracture from voluntary falls. So, it has been difficult to get exact data about falls of the elderly. Here, we tried to capture the characteristics of the movements of major joints using three dimensional motion capture system during falls experiments using a moving mattress that can safely induce unexpected falls. Healthy younger subjects participated in the actual falls experiment and the moving mattress was actuated by a pneumatic system. The kinematic parameters such as velocities of major segments were imported to a computer simulation environment and falls to hard surfaces were simulated in a computational environment using a realistic human model of aged persons. The simulation was able to give approximations to contact forces which can occur during actual falls. And we designed impact absorption system to reduce the impact during falls. We can adapt this system to fracture prevention system that we are going to study.

분자 동역학 기법을 사용한 재료 파괴 시뮬레이션은 계산량의 방대함으로 인하여 극히 최근까지 활발한 연구가 진행되지 못하였으나 최근 컴퓨터의 성능향상으로 인하여 새로운 연구분야로 떠오르고 있다. 분자 동역학은 그 특성상 계산 집약적인 환경을 요구함으로 대규모의 연산을 위해서는 슈퍼컴퓨터나 클러스터(cluster)의 사용이 필수적이나 고가의 장비와 사용료로 인하여 많은 제한을 받아왔다. 본 연구에서는 PC를 사용하여 클러스터를 제작하고, 균열이 있는 시편을 사용하여 파괴현상에 대한 분자 수준의 거동을 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 클러스터의 노드(node) 수, 효율, 분자 수, 노드간의 통신시간 등의 상호관계를 파악하여 최적의 성능을 가진 클러스터를 구성하는 데 필요한 요소들을 분석하였다. 제작된 PC 클러스터를 사용하여 약 50,000개의 분자를 사용한 재료 파괴 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

단일절리에서 2상유체의 거동을 모의하기 위해 개발된 수치모형의 검증을 위해서 상대투과계수 특성식을 수치모형에 적용하여 가스와 물의 동시거동을 해석한 후, 수치모의 결과를 모형실험결과와 비교하였다. 절리면의 거칠기와 간극의 크기에 댸한 민감도 분석을 실시한 결과, 가스의 이동속도는 절리면의 거칠기와 반비례하였으며, 절리간극의 크기와는 상대투과계수 특성식의 영향으로 단상유체의 흐름에서와 같은 간극크기의 제곱에 비례하는 향상은 보이지 않았다. 수치모형의 현장적용성을 검토하기 위해서 지하 LPG 저장기지에 모형을 적용한 결과, 저장공동에 인접한 단일절리에서의 운영압의 동적변동에 따른 지하수와 프로판가스의 동시거동을 모사할 수 있었다. 절리면이 매끈하고 간극이 작아질수록 운영압과 지하수압의 조절로는 누출된 가스의 이동제어가 불가능해지는 것으로 나타났다.
