Numerical experiments on biological interfacial layer, DEJ by finite element software ABAQUS have been conducted to study its fracture behavior including crack bridging / arresting characteristics in the model. Crack growth simulation has been carried out by numerical tool, XFEM, devoted to study cracks and discontinuities. The fracture toughness of DEJ has been estimated before and after crack bridging. The implications of bridging in numerical study of fracture behavior of DEJ-like biological interface have been discussed. It has been observed that the results provided by the numerical studies without proper accommodation of bridging phenomenon can mislead. This study can be helpful for understanding the DEJ-like biological interface in terms of its fracture toughness, an important material characteristics. This property of the material is an important measure that has to be taken care during design and manufacturing processes.

This paper presents an investigation of the ability of the scheme to simultaneously accomplish both prediction of fracture initiation and analysis of deformation in cold forged products. The Cockcroft-Latham criterion which is successfully applied to a variety of loading situations is used in the present investigation to estimate if and where surface and internal fracture occur during the deformation process. The numerical predictions and experimental results of two types of fundamental cold metal forming process taken into account are compared. Finite element simulation combined with fracture criterion has successfully predicted the site of surface or internal fracture initiation and corresponding to level of deformation observed experimentally.

본 연구는 면적 $0.293\;m^2{\sim}0.360\;m^2$의 소형표지판용 지주의 풍하중에 대한 구조적 안정성을 유지하면서도 작은 충돌에도 분리가 일어나도록 고안된 내경 6 mm의 D12 mm 중공형 인덴티드 볼트를 이용한 소형지주용 브레이크어웨이 단부장치의 구조적 안전성을 정적 전단 및 인장실험으로 입증하고 동적특성을 이해하는데 기본이 되는 인덴티드 볼트의 분리 파괴에너지를 펜듈럼 실험과 비선형 동적해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA 프로그램을 이용하여 구하고 두 가지 방법을 비교한 것이다. 인덴티드 볼트 3개로 이루어진 단부장치는 풍하중 43.1 kg$\sim$51.2 kg를 충분히 지지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 인덴티드 볼트 1개 당 파괴에너지는 펜듈럼 실험값이 163.3J, 시뮬레이션 값이 153J로 유사하게 계산되어 모델의 유효성이 확인되었다.

With the help of newly arrived technology such as PC clustering, molecular dynamics (MD) seems to be promising for large-scale materials simulations. A cost-effective cluster is set up using commodity PCs connected over Ethernet with fast switching devices and free software Linux. Executing MD simulations in the parallel sessions makes it possible to carry out large-scale materials simulations at acceptable computation time and costs. In this study, the MD computer code for fracture simulation is modified to comply with MPI (Message Passing Interface) specification, and runs on the PC cluster in parallel mode flawlessly. It is noted that PC clusters can provide a rather inexpensive high-performance computing environment comparing to supercomputers, if properly arranged.

In this work, finite element investigations were carried out to manufacture a seamless aluminum liner without crack generation using four-stage deep drawing followed by two-stage ironing process. In order to predict the crack generation during the liner manufacturing process, the Normalize Cockroft-Latham(NCL) which is one of ductile fracture criteria was adopted. In addition, the tensile tests were carried out to obtain the critical value of NCL by comparing the experimental and FE simulation results. From this, various case studies based on FE simulation were carried to obtain the optimum die designs which can prevent the crack generation during ironing processes. Finally, the aluminum liner was successfully made using obtained die designs so that requirements were met in terms of thickness and height of the liner.

Blanking is one of the most frequently used processes in sheet metal forming. In this paper, attention is paid to the blanking simulation of aluminium foil with $20{\mu}m$ thickness which is used an anode in lithium-ion polymer battery. In order to study the shearing mechanism for the metallic foil, finite element analysis with Crockroft and Latham fracture criterion was performed. The objective of the present work is to evolve a methodology to obtain the optimum punch-die clearance for a given aluminium foil by the simulation of the blanking process using a general purpose FEM code.

The aim of this study is to investigate the ductile fracture behaviour under Mode I loading using SA533B pressure vessel steel. Experiments consist of the Round Notch Bar Test (RNB), Single Edge Crack Bending Test (SECB), and V-Notch Bar Test (VNB). Results from the RNB test were used to tune the damage modelling constant. The other tests were performed to acquire the J-resistance curves and to confirm the damage constants. Microstructural observation includes the measurement of crack profile to obtain the roughness parameter. Finally, simulation using Rousellier Ductile Damage Theory (RDDT) was carried out with 4-node quadrilateral element ($L_c=0.25\;mm$). For the crack advance, the failed element removal technique was adopted with a ${\beta}$ criterion. In conclusion, the predicted simulation using RDDT showed a good agreement with the experimental results. A trial using a roughness parameter was made for a new evaluation of J-resistance curve, which is more conservative than the conventional one.

For major nuclear power plant components periodic inspections and integrity assessments are needed for the safety. But many flaws are undetectable due to sampling inspection. Probabilistic integrity assessment is applied to take into consideration of uncertainty and variance of input parameters arise due to material properties, applied load and undetectable flaws. This paper describes a Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics(PFM) analysis based on Monte Carlo(MC) algorithms. Taking important parameters as probabilistic variables such as fracture toughness, crack growth rate and flaw shape, failure probability of major nuclear power plant components is archived as a results of MC simulation. For the verification of these analysis, a comparison study of the PFM analysis using other commercial code, mathematical method is carried out and a good agreement was observed between those results.

Spot welding behavior of galvanized steel has been studied using both numerical and experimental techniques. The model that used to calculate temperature distribution within weldment is two-dimensional axis-symmetric finite difference method, and nugget sizes of specimen welded in condition of welding current and time has been estimated by experiment Results have shown that nugget sizes are increased in proportion to welding current and time, but the growth rate of nugget is decreased. Shear-tensile strength tests have shown interface fracture when welding current is 7, 9KA, welding time is 8-14cycle and 11KA, 8-10cycle respectively, but above 7, 9KA fracture shows button type. In button fracture, shear-tensile strengths have been proportional to nugget sizes.
