In this study, to propose the prediction method of the crack growth under flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests are conducted on 2124-7851 aluminum alloy specimens. The prediction of crack growth under flight-simulation loading is performed by the stochastic crack growth model which was developed in previous study. First of all, to reduce the complex load history into a number of constant amplitude events, rainflow counting is applied to the flight-simulation loading wave. The crack growth, then, is predicted by the stochastic crack growth model that can describe the load interaction effect as well as the variability in crack growth process. The material constants required in this model are obtained from crack growth tests under constant amplitude loading and single tensile overload. The curves predicted by the proposed model well describe the crack growth behavior under flight-simulation loading and agree with experimental data. In addition, this model well predicts the variability of fatigue lives.

In this study, to investigate the effects of omitting low-amplitude cycles from a flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests are conducted on 2124-T851 aluminum alloy specimens. Three test spectra are generated by omitting small load ranges as counted by the rain-flow count method. The crack growth test results are compared with the data obtained from the flight-simulation loading. The experimental results show that omission of the load ranges below 5% of the maximum load does not significantly affect crack growth behavior, because these are below the initial stress intensity factor range. However, in the case of omitting the load ranges below 15% of the maximum load, crack growth rates decrease, and therefore crack growth curve deviates from the crack growth data under the flight-simulation loading. To optimize the load range that can be omitted, crack growth curves are simulated by the stochastic crack growth model. The prediction shows that the omission level can be extended to 8% of the maximum load and test time can be reduced by 59%.

It requires uch time and cost to obtain the fatigue crack growth life and fatigue crack growth path morphlogy from the fatigue crack growth tests. In this study, the Monte-Carlo simulation program was developed to predict the fatigue crack growth lofe and fatigue crack growth path morphology of metal matrix composites. Fatigue crack growth lives of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% $SiC_w$/Al composites were predicted by usign the Monte-Carlo Simulation. And the fatigue crack growth lives of 25% $SiC_w$/Al and Almatrix from Monte-carlo simulation were compared with fatigue life from experiments in order to verify the accuracy of Monte-Carlo Simulation program.

The evaluation of specimen thickness effect of fatigue crack growth life by the simulation of probabilistic fatigue crack growth is presented. In this paper, the material resistance to fatigue crack growth is treated as a spatial stochastic process, which varies randomly on the crack surface. Using the previous experimental data, the non-Gaussian(eventually Weibull, in this report) random fields simulation method is applied. This method is useful to estimate the probability distribution of fatigue crack growth life and the variability due to specimen thickness by simulating material resistance to fatigue crack growth along a crack path.

In this study, to investigate the effects of omitting low-amplitude cycles from a flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests were conducted on 2124-T851 aluminum alloy specimens. Three test spectra were generated by omitting small load ranges as counted by the rain-flow count method. The crack growth test results were compared with the data obtained from the flight-simulation loading. The experimental results show that the ranges equal to or smaller than 5% of the maximum load do not contribute to crack growth behavior because these are below the initial stress intensity factor range. Omitting these from the flight-simulation loading, test time can be reduced by 54%. However, in the case of omitting the load ranges below 15% of the maximum load, crack growth rates decreased, and crack growth curve deviated from the crack growth data under the flight-simulation loading because loading cycles above fatigue fracture toughness were omitted.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 미국 북부 이차 활엽수림지역의 2개 임분을 대상으로 노숙림 발달과정을 평가하였다. 한 임분(phelps)은 77년생 임목들이 대부분 차지하고 있는 동령임분이고, 다른 임분(Wildcat Creek)은 노숙림의 구조적 특정을 다소 갖고 있는 연령이 많은 임목들이 있는 이령임분이다. 각 임분은 노숙림 자연발달 과정을 평가하기 위하여 임분구조, 직경분포, 고사목의 크기분포, 임분의 숨틈(Gap)크기, 3차원 임분공간도 및 수관투영도와 같은 구조적 특정을 이용하여 실시하였다. 본 시뮬레이션에 의하면, Phelps 임분은 현재를 기준으로 74년 후에, Wildcat Creek 임분은 13년 후에 노숙림 초기단계에 각각 도달하였다. 45년 시뮬레이션 동안 두 임분의 흉고직경분포는 직경크기가 커짐에 따라 모두 넓고, 평평한 형태를 나타냈으며, 고사목 크기분포에서는 두 임분 모두 직경크기가 커짐에 따라 고사목 수가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. Phelps의 숲틈 크기는 시뮬레이션 초기 연도보다 45년 후에 작게 나타난 반면, Wildcat Creek의 숲틈은 시뮬레이션 동안 일정한 패턴을 보였고, 큰 나무들의 고사로 인하여 큰 숲틈이 형성되었다.

구조물의 파괴는 주로 제조 과정에서 생긴 결함이나 사용 중 국부적인 손상의 원인으로 발생되는 균열에 의해 나타난다. 따라서 구조물이나 관련된 부품들의 균열 성장 과정을 분석하는 것은 구조물의 안정성 확보를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 균열의 성장을 분석하기 위해 노치가 있는 시편을 인장 실험하며, 마이크로 포커스 X-선 단층촬영을 이용하여 균열 성장을 관찰하였고, 노치가 있는 시편의 단층촬영의 영상으로부터 3 차원 재구축하여 만든 유한요소 모델과 이상적인 모양의 노치를 만든 유한요소 모델을 XFEM에 적용하여 3 차원 균열 성장의 시뮬레이션을 실시 하였다. 실제 시편의 인장 실험 결과와 시뮬레이션 실험들의 결과를 비교하였고, 보다 정밀한 3 차원적 균열 성장의 분석을 위해서는 실제적인 구조물 및 균열의 형태에 대한 3 차원 모델링이 반드시 실시되어야 함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out to study the behavior of growth and coalescence of multi-surface cracks which were initiated at the semi-circular surface notches, and a simulation program was developed to predict their growth and coalescence behavior. By comparing the experimental result with those of the simulation based on SPC(surface point connection), ASME and BSI(British Standards Institution) conditions, we tried to enhance the reliance and integrity of structures. This shows that the simulation result has utility for fatigue life prediction.

Estimating the high tuber solids needs a simulation system on potato growth, and its development should be obtained by using agricultural elements which analyze the relationship between crop growth and agricultural factors. An accurate simulation to predict solids level against climatic change employs a calculation of in vivo energy consumption and bias for growth and induction shape in a slight environmental adaptation. So, to calculate in vivo energy consumption, this study took a concept of estimate of the amount of basal metabolism in each tuber. In the validation experiments, the results of measuring solid accumulation of potatoes harvested at dates suggested by simulation agreed with the actual measured values in each regional field during the growth period of years from 2006 till 2010. The mean values of tuber solids level and inter-annual level variation in validation experiments were predicted well by the simulation model. And also, the results of validation experiments represent that concentration of tuber solids were due mainly to the duration of sunshine, above 190 hours per a month, and the cumulative amount of radiation, above 2,200 $MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$, of the effective growth period.

Computer simulation of microstructure evolution during hot forging process is of great interest in recent years. Recrystallization model and grain growth model which use a phenomenological approach were summarized. The upsetting and cogging processes of waspaloy were simulated using $DEFORM^{TM}$ and the change in grain size were investigated in each deformation procedure.
