In the process of integrity evaluation for nuclear power plant components, a series of fracture mechanics evaluation on surface cracks in reactor pressure vessel(RPV) must be conducted. These fracture mechanics evaluations are based on stress intensity factor, K. However, under pressurized thermal shock(PTS) conditions, the combination of thermal and mechanical stress by steep temperature gradient and internal pressure causes considerably high tensile stress at the inside of RPV wall. Besides, the internal pressure during the normal operation produces high tensile stress at the RPV wall. As a result cracks on inner surface of RPVs may experience elastic-plastic behavior which can be explained with J-integral. In such a case, however, J-integral may possibly lose its validity due to constraint effect. In this paper, in order to verify the suitability of J-integral, two dimensional finite element analyses were applied for various surface crack. Total of 18 crack geometries were analyzed, and Q stresses were obtained by comparing resulting HRR stress distribution with corresponding actual stress distributions. In conclusion, HRR stress fields were found to overestimate the actual crack-tin stress field due to constraint effect.

In such a case, however, J-integral may possibly lose its validity due to constraint effect. In this paper, in order to verify the suitability of J-integral, tow dimensional finite element analyses were applied for various surface cracks. A total of 18 crack geometries were analyzed, and $\Omega$ stresses were obtained by comparing resulting HRR stress distribution with corresponding actual stress distributions. In conclusion, HRR stress fields were found to overestimate the actual crack-tip stress field due to constraint effect.

An experimental method to measure Q-parameter in-situ is described. The basic idea comes from the fact that the side necking near a crack tip indicates the loss of stress triaxiality, which can be scaled by Q. From the out-of-plane displacement and the in-plane strain near the surface of side necking, stress field averaged through the thickness is calculated and then Q is determined from the difference between the stress field and the HRR field corresponding to the identical J-integral. To prove the validity, three-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed for a CT configuration with side-groove. Q-value which was calculated directly from the near-tip stress field is compared with that determined by simulating the experimental procedure according to the proposed method, that is, the Q-value determined from the lateral displacement and the inplane strain. Also, the effect of location where the displacement and strain are measured is explored.

The higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach was employed to investigate the crack-tip stress of two collinear cracks in a power-law creeping material under the plane strain conditions. A comprehensive calculation was made of the single crack, collinear crack model with S/a = 0.4 and 0.8, by using the C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach, HRR-type field and the finite element analysis; the latter two methods were used to check the constraint significance and the calculation accuracy of the C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach, respectively. With increasing the creep time, the constraint $A_2$ was exponentially increased in the small-scale creep stage, while no discernible dependency of the constraint $A_2$ on the creep time was found at the extensive creep state. In addition, the creep time and the mechanical loads have no distinct influence on accuracy of the results obtained from the higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach. In comparison with the HRR-type field, the higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ solution matches well with the finite element results for the collinear crack model.

본 논문에서는 휜 광폭평판의 두께와 폭, 균열길이 그리고 가공경화지수의 변화가 휜 광폭평판의 균열부 구속상태에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 5가지의 휜 광폭평판 두께, 3가지의 균열길이, 3가지의 휜 광폭평판 폭 그리고 3가지의 가공경화지수를 고려한 3차원 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. Ramberg-Osgood 관계식을 만족하는 비선형 재료로 가정하였으며 균열부 구속상태를 정량화하기 위해서 Q-응력을 이용하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석 결과를 바탕으로 기하학적 형상 및 재료특성에 따른 휜 광폭평판의 Q-응력 변화를 평가하였다. 평가 결과 면외 구속조건에 의한 영향은 면내 구속조건과 밀접한 관계가 있었으며, 면외 구속조건이 면내 구속조건 보다 균열부 구속상태에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다.

In order to obtain more realistic fracture resistance curve, research is currently underway to introduce new parameter and to quantify the constraint effect. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the constraint effect of a size(plane size and thickness) and the fracture resistance curve. In this paper fracture toughness tests were performed with various plane size and various thickness of specimens in two materials. The test results showed that the effects of plane size in th4 J-R curve were significant and the curve was risen with an increase in plane size. However, relatively weak influence was observed form the change of the specimen thickness and size. The stress fields near the crack tip of th specimen is close to the HRR field according to increasing the plane size and Q stress appears different value according to material properties and the plane size.

본 논문에서는 건강한 성인 26명(남자 14명, 여자 12명)을 대상으로 기계승마의 적용을 통한 심폐기능의 변화 및 그에 따른 운동 강도를 정량적으로 측정하여, 기계식 승마 치료의 임상 적용가능성과 유효성을 추정하였다. 기계승마 장비인 JOBA(R)(Panasonic Electric Works, Osaka, Japan)을 이용하였고, 운동의 강도는 level 2 (0.73 Hz)에서 4 (0.9 Hz), 6 (1.03 Hz), 8 (1.2 Hz), 9 (1.3 Hz)까지 증가시키고, 각각의 level에서 3분간 유지하였다. 운동 중 참여자의 심폐 반응은 호흡가스분석 시스템(TruOne 2400, Parvo Medics, USA)과 운동부하검사 시스템(Q Stress, Cardiac Science, USA)을 이용하여 심박수, 혈압, 최대산소소모량(VO2max)을 측정하였다. 또한 기계승마를 통해 유발되는 유산소 운동 강도를 평가하기 위해 대사당량(MET)을 측정하고, 예비심박수율(%HRR), 최대심박수율(%peak HR)과 칼로리소모량을 계산하였다. 그 결과는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용해 분석하였으며, 건강한 성인에서 간단한 사전 교육 후 15분간의 JOBA(R)를 이용한 기계식 승마 치료시 증등도의 운동 강도에 도달할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.
