In this study, shearography and ESPI have been used for quantitative analysis of an inside crack of pipeline and both of them appeared suitable to qualitatively detect inside crack. However, shearography needs several effective factors including the amount of shearing, shearing direction and induced load for the quantitative evaluation of the inside crack. In this study, the factors were optimized for the quantitative analysis and the site of cracks has been determined. Although the effective factors in shearography has been optimized, it is difficult to determine the factors exactly because they are related to the details of tracks. On the other hand, ESPI is independent on the details of a crack and only the induced load plays an important role. The out-of-plane displacement was measured under the optimized load and the measured were numerically differentiated, which resulted in an equivalent to the shearogram. The size of cracks can be determined quantitatively without any detail of a crack.

기계 혹은 구조물의 파손 및 파괴는 소재의 내부에 존재하는 결함에서 발생하는 크랙에 의한 것이다. 이러한 크랙들은 밀집하여 존재하는 경우가 많기 때문에 크랙의 진전 및 성장특성들을 고려하지 않으면 안 된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 표준 CT 시험편 내부의 크랙 및 구멍의 위치에 따른 파괴특성을 고찰하였으며, 표준CT 시험편에 편심된 집중하중을 가하였을 때, 시험편 내 크랙 주변의 구멍의 존재유무 및 위치에 따른 파괴역학적 거동에 대하여 규명하였다. 연구 결과로서 Model 3(크랙 주변에 구멍이 한 개 존재하는 시험편 모델로서 크랙의 끝부분과 구멍 간의 거리 가로방향으로 2mm의 경우)가 최대 변형량, 최대 응력 및 최대 변형 에너지, 모두 가장 크게 나타났으며, 모든 시험편 모델들이 시험편 내부의 크랙과 구멍의 거리가 가까울수록 최대 응력이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 또한 구멍의 개수와는 별개로 시험편 내부의 크랙 가까이에 구멍이 존재할 때 크랙 가까이에서 최대 응력은 커지는 경향이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 본 연구 결과를 토대로 기계 혹은 기계 구조물 내부에 구멍을 뚫는다면, 시험편에 발생하는 파괴 응력의 값을 줄임으로써 파손이나 고장이 일어나는 것을 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This is a study of fatigue strength of weld deposits with transverse cracks in plate up to 50 mm thick. It is concerned with the fatigue properties of welds already with transverse cracks. A previous study of transverse crack occurrence, location and microstructure in accordance with welding conditions was published in the Welding Journal (Lee et al., 1998). A fatigue crack develops as a result of stress concentration and extends with each load cycle until fatigue occurs, or until the cyclic loads are transferred to redundant members. The fatigue performance of a member is more dependent on the localized state of stress than the static strength of the base metal or the weld metal. Fatigue specimens were machined to have transverse cracks located on the surface and inside the specimen. Evaluation of fatigue strength depending on location of transverse cracks was then performed. When transverse cracks were propagated in a quarter-or half-circle shape, the specimen broke at low cycle in the presence of a surface crack. However, when the crack was inside the specimen, it propagated in a circular or elliptical shape and the specimen showed high fatigue strength, enough to reach the fatigue limit within tolerance of design stresses.

Delaminations and cracks are common failures in structures. They may significantly reduce the stiffness of the structure and affect their vibration characteristics. In the present study, an analytical solution is developed to study the effect of an edge crack on the vibration characteristics of delaminated beams. The rotational spring model, the 'free mode' and 'constrained mode' assumptions in delamination vibration are adopted. This is the first study on how an edge crack affects the vibration characteristic of delaminated beams and new nondimensional parameters are developed accordingly. The crack may occur inside or outside the delaminated area and both cases are studied. Results show that the effect of delamination length and thickness-wise location on reducing the natural frequencies is aggravated by an increasing crack depth. The location of the crack also influences the effect of delamination, but such influence is different between crack occurring inside and outside the delaminated area. The difference of natural frequencies between 'free mode' and 'constrained mode' increases then decreases as the crack moves from one side of the delaminated region to the other side, peaking at the middle. The analytical results of this study can serve as the benchmark for FEM and other numerical solutions.

Alloy 600/182 with excellent mechanical/chemical properties have been utilized for nuclear power plants. Although both alloys are known to have superior corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking failure has been an issue in primary water environment of nuclear power plants. Therefore, primary water stress corrosion crack (PWSCC) growth rate tests were conducted to investigate crack growth properties of Alloy 600/182. To investigate PWSCC growth rate, test facilities including water chemistry loop, autoclave, and loading system were constructed. In PWSCC crack growth rate tests, half compact-tension specimens were manufactured. These specimens were then placed inside of the autoclave connected to the loop to provide primary water environment. Tested conditions were set at temperature of $360^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 20MPa. Real time crack growth rates of specimens inside the autoclave were measured by Direct Current potential drop (DCPD) method. To confirm inter-granular (IG) crack as a characteristic of PWSCC, fracture surfaces of tested specimens were observed by SEM. Finally, crack growth rate was derived in a specific stress intensity factor (K) range and similarity with overseas database was identified.

The stress corrosion crack growth is simulated assuming a small axial surface crack inside a S/G tube. Internal pressure and residual stresses are considered as applied forces. Stress intensity factors along crack front, variation of crack shape and crack growth rate are obtained and discussed. It is noted that the aspect ratio of the crack is not depend on the initial crack shape but depend on the residual stress distribution.

A probabilistic structural integrity assessment is performed for a reactor pressure vessel under PTS(Pressurized Thermal Shock). A semi-elliptical finite axial crack is assumed to he in the beltline region(either base metal or weld meta)1 of the reactor vessel inside surface. The selected random variables are initial crack depth, neutron fluence on the vessel inside surface, copper, nickel, and phosphorus content of the vessel material, and RT/sub NDT/. The probabilities of crack initiation or vessel failure where the crack is propagated through vessel wall are calculated. The probabilities obtained with random crack size are compared to these obtained with deterministic us. Since the failure function cannot to explicitly by selected by selected random variables, Monte Carlo Simulation is applied to perform probabilistic analysis The influence of the amount of neutron fluence is also examined to assess the structural reliability for vessel life time.

Crack behaviors at the downstream face of the concrete gravity dam were studied considering influence of the wintertime air temperature. It is assumed that inside area of 15m away from the dam surface in which temperature is presumed to be $15^{\circ}C$ is not affected from the annual air temperature variation. Water temperature at the upstream face and air temperature at the other faces were considered as outer boundary conditions to get temperature distribution inside of the dam using ADINA-T. These temperature distributions were transferred to FRANC2D to obtain equivalent stress intensity factors and crack propagation paths. Results obtained from changing initial crack locations and direction, air temperatures, and water levels were discussed. And crack behaviors at the upstream face were studied partly.

Cracks are inherent to concrete by its nature. The various size and shape of cracks induce deterioration of reinforced concrete structures including nuclear power plants. The wider and deeper the crack is, the concrete structures are more vulnerable to carbonization. Thus, it is essential to develop a reliable measurement technique of cracks inside concrete. In this study, an ultrasonic test method is applied to the crack measurements. The results can be used for evaluation of existing reinforced concrete structures.
