Since the linear elastic fracture analysis has been proved to be insufficient in predicting the failure of strain hardening materials, a number of fracture concepts have been studied which remain applicable in the presence of plasticity near a crack tip. This work thereby presents a new finite element model to predict the elastic-plastic crack-tip field and fatigue life of center-cracked panels(CCP) with ductile fracture under large-scale yielding conditions. Also, this study has been carried out to investigate the path-dependence of J-integral within the plastic zone for elastic-perfectly plastic, bilinear elastic-plastic, and nonlinear elastic-plastic materials. Based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the p-version finite element is employed to account for the accurate values of J-integral, the most dominant fracture parameter, and the shape of plastic zone near a crack tip by using the J-integral method. To predict the fatigue life, the conventional Paris law has been modified by substituting the range of J-value denoted by ${\Delta}J$ for ${\Delta}K$. The experimental fatigue test is conducted with five CCP specimens to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. It is noted that the relationship between the crack length a and ${\Delta}K$ in LEFM analysis shows a strong linearity, on the other hand, the nonlinear relationship between a and ${\Delta}J$ is detected in EPFM analysis. Therefore, this trend will be depended especially in the case of large scale yielding. The numerical results by the proposed model are compared with the theoretical solutions in literatures, experimental results, and the numerical solutions by the conventional h-version of the finite element method.

Dissimilar metal joints (DMJs) are more common in the application of piping system of many industries. A 2- D and 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out on dissimilar metal Single Edged Notch Bending (DMSENB) specimens fabricated from ferritic steel, austenitic steel and Inconel - 182 alloy to study the behavior of DMJs with constraints by using linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) principles. Studies on DMSENB specimens are conducted with respect to (i) dissimilar metal joint width (DMJW) (geometrical constraints) (5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm and 50 mm) (ii) strength mismatch (material constraints) and (iii) crack lengths (16 mm, 20 mm and 24 mm) to study the DMJ behavior. From the FEA investigation, it is observed that (i) SIF increases with increase of crack length and DMJWs (ii) significant constraint effect (geometry, crack tip and strength mismatch) is observed for DMJWs of 5 mm and 10 mm (iii) stress distribution at the interfaces of DMSENB specimen exhibits clear indication of strength mismatch (iv) 3-D FEA yields realistic behavior (v) constraint effect is found to be significant if DMJW is less than 20 mm and the ratio of specimen length to the DMJW is greater than 7.4.

In this paper, the fatigue behaviour of typical axisymmetric forward extrusion die is investigated and extrusion process is analyzed by the rigid-plastic finite element method and elasto-plastic finite element method. To approach the crack problem involving crack initiation and propagation in extrusion die, LEFM(Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics) is introduced and singular element which models stress.strain singularity in the crack tip vincity has been used to obtain an accurate stress intensityu factor values and other results. Form the displacement around the crack tip the stress intensity factor and the effective stress intensity factor at the beginning of the die inlet radius has been calculated. Applying proper fatigue crack propagation criterion such as Paris/Erdogan fatigue law to this data the angle and direction of fatigue crack growth has been simulated and these are compared with some experimental results. Using the computed crack growth rate, fatigue life of the extrusion die has been evaluated.

본 논문에서는 한 쪽 면만 복합재 패치로 보강한 알루미늄 균열평판의 피로균열 진전거동을 해석적인 방법으로 고찰하였다. 한쪽 면 보강 시, 균열선단은 비대칭성과 면 외 굽힘의 효과로 인하여 초기의 직선형태에서 경사곡선형태로 진전한다는 사실을 이전의 연구견과에서 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 정확한 피로거동을 고찰하기 위하여는 이와 같은 균열선단의 변화과정을 예측하고, 이론 해석에 반영하는 것이 필수적이라 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 균열선단 전개형상을 고려한 한쪽 면 보강시의 피로해석을 수행하기 위하여 선형탄성 파괴역학개념을 적용한 3차원 순차적 유한요소 해석기법을 적용하였는데, 이를 통하여 진전하는 균열선단 형상을 단계적, 반복적으로 추적하고 해석모델에 반영하였다. 이와 같은 해석기법을 적용함으로써 패치보강 평판의 피로수명은 물론 균열선단 진전과정도 정확히 예측할 수 있었다. 해석으로 얻어진 균열선단 진전거동 및 피로수명은 상응하는 실험결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

An analytical study was conducted to characterize the fatigue crack growth behavior of pre-cracked aluminum plates repaired with asymmetric bonded composite patch. For single-sided repairs, due to the asymmetry and the presence of out-of-plane bending, crack front shape would become skewed curvilinear started from a uniform through-crack profile, as observed from previous studies. In this study, the fatigue analysis of single-sided repairs considering crack front shape development was conducted by implementing three-dimensional successive finite element method coupled with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) concept, which enables the growing crack front to be directly traced and modeled in a step by step way. Through conducting present analysis technique, crack path of the patched plate as well as the fatigue life was evaluated with sufficient accuracy. The analytical predictions of both the crack front shape evolution and the fatigue life were in good agreement with the experimental observations.

본 연구의 목적은 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강된 시험체의 주요 파괴모드인 계면모드인 계면박리 모드에 의한 부재의 파괴를 규명하는 것이다. 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강된 손상된 보시험체의 계면박리 모드를 해석하기 위하여 선형탄성 파괴역학(LEFM)의 컴플라이언스법과 유한요소법을 사용하여 계면파괴 역학변수인 에너지해방율(strain energy release rate, G)을 고찰하였다. 손상된 단순 보시험체의 해석결과, 최대 에너지해방율($G_{max}$)은 에폭시 접착두께에 관계없이 바깥 휨균열에서 시작된 계면 전단 균열 길이가 18mm 부근에서 발생하였다. 보강보의 강도 해석결과, 극한강도 설계법에 따른 단면의 공칭 휨 강도에 대한 계면박리에 의해 부재가 파괴되는 것으로 해석되었다. 또한 적용된 접착두께 1mm~3mm는 에너지해방율에 거의 영향을 미치지 않아 계면박리의 주요 인자가 아닌 것으로 나타났다.

The reactor pressure vessel(RPV) is usually cladded with stainless steel to prevent corrosion and radiation embrittlement, and a number of subclad cracks have been found during an in-service-inspection. These subclad cracks should be assured for a safe operation under normal conditions and faulted conditions such as pressurized thermal shock(PTS). Currently available integrity assessment procedure for an RPV, ASME Code Sec. XI, are built on the basis of linear fracture mechanics (LEFM). In PTS condition, however, thermal stress and mechanical stress give rise to high tensile stress at the cladding and elastic-plastic behavior is expected in this area. Therfore, ASME Code Sec. XI is overly conservative in assessing the structural integrity under PTS condition. In this paper, the fracture parameter (stress intensity factor, K, and RT(sub)NDT) from elastic analysis using ASME Sec. XI and finite element method were validated against 3-D elastic-plastic finite element analyses. The difference between elastic and elastic-plastic analysis became significant with increasing crack depth. Therfore, it is recommended to perform elastic-plastic analysis for the accurate assessment of subclad cracks under TPS which causes plastic deformation at the cladding.

An equation of J-integral for a penny-shaped crack at the end of the fiber embedded in rubber matrix is proposed. The values of J-integral for the specimens with various crack and specimen radius are obtained by FEA(Finite Element Analysis). The dimensional analysis is applied to derive an equation of J-integral as a nonlinear elastic energy release rate. The geometry and deformation calibration function in an equation of J can be expressed in a separated form. The geometry calibration function characterizing the effects of cord and specimen size is expressed in a polynomial form of fourth order. The deformation calibration function characterizes the effect of the overall level of strain. As approaching the infinitesimal strain, the value of the deformation calibration function approaches the results of LEFM(Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics).

본 논문은 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 인성을 평가하기 위하여 비선형 파괴역학 파라메터의 하나인 J적분이 최대하중점 파괴기준이 적용될 때 휨시험으로부터 하중-처짐곡선으로부터 간편하게 사용될 수 있음을 설명하고, 강섬유로 보강된 고강도콘크리트를 대상으로 노치를 가진 휨시험편을 제작하여 3점 재하실험을 실시하고, 그것으로부터 $J_{IC}$와 선형파괴역학 파라메터인 $K_{IC}$와 $G_{IC}$를 얻고 각각을 비교 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 파괴인성을 평가하기 위해서는 $J_{IC}$가 $K_{IC}$나 $G_{IC}$보다 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 강섬유 혼입률 0.5% 이하에서는 고강도콘크리트의 인성의 증진효과가 거의 없었으나, 섬유혼입률 1.0% 이상에서는 $J_{IC}$가 뚜렸한 증가를 보이고 있어 콘크리트의 개선된 인성특성을 잘 나타내고 있었으며. $K_{IC}$나 $G_{IC}$는 그렇지 못하였다. 그러나, $J_{IC}$의 정량화에 이용하는 공시체의 크기는 $J_{IC}$의 계산에 필요한 최대강도점에서 포텐셜에너지의 변동이 적고 시험편의 취급도 간편한 공시체의 선택이 필요하며, $J_{IC}$ 의 실험적 평가에 의해서 얻어지는 결과는 최대하중점에서 얻어짐으로 인하여 최대하중점의 선정에 아주 크게 좌우되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 강섬유 보강 콘크리트와 같은 비균질(非均質) 재료(材料)의 경우에는 균열의 진전과정(進展過程)이 불규칙적이므로 균열 발생점을 바르게 찾아내는 측정기술(測定技術)과 정도상(程度上)외 문제점을 포함하여, 파괴인성에 대한 좀 더 바람직한 평가방법 등이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
