Fracture toughness JIC and KIC tests were performed on A516 Gr70 carbon steel plate at the temperature ranging from -$160^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$, and test results were analyzed according to ASTM E 813 and ASTM E 399. Unloading compliance J-integral tests were performed on 1TCT specimens. The relation between the $J_{IC}$ value and the test temperature was obtained. It was concluded that the temperature ranging from $-15^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ is the upper shelf region of ductile-brittle transition temperature, and in this temperature range, fracture toughness $J_{IC}$ values decreased with increasing temperature. The ductile brittle transition temperature of the material may be around $-30^{\circ}C$. In the region near $-30^{\circ}C$, the tendency of $J_{IC}$ to decrease with decreasing temperature was significant.

Many researchers presented a probabilistic and statistical property of the material strength. However, the study on probabilistic and statistical property of fatigue fracture toughness has not been nearly presented. Major objectives in this paper are to compare the statistical test results of fatigue fracture toughness with those obtained in the tensile experiments, and to recognize the size effect for the probabilistic and statistical property by using specimens with various thickness.

As the huge energy transfer systems like as nuclear power plant and steam power plant are operated for a long time at a high temperature, mechanical properties are changed and ductile-brittle transition temperature is raised by degradation. So it is required to estimate degradation in order to assess the safety, remaining life and further operation parameters. The sub-sized specimen test method using surveillance specimen was developed for evaluating the integrity of metallic components. In this study, we would like to present the evaluation technique of the ductile-brittle transition temperature by the sub-sized specimen test. The four classes of the thermally aged 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. The tensile test and fracture toughness test were performed. The results of the fracture toughness tests using the sub-sized specimens were compared with the evaluation technique of the ductile-brittle transition temperature.

This investigation evaluates effects of notch depth, fatigue precrack length and side groove in impact specimen for estimation of a valid K1d by instrumented Charpy impact test. Specimen material is 6005-T6. for notch depth 2.0mm and 2.5mm specimens or within about 2mm fatigue precrack length with notch depth 2.0mm and 2.5mm specimens or within about 2mm fatigue precrack length with notch depth 2.0mm , dynamic fracture toughness [$K_{1d,(1)}$] obtained by crack initiation load($P_m$) should be used. Dynamic fracture toughness of side grooved specimens are overestimated to that of standard impact specimen about 15 %-20%. It is confirmed that the formula of dynamic fracture toughness obtained by impact absorbed energy is inappropriate for ductile materials.

Among severe plastic deformation methods, groove pressing is one of the prominent techniques for producing ultra-fine grained sheet materials. This process consists of imposing repetitive severe plastic deformation on the plate or sheet metals through alternate pressing. In the current study, a 2 mm pure Cu sheet has been subjected to repetitive shear deformation up to two passes. Hardness and tensile yield and ultimate stress were obtained after groove pressing. Fracture toughness tests have been performed and compared for three conditions of sheet material namely as received (initial annealed state), after one and two passes of groove pressing. Results of experiments indicate that a decrease in the values of fracture toughness attains as the number of constrained groove pressing (CGP) passes increase.

Recently, the steel parts used for automobiles and trains are required to be used under higher stress than ever before in need of the weight down. In this study, high strength and superior toughness spring steels as the suspension material, used for automobile and railroad industries were utilized to carry out the following in vestigations; 1) To evaluate the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation, the experiments of fatigue crack growth were respectively carried out at the room temperature(RT), $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$ 2) Peening and unpeening materials at the each temperature were investigated for the effect on fracture toughness by compressive residual stress generated from the shot peeing.

We combined Field-Activated Combustion Synthesis(FACS) with mechanical pressure to produce dense WC-20 vol.%Co composite in one step. The hardness, the fracture toughness and the relative density of the dense WC-20 vol.%Co were investigated. Under the application of 60 MPa pressure and 3000A current on the reactants, the relative density of WC-20 vol.%Co composite was 99.4%. The fracture toughness and hardness were $9.4 MPa.m^{1/2}$ and $1672kg\textrm{mm}^2$ respectively. The fracture toughness and hardness of WC-20 vol.%Co composite produced by FAPACS were lower than that of nanostructured composite, but similar to commercial ones. Therefore we concluded that the FAPACS method which can produce WC-20 vol.%Co within several minutes in one step is superior to conventional ones.

Fracture toughness({TEX}$J_{IC}${/TEX}) on 304 austenitic stainless steel weldments artificially degraded for long period under SCC environments were evaluated to investigate its reliability and environmental characteristics. Electro-chemical polarization tests were previously carried out to evaluate corrosion susceptiblility of weldment, and stress corrosion cracking was tested under various conditions of 3.5wt.% NaCl solution, the temperature of $25^{\circ}$C and $95^{\circ}$C, and oxygen concentration during 3000hours. From the results obtained, it was found that 304 stainless steel weldment was so susceptible under high temperature and high oxygen concentration of 3.5wt.% NaCl solution, and fracture toughness({TEX}$J_{IC}${/TEX}) was also considerably reduced by material degradation.

다층구조 고분자 재료의 비결정성 영역에서의 파괴 역학 변형과정을 통하여 ductile 및 brittle층을 동시에 함유하는 다층 구조 가공물을 이용하여 단층 구조물과의 물성을 비교, 조사하였다. 그 결과 거의 유사한 유리 전이온도($T_g$) 및 동일한 dimension에서 다층 구조물의 충격강도가 단일층 구조물보다 현격히 높게 나타났으며, toughness는 약 2배 이상 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 ductile층과 brittle층의 두께 비에는 임계값이 있으며, 그 이하에서는 brittle한 재료이더라도 ductile하게 나타날 수 있다는 toughening 원리가 본 실험의 측정 속도 영역 및 온도 범위에서 적용되고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 고속 균열이 진행하는 경우의 운동 응력(kinetic stress wave) 효과를 해석하기 위하여 충격파동 중첩의 원리(superposition principle of impact pulse)를 도입하였다. 그 결과 다층 구조물의 최종 toughness 향상은 ductile/brittle 비율의 최적설계에 있음을 알 수 있었다.
