This study were looks at the effect of the initial cut length or stress concentration level, on the wave forms produced by crack propagation. The signals were collected, then classified visually for each type of sample. They were put into three classes according to their shapes in the time and frequency domain. Each class should domain signals which could be correlated to a certain micro-failure mechanism that occurs during the fatigue process. Classes of these signals compared, with each sample. To see if there were any classes common to the three samples. The fatigue test attempted to determine if the initial cut length has any influence on the type of signals.

Artificial graphite generally manufactured by carbonization sintering of shape-body of kneaded mixture using granular cokes as filler and pitch as binder, going through pitch impregnation process if necessary and finally applying graphitization heat treatment. Graphite materials are used for core internal structural components of the High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR) because of their excellent heat resistibility and resistance of crack progress. The HTGR has a core consisting of an array of stacked graphite fuel blocks are machined from IG-110, a high-strength, fine-grained isotropic graphite. In this study, crack stabilization and micro-structures were measured by bend strength and fracture toughness of isotropic graphite grade IG-110. It is important to the reactor designer as they may govern the life of the graphite components and hence the life of the reactor. It was resulted crack propagation, bend strength, compressive strength and micro-structures of IG-110 graphite by scanning electron microscope and universal test machine.

이 논문에서는 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 수정 특이-파괴진행대 이론이 제안되었다. 제안된 파괴이론의 파괴특성은 균열의 성장기준이 되는 미소균열단에서 에너지해방률과 미소균열단 뒤에 형성되는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계이다. 제안된 파괴이론에 의한 파괴에너지는 기존의 콘크리트 파괴실험 결과로부터 평가된 파괴에너지를 충분히 만족할 수 있었다. 실험자료의 분석결과는 파괴진행대에서 균열면 응력-변위 관계는 시험편의 기하학적 특성에 큰 영형을 받지 않으나, 에너지해방률의 파괴기준은 시험편의 기하학적 특성과 하중조건뿐만 아니라 균열성장길이에 영향을 받는 것을 보여준다. 25mm의 균열성장까지 일정한 값을 유지하던 에너지해방률은 균열성장에 대해 선형으로 최대 값까지 증가하였다. 충분한 크기의 시험편에서 최대 에너지해방률은 최대하중에서 발생되었으며, 최대하중 이후의 균열성장에 대해 이 값을 유지하였다. 균열성장에 따른 파괴기준의 변화는 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 에너지해방률에 의한 파괴기준의 평가는 콘크리트 파괴거동의 크기효과를 단순화하며, 미소균열의 성장과 국부화에 대한 정량화에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of AE activities in the crack opening and closure during the fatigue test. The laboratory experiments for various materials and test conditions were carrie out to identify AE characteristics of fatigue crack propagation. Compact tension specimens of SWS 490B and Al 7075-T6 alloy were prepared for fatigue test. AE activities were analyzed based on the phase of the loading cycle. In case of SWS 490B, the most of AE was generated when the crack began opening and the crack closed fully, whereas a few in the full opening of the crack. On the other hand, in case of Al 7075-T6, a distinct AE activity was observed during crack opening process. AE activity in the peak loading of cycle was different with each specimen. However, in the same material, AE activity was not affected by the change of cyclic frequency (0.1, 0.2, 1.0 ㎐). It was found that AE activities during crack opening and closure depend on material properties such as micro-structure, yield strength and elongation.

A finite element-based, integrated process model is presented for a three dimensional, coupled analysis of the thermal and mechanical behavior of type 304 stainless slab during hot charge rolling (HCR) and cold charge rolling (CCR) processes. The validity of the proposed model is examined through comparison with measurements. The susceptibility on micro-crack initiation or propagation due to the thermal stress in these two different process conditions was examined. The model's capability of revealing the effect of diverse process parameters is demonstrated through a series of process simulation.

Fatigue cracks in structural components are the most common cause of structural failure when exposed to fatigue loading. In this respect, fatigue crack detection and structural health assessment are very important. Currently, various smart materials are used for detecting fatigue crack and measurement of SIFs(Stress Intensity Factors). So, this paper presented a measurement of SIFs using MFC(Micro Fiber Composite) sensor which is the one of the smart material. MFC sensor is more flexible, durable and reliable than other smart materials. The SIFs of Mode I(K I) as well as Mode II(K II) based on the piezoelectric constitutive law and fracture mechanics are calculated. In this study, the SIF values measured by MFC sensors are compared with the theoretical results.

This paper discusses 2D models of beams for simulating the fracture of brittle materials. A simulation of an experiment on a concrete beam subjected to bending, in which two overlapping cracks occur, is used to study the effect of individual beam characteristics and different arrangements of the beams in the overall network mesh. It was found that any regular orientation of the beams influences the resulting crack patterns. Methods to implement a wide range of poisson's ratios are also developed, the use of the mesh to study arbitrary micro-structures is outlined. The crack pattern that are obtained with mesh are in good agreement with the experimental results. Also, numerical simulations of the tests were performed by means of a model, and non-integer dimensions were measured on the predicted mesh damage patterns.

In this study, the effect of particle size on the cracks propagation and coalescence or cracking pattern of the edge notched disc specimens are investigated. Firstly, calibration of PFC3D was performed using Brazilian experimental test output. Then micro parameters were used to build edge notched disc specimen. The horizontal wall of the assembly is let to move downward with a standard low speed of 0.016 m/s. The numerical results show that the tensile cracks are dominant failure pattern for the modeled discs. These tensile cracks initiate from the pre-existing notch tip and propagate parallel to the loading direction then interact with the upper boundary of the modeled specimen. As the size of the balls (ball diameter) decrease the number of tensile cracks increase. The tensile fracture toughness of the samples also decreases as the particle size increases. Understanding the crack propagation and crack coalescence phenomena in brittle materials such as concretes and rocks is of paramount importance in the stability analyses for engineering structures such as rock slopes, underground structures and tunneling.

집중하중을 받는 일방향 보강(singly oriented ply, SOP) 섬유 금속 적층판(fiber metal laminate, FML)의 손상 거동을 음향 방출법(acoustic emission, AE)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 섬유 방향의 영향을 연구하기 위하여 다양한 섬유 방향을 가지는 SOP FML을 제작하였으며, UTM을 이용하여 압입 하중을 가하였다. 압입 시험 시 발생하는 AE신호는 150kH의 공진 주파수를 가지는 AE센서를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 여기에서 발생된 신호를 하중-변위 선도와 비교하였다. SOP FML의 손상 과정은 균열 개시, 균열 전파, 관통에 따라 3구간으로 나누어 겼다. 균열 개시전까지의 AE 신호의 특성으로 보아 미소 균열이 시편의 하부에서 발생하고 이 균열이 시편의 두께 방향으로 전파되어 섬유 분리를 발생시키는 것으로 생각된다. 발생된 균열은 섬유 방향을 따라 성장하였으며, 이 때 60~80dB의 AE신호들이 발생되었다. 관통이 발생할 때는 80~100dB의 고진폭의 AE신호가 나타나 섬유의 파괴가 발생함을 보였으며, 섬유의 방향이 증가할수록 섬유의 파괴가 많이 발생되었다 누적 AE count선도는 FML의 압입 특성을 잘 나타내어 FML의 특성 변호 예측에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
