In this paper, as elastic-plastic fracture toughness test under mixed mode loading was proposed using a single edge-cracked specimen subjected to bending moment(M), shearing force(F), and twisting moment(T). The J-integral of a crack in the specimen is expressed in the form J=$J_I$+ $J_II$$J_III$, where $J_I$, $J_II$ and $J_III$ are the components of mode I, mode II and mode III deformation, respectively. $J_I$, $J_II$ and $J_III$ can be estimated from M-$\theta$ ($\theta$;crack opening angle), F-U(U; crack shear displacement) and T-$\alpha$ ($\alpha$;crack twisting angle). In order to obtain the the M<-TEX>$\theta$, F-U and T-$\alpha$ diagram inreal time, a new deformaiton gage for mixed mode loading was proposed using the optical position sensing device(PSD). The elastic-plastic fracture toughness test was carried out with an aluminum alloy. The loading apparatus was designed and manufactured for this experiment. For the loading condition of the crack initatio in the mixed mode, the MMT -3(mode I+ mode II+ mode III) has the lowest values out of the all specimens. This implies that MMT-3 is possible of the crackinitation at lower load, if the specimen acts on together with the torque under the same loading condition. An elastic-plastic fracture toughness test using the PSD brings a successful experimentation in measuring the crack deformation(mode I+ mode II+ mode III).

단층 그래핀 시트(Single layer graphene sheet, SLGS)의 찢어짐 모드(모드 III) 파괴 예측을 위한 원자 기반 미세결합요소모델이 개발되었다. 이 모델은 그래핀 시트의 최대 변형률 관계를 예측하기 위해 수정된 모스포텐셜을 사용한다. 면외 전단하중 조건에서 그래핀의 모드 III 파괴를 광범위한 분자역학(Molecular mechanics, MM) 시뮬레이션으로 조사하였다. 분자역학은 원자의 균열선단 근처 원자의 변위를 설명하기 위해 사용되었고, 선형탄성파괴역학은 이 영역 바깥의 영역을 설명하기 위해 사용되었다. 해석 결과 분자역학 방법이 SLGS의 전단 물성 계산뿐만 아니라 armchair 및 zigzag 방향 모드 III 파괴인성 연구에도 단순하면서도 신뢰할만하다는 것을 보여준다. SLGS 의 모드 III 파괴인성은 zigzag 방향에 대해 $0.86MPa{\sqrt{m}}$, armchair 방향에 대해 $0.93MPa{\sqrt{m}}$로 예측되었다.

The structural integrity of welded joints in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is directly related to the safety of nuclear power plants. The RPV is made from SA508-III steel in a pressurized water reactor. In this study, we investigated the effects of temperature on the tensile and fracture toughness properties of Chinese SA508-III welded joint in different sampling areas in order to provide reference data for structural integrity assessments of RPVs. The specimens used in tensile and fracture toughness tests were fabricated from the base metal (BM), weld metal (WM), and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the welded joint. The representative testing temperatures included the ambient temperature (20 ℃), upper shelf temperature (100 ℃), and service temperature (320 ℃). The results showed that temperature greatly affected the fracture toughness (JIC) values for the SA508-III welded joint. The JIC values for BM and HAZ both decreased remarkably from 20 ℃ to 320 ℃. The fracture morphologies showed that the BM and HAZ in the welded joint exhibited fully ductile fracture at 20 ℃, whereas partial cleavage fracture was mixed in ductile fracture mode at 100 ℃ and 320 ℃. The WM exhibited the ductile and cleavage fracture mixed mode at various temperatures, and the JIC values showed slight changes.

This paper describes laboratory tests carried out to evaluate the influence of class F fly ash (FA) on fracture toughness of plain concretes, specified at the third model fracture. Composites with the additives of: 0%, 20% and 30% siliceous FA were analysed. Fracture toughness tests were performed on axial torsional machine MTS 809 Axial/Torsional Test System, using the cylindrical specimens with dimensions of 150/300 mm, having an initial circumferential notch made in the half-height of cylinders. The studies examined effect of FA additive on the critical stress intensity factor $K_{IIIc}$. In order to determine the fracture toughness $K_{IIIc}$ a special device was manufactured.The analysis of the results revealed that a 20% FA additive causes increase in $K_{IIIc}$, while a 30% FA additive causes decrease in fracture toughness. Furthermore, it was observed that the results obtained during fracture toughness tests are convergent with the values of the compression strength tests.

In the present study, the fracture toughness of U-shaped notches made of aluminum alloy Al7075-T6 under combined tension/out-of-plane shear loading conditions (mixed mode I/III) is studied by theoretical and experimental methods. In the experimental part, U-notched test samples are loaded using a previously developed fixture under mixed mode I/III loading and their load-carrying capacity (LCC) is measured. Then, due to the presence of considerable plasticity in the notch vicinity at crack initiation instance, using the Equivalent Material Concept (EMC) and with the help of the point stress (PS) and mean stress (MS) brittle failure criteria, the LCC of the tested samples is predicted theoretically. The EMC equates a ductile material with a virtual brittle material in order to avoid performing elastic-plastic analysis. Because of the very good match between the EMC-PS and EMC-MS combined criteria with the experimental results, the use of the combination of the criteria with EMC is recommended for designing U-notched aluminum plates in engineering structures. Meanwhile, because of nearly the same accuracy of the two criteria and the simplicity of the PS criterion relations, the use of EMC-PS failure model in design of notched Al7075-T6 components is superior to the EMC-MS criterion.

본 연구에서는 접착제로 체결된 구조물의 접착 조인트에서의 파괴인성을 조사하기 위하여 알루미늄 폼으로 제작한 Mode III 형 DCB 시험편들에 대하여 정적 해석 및 실험을 수행하였다. 정적 해석에서의 경우, 각 시험편 모델들은 강제 변위가 약 5 mm 진행되었을 때 최대 반력을 보였으며, 이 때 각 시험편 모델들의 최대 반력은 두께가 35 mm인 모델이 약 0.25 kN, 두께가 45 mm인 모델이 약 0.28 kN, 두께가 55 mm인 모델이 약 0.5 kN으로 나타났다. 이 해석 결과들을 입증하기 위하여 정적 실험의 경우에서 두 개의 시험편들을 택하였다. 정적 실험에서의 경우, 각 시험편들은 강제 변위가 약 5~6 mm 진행되었을 때 최대 반력을 보였으며, 각 시험편들의 최대 반력은 두께가 35 mm인 시험편이 약 0.22 kN, 두께가 45 mm인 시험편이 약 0.3 kN으로 나타났다. 도출된 결과값들을 비교하였을 때 해석과 실험의 데이터들 간에 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 별도의 실험과정 없이 해석을 통해서도 그 연구 데이터들을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, Mode III 형 DCB 접합구조물에서의 기계적 특성들을 체계적으로 분석할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Effect of Al2O3 addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Ce-TZP were studied. 12, 14, 16Ce-TZP containing 0-40wt% Al2O3 were prepared by sintering at 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h. in air. Density, linear shrinkage, bending strength, Vickers hardness, microstructuer and the amount of stress induced phase transformation were examined. Vickers hardness increased linearly with increasing amounts of Al2O3. The amount of transformation and fracture toughness decreased linearly with increasing amount of Al2O3. Linear shrinkage and relative density decreased with increasing Al2O3 content in all composition of Ce-TZP. Grain growth of Ce-TZP was inhibited by Al2O3 dispersion and fracture mode of Ce-TZP/Al2O3 composites transformed from intergranular to transgranular fracture as the amount of Al2O3 increased. TEM observation revealed that Al2O3 particles were located mainly at grain boundaries of ZrO2.

A crack in a ferroelectric ceramic subjected to an electric field is analyzed. The boundary of the electrical saturation zone is estimated based on the finite-width saturation zone model, which is analogous to a finite-width Dugdale zone model for mode III. It is shown that the shape and size of the switching zone depends strongly on the boundary of the electrical saturation zone and the ratio of the coercive electric field to the yield electric field. The crack tip stress intensity factor under small scale conditions is evaluated by employing the model of electric nonlinear domain switching. It is found that fracture toughness of the ferroelectric material may be increased or decreased depending on the material property of electrical nonlinearity.

섬유금속적층판과 같은 하이브리드 소재는 여러 방향의 하중에 의한 접착층의 파괴로 인해 층간분리가 발생할 수 있다. 모든 하중은 수직 방향의 응력과 면내 두 방향의 전단 응력으로 분해할 수 있으며, 이러한 하중은 접착층의 모드 I, II, III 파괴를 일으킨다. 따라서 하중에 의한 층간분리 현상을 예측하기 위해, 접착층의 모드별 임계 에너지 해방률을 도출하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 접착층의 모드 I 임계 에너지 해방률을 측정하기 위해 double cantilever beam 시험을 수행하였으며, 모드 II 임계 에너지 해방률을 측정하기 위해 end-notched flexure 시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 실험으로부터 도출한 임계 에너지 해방률을 ABAQUS의 응집영역모델에 적용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 실제 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 층간분리 현상에 대한 수치해석 기법 적용의 유효성을 입증하였다.
