In this paper, in order to evaluate the deformation characteristics of the hydrogen gas storage vessel(Type 1) when considering gas pressure, the VMS generated in the hydrogen gas storage vessel according to the notch shape of ISO 18119 was interpreted as a FEM(Finite Element Method). According to the analysis results, the maximum VMS generated in the longitudinal notch was higher than the transverse notch. In addition, the stress of the storage vessel was analyzed by the stress ratio, which is the yield strength ratio of the material to the VMS generated. According to the analysis results, in the case of a storage vessel with a notch formed in the longitudinal direction, the inside and outside of the storage vessel increased to 0.85 and 0.50 at a gas pressure of 50 MPa, respectively, but were analyzed to be lower than 1.

This study deals with numerical determination of stress intensity factors of adhesively patch-repaired plates with cracks at V-shaped or semicircular notches. The p-convergent anisoparametric model are considered and then three-dimensional virtual crack closure technique is presented using formulations of anisoparametric elements. In assumed displacement fields of an element, strain-displacement relations and three-dimensional constitutive equations are derived with three-dimensional hierarchical shape functions expanded from one-dimensional Lobatto functions. Transfinite mapping technique is used to represent a circular boundary. The present model provides accuracy and simplicity in terms of stress concentration factor, stress distribution, the number of degrees of freedom, and non-dimensional stress intensity factor as compared with previous works in literatures. Stress intensity factors obtained by the three-dimensional virtual crack closure technique are estimated with respect to the variation of width of finite plate, radius of notch root, angular inclination of V-shaped notch, and crack length.

The dynamic photoelastic technique had been utilized to investigate the possibillity of relieving the large local singular stresses induced at the corner of a right- angle- indenter. The indenter compressed a semi-infinite body dynamically with an impact load applied on the top of the indenter. The effects of the geometric changes of the indenter in terms of the diameter (d) and the location (1) of the stress relieving notch on the behavior of the dynamic contact stresses were investigated. The influence of stress relieving notches positioned along the edge of the semi-infinite body on the dynamic contact stresses were also studied by changing the diameter (D) and the location (L) of the notch. A multi-speak-high speed camera with twelve sparks were used to take photographs of full field dynamic isochromatic fringe patterns. The contact singular stresses were found to be released significantly by the stress relief notches both along the indenter and the edge of the semi-infinite body. The optimal position and geometry of the stress relieving notches were obtained with the aid of limited experimental results.

It is investigated that in what shape the stress concentration factor of a notched strip under pure bending changes due to unsymmetrically varying notch angle. Four models made of CR-39, having parameters of r/d-0.225, h/r=4; r/d=0.225, h/r=2; r/d=0.4, h/r=4 and r/d=0.4, h/r=2 respectively as shown in Fig.1, Fig.2 and Table are tested with the use of polariscope. For each model, notch angle is unsymmetrically varied from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ at intervals of $15^{\circ}$ as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The results of this experiment are Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 and the following are deduced. As notch angle increases 1) from $0^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$, the decrement of concentration factor is slight. 2) from $50^{\circ}$ to 90, the decrement of concentration factor is a little steeper. 3) from $30^{\circ}$ to $140^{\circ}$, the decrement of concentration factor is slight. 4) from $140^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$, the decrement is very steep with an abrupt with an abrupt change in the neighborhood of $140^{\circ}$.

In order to analyze and investigate in the fatigue behavior of the notched specimens under the two level stressing, the U-notched specimens of structural carbon steel which is generally used is prepared. The obtained results are summarized as follows; (1) The fatigue limit of the U-notched specimens is lower than that of the unnotched. The fatifue notch factor (.betha.) of the U-notched specimens is 1.44 for mild steel and 1.52 for harden steel. The notch sensitivity (q) is 0.68 for mild steel and o.8 for harden steel. That is, these facts show that harden steel is more sensitive to the notch than mild steel. (2) The fatigue life time of the U-notched specimens under the overstressing is shorter than under the constant stressing, and the degree of fatigue life time decrease is different to each stress level; the degree for the high stress level is more than for the low stress level. (3) The fatigue life time of the U-notched specimes under the understressing is longer than under the constant stressing, and the degree of fatigue life time increase for the low stress level is more than for the high stress level.

This paper is especially concerned with the weldment between support beam and square bar that plays important roles in control box of Expansion Joint as a brdige structure. Fatigue strength ({TEX}$$\sigma$_{ult}${/TEX}) of the weldment is dependent on notch factor ({TEX}$K_{f}${/TEX}) become important factors to predict fatigue life. The fatigue notch sensitivity (η) for metals can be divided into two types ; high and low notch sensitivity. In this work, the Expansion Joint weldment was found to have low notch sensitivity. The maximum strain distribution during static loading is similar to the FEM analysis. Fatigue test of real structure was performed up to {TEX}$10^{6}${/TEX} cycles to be compared with predicted endurance limit.

A cracked plate with a patch bonded on one side was treated with a crack-bridging model using weight function: assuming continuous distribution of springs acting between th crack surfaces, the stress intensity factor of the patched crack was numerically obtained. Especially in the case of a patched crack subjected to residual non-uniform stress, the stress intensity factor was easily with the corresponding approximate weight function. This paper presented the stress intensity factors for a crack partially patched within a finite plate or a patched crack initiated from a notch.

Fatigue life estimation by the theoretical stress concentration factors are, in general, considerably different from test results. And in calculating stress concentration factor, it is very difficult to consider actual geometry and material property which are the notch shapes, imperfections or defects of materials such as porosities inclusions and casting defects, etc. Therefore, the paper deals with the experimental method to find out the more exact stress concentration factors by measuring the strain distributions on each specimen by 3D-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) System. Then the fatigue lives are compared between theoretical calculations using stress concentration factors determined by 3D-ESPI system and fatigue test results.

A stress-induced brittle failure in deep tunneling generates spalling and slabbing, eventually causing a v-shaped notch formation. An empirical relationship for the depth of the notch to the maximum tangential stress assuming an equivalent circular cross-section was proposed (Martin et al. 1999). While this empirical approach has been well recognized in the industry and used as a design guideline in many projects, its applicability to a non-circular opening is worth revisiting due to the use of equivalent circular profile. Moreover, even though the extent of the notch also contributes to notch failure, it has not been estimated to date. When the estimate of both the depth and the extent of notch are combined, a practical and economically justifiable support design can be achieved. In this study, a new methodology to assess the depth as well as the extent of notch failure is developed. Field data and numerical simulations using the Cohesion Weakening Frictional Strengthening (CWFS) model were collected and correlated with the three most commonly accepted failure criteria (σ₁/σ₃, D_is=σ_max/σ_c, σ_dev/σ_cm). For the numerical analyses, the D-shaped tunnel was used since most civil tunnels are built to this profile. Inferential statistical analysis is applied to predict the failure range with a 95% confidence level. Considering its accuracy and simplicity, the new correlation can be used as an enhanced version of failure assessment.
