The size effect of axial compressive strength of concrete in notched specimens was experimentally investigated. Based on the concept of the fracture mechanics and size effect law, theoretical studies for axial compressive failure of concrete were reviewed, and two failure modes of concrete specimen under compression were discussed. In this study, experiment of axial compressive failure, which is one of the two failure modes, was carried out by using double cantilever fracture specimens. By varying the slenderness of cantilevers and the eccentricity of applied loads with respect to the axis of each cantilever, the size effect of axial compressive strength of concrete was investigated, and predicted by Bazant's size effect law. The test results show that size effect appears conspicuously for all series of specimens. For the eccentricity of loads, the influence of tensile and compressive stress at the notch tip are significant and so that the size effect is varied. In other words, if the influence of tensile stress at the notch tip grows up, the size effect of concrete increases. And the fact that the fracture process zone must be sufficiently secured for more accurate experiment was affirmed.

The objective of this study is to develop a local failure criterion for a wall thinning defect of piping components. For this purpose, a series of tensile tests was performed using several types of simulated specimens with different stress states, including smooth round bar, notched round bar (five different notch radii), and grooved plate (three different groove radii). In addition, finite element (FE) simulations were performed on the simulated specimen tests and the results were compared with the test results. From the comparisons, the equivalent stress and strain corresponding to maximum load and final failure of notched specimens were proposed as failure criteria under tensile load. The criteria were verified by employing them to the estimation of failure of grooved plate specimens that simulate the wall thinning defect. It showed that the proposed criteria accurately estimate the maximum load and final failure of grooved plate specimen tests.

In the last few years, ductile fracture criteria based on various hypotheses have been developed and utilized with FEM to predict forming failure. The accurate deformation analysis by the FEM and the decision of damage parameters are the most important factors in these approaches. In this paper, several conventional integral forms of fracture criteria were introduced and the test method to determine damage parameters by using notched specimen was suggested. Based on the results, damage parameters obtained under the different stress system (tensile and compression) are compared and analyzed.

Acoustic Emission was monitored during tensile test and loading-holding-unloa-ding cycle test for two types (notched and unnotched) of CFRP specimens. AE activities showed that the fiber breakage during tensile tests depended upon the specimen geometry. We obtained new AE parameter such as the ration (damage ratio= AE events during unloading test / AE events during loading test) and the felicity ratio from which we investigated dynamic fracture process of CFRP specimens. The damage ratio of AE events was shown to be a good indicator to distinguish the generated fracture mechanism, such as fiber breakage and delamination. Also, ultrasonic testing results after loading-holding-unloading cycle test were good agreement with AE test results to detect defects or fiber breakage.

이 연구에서는 UHPCC에서 섬유혼입률에 따른 초기균열강도 및 휨인장강도의 변화를 0~5 vol.% 범위에서 조사하였으며, 노치의 여부에 따른 영향을 파악하기 위해 노치가 없는 보에 대한 4점 재하실험 및 노치 낸 보에 대한 3점 재하실험을 같이 실시하였다. 실험 결과로부터 섬유혼입률이 증가함에 따라 휨인장강도는 선형적으로 강도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 초기균열강도의 경우에는 1 vol.% 이상에서는 강도향상을 나타내었으나 그 이하의 섬유혼입에서는 강도향상 효과가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 노치 유무에 따른 휨 실험으로부터 구한 UHPCC의 초기균열발생강도 및 휨 인장강도를 비교했을 때, 섬유혼입률에 따라 노치의 영향이 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 섬유혼입률이 증가함에 따라 노치에서의 응력집중의 영향이 감소하여 강도 차이가 점차 줄어들었으며, 높은 섬유혼입률에서는 노치에 의한 응력집중효과는 없어지고 균열면의 상태 및 크기효과의 영향이 지배적으로 작용하여 노치낸 보의 강도가 좀 더 크게 나타났다.

The present study addresses the direct and indirect methods of determining the mode-I fracture toughness of concrete using experimental tests and particle flow code. The direct method used is compaction tensile test and the indirect methods are notched Brazilian disc test, semi-circular bend specimen test, and hollow center cracked disc. The experiments were carried out to determine which indirect method yields the fracture toughness closer to the one obtained by the direct method. In the numerical analysis, the PFC model was first calibrated with respect to the data obtained from the Brazilian laboratory test. The crack paths observed in the simulated tests were in reasonable accordance with experimental results. The discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in the models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded particles. The mode-I fracture toughness in the direct tensile test was smaller than the indirect testing results. The fracture toughness obtained from the SCB test was closer to the direct test results. Hence, the semi-circular bend test is recommended as a proper experiment for determination of mode-I fracture toughness of concrete in the absence of direct tests.

강섬유 보강 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPFRC)는 높은 압축강도 뿐 아니라 강섬유 보강에 의한 뛰어난 응력분산효과로 인해 높은 인장강도를 가지며, 미세균열의 확장을 통해 균열 후에도 경화거동을 하여 구조부재가 안정적으로 외력에 저항하도록 한다. 본 연구에서는 UHPFRC 재료 인장강도를 정의함에 있어 노치가 있는 휨실험과 직접인장실험을 비교하여 실험법 및 결과 분석의 장단점을 알아보았다. I-형 보의 전단부재실험은 복부의 면내전단거동을 알아보기 위하여 전단 경간비, 유효높이, 재료인장강도를 변수로 계획하였다. 실험결과를 통해 전단보강근이 없는 UHPFRC I형 보의 균열발생 이후 전단거동의 응력 재분배효과를 정량적으로 판단하고, 균열 후 거동을 기존 전단 강도식이 잘 반영하고 있는지 검토하였다. 전단철근 보강이 없는 UHPFRC 전단부재의 경우 파괴모드는 사인장 파괴로 동일하였고, 이러한 파괴모드를 가지는 부재는 전단 경간비와 유효높이에 크게 영향을 받게 되어 부재 설계 시 이러한 변수에 대한 고려가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Micromechanical facture models can be used to predict ductile fracture in steel structures. In order to calibrate the parameters in the micromechanical models for the largely used Q345 steel in China, uniaxial tensile tests, smooth notched tensile tests, cyclic notched bar tests, scanning electron microscope tests and finite element analyses were conducted in this paper. The test specimens were made from base metal, deposit metal and heat affected zone of Q345 steel to investigate crack initiation in welded steel connections. The calibrated parameters for the three different locations of Q345 steel were compared with that of the other seven varieties of structural steels. It indicates that the toughness index parameters in the stress modified critical strain (SMCS) model and the void growth model (VGM) are connected with ductility of the material but have no correlation with the yield strength, ultimate strength or the ratio of ultimate strength to yield strength. While the damage degraded parameters in the degraded significant plastic strain (DSPS) model and the cyclic void growth model (CVGM) and the characteristic length parameter are irrelevant with any properties of the material. The results of this paper can be applied to predict ductile fracture in welded steel connections.

The aim of this work is conduct the study on light weight and structural performance improvement of the composite wind power blade. GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) pre-empted by CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), the major material of wind power blade, was identified the superiority of mechanical performance through the tensile and fatigue test. SENT(Single Edge Notched Tension) specimen fracture test was conducted on the specimen that laminated together 2 ply CFRP with 4 ply GFRP through DIC(Digital Image Correlation) analysis. The SENT specimen thickness and $a_0/W$ ratio is 1.45 mm and 0.2, respectively. The fracture test accomplished with displacement control with 0.1 mm/min at the room temperature. The experimental apparatus used for the fracture test consisted of a 50kN universal dynamic tester and CCD camera connected to a personal computer (PC), which was used to record images of the specimen surface. Following data acquisition, the images and load-displacements were transferred to the PC, on which the DIC software was implement. The experiment and DIC analysis results show that CFRP/GFRP laminated composite exhibits improvement of the strength, compared with that of the existing blade material. This study shows the result that the strength of CFRP rotor blade of wind turbine satisfies through the experimental and DIC method.

본 논문의 유한요소 손상해석기법은 재료 인장물성과 파괴기준을 필요로 한다. 기존에 연구된 재료들은 노치인장 시험결과로부터 하나의 인장물성과 파괴기준을 구할 수 있었다. 그러나 본 논문에서 사용된 cast stainless steel(CF8M)의 경우, 동일한 조건의 노치인장 시험결과들에 분산이 존재하여 해석자에 따라 다른 인장물성과 파괴기준이 구해질 수 있다. 따라서 해석자에 관계없이 일관된 인장물성 및 파괴기준을 구할 수 있는 적절한 절차가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 노치반경 16mm 의 인장시편 시험결과로부터 평균 인장물성을 구하였고, 이를 유한요소 해석에 적용하여 3 개의 파괴기준을 구하였다. 구해진 인장물성과 파괴기준을 적용하여 J-R 파괴인성 시험에 대한 손상해석을 수행하였고, 시험결과와 비교함을 통해 제시된 절차의 타당성을 검증하였다.
