Weld residual stresses can be a major concern in structural integrity assessments such as a nuclear power plant. In this paper, detailed weld residual stress analyses were presented for a typical multi-pass weld of pipe-butt weld and plate T-butt weld. The calculated residual stress distributions were compared with those of the measured data and recommended profiles in R6 and BS7910. Defect assessment which is based on the stress intensity factor(SIF) calculations was carried out for a plate T-butt weld with cracks considering the weld residual stress distributions.

Paris가 피로균열전파에 파괴역학의 개념을 도입한 이후, Paris 법칙에 의하여 피로균열성장문제를 다루어 왔으나, Elber가 제안한 유효응력강도계수가 균열 전파 실험과 잘 일치하는 것이 밝혀진 이후 많은 연구자들이 유효응력비인 개구비를 정확히 추정하기 위한 연구를 계속하여 왔다. 본 연구는 변동하중 하의 피로균열전파 거동을 해석함에 있어서 균열의 개폐구 거동을 고려한 해석적 수치 모델을 개발하여, 선체구조 설계나 선박검사 시에 활용 가능한 정밀한 균열전파 추정방법을 제안하고자 한다.

피로균열성장을 유한요소 시뮬레이션하였다. 인장시험으로 얻는 기계적 성질만을 사용하여 피로균열성장거동을 예측하려고 하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 균열선단 부근 절점의 변위의 변화를 살펴 임계균열개구변위를 결정하였다. 균열선단 절점을 분리하여 균열성장을 시뮬레이션하였다. Paris 법칙의 지수를 결정하여 이미 발표된 값과 비교하였다. 균열닫힘을 고려한 유효 응력확대계수에 관하여 그렸을 때 더 일관성이 있는 결과를 얻었다.

이 연구에서는 접착패치보강의 서로 다른 형태 즉, 패치와 접착제의 재료, 크기, 두께 뿐만 아니라 일면보강 또는 양면보강에 따른 일변균열판의 응력감소에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 수치해석 도구로는 p-수렴 부분층별 모델이 사용되었다. 이 모델의 면내 변위는 구간별 연속인 선형변화로 가정하였고, 두께방향으로의 면외 변위는 일정한 상수로 가정하여 적용하였다. 변위장의 정의는 적분형 르장드르 다항식을 적용하였고, 수치적분은 별도의 외삽법 없이 각 층별의 절점에서 발생하는 적분값을 바로 얻을 수 있는 가우스-로바토 적분법을 사용 하였다. 또, 에너지 방출률법을 사용하여 응력확대계수를 산출하였다. 수치예제를 통해 제안된 모델의 정확도는 물론이고 접착패치 보강형태에 따라 변화되는 무차원 응력확대계수와 처짐의 항으로 응력감소 효과를 분석하였다.

Many damages due to flow-accelerated corrosion and cracking have been observed during recent in-service inspections of nuclear power plants. To determine the operability or repair for damaged pipes, an integrity evaluation related to the damaged piping system should be performed by using already proven code and standards. One of them, the ASME Code Case is most popularly used to integrity assessment in nuclear power plants. However, the recent version of CC N-513 still recommends the simplified method which means a damaged elbow is assumed as an equivalent straight pipe. In addition, to enhance the accuracy integrity assessment in elbow, several previous studies recommend that the SIF and elastic COD values for an elbow with relatively large crack could be predicted by an interpolation technique. However, those estimates for elbow with relatively large crack might be derived to inaccurate results for crack growth analysis, such as for the allowable crack size and life estimation. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of crack length (0.3≤θ₁/π≤0.5) on SIF and elastic COD for elbow is systematically investigated. Then, for large crack in elbow, accurate estimates for SIF and elastic COD, which are widely used to assess the integrity of elbows, are proposed. Those proposed solutions are expected to be the technical basis for revisions of CC N-513-4 through the validation.

This paper describes a fuzzy-based system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. 3D finite element method(FEM) was used to obtain the SIF for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy theory. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack front are shifted at the quarter-points, and these are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. The complete FE model is generated, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. The results were compared with those surface cracks in homogeneous materials. Also, this system is applied to analyze cladding effect of surface cracks in inhomogeneous materials.

In this work, the effect of the correction fibers direction on the efficiency of repairing damaged composite plates was highlighted. The composite plates studied in this work consist of eight layers of graphite/epoxy, while the patch used in this repair consists of four layers of the same type. The results obtained in this work, whether with regard to the experimental or analytical side, showed that the fibers orientation affects the repair efficiency, so the closer the angle of fibers inclination is to the tensile strength direction, the performance of the composite material is ideal. Hence, we conclude that the composite materials with longitudinal fibers (Parallel to tensile strength) is the most powerful and efficient material in performance.

콘크리트 중력댐 상부면의 균열에 작용하는 수압의 영향을 주로 고려하여 댐의 파괴거동을 조사하였다. 첫째, 표면적분법에 의하여 응력확대계수를 구하는 경우에 작용하는 수압의 형태를 등분포형태 외에, 삼각형 분포 및 포물선분포도 고려하여 보았다. 둘째, FRANC(FRacture Analysis Code)를 이용하여 균열면에 작용하는 수압의 형태에 따른 기존균열의 전파방향을 추적하였다. 셋째, 월류수위 아래에서 균열이 전파되지 않을 수 있는 한계균열길이를 수압의 분포형태에 따라 구분하여 구하여 보았다. 표면적분법으로 수압의 형태에 따라 응력확대계수를 구한 결과는 FRANC를 이용하여 얻어진 결과와 비교 되었으며 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 균열면에 작용하는 수압의 형태가 삼각형분포의 경우에 균열의 전파방향은 등분포의 경우에 비하여 댐의 기초쪽으로 기우는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 월류수위 아래에서 한계균열길이는 댐높이의 대략 2/5-1/2되는 곳에서 최대가 됨을 알 수 있었다.

Defective metallic components and structures are being repaired with bonded composite patches to improve overall mechanical and fatigue properties. In this study, fatigue crack growth tests were conducted on pre-cracked 7075/T6 Aluminum substrates with and without bonded Boron/epoxy patches. A considerable increase in the fatigue life and a decrease in the stress intensity factor (SIF) were observed as the number of patch plies increased. The experimental results demonstrate that the patch configurations and patch thickness can enhance fatigue life by order of magnitude. Quantitative comparisons between analytical and experimental data were made, and the analytical model based on a modified Rose's analytical solution appears to best estimate the fatigue life.
