A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that converts a chemical energy directly into an electrical energy and has higher energy efficiency than an internal combustion engine, but solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) consisting of brittle ceramic material remains as a major issue regarding the mechanical properties as the crack formation and propagation. In this study, the stress distribution and crack behavior around the crack tip were evaluated, due to investigated the effects of the surface crack at the operating condition of high temperature. As a result, the difference of the generated stress was insignificant at operating conditions of high temperature according to the surface crack length changes. This is because, the high stiffness interconnect has a closed structure to suppress cell deformation about thermal expansion. The stress intensity factor ratio $K_{II}/K_I$ increased as the crack depth increased, at that time the effect of $K_{II}$ is larger than that of $K_I$. Also the maximum stress intensity factor increased as the crack depth increased, but the location of crack was generated at the electrolyte/anode interface, not at the crack tip.

파괴역학을 기초로 한 구조물의 수명 관리와 안전성 평가에 있어서, 결함의 크기는 매우 중요한 변수인자이다. 집중유도형 교류전위차법(ICFPD)은 구조물 부재의 표면, 이면 및 내면에 존재하는 결함을 검출하고, 그 크기를 측정하기 위하여 개발하였다. 본 비파괴법의 원리는 교류 전류가 흐르는 하나의 도선에 의하여 국부적인 영역에 전류를 집중적으로 유도하는 것을 이용하였다. 도선에 흐르는 전류는 일정 크기와 주파수를 갖는다. 금속표면에 유도된 전위는 탐촉자에 설치된 전위측정용 단자(potential pick-up pins)로 측정한다. 본 논문은 집중유도형 교류전위차법을 이용하여 평판 시험편에 도입한 표면결함과 이면결함을 평가하였다. 표면결함의 경우, 전위차 분포는 결함의 경사도에 따라 변화하고, 결함부와 결함단부의 전위차는 결함의 경사도 및 깊이에 따라 변화한다. 이면결함의 경우, 전위차 분포는 표면결함의 전위차 분포와 구분이 되며, 결함부에서의 전위차는 결함의 깊이에 따라 변화한다.

Generally, as the welded region of weld structures has the incomplete bead and welded deposit which are able to behave like the surface cracks occasinally, there is a high possibility that the fatigue fracture of the weld structures is due to the surface cracks on the wlded region. This study was done to investigate the effects of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the fatigue behaviors of the surface crack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) for the multi-pass welds under the repetitive pure bending moment. The obtained results are summarized as follows : 1. The crack grows to the depth direction initially as the number of cylces increase, the amount of crack length is increased for the surface dir3ction and cive versa for the depth direction. 2. The fatigue life is increased in a order of as weld, PWHT specimens and parent. 3. As the number of cycles increase, the crack length is increased to th surface direction. The increase of the depth length is blunted at the center of specimen thickness. 4. The fatigue crack growth of PWHT specimens to the surface direction is dependent upon the holding time and applied stress during PWHT. In order words, the crack growth rate decreases with the holding time and increases with the applied stress during PWHT. 5. As the crack grows, the aspect formed in the course of crack propagation approaches to semicircle for parent and ellipse with the largest semidiameter for PWHT ($1/4hr, 15kgf/mm^2$) 6. At depth direction, it is difficult to apply to the paris' equation because of the scattered data between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor range.

When a crack is produced in a concrete structure, a micro crack zone of fracture process zone (FPZ) appears at the crack tip. To investigate the behaviour of this the micro crack zone, nonlinear fracture mechanics (NLFM) must be applied. However, when a massive concrete structure such as a concrete gravity dam is considered, the micro crack zone can be neglected and the structure can be assumed to have linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) behaviour. This study is divided into two main topics : (1) Calculating stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack tip by surface integral method and (2) Investigating the propagation of the initial crack. If the initial crack propagates, the angle of the propagation is calculated by using maximum circumferential tensile strength theory. This study, also, contains the effects of body forces and water pressures on the crack face.

The multi-point procedure is developed to predict the shape change of a semi-elliptical surface crack during stable fatigue crack growth. 3-D stress intensity factors along a crack front are calculated using the simplified 3-D J-intergral. Crack growth rate coefficient in the Paris law is assumed to be constant along the crack growth. Crack growth rate is set to be the distance between the two parallel tangent lines on the two semi-elliptic crack fronts before and after crack growth.

Accurate stress intensity factor analyses and crack growth rate of surface-cracked components in inhomogeneous materials are needed for reliable prediction of their fatigue lift and fracture strengths. This paper describes an automated system for analyzing the stress intensity factors of three-dimensional (3D) cracks in inhomogeneous materials. 3D finite element method (FEM) was used to obtain the stress intensity factor for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. To examine accuracy and efficiency of the present system, the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack in a plate subjected to uniform tension is calculated, and compared with Raju-Newman's solutions. Then the system is applied to analyze cladding effect of subsurface cracks in inhomogeneous materials. The results were compared with those surface cracks in homogeneous materials. It is clearly demonstrated from these analyses that the stress intensity factors for subsurface cracks are less than those of surface cracks.

This paper discusses applicability of the enhanced reference stress method to estimate J-integral along the semi-elliptical surface crack front. It is found that angular variations of normalized J­integral are strongly dependent on the geometry, loading mode and loading magnitude. As application of the reference stress approach to semi-elliptical surface cracks implies proportional increases in the normalized J-integral, the present results pose a question in applicability of the reference stress approach. However, investigation of the error in the estimated J-integral in the present work suggests that the enhanced reference stress approach, recently proposed by authors, provides an effective engineering tool fur estimating crack driving force along the semi-elliptical surface crack front.

The theoretical analyses for stresses induced in axial direction in the buried pipelines are reviewed. The influences of the axially directed stresses on the surface elliptical crack are studied in detail and thus some engineering technical informations are provided to use reliability assessment of buried pipelines. The change in temperature, the effect of inner pressure and soil friction in the buried pipeline constrained in axial direction are included to determine the axial stresses in the buried pipeline. Furthermore, the stress induced by the pipeline bending are also considered. The stress intensity factors calculated by two models such as a simple plane crack and an elliptical surface crack for a circumferential surface elliptical crack are compared.

The influence of the fatigue crack propagation by shot peening was studied in this paper. Fatigue tests were carried out on the unpeened and shot peened CT specimens. The changes of mechanical properties, residual stress, fatigue fracture surface etc. by shot peening were investigated. The mechanical properties, residual stress, fatigue surface etc. by shot peening were investigated. The mechanical peened specimen improved in fatigue life up to 14% by shot peening. The reason of increase in the fatigue life was closely related with the compressive residual stress, which was 519.7MPa on surface. Another reason was the constraint on crack opening on surface region, it is due to the decrease in slope of crack propagation direction.
