In order to determine the plane strain fracture toughness of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy castings, solution heat treatments have been conducted at $530^{\circ}C$ for 8hr and aged for 10hr at $145^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$ and $175^{\circ}C$. Effects of aging treatment and of Si contents on the fracture toughness have been investigated by a three point loaded bend test, using the artificial notch. The results obtained are as follows; 1) The fracture toughness is appreciably affected by the aging treatment temperature and Si contents. The specimen aged for 10hr at $145^{\circ}C$ has the highest fracture toughness. 2) Increasing Si contents from 5% to 9% results in decrease of fracture toughness. 3) Increasing the aging temperature and Si contents, C.O.D. value was decreased. The specimen aged for 10hr at $145^{\circ}C$ has the highest C.O.D. value. 4) Dimple patterns were observed in the specimens of containing under 7% Si, while mixed cleavage-dimple patterns in those of over 8% Si.

콘크리트 삼점휨 시험편의 변위제어에 의한 동적 파괴실험으로 하중과 하중점-변위가 측정되었다. 변형률 게이지를 사용하여 균열의 성장길이가 측정되었으며, 균열이 성장되는 동안의 평균속도는 0.16 ~ 66 m/sec이었다. 균열성장에 대한 파괴에너지는 측정된 외부일에 대한 하중점-변위에 대한 운동에너지와 영구변형이 고려되지 않은 탄성에너지의 차이로부터 계산되었다. 모든 균열속도에 대해 23mm의 균열성장 동안 미소균열이 성장되며, 51 mm의 최대 탄성0에너지까지 안정 균열성장과 이후의 불안정 균열성장을 보였다. 균열속도가 66msec인 경우를 제외하고 80mm의 균열성장에서 균열성장의 구속이 관측되었다. 균열속도에 대한 파괴에너지와 파괴에너지율의 분석은 13mm/sec보다 느린 경우에 정적 거동을 그리고 1.9m/sec보다 빠른 속도에서 동적 거동을 보였다. 동적 실험에서 측정된 하중과 하중점-변위 관계의 큰 차이에도 불구하고 관성력과 균열성장길이 그리고 탄성에너지의 차이로 불안정 균열성장 이전의 균열속도에 대한 파괴저항은 균열속도에 영향을 받지 않았다. 안정 균열성장 동안의 최대 파괴저항은 최대하중 이후 최대 탄성에너지에서 발생되며, 동적 실험이 정적 실험보다 147% 큰 값이었다.

Accurate measurement of K_IC values for gas pipeline steels is important for assessing pipe safety using failure assessment diagrams. As direct measurement of K_IC was impossible for the API X70 pipeline steel, multi-specimen fracture tests were conducted to measure J_IC using three-point bend geometry. The J values were calculated from load-displacement (F-δ) plots, and the associated crack extensions were measured from the fracture surface of test specimens. Valid data points were found for the constructed J-Δa plot resulting in J_IC=356kN/m. More data points were added analytically to the J-Δa plot to increase the number of data points without performing additional experiments for different J-Δa zones where test data was unavailable. Consequently, displacement (δ) and crack-growth (Δa) from multi-specimen tests (with small displacements) were used simultaneously, resulting in the variation of Δa-δ (crack growth law) and δ-Δa obtained for this steel. For new Δa values, corresponding δ values were first calculated from δ-Δa. Then, corresponding J values for the obtained δ values were calculated from the area under the F-δ record of a full-fractured specimen (with large displacement). Given Δa and J values for new data points, the developed J-Δa plot with extra data points yielded a satisfactory estimation of J_IC=345kN/m with only a -3.1% error. This is promising and showed that the developed technique could ease the estimation of J_IC significantly and reduce the time and cost of expensive extra fracture toughness tests.

In this study, lanthanum oxide ($La_2O_3$) dispersed molybdenum ($Mo-La_2O_3$) alloys are fabricated using lanthanum nitrate solution and nanosized Mo particles produced by hydrogen reduction of molybdenum oxide. The effect of $La_2O_3$ dispersion in a Mo matrix on the fracture toughness at room temperature is demonstrated through the formation behavior of $La_2O_3$ from the precursor and three-point bending test using a single-edge notched bend specimen. The relative density of the $Mo-0.3La_2O_3$ specimen sintered by pressureless sintering is approximately 99%, and $La_2O_3$ with a size of hundreds of nanometers is uniformly distributed in the Mo matrix. It is also confirmed that the fracture toughness is $19.46MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, an improvement of approximately 40% over the fracture toughness of $13.50MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ on a pure-Mo specimen without $La_2O_3$, and this difference in the fracture toughness occurs because of the changes in fracture mode of the Mo matrix caused by the dispersion of $La_2O_3$.

This paper presents a comprehensive integrity assessment of welded structural components, including uniform high- and low-cycle fatigue assessment of welded plate joints and fatigue-induced fracture assessment of welded plate joints. This study reports a series of fatigue and fracture tests of welded plate joints under three-point bending. To unify the assessment protocol for high- and low-cycle fatigue of welded plate joints, this study develops a numerical damage assessment framework for both high- and low-cycle fatigue. The calibrated damage material parameters are validated through the smooth coupon specimens. The proposed damage-based fatigue assessment approach describes, with reasonable accuracy, the total fatigue life of welded plate joints under high- and low-cycle fatigue actions. Subsequently, the study performs a tearing assessment on the ductile crack extension of the fatigue-induced crack. The tearing assessment diagram derives from the load-deformation curve of a single-edge notched bend, SE(B) specimen and successfully predicts the load-crack extension relation for the reported welded plate joints during the stable tearing process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acid etching on the surface appearance and fracture toughness of five glass ionomer cements. Five kinds of commercially available glass ionomer cements including chemical curing filling type, chemical curing lining type, chemical curing metal reinforced type, light curing tilling type and light curing lining type were used for this study. The specimens for SEM study were fabricated by treating each glass ionomer cement with either visible light curing or self curing after being inserted into a rubber mold (diameter 4mm, depth 1mm). Some of the specimens were etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 0, 15, 30, 60, go seconds, at 5 minutes, 1 hour and 1 day after mixing of powder and liquid. Unetched ones comprised the control group and the others were the experimental groups. The surface texture was examined by using scanning electron microscope at 20 kV. (S-2300, Hitachi Co., Japan). The specimens for fracture toughness were fabricated by curing of each glass ionomer cement previously inserted into a metal mold for the single edge notch specimen according to the ASTME399. They were subjected to a three-point bend test after etching for 0, 30, 60, and 90 seconds at 5 minutes-, 1 hour-and 1 day-lapse after the fabrication of the specimens. The plane strain fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) was determined by three-point bend test which was conducted with cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min using Instron universal testing machine (Model No. 1122) following seven days storage of the etched specimens under $37^{\circ}C$, 100% humidity condition. Following conclusions were drawn. 1. In unetched control group, crack was present, but the surface was generally smooth. 2. Deterioration of the surface appearance such as serious dissolving of gel matrix and loss of glass particles occured as the etching time was increased beyond 15 s following Immediate etching of chemical curing type of glass ionomer cements. 3. Etching after 1 h, and 1 d reduced surface damage, 15 s, and 30s etch gave rough surface appearance without loss of glass particle of chemical curing type of glass ionomer cements. 4. Light curing type glass ionomer cement was etched by acid, but there was no difference in surface appearances according to various waiting periods. 5. It was found that the value of plane stram fracture toughness of glass ionomer cements was highest in the light curing filling type as $1.79\;MNm^{-1.5}$ followed by the light curing lining type, chemical curing metal reinforced type, chemical curing filling type and chemical curing lining type. 6. The value of plane stram fracture toughness of the chemical curing lining type glass ionomer cement etched after 5 minutes was lower than those of the cement etched after 1 hour or day or unetched (P < 0.05). 7. Light curing glass ionomer cement showed Irregular fractured surface and chemical curing cement showed smooth fractured surface.

To investgate the fracture behavior of the steel fiber reinforced concreate, the specimens with different steel fiber contents of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, were made and notched with differents notch depth ratios of 0.0,0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and the three point bend tests were followed. Test results of 16 different types of above combined specimens were summarized as follows. 1.The load line deflection contents were found to increase 5%, 16%, 19%, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increased of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2,0.4, 0.6, respectively. 2.The frexural strength were found to decrease 14%, 16%, 21 %, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increase of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6,respectively. 3.The stress intensity factors of the steel fiber reinforced concrete were found to increase 1.1 1.5 1.9 times, respectively, compared to the concrete with no steel fiber content with the increase of fiber content to 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, respectively. 4.The influence of the mass of the steel fiber reinforced concrete to the whole fracture energy was found to be minor with 6~8 % contribution. 5.The fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete, considering the load-deflection curve and concrete mass was found to be approximately 350-380kg m/m$^2$. 6.The regression analysis through the relationship between the compressive(Oc)/tensile (OT) strength and fracture energy(Gf) showed that the fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete could be predicted as follows. Gf= 19.2662 Oc - 3940.4 Gf= 246.876 OT- 6008.8

Fracture toughness of five different reactor pressure vessel steels was characterized in the transition temperature region by the ASTM E1921-97 standard method using Charpy-sized small specimens. T he predominant fracture mode of the tested steels was transgranular cleavage in the test conditions. A statistical analysis based on the Weibull distribution was applied to the interpretation of the scattered fracture toughness data. The size-dependence of the measured fracture toughness values was also well predicted by means of the Weibull probabilistic analysis. The measured fracture toughness transition curves followed the temperature-dependence of the ASTM master curve within the expected scatter bands. Therefore, the fracture toughness characteristics in the transition region could be described by a single parameter, so-called the reference temperature (T。), for a given steel. The determined reference temperatures of the tested materials could not be correlated with the conventional index temperatures from Charpy impact tests.

CLWL-DCB 시험편에 대한 변위제어 파괴실험으로 381mm의 균열성장에 대한 저항곡선이 유도되었다. 변형률 게이지를 사용하여 측정된 평균 균열성장속도는 0.70 mm/sec와 55mm/sec이었다. 초기균열에서 측정된 회전각도는 0.70 mm/sec와 55mm/sec의 균열속도에 대해 각각 최소한 171mm와 93mm의 균열성장 이전에 특이성이 존재하는 것을 보여주었다. 저항곡선의 최대 기울기는 0.70mm/sec 균열속도에 대해 25.4mm와 88.9mm 그리고 55mm/sec 균열속도에 대해 50.8 mm와 127mm의 균열성장길이 사이에서 발생되며, 미소균열 국부화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 빠른 균열속도에서 미소균열성장 구역은 보다 길게 형성되며, 미소균열의 국부화 동안에도 큰 균열성장을 보였다. 0.70mm/sec 균열속도의 파괴저항은 152.4mm의 균열성장 이후에 평균 파괴에너지율의 약 70%인 143N/m의 비교적 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 55mm/sec 균열속도는 254mm 균열성장에서 최대 파괴저항 245N/m까지 증가한 후 파괴저항의 감소되어 불안정 균열성장이 발생될 수 있음을 보여준다. 55mm/sec 균열속도의 저항곡선은 TPB 실험과 유사하여, 시험편의 크기가 작거나 균열의 속도가 빠른 경우에 취성거동을 할 수 있는 것을 보여준다.

본 연구의 목적은 KURT 화강암 시료의 포화유무에 따른 균열손상 기준과 파괴인성의 변화를 측정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 일축압축시험을 이용한 소성체적변형률을 통해 KURT 화강암의 균열손상 기준을 도출하였다. 또한 암석의 파괴인성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 측정하기 위해 암석의 비선형적 변형에 대한 보정(Level II Method; ISRM, 1988) 을 통해 포화유무에 따른 KURT 화강암의 수정 파괴인성(corrected fracture toughness)을 측정하였다. 시험결과 건조시료의 평균 균열개시 응력(σ_ci)과 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)은 91.1 MPa과 128.7 MPa이었으며, 포화시료의 평균 균열개시 응력(σ_ci)과 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)은 58.2 MPa과 68.2 MPa이었다. 건조시료에 비해 포화시료의 균열개시 응력은 36% 감소하였으며 균열손상 응력은 건조시료 대비 47%나 감소되는 결과를 나타내었다. 균열손상 응력(σ_cd)이 상대적으로 더욱 감소하였음을 감안할 때 시료의 포화로 인해 더 낮은 응력조건에서 구조물에 대한 손상이 쉽게 발생할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. KURT 화강암의 비선형성을 고려한 수정 파괴인성은 0.811 MPa·m^0.5이었으며 포화시료의 수정 파괴인성은 0.620 MPa·m^0.5이었다. 즉 암석의 비선형성을 고려함으로써 파괴인성의 증가를 확인할 수 있었으며, 암석의 포화시 수정 파괴인성은 24% 감소하였다. 따라서 지하수 포화로 인해 암석 내 균열의 생성과 진전에 대한 저항성이 감소함을 알 수 있다.
