In accelerated life testing, a relationship is usually assumed between the stress and a parameter of the lifetime distribution. However, the true relationship is not usually known, and therefore, the experimenter may wish to provide protections against the likely departures from the assumed relationship. This paper considers an accelerated life test in which two stress levels are involved, and the lifetime of each test item at a stress level is assumed to have an independent, identical, exponential distribution. For the case where a first order relationship is assumed while the true one is quadratic, a procedure is developed for allocating test items to stress levels such that the bias and/or the variance of the estimated(log-transformed) mean lifetime at the use condition is minimized.

This paper presents new compromise ALT plan which is applied to situations that true relationship between stress and parameters is not known exactly. The assumed failure distribution of this study is one of location-scale family, i. e., exponential, Weibull, and lognormal distributions which have been ones of the popular choices of failure distributions. The method of applying the stress is constant, and the censoring mechanism is Type I censoring. Compared with existing compromise plans under true simple linear model in terms of statistical efficiency, the efficiency of new compromise plan is better than the corresponding other compromise ones in most cases. For case when true model is quadratic, this plan can be used without any severe loss in statistical efficiency. The proposed new compromise ALT plan is illustrated with a numerical example and sensitivity analyses are conducted to study effects of pre-estimates of design parameters.

This paper presents a stress-modified fracture strain for API X65 steel used for gas pipeline, as a function of stress triaxiality. To determine the stress-modified fracture strain, tension test of bars with four different notch radii, made of API X65 steel, is firstly performed, from which true fracture strains are determined as a function of notch radius. Then detailed elastic-plastic, large strain finite element (FE) analyses are performed to estimate variations of stress triaxiality in the notched bars with load. Combining experimental with FE results provides the true fracture strain as a function of stress triaxiality, which is regarded as a criterion of ductile fracture. Application of the developed stress-modified fracture strain to failure prediction of gas pipes made of API X65 steel with various types of defects is discussed.

A large number of welded steel moment-resisting framed (SMRF) structures failed due to brittle fracture induced by ductile fracture at beam-to-column connections during 1994 Northridge earthquake and 1995 Kobe (Hyogoken-Nanbu) earthquake. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to clarifying the mechanism of the observed failures and corresponding countermeasures to ensure more ductile design of welded SMRF structures, while limited research on the failure analysis of the ductile cracking was conducted due to lack of computational capacity and proper theoretical models. As the first step to solve this complicated problem, this paper aims to establish a straightforward procedure to simulate ductile cracking of welded joints under monotonic tension. There are two difficulties in achieving the aim of this study, including measurement of true stress-true strain data and ductile fracture parameters of different subzones in a welded joint, such as weld deposit, heat affected zone and the boundary between the two. Butt joints are employed in this study for their simple configuration. Both experimental and numerical studies on two types of butt joints are conducted. The validity of the proposed procedure is proved by comparison between the experimental and numerical results.

In this paper, smooth and notched bar tensile tests of austenitic stainless steel 304 are performed, covering four different multi-axial stress states and six different strain rate conditions, to investigate the effect of the stress triaxiality and strain rate on fracture strain. Test data show that the measured true fracture strain tends to decrease with increasing stress triaxiality and strain rate. The test data are then quantified using the Johnson-Cook (J-C) fracture strain model incorporating combined effects of the stress triaxiality and strain rate. The determined J-C model can predict true fracture strain overall conservatively with the difference less than 20%. The conservatism in the strain-based acceptance criteria in ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Appendix FF is also discussed.

We present the numerical characteristics of a new true stress-strain curve acquisition method over a large range of strains by the tensile test and a finite element method through comparing the results obtained by various finite element mesh systems. The method is introduced in detail. The effects of the finite element mesh systems on the results are investigated to show its numerical characteristics of the new method. It is shown that the method is quite robust, implying that it can be used as a special function of the tensile test machines.

암석의 파괴조건식으로 Mohr-Coulomb 및 Hoek-Brown 함수가 널리 이용되고 있으나 이들 함수는 중간주 응력을 고려할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 최근의 연구결과에 의하면 암석의 파괴강도는 중간주응력의 크기에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 주요 암반구조물의 안전설계를 위해서는 중간주응력이 고려된 3차원 암석파괴조건식이 도입될 필요성이 있다. 이 연구에서는 주응력좌표계의 자오면에서 선형으로 나타나며 또한 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴곡면의 모서리에 부드럽게 접하는 3차원 파괴함수인 Jiang & Pietruszczak(1988) 함수가 암석의 진삼축압축강도 예측에 활용될 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 논의하였다. Jiang & Pietruszczak 함수를 이용하여 실제 진삼축압축시험 결과를 모사함으로써 이 함수의 성능을 평가하였다.

말뚝을 설계함에 있어 극한지지력을 산정하는 것만으로는 말뚝의 장기 거동에 있어서의 하중분포를 고려할 수 없으므로 재하시험시 변형률계나 응력계를 사용하여 말뚝의 하중 재하에 따른 주면저항(the shaft resistance)의 분포를 측정하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 재하시험시 하중이 '0'일 때를 'zero time'으로 하여 계측기의 값을 읽는 'zero reading'을 가정함으로써 현장타설말뚝이나 항타말뚝의 시공시 발생된 잔류응력(the residual stress 또는 the residual load)을 무시하고 있다. 이러한 'zero reading'의 가정은 말뚝 시공시 발생하는 말뚝 하방향으로의 부주면마찰력인 잔류응력을 고려하지 않으므로 실제 말뚝주면의 하중분포와는 다른 결과를 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 현장에 시험시공된 현장타설말뚝에 대하여 정재하시험을 수행하였고, 말뚝 주면의 하중분포 측정시 변형률계를 사용하여 콘크리트 타설 직후부터 계측을 실시함으로써 말뚝 시공에 따른 잔류응력을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 잔류응력이 고려된 경우는 초기에 부의 응력상태를 보이나 하중이 재하됨에 따라 부주면마찰력이 극복되면서 양의 주면마찰력으로 전환됨을 알 수 있었으나, 'zero reading'의 경우는 양의 주면마찰력 만을 보였다.

This study focused on nonlinear effective stress site response analysis using two coupled constitutive models, that is, the DM model (Dafalias and Manzari 2004), which incorporated a simple plasticity sand model accounting for fabric change effects, and the PMDY03 model (Khosravifar et al. 2018), that is, a 3D model for earthquake-induced liquefaction triggering and postliquefaction response. A detailed parametric study was conducted to validate the effectiveness of nonlinear site response analysis and porewater pressure (PWP) generation through a true coupled formulation for assessing the initiation of liquefaction at ground level. The coupled models demonstrated accurate prediction of liquefaction triggering, which was in line with established empirical liquefaction triggering relations in published databases. Several limitations were identified in the evaluation of liquefaction using the cyclic stress method, despite its widespread implementation for calculating liquefaction triggering. Variations in shear stiffness, represented by changes in shear wave velocity (Vs1), exerted the most significant influence on site response. The study further indicated that substantial differences in response spectra between nonlinear total stress and nonlinear effective stress analyses primarily occurred when liquefaction was triggered or on the verge of being triggered, as shown by excess PWP ratios approaching unity. These differences diminished when liquefaction occurred towards the later stages of intense shaking. The soil response was predominantly influenced by the higher stiffness values present prior to liquefaction. A key contribution of this study was to validate the criteria used to assess the triggering of level-ground liquefaction using true coupled effective-stress constitutive models, while also confirming the reliability of numerical approximations including the PDMY03 and DM models. These models effectively captured the principal characteristics of liquefaction observed in field tests and laboratory experiments.

1960년대 후반 이래로 수행된 여러 진삼축압축시험 결과에 의하면 암석의 파괴강도는 중간주응력의 크기에 상당한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 실험적 결과를 바탕으로 지금까지 중간주응력이 파괴에 미치는 영향을 고려할 수 있는 다양한 3차원 파괴조건식들이 제안되고 있다. 그러나 문헌에 보고된 대부분의 3차원 파괴기준식들은 암석의 진삼축압축 강도를 현상학적으로 재현하기 위한 목적으로 개발되었기 때문에 관련된 강도정수들의 역학적 의미가 명확하지 않다. 이 연구에서는 암석강도의 중간주응력 의존성이 암석 내에 포함된 연약면들의 공간적 분포특성과 관련성이 있다는 가능성을 확인하기 위해 평면이방성 암석모델을 대상으로 수치 진삼축압축시험을 수행하였다. 미소구조텐서 개념을 활용하여 이방성 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준식을 개발하였으며 이를 강도기준식으로 활용하고 임계면법을 적용하여 평면이방성 암석의 파괴강도 및 파괴면 방향의 중간주응력 의존성을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 암석에 포함된 미시적 연약면들의 주응력 방향에 대한 방향성이 암석강도의 중간주응력 의존성과 밀접한 관련성이 있음을 암시해준다.
