As the huge energy transfer systems like as nuclear power plant and steam power plant are operated for a long time, mechanical properties are changed and ductile-brittle transition temperature is raised by degradation. So it is required to estimate degradation in order to assess the safety, remaining life, and further operation parameters. The sub-sized specimen test method using surveillance specimen was developed for evaluating the integrity of metallic components. In this study, we would like to present the evaluation technique of the ductile-brittle transition temperature by the sub-sired specimen test. The four classes of the thermally aged 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. The tensile test and fracture toughness test were performed. The results of the fracture toughness tests using the sub-sized specimens were compared with the evaluation technique of the ductile-brittle transition temperature.

Material failure behavior is generally dependent on loading rate. Especially in brittle and quasi-brittle materials, rate dependent material behavior can be significant. Empirical formulations are often used to predict the rate dependency, but such methods depend on extensive experimental works and are limited by practical constraints of physical testing. Numerical simulation can be an effective means for extracting knowledge about rate dependent behavior and for complementing the results obtained by testing. In this paper, the failure behavior of a brittle material under different loading rates is simulated by molecular dynamics analysis. A notched specimen is modeled by sub-million particles with a normalization scheme. Lennard-Jones potential is used to describe the interparticle force. Numerical simulations are performed with six different loading rates in a direct tensile test, where the loading velocity is normalized to the ratio of the pseudo-sonic speed. As a consequence, dynamic features are achieved from the numerical experiments. Remarkable failure characteristics, such as crack surface interaction/crack arrest, branching, and void nucleation, vary in case of the six loading cases. These characteristics are interpreted by the energy concept approach. This study provides insight into the change in dynamic failure mechanism under different loading rates.

Ferrite is widely used in the material of magnetic head, but is difficult of grinding because of their brittleness and hardness. Therefore, diamond wheel with superabrasive is required for surface grinding of this brittle material. But the conventional dressing method can not apply to the diamond wheel with superabrasive. In this study describes a newly proposed method for carrying out effective inprocess dressing of diamond wheel with superabrasive. Using the IEDD the surface roughness of workpiece was improved and grinding force was very low. Resently IEDD is good method to obtain the efficiency grinding and surface grinding of brittle materials.

In the previous report1), the grinding characteristics of quartz were investigated. In this paper, the grinding mechanisms of brittle materials including ceramics and quartz are modeled and a new parameter SDR(Surface roughness Direction Ratio) is proposed to characterize the grinding mechanisms of such materials. A set of experiments were performed to verify the effectiveness of the suggested parameter. The experimental results indicate that the plastic deformation is the dominant material removal mode at the grinding conditions which show the higher value of SDR. In the case of quartz, the material was removed by brittle fracture in a lower value of SDR and by plastic deformation in a higher value of it. SDR is not affected by wheel mesh size when brittle fracture occured. But in the plastic deformation case, SDR value increases with wheel mesh size.

The paper presents results of FE-calculations on shear localizations in quasi-brittle materials during both an uniaxial plane strain compression and uniaxial plane strain extension. An elasto-plastic model with a linear Drucker-Prager type criterion using isotropic hardening and softening and non-associated flow rule was used. A non-local extension was applied in a softening regime to capture realistically shear localization and to obtain a well-posed boundary value problem. A characteristic length was incorporated via a weighting function. Attention was focused on the effect of mesh size, mesh alignment, non-local parameter and imperfections on the thickness and inclination of shear localization. Different methods to calculate plastic strain rates were carefully discussed.

Welded joint generally has heterogeneity of strength, material, and fracture toughness and it is important to understand the characteristics of material strength and fracture of welded joint considering heterogeneous effect. Characteristics of strength and fracture of an undermatched joint under dynamic loading was studied by round-bar tension tests and thermal elastic-plastic analyses in this paper. The strength and fracture of the undermatched joints should be evaluated based on the effects of the strain rate and the temperature including temperature rise during the dynamic loading. The differences of fracture characteristics like such as ductile-to-brittle transition behavior are well precisely explained from the stress-strain distribution obtained by numerical analysis.

The most known continuum damage theories for brittle structures are suitable to model the degradation of the material due to the deformation process and the consequent initiation of a macro-crack. Nevertheless, they are not able to describe the propagation of the crack that leads, eventually, to the breakage of the structure into parts that undergo rigid body motion. This paper presents a theory, formulated from formal arguments of Continuum Mechanics, that may describe not only the degradation but also the fracture of elastic structures. The modeling of such a discontinuous phenomenon through a continuous theory is possible by taking a cohesion variable, related with the links between material points, as an additional degree of kinematical freedom. The possibilities of the proposed theory are discussed through examples.

탄소섬유보강폴리머(CFRP)는 경량이며, 성형성 및 작업성이 뛰어나 보수보강재료로서 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 연성재료인 철근과는 달리 CFRP는 취성재료이므로, 철근에서 사용되는 전통적인 설계접근 방법을 적용하는 것은 부적합하다. 연성재료인 철근은 항복이후 요소사이의 응력재분배가 이뤄져 복합요소의 거동은 평균화된다. 따라서 복합요소의 응력 평균은 단위요소의 평균과 같고, 표준편차는 더 작아진다. 따라서 연성재료의 설계값은 증가시킬 수 있으나, 안전측, 실무적 접근에서 고정값을 사용한다. 반면 취성재료의 경우, 응력재분배를 기대하기 어려워 복합요소의 거동은 더 약한 요소에 의해 결정된다. 이에 복합요소의 응력의 평균값과 표준편차는 감소한다. 따라서 취성재료의 설계값은 요소수가 증가할수록 감소한다. 이 논문에서는 취성재료에서 정규분포를 가지는 단위요소가 요소 결합에 따라 와이블 분포를 가지게 됨을 증명하고, 이를 반영하여 하중이 작용하는 면적에 따른 물성치의 보정식을 제안하였다.
