A method is proposed to evaluate the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve only with load displacement records without the crack length measurement in CT specimen. This method is based on the idea that the effect of plastic deformation and the crack growth can be measured only by using a load-displacement record. If we know the reference-load curve representing the hardening of specimen, then the crack extension can be calculated by the elastic compliance determined from the load ratio. The results of this proposed method were compared to those of the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve for the ASTM standard unloading compliance method. The experimental results for two kinds of ductile materials showed that the proposed method well simulates the material J-R curves. This method is currently applied for CT specimens. but it can be extended to the other specimen geometries.

Three dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of shape parameters (plate width and thickness) on the stress intensity factor for crack in the integrally stiffened plate. Analysis was done for width ratios of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and thickness ratios of 2, 3, 4, 6. Based on these results, an empirical equation of geometry factor is formulated as a function of crack length and thickness ratio.

This paper presents analytical methodologies for remaining life prediction of plain concrete structural components considering tension softening and size effects. Non-linear fracture mechanics principles (NLFM) have been used for crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction. Various tension softening models such as linear, bi-linear, tri-linear, exponential and power curve have been presented with appropriate expressions. Size effect has been accounted for by modifying the Paris law, leading to a size adjusted Paris law, which gives crack length increment per cycle as a power function of the amplitude of a size adjusted stress intensity factor (SIF). Details of tension softening effects and size effect in the computation of SIF and remaining life prediction have been presented. Numerical studies have been conducted on three point bending concrete beams under constant amplitude loading. The predicted remaining life values with the combination of tension softening & size effects are in close agreement with the corresponding experimental values available in the literature for all the tension softening models.

Effect of corrosion characteristics in relation to loaded stress in the welded zone of A5083-H116 aluminum alloy, in the seawater was studied. The corrosion experiment was performed for 120 hours on the specimens in the natural seawater tank with four steps of the loaded stress. The corrosion crack, corrosion rate, electrode potential, current, and corrosion pattern, etc. were examined for the specimens with the elapse of the immersion time. The main result derived from this study is the crack growth length is increased with the increasing loaded stress. The electrode potential and the corrosion current are decreased rapidly in the early stage of the corrosion, and then decreased gradually and stabilized eventually with the elapse of the immersion time. The test condition of the longer crack growth tends to show the higher corrosion rate. Corrosion pattern of the welded zone indicates that the depth and width of the pitting become increasing with the increasing loaded stress.

Due to fast growth in urbanisation, a highly developed infrastructure is essential for economic growth and prosperity. One of the major problems is to preserve, maintain, and retrofit these structures. To meet the requirements of construction industry, the basic information on all the mechanical properties of various concretes is essential. This paper presents the details of development of various concretes, namely, normal strength concrete (around 50 MPa), high strength concrete (around 85 MPa) and ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) (around 120 MPa) including their mechanical properties. The various mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, fracture energy and tensile stress vs crack width have been obtained from the respective test results. It is observed from the studies that a higher value of compressive strength, split tensile strength and fracture energy is achieved in the case of UHSC, which can be attributed to the contribution at different scales viz., at the meso scale due to the fibers and at the micro scale due to the close packing of grains which is on account of good grading of the particles. Micro structure of UHSC mix has been examined for various magnifications to identify the pores if any present in the mix. Brief note on characteristic length and brittleness number has been given.

암석은 지질학적 생성과정으로 인해 잠재적으로 많은 구조적 결함을 내포하고 있는 재료이다. 이러한 구조적 결함으로 인해 압축하중을 받고 있는 암석의 변형거동 및 파괴는 비선형적이다. 지금까지의 연구들에서는 암석의 비선형 거동을 모사하기 위해 균열모형, 즉 활주균열모형 (Sliding crack model) 과 전단균열모형 (Shear crack model) 을 사용하였다. 이 연구들에서는 암석의 비선형 응력-변형률 곡선과 균열성장으로 인해 발생되는 유효탄성정수들 ($E_1$, $E_2$, ${\nu}_1$, ${\nu}_2$, $G_2$) 의 변화와 같은 여러 가지 암석 거동을 모사하였다 (Kemeny, 1993; Jeon, 1996, 1998). 대부분의 이러한 연구들은 주로 균열모형의 암석거동의 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증하는데 그쳤으며 지하공간이나 사면설계 등의 실제적인 수치해석을 목적으로 균열모형을 적용한 연구는 그다지 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 암석의 비선형 응력 변형률 곡선을 모사함으로써 균열모형의 암석에의 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증하며 실제적인 수치해석, 즉 상용되고 있는 유한요소해석 프로그램에 균열모형을 적용하였다.

본 논문에서는 불균일한 접착 상태를 가지는 복합재 접착 체결 시편에 대하여 모드 I 하중에서의 파괴 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 Double Cantilever Beam(DCB) 시험을 수행하였으며 모드 I 파괴 인성을 도출하였다. 불균일한 접착 상태를 갖는 시편의 경우 안정한 균열 성장 구간과 불안정한 균열 성장 구간이 나타남을 확인하였다. DCB 시험에서 구한 하중-변위 선도와 시편의 파손 단면을 통해 각 구간의 파괴 특성을 관찰하였다. 시험에서 측정된 균열 길이를 기준으로 세분화된 구간과 각 구간의 모드 I 파괴 인성을 이용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. DCB 시험 결과와 유한요소해석 결과를 통해 불균일한 접착 상태를 가지는 시편의 파괴 거동을 모사할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The infrastructures such as offshore, bridges, power plant, oil and gas piping and aircraft operate in a harsh environment during their service life. Structural integrity of engineering components used in these industries is paramount for the reliability and economics of operation. Two regression models based on the concept of Gaussian process regression (GPR) and Minimax probability machine regression (MPMR) were developed to predict stress intensity factor range (𝚫K). Both GPR and MPMR are in the frame work of probability distribution. Models were developed by using the fatigue crack growth data in MATLAB by appropriately modifying the tools. Fatigue crack growth experiments were carried out on Eccentrically-loaded Single Edge notch Tension (ESE(T)) specimens made of API 5L X65 Grade steel in inert and corrosive environments (2.0% and 3.5% NaCl). The experiments were carried out under constant amplitude cyclic loading with a stress ratio of 0.1 and 5.0 Hz frequency (inert environment), 0.5 Hz frequency (corrosive environment). Crack growth rate (da/dN) and stress intensity factor range (𝚫K) values were evaluated at incremental values of loading cycle and crack length. About 70 to 75% of the data has been used for training and the remaining for validation of the models. It is observed that the predicted SIF range is in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations. Further, the performance of the models was assessed with several statistical parameters, namely, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Coefficient of Efficiency (E), Root Mean Square Error to Observation's Standard Deviation Ratio (RSR), Normalized Mean Bias Error (NMBE), Performance Index (ρ) and Variance Account Factor (VAF).

항공기 터빈 디스크에 사용될 수 있는 니켈기 초내열 분말야금 합금의 피로균열진전 거동이 실제운전 환경을 고려하여 상온 및 $650^{\circ}C$에서 연구되었다. ASTM E647에서 제시하는 직류전위차법을 이용하여 실시간으로 균열의 진전을 측정하였다. 또한 피로균열진전 시험은 응력비 0.1과 0.5의 두가지 조건에서 수행되었다. 시험결과들은 응력비와 온도 조건 모두 피로균열진전 거동에 영향이 있음을 보여주었으며, 응력비와 온도가 증가함에 따라, 니켈기 초내열 분말 야금 합금의 피로균열성장 속도는 증가하게 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 니켈기 초내열 분말 야금 합금은 현재 개발 중인 소재로써 보다 정량적인 시험결과의 분석을 위해, 본 연구의 피로균열진전 시험결과와 기존에 연구된 Inconel-100 소재의 피로균열진전거동에 대한 상호 비교분석이 수행되었다. 피로균열진전 파단면의 분석은 SEM 촬영을 통하여 수행하였다.
