In this study rotating bending fatigue tests have been carried out with the deep non-through radial holed notch specimens of low carbon steels(SM 22C). It is investigated that the behaviors of surface and interior fatigue crack propagation and the variations of the shape of the cracked surface on the magnitude of bending stresses. The Obtained results are summarized as follows. (1) The relations between [Crack length] and [Cycle ratio] are expressed by following eq. in the 0.1~0.6 range of N/ $N_{f}$ long[ crack length] = A + B [N/ $N_{f}$ ] In case of surface crack length, values of A and B are uniformed independent upon the magnitude of bending stress, but those are variable according to the magnitude of bending stress for interior crack length. (2) The following eq. is derived on the surface crack propagation rate, bending stress and surface crack length. (dl/dN)=(3.94*10$^{-12}$ ).sigma.$^{4.54}$l (3) Under small stress, interior crack propagation rate increase with the interior crack growth but it decrease for large stress. (4) The shape of cracked surface depends upon the magnitude of bending stress. Under small stress fatigue crack propagates as an semi-ellipse with semi-major axis of surface crack length with semi-major axis of interior crack length for large stress.s.

This paper investigates the time-dependent crack growth in X20CrMoV 12 1 steel weld joints. Crack growth test are carried out $545^{\circ}C$ on side-grooved 1/2T CT specimens under static loads. A simulated material is produced for the intercritical HAZ, where fracture normally occurs. Constitutive properties are obtained for the simulated HAZ material as well as for the base metal and weld metal. Finite element analyses of crack growth are performed on the models with and without a HAZ layer, using the experimental crack length-time history. The inclusion of HAZ layer increase the load line velocities significantly. The crack growth rates are correlated reasonably well with $C^*$. The smallest crack size for the validity of $C^*$ is found much smaller than the ASTM crack initiation size for 1T CT specimen of creep ductile materials.

The creep crack growth properties in 3.3NiCrMoV steel were investigated at 55$0^{\circ}C$ by using CT specimen under constant load and constant Ct condition that was held during crack growth of Imm distance. Ct lelied on load line displacement rate, C＊usually increased with crack length though load is reduced in order to maintain constant Ct value as crack growth and appeared scatter band. At constant load and Ct region, crack growth slope was 0.900 and 0.844 each, on the other hand C＊ slope was 0.480. Fully coalesced area(FCA) ahead of crack tip increased as Ct increase to the critical value, and after that value FCA decreased. For the tertiary creep stage of crack growth test, the most of displacement was due to the steady state creep, except only small part due to the primary creep and other effects. Therefore, tests were mainly interrupted in the tertiary stage to obtain high value of Ct.

This study deals with the prediction of crack propagation in concrete mortar subjected to static and dynamic load. Total 54 CLWL-DCB(Crack-line-loaded-double-cantilever beam) concrete mortar specimens were tested to measure crack growth using ASTM 561-80. Main variables were sand to cement ratio and water to cement ratio. The resulting load(P)-COD(Crack Opening Displacement; $2V_1$) curves and COD-CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement; $2V_2$) curves were analyzed to calculate effective crack length and physical crack length by way of ASTM 561-80 proposed. Replica crack length were also obtained directly during the test. The differences in crack propagation between under static load and under dynamic load were investigated.

Although the previous researches evaluated the fatigue behavior of glass fiber/epoxy laminates using the traditional fracture mechanism, their researches were not sufficient to do it: the damage zone of glass fiber/epoxy laminates was occurred at the delamination zone instead of the crack-metallic damages. Thus, previous researches were not applicable to the fatigue behavior of glass fiber/epoxy laminates. The major purpose of this study was to evaluate delamination behavior using the relationship between crack length and delamination width in hybrid composite material such as Al/GFRP laminate. The details of investigation were as follows : 1) Relationship between crack length and delamination width, 2) Relationship between delamination aspect ratio and delamination area rate, 3) Variation of delamination growth rate is attendant on delamination shape factors. The test results indicated that the delamination growth rate depends on delamination width delamination aspect ratio and delamination shape factors.

The high-strength aluminum alloy 7075-T651 was used to observe the fatigue-crack-propagation behavior for the various stress ratios with constant amplitude loading and thus to predict the fatigue life. With a chevron notch in the specimen the fatigue-crack-propagation behavior of through crack was investigated. Crack propagation behavior of through crack in the depth direction and crack growth of weldments were experimentally studied. Base material heat affected zone and weld material were considered in the fracture of weldments. The change of crack-propagation length with respect to several parameters such as stress intensity factor range(ΔK) effective stress intensity factor range(ΔKeff)ration of effective stress intensity factor range(U) stress intensity factor of crack opening point(K op) maximum stress intensity factor(K max) and number of cycles(Nf)was determined. The crack length of through crack of weldments was 2.4mm and the remaining part was a base material. The experiment was accomplished by making the crack propagate near the base material.

This paper is to investigate the fatigue crack growth of plasma-sprayed coating steels according to heat treatments. The experimental materials are carbon steels(substrate: S45C) with plasma-sprayed coating layers of Ni-4.5%Al and $TiO_2$. The fatigue test is conducted on compact tension specimen by a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine. The specimens are heat-treated at $400^{\circ}C\;and\;800^{\circ}C$, respectively. Loading condition is a constant amplitude sinusoidal wave with a frequency of 10Hz and a load ratio of 0.1. The fatigue crack growth length is automatically measured by a compliance method. In the case of non-heat treated specimens, the fatigue crack growth rates of both substrate and coating specimen are almost same. The crack growth rates of substrates and coating steels by heat treatment are larger than those of the non-heat treated one, because the ductile property increase by heat treatment. In ${\Delta}K<18MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, the crack growth rates of the heat-treated specimens are slightly taster than non-heat treated one. But the both heated and non-heated one are almost same in ${\Delta}K>18MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$.

J-R curve tests were performed on 1T compact specimens of SA516 Gr. 70 carbon steels under reverse cyclic loading. A Direct-Current Potential Drop (DCPD) method, one of the nondestructive techniques to detect flaw of structure, is being increasingly used for monitoring crack initiation and stable crack growth in typical fracture mechanics specimens for J-R testing. In many aspects this method is simpler than the unloading compliance method. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the J-R Curve according to the crack length measurement techniques under reverse cyclic loading. In order to prove the reliability and repeatability of the DCPD method, the crack length measured by using DCPD method was compared to one determined from unloading compliance. Consequently, this DCPD method correlated well with J-R curves and crack extension measurements determined from unloading compliance method.
