The effects of room temperature and strain aging treatment are discussed on the critical condition for the onset of growth of non-propagating cracks on 0.15% C low carbon steel, with special emphasis on the length of the critical non-propagating crack and on the crack opening displacement(COD) at the crack tip. It is found from the experimental analysis that room temperature and strain aging of a fatigue pre-cracked specimen introduced the closure of a crack tip of the pre-crack and the reduction of crack opening displacement at the wake of crack, together with an improvement in crack growth resistance of the microstructure. This may cause an increase in the endurance limit of the specimen, through the enhancement of effective stress for the onset of growth of the critical non-propagating crack.

In this study, the propagation behaviour and the closure phenomena of physically small surface cracks were investigated by the techinque of the Kikukawa-unloading elastic compliance method using a back face strain gage. The surface cracks initiated and propagated from notched specimens under constant amplitude bending load. The crack shape (aspect ratio) with approximately semi-circular at the early stage was changed to semi-elliptical as the cracks grew larger. The crack depth (a) could be expressed uniquenly by the crack length (c). The dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was strongly related in the lower ${\Delta}K$ range. The deceleration of the surface crack propagation rate was prominent in lower R during the crack length was small. When the propagation rate was rearranged with the effective stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}$K_{eff} the dependence of the crack propagation rate on the stress ratio R was found to be diminshed. These were caused by the crack closure phenomena that was most prominent at the lower propagation rate. The mechanism of crack closure phenomena was dominated by the plasticity-induced mechanism.

암석은 지질학적 생성과정으로 인해 많은 역학적 결함을 포함하고 있으며 이러한 결함 사이에는 암석 브릿지가 존재하게 된다. 이러한 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 전파 및 결합(coalescence)과정은 사면, 기초, 터널 등의 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 단축압축 하에서 균열의 형상변화에 따른 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 개시, 전파 및 결합거동 변화에 대해 알아보았다. 여산 대리석을 재료로 120$\times$60$\times$25 mm크기의 시료에 균열각도 $\alpha$, 브릿지각도 $\beta$, 균열길이 2c, 브릿지길이 2b를 변화시키면서 2개의 인공균열을 제작하였다. 하중을 가하면서 날개형 균열개시응력, 날개형 균열 전파각도, 균열결합 응력을 측정하였으며 균열결합 유형을 정리하였다. 또한, 정규화된 최대강도(normalized peak strength)를 구하여 Ashby & Hallam 모형 (1986)의 이론해와 비교, 분석 하였다.

Static and cyclic fatigue tests were carried out for alumina specimen to study the statistical analyses (normal, lognormal and Weibull distribution) of fatigue lifetime data and nominal initial crack length data. Fatigue lifetime data followed Weibull distribution better than normal or lognormal distribution, for the shape parameter of the notched specimen was larger than that of the unnotched specimen. The nominal initial crack length data obtained from fatigue lifetime followed the lognormal and Weibull distribution better than normal distribution, for the coefficient of variation of the unnotched specimen was larger than that of the notched specimen, and shape parameter of unnotched specimen was smaller than that of the notched specimen.

This paper investigated the damage transition mechanism between the fiber-breaking mode and the fiber-avoiding crack mode when the fiber-length is reduced in the unidirectional discontinuous carbon fiber-reinforced-plastics (CFRP) composites. The critical fiber-length for the transition is a key parameter for the manufacturing of flexible and high-strength CFRP composites with thermoset resin, because below this limit, we cannot take full advantage of the superior strength properties of fibers. For this discussion, we presented a numerical model for the microscopic damage and fracture of unidirectional discontinuous fiber-reinforced plastics. The model addressed the microscopic damage generated in these composites; the matrix crack with continuum damage mechanics model and the fiber breakage with the Weibull model for fiber strengths. With this numerical model, the damage transition behavior was discussed when the fiber length was varied. The comparison revealed that the length of discontinuous fibers in composites influences the formation and growth of the cluster of fiber-end damage, which causes the damage mode transition. Since the composite strength is significantly reduced below the critical fiber-length for the transition to fiber-avoiding crack mode, we should understand the damage mode transition appropriately with the analysis on the cluster growth of fiber-end damage.

This study focuses on the crack-healing behavior and bending strength of SiC ceramics with sintering additives of $SiO_2$colloid. Optimized crack-healing condition was found to be 1hr at an atmosphere of 1373 K. The maximum crack size that can be healed at the optimized condition was a semi-elliptical surface crack of $450{\mu}m$ in diameter. After heat treatment at the optimum temperature in air, the crack morphology almost entirely disappeared and the strength recovered to the value of the smooth specimens at room temperature for the investigated crack sizes up to $450{\mu}m$. The crack with width $1.4{\mu}m$ can be completely heal the surface crack.

A simultaneous analytical, experimental and numerical analysis of crack initiation, propagation and breaking process of the Central Straight through Crack Brazilian Disk (CSCBD) specimens under diametrical compression is carried out. Brazilian disc tests are being accomplished to evaluate the fracturing process based on stress intensity factors (SIFs). The effects of crack inclination angle and crack length on the fracturing processes have been investigated. The same experimental specimens have been numerically modeled by a higher order indirect boundary element method (HDDM). These numerical results are compared with the existing experimental results proving the accuracy and validity of the proposed numerical method.
