The relationship between fatigue crack growth behavior and cyclic crack tip opening displacement is studied. An elastic-plastic finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to examine the growth behavior of fatigue crack, where the contact elements are used in the mesh of the crack tip area. We investigate the relationship between the reversed plastic zone size and the changes of the cyclic crack tip opening displacement along the crack growth. We investigate the effect of the element size when predict fatigue crack opening behavior using the cyclic crack tip opening displacement obtained from FEA. The cyclic crack tip opening displacement is related to fatigue crack opening behavior.

The objective of this paper is to develop a computational model for predicting the fatigue propagation of collinear multiple surface cracks under constant amplitude and variable amplitude loadings. After examining fatigue crack growth behavior for CT specimens and single surface crack specimens, empirical equations of(11) and(12) are proposed for the prediction of fatigue life in a multiple surface crack geometry. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified using a life prediction computer program. Several case studies were performed to check the accuracy of the proposed model and to verify the usefulness of the developed program. Good agreement is observed between the numerical results based on the proposed model and the published experimental data.

This work has been investigated the ralationship between single surface crack length and crack depth have influence on the fatigue life. The simulation based on experimental results of 2.25 Cr-1Mo steel at various crack configuration ratios has enabled successful prediction of fatigue life at room temperature. The effect of crack depth should be considered for predicting fatigue crack growth rates as well as that of surface crack length. It is also shwn that the crack growth mechanisms are in good agreement with expreimental data according to the interaction of crack length and crack depth.

As one of the serviceability limit states, the prediction and control of crack width in reinforced concrete bridges or PSC bridges are very important for the design of durable structures. However, the current bridge design specifications do not provide quantitative information for the prediction and control of crack width affected by the initiation and propagation of corrosion. Considering life span of concrete bridges, an improved control equation about the crack width affected by time-dependent general corrosion is proposed. The developed corrosion and crack width control models can be used for the design and the maintenance of prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcements by varying time, w/c, cover depth, and geometries of the sections. It can also help the rational criteria for the quantitative management and the prediction of remaining life of concrete structures.

Power plant Piping operating at elevated temperature often fails prematurely by the growth of microcracks under creep conditions. Therefore, the life assessment of high temperature components that contain cracks is an important technological problem. The mechanisms of crack growth in simple metals and alloys have been investigated using both mechanical and microstructural approaches. In this study, life prediction accounting for creep, crack growth and thermal stress is analyzed.

An elastic-plastic finite element analysis is performed to investigate detailed closure behavior of fatigue cracks and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The finite element analysis performed under plane stress using 4-node isoparametric elements can predict fatigue crack closure behavior. The mesh of constant element size along crack surface can not predict the opening level of fatigue crack. The crack opening level for the constant mesh size increases linearly from initial crack growth. The crack opening level for variable mesh size, is almost flat after crack tip has passed the monotonic plastic zone. The prediction of crack opening level using the variable mesh size proportioning the reversed plastic zone size with the opening stress intensity factors presents a good agreement with the experimental data regardless of stress ratios.

사용성 한계상태로서의 균열폭 예측에 관한 현재의 교량설계 시방기준은, 부식의 시작과 진행에 의한 균열폭을 고려할 때 이론적으로 불충분하다. 균열폭은 하중, 부착, 미끄러짐, 그리고 철근이나 긴장재의 부식에 영향을 받게 된다. 콘크리트 교량의 생애주기 동안의 시간 의존적 일반부식을 고려하여, 균열폭 예측식을 제안하였다. 개발된 부식모델과 균열예측식은 프리스트레스트 콘크리트교량과 일반콘크리트교량의 설계시 시간단계별로 물-시멘트 비, 피복두께, 단면형상의 변화에 따른 극한한계상태와 사용성한계상태의 평가에 사용될 수 있다. 또한 기존교량의 시간단계별 극한 한계상태 및 사용성한계 상태의 평가를 통해서 정량적인 유지관리 및 잔존수명예측에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

In characteristics of fatigue crack propagation, it is important that fatigue life is affected by crack closure phenomenon in thin sheet Al alloy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation in constant loading condition for sheet Al 2024-T3 alloy of two sort of thickness and identify the difference of fatigue life in thin sheet specimen comparing experimental results of thin sheet specimen and relatively thick sheet specimen under same fatigue loading condition. In applying fatigue related material constants from fatigue crack propagation analysis, we attempt to operate the fatigue life estimating process of thin sheet specimen by modified Paris‘ law considering crack closure phenomenon and analyze the experimental and prediction results of fatigue life in thin sheet Al alloy.

Single overload fatigue tests with overload sizes ranging from 50% and 100% have been performed to investing ate the fatigue crack growth retardation behavior. A modified and experimental method of Willenborg's model for prediction of crack growth retardation behavior has been developed, based on evaluations of equivalent plastic zone size (EPZS) changing its size along the overload plastic zone boundary. The minimum crack growth rates of each overload size are linearly decreased with overload size increasing, but fatigue lives extended by single overload are increasing much more unlike the crack growth rates. Comparisons of crack growth behavior predicted by EPZS model and Willenborg model have shown that the EPZS model accounts for overload effects better than Willenborg model. These effects include delayed retardation, large retardation region, minimum crack growth rate, and the increase rate of crack growth rate in the region crack growth rate recovered.
