Fatigue crack growth from surface defects is one of the most important subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety in pressure vessels, piping systems, LPG/LNG fuel tank and other various structures. This paper attempts to analysis some practical or general problems such as the estimation of crack growth life to penetrate the plate thickness, based on fatigue crack growth a single surface flaw and the interaction of multiple flaws. An experiment on the coalescence of multiple undercuts was carried out under cyclic tension condition as a attempt to the analysis of multiple crack problems. It is noted that the fracture strength is characterized by the analogy to that in a single crack growth.

Thermal shock resistance of $Al_2O_3$- and Fe-$Al_2TiO_5$-based Castable Refractories was studied using a central heating technique. Ring type specimens, 10mm thick and 20 and 100mm inner and outer diameters, respectively, were rapidly heated on the internal surface of the centre hole using a high power electrical heating element. The temperature field was measured experimentally and modelled using finite element analysis (FEA). The thermal stress field was also modelled using FEA. A radial notch was introduced to the ring specimens to enable calculation of the thermal stress intensity factors (SIF). A special LVDT device was incorporated in the thermal shock tester to monitor crack mouth opening displacement (COD). The thermal shock fracture initiation and crack propagation behaviour of the castable refractories were ascertained using the COD measurements and the fracture mechanics analysis data.

Austenitic stainless steel has been investigated widely for creep strength of heat resistant material and effects of grain sizes due to various solution treatment time under constant temperature. It was studied that effects of grain sizes subject to solution treatment temperature 1100.deg. C, 1125.deg. C, 1175.deg. C, 1250.deg C, and 1300.deg. C respectively on the creep strength, fracture behaviour and fractography of SUS 316 stainless steel. The experimental results obtained were as follows. 1. The optimum grain size for the maximum creep strength did not vary with creep testing temperatures and stress levels. 2. Among various grain sizes due to different solution treatment temperature, the optimum grain size for the creep strength was found 0.044mm. Also the size showed the minimum initial strain regardless creep temperature. 3. Garofalo's equation of creep rupture life was applied well to SUS 316 stainless steel. 4. The fractography of optimum size was ductile intergranular fracture of dimple type and showed along with the increase of grain size intergranular fracture of w type.

The investigate the effect of fiber orientation on the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics three prepregs which are domestic products are used in this paper. Those are used for the unidirectional composites, but only one is used for the cross-ply laminate composites which is molded $[0/90]_{6s},\;[0/45]_{6s},\;and\;[0/45/90]_{4s}$. The specimens used for the mode I and mode II Tests are DCB and ENF samples are examined by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The value of $G_{IC}$ is almost same when modified three calculating methods are applied. The highest value of $G_{IC}$at crack initiation is obtained at the $[0/90]_{6s}$ interlaminar and the lowest one is at the $[0/45/90]_{4s}$ interlaminar. The highest value of $G_{IIC}$ at crack initiation, however, is obtained at the $[0/90]_{6s}$ interlaminar and the lowest one is at the $[0/45]_{6s}$. The photographs of SEM show a difference behaviour between mode I and mode II fracture surface.

AISI 316 steel has been used extensively for heater and boiler tube of the structural plants such as power, chemical and petroleum plants under severe operating conditions. Usually, material degradation due to microcrack or precipitation of carbides and segregation of impurity elements, is occured by damage accumulated for long-term service at high temperature in this material. In this study, the effect of aging time on fracture toughness was investigated to evaluate the measurement of material degradation. The elastic-plastic fracture toughness behaviour of AISI 316 steel pipe aged at $550^{\circ}C$for 1h-10000h (the aged material) was characterized using the single specimen J-R curve technique and eletric potential drop method at normal loading rate(load-line displacement speed of 0.2mm/min) in room temperature and air environment. The fracture toughness data from above experiments is compared with the $J_{in}$ obtained from predicted values of crack initiation point using potential drop method.

The loading capacity of engineering structures/components reduces after the initiation and propagation of crack eventually leads to the final failure. Hence, it becomes essential to deal with the crack and its effects at the design and simulation stages itself, by detecting the prone area of the fracture. The phase-field (PF) method has been accepted widely in simulating fracture problems in complex geometries. However, most of the PF methods are formulated with second order continuity theoryinvolving C⁰ continuity. In the present study, PF method based on fourth-order (i.e., higher order) theory, maintaining C¹ continuity has been proposed for ductile fracture simulation. The formulation includes fourth-order derivative terms of phase field variable, varying between 0 and 1. Applications of fourth-order PF theory to ductile fracture simulation resulted in novelty in this area. The proposed formulation is numerically solved using a two-dimensional finite element (FE) framework in 3-layered manner system. The solutions thus obtained from the proposed fourth order theory for different benchmark problems portray the improvement in the accuracy of the numerical results and are well matched with experimental results available in the literature. These results are also compared with second-order PF theory and a comparison study demonstrated the robustness of the proposed model in capturing ductile behaviour close to experimental observations.

The failure behaviours of unidirectional pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites were monitored by the electrical resistance measurement during tensile loading, three-point-bending, interlaminar shear loading. The tensile failure behaviour of carbon fiber tows was also investigated by the electrical resistance measurement. Infrared thermography non-destructive evaluation was performed in real time during tensile test of CFRP composites to validate the change of microdamage in the materials. Experiment results demonstrated that the CFRP composites and carbon fiber tows were damaged by different damage mechinsms during tensile loading, for the CFRP composites, mainly being in the forms of matrix damage and the debonding between matrix and fibers, while for the carbon fiber tows, mainly being in the forms of fiber fracture. The correlation between the infrared thermographs and the change in the electrical resistance could be regarded as an evidence of the damage mechanisms of the CFRP composites. During three-point-bending loading, the main damage forms were the simultaneity fracture of matrix and fibers firstly, then matrix cracking and the debonding between matrix and fiber were carried out. This results can be shown in Fig. 9(a) and (b). During interlaminar shear loading, the change in the electrical resistance was related to the damage degree of interlaminar structure. Electrical resistance measurement was more sensitive to the damage behaviour of the CFRP composites than the stress/time curve.

터널구조물의 안정성 최종평가는 굴착완료 후 현장계측을 수행하여 계측값의 수렴 여부를 통해 판단하는 것이 일반적 평가 기준이다. 본 연구에서는 굴착하는 터널 주변 지반조건이 불량하여 터널 안정성 확보를 위한 보강을 적용한 후 국부적으로 보강구간에서 추가적인 붕락 또는 과다변위가 발생한 터널현장시공 사례의 해석적 방법과 상관성을 분석하였다. 추가 붕락터널에서 붕락유형을 조사해 보면 대부분 천단부 붕락이 발생하고 붕락된 구간에 대한 지질적인 조건을 분석해보면 천단부에서 지표부 인근까지 연장되어 존재하는 단층파쇄대가 존재하는 경우와 상관성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와같이 단층파쇄대와 같은 지반조건이 터널 천단부에서 지표부 인근까지 연장성을 가지는 경우에는 기존 수치해석적 방법으로 예측한 거동보다 더 큰 거동을 하는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 논문에서는 CFRP로 구성된 항공 드론 프레임의 수직 낙하충격으로 인한 CFRP적층구조에서의 파손거동을 해석적 연구를 통해 파악하였다. 기존 플라스틱 재료와 달리 CFRP는 섬유로 구성되어 파손거동이 복잡하다. 따라서 이에 대한 실험에 앞서 해석적 연구를 통해 선행 연구가 중요하다. 본 연구의 결과로서 기존의 연구모델과 비교하여 보면, 같은 조건으로 중앙 노치구멍을 가진 적층된 CFRP 드론 프레임의 해석모델에서 가해진 응력의 값이 크게 줄어듬을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 드론프레임의 노치구멍에 관한 기반데이터를 융합기술에 접목함으로서 그 미적인 감각을 나타낼 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture toughness of dental composite resins and to investigate the filler factor affecting the fracture behaviour on which the degree of fracture toughness depends. Six kinds of commercially available composite resin;, including two of each macrofilled, microfilled, and hybrid type were used for this study, The plane strain fracture toughness ($K_{10}$) was determined by three-point bending test using the single edge notch specimen according to the ASTM-E399. The specimens were fabricated with visible light curing or self curing of each composite resin previously inserted into a metal mold, and three-point bending test was conducted with cross-head speed of 0.1mm/min following a day's storage of the specimens in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water. The filler volume fractions were determined by the standard ashing test according to the ISO-4049. Acoustic Emission(AE), a nondestructive testing method detecting the elastic wave released from the localized sources In material under a certain stress, was detected during three-point bending test and its analyzed data was compared with, canning electron fractographs of each specimen. The results were as follows : 1. The filler content of composite resin material was found to be highest in the hybrid type followed by the macrofilled type, and the microfilled type. 2. It was found that the value of plane strain fracture toughness of composite resin material was in the range from 0.69 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ to 1 46 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ and highest In the macrofilled type followed by the hybrid type, and the microfilled type. 3. The consequence of Acoustic Emission analysis revealed that the plane strain fracture toughness increased according as the count of Acoustic Emission events increased. 4. The higher the plane strain fracture toughness became, the higher degree of surface roughness and irregularity the fractographs demonstrated.
