Abstract
Using COD-R curves, instability of crack growth in ductile material is studied here. Tearing modulus $T_{\delta}$, based on the COA concept is defined and the instability criterion $T_{{\delta}{\app}}$> $T_{{\delta}{\mat}}$ is compared with experiments. Variations of the COD-R curve and the location of rotation center are experimentally investigated as the initial crack ratio varies. Three-point bend specimens of alloy steel SCM4 are used here and two clip-on gauges are installed in order to obtain the COD-R curve. The results show that the tearing modulus $T_{\delta}$ is a good measure to characterize the instability of crack growth. Also it is found that the location of rotation center is almost constant regardless of the initial crack ratio and the amount of the crack growth.
본 연구에서는 COA와 COD저항곡선의 기울기가 밀접한 관계가 있다는 점을 고려하여 COD저항곡선을 이용하여 현재까지 거의 연구결과가 없는 Ｔ$_{\delta}$에 의한 불안정균열성장문제를 검토하기로 하고, 이때 필요한 외부하중에 의한 부하 찢어짐계수 Ｔ$_{{\delta}{\app}}$ 의 평가방법에 대해서도 생각해 보기로 한다.한다.
