Abstract

This paper deals with the statistical properties of parameters B and q in the creep crack growth rate (CCGR) law, da/dt=B$(C^*)^q$, in Mod. 9Cr-1Mo (ASME Gr.91) steel which is considered a candidate materials for fabricating next generation nuclear reactors. The CCGR data were obtained by creep crack growth (CCG) tests performed on 1/2-inch compact tension (CT) specimens under an applied load of 5000N at a temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. The CCG behavior was analyzed statistically using the empirical equation between CCGR, da/dt and the creep fracture mechanics parameter, $C^*$. The B and q values were determined for each specimen by the least-squares fitting method. The probability distribution functions for B and q were investigated using normal, log-normal, and Weibull distributions. As far as this study is considered, it can be appeared that B and q followed the log-normal and Weibull distributions. Moreover, a strong positive linear correlation was found between B and q.

본 연구는 차세대 원자로의 후보 재료인 수정 9Cr-1Mo 강에 대한 크리프 균열 성장률 법칙, da/dt=B$(C^*)^q$의 파라메터 B와 q에 대한 통계적 성질에 대하여 취급하였다. 본 해석에 이용된 크리프 균열 성장 데이터는 $600^{\circ}C$의 일정 온도에서 5000N의 동일 하중하의 1/2 CT 시험편에 대하여 크리프 균열 성장 실험을 수행하였다. 크리프 균열 성장 거동은 크리프 균열 성장률 da/dt 와 파괴역학 파라메터 $C^*$와의 실험적 관계식으로부터 통계적으로 해석하였다. 각각의 시험편에 대한 파라메터 B와 q는 최소자승법에 의하여 결정하였다. B와 q에 대한 확률분포함수를 정규분포, 대수정규분포 그리고 와이블분포에 대하여 조사하였다. 본 연구에 의하면, B와 q의 확률분포함수는 대수정규분포와 와이블분포에 비교적 잘 따름을 알았다. 또한 이들 사이에는 강한 양의 선형적인 상관이 있음을 알았다.
