Abstract

To estimate the fatigue crack propagation behavior of compact tension shear (CTS) specimen under mixed-mode loads, crack path prediction theories and Tanaka's equation were applied. The stress intensity factor at a newly created crack tip was calculated using a finite element method via ANSYS, and the crack path and crack increment were then obtained from the crack path prediction theories, Tanaka's equation, and the Paris' equation, which were preprogrammed in Microsoft Excel. A new method called the finite element crack tip updating method (FECTUM) was developed. In this method, the finite element method and Microsoft Excel are used to calculate the stress intensity factors and the crack path, respectively, at the crack tip per each crack increment. The developed FECTUM was applied to simulate the fatigue crack propagation of a single-edge notched bending (SENB) specimen under eccentric three-point bending loads. The results showed that the number of cycles to failure of the specimen obtained experimentally and numerically were in good agreement within an error range of less than 3%.

혼합모드 피로하중을 받는 균열을 갖은 CTS 시편에 대하여 균열경로 예측이론과 Tanaka 의 등가 응력확대계수식을 적용하여 피로균열진전거동을 평가하였다. 새롭게 생성되는 균열선단의 응력확대계수 산정은 ANSYS 를 이용한 유한요소법을 통해 이루어졌고, 균열경로와 균열증분은 마이크로소프트 엑셀에 프로그래밍한 균열경로예측식과 Paris 식으로 계산되었다. 균열증분으로 새롭게 생성된 균열선단의 기하학적인 정보는 엑셀의 기능을 이용해 ANSYS 의 KSCON 명령어가 인식할 수 있게 변화시켜 균열모델링을 용이하게 하였다. 반복적인 균열해석을 위해 유한요소법과 엑셀을 결합한 FECTUM(Finite Element Crack Tip Updating Method)을 개발하였다. 개발된 FECTUM 을 편측 3 점 굽힘을 통해 혼합모드의 구현이 가능한 SENB 시편(Single Edge Notched Bend Specimen)에 적용해본 결과, 균열경로는 물론 파단될 때까지의 피로하중 반복수의 차이가 3% 미만으로 잘 일치하는 모습을 보여, 개발된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.
