본 연구에서는 요소를 사용하지 않고 절점들만을 이용하여 해석이 가능한 새로운 수치해석기법인 EFG(Element-Free Galerkin)법을 사용하여 임의의 균열의 성장과정을 해석할 수 있는 효율적인 알고리즘을 개발하고, 이를 바탕으로 균열의 성장방향과 경로를 정확히 추정하여 일련의 균열진전해석을 수행할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 균열해석에 있어서는 균열선단의 특이성과 균열면의 분연속성을 수치적으로 반영할 수 있는 기법을 도입하여 균열을 모형화하였으며, 선형탄성파괴역학이론에 근거하여 균열해석과정을 정식화하였다. 또한, EFG 형상함수가 kronecker delta 조건을 만족시키지 못함으로써 발생하는 필수경계조건의 처리문제를 penalty법을 이용하여 해결하였다. 개발된 균열진전해석 알고리즘을 정지상태와 성장하는 상태에 있는 모드 Ⅰ, 모드 Ⅱ 및 혼합모드상태의 대표적인 균열문제들에 적용하여 응력확대계수와 균열성장방향 및 균열의 성장경로를 추정하고 이를 이론적·실험적 결과들과 비교함으로써 그 정확성과 효율성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 요소를 사용하지 않는 새로운 해석방법인 EFG(Element-Free Galerkin)법을 사용하여 복수의 초기균열을 지닌 강재가 반복피로하중을 받는 경우 균열들이 점진적으로 성장하여 부재가 파단에 이르는 과정을 해석적으로 규명하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 일반적인 피로균열성장법칙을 EFG법을 이용한 균열해석 알고리즘에 적용하여 복수의 균열들이 각각의 응력상태에 따라 차별적으로 성장해 나가는 과정을 해석할 수 있는 알고리즘을 도입하고 이를 바탕으로 다양한 하중상태하에서 복수의 균열들의 성장경로를 추정함과 동시에 이에 따른 잔존수명을 산정할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 해석방법을 피로균열 발생빈도가 큰 몇가지의 강부재 형태에 적용해 본 결과 다수균열 함유 부재의 피로균열 성장거동과 균열들의 피로수명을 성공적으로 예측할 수 있었다.

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%.

In this study, numerical analysis is applied to a two - dimensional model for verifying the general finite element program, Abaqus' s extended finite element method(XFEM). The cohesive element model used in the existing research has a limitation in simulating the actual crack because of the disadvantage that the crack path should be predicted and the element should be inserted. For this reason, the extended finite element method(XFEM), which predicts the path of cracks based on the directionality and specificity of stress, is emerging as a new solution in crack analysis. The validity of the XFEM application was confirmed by comparing the cohesive element analysis with the XFEM analysis by applying the crack path to the self - evident two - dimensional model. Numerical analysis confirms stress distribution and stress specificity immediately before crack initiation and compares it with actual crack initiation path. Based on this study, it is expected that cracks can be simulated by performing actual crack propagation analysis of complex models.

A new path independent contour integral formulus for the distinct calculation of mode I stress intensity factors in two dimensional linear elastic fracture mechanics problems is presented. This method is based on p-convergence concepts and can be easily appended to existing finite element computer codes. In this study, the stress state at crack tip has been investigated and the path independence of J-integral values has been tested with respect to different contours expressed by normalized distance apart from the crack tip. Numerical results by p-convergence for the problems such as centrally cracked panels, single and double edged cracks in rectangular panels have been compared with those by the conventional h-convergence. The comparison demonstrates the accuracy and stability of the proposed method.

The vulnerability of concrete to its environment is significantly dependent on the fact that concrete is a porous material. For well-consolidated and well-cured concrete, its service life is a very long and an entrance of aggressive substance might be only pores. However, for cracked concrete, cracks should be preferential channel for the penetration of aggressive substance such as chloride ions. The effect of crack on chloride penetration depends on its size for example, crack width and crack depth. The purpose of this study is examining the effect of crack width and crack depth on chloride penetration. In order to visualize chloride penetration via cracks, RCM (rapid chloride migration) testing is accomplished. Crack width is examined using an optical microscope and CMOD value is used to estimate average crack width. From the examination on the trend of chloride diffusion coefficients of concrete specimens with various crack widths, a critical crack width and a critical crack depth are found out.

V-노치 균열에서 열하중이 작용하는 경우는 비제차형 경계조건의 문제가 되고, 이 조건에 대한 방정식의 일반해를 구하기 위해서 재차형 연립방정식에 대한 일반해(Homogeneous solution)와 비제차형 연립방정식에 대한 특수해(Particular solution)의 두 가지 해를 구할 수 있다. 이들 해는 V-노치 균열에 대한 고유치가 되고 이 고유치가 중복근을 가지게 되는 경우에는 로그항(1n[r])이 나타나게 되고 이 항에 의해서 응력을 무한대로 발산시키므로 이를 대수응력특이성이라 한다. 열하중이 작용할 때 대수응력특이성을 나타내는 로그항의 계수가 영(0)이 되어 대수응력특이성이 사라지게 되므로 V-노치 선단에서의 응력특이성은 고유치와 그에 대한 고유벡터에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 비정상상태 열하중이 가해지는 등방성 이종재료 내의 V-노치 균열문제에서 패기 각도와 이종재료의 기계적 성질에 의해 결정되는 응력특이성지수를 구하고 이에 대한 응력강도계수를 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS와 상반일 경로 적분법(RWCIM)을 이용하여 구하였다.

Fracture of Al2O3 tubes for different loading path under combined tension/torsion was investigated. Macroscopic directions of crack propagation agreed well with the maximum principal stress criterion, independent of the loading path. However, fracture strength from the proportional loading test(τ/σ= constant) showed either strengthening or weakening compared to that from uniaxial tension, depending on the ratio τ/σ. The Weibull theory was capable to predict the strengthening of fracture strength in pure torsion, but not the weakening in the proportional loading condition. The strengthening or weakening of fracture strength in the proportional loading condition was explained by the effect of shear stresses in the plane of randomly oriented microdefects. Finally, a new empirical fracture criterion was proposed. This criterion is based on a mixed mode fracture criterion and experimental data for fracture of Al2O3 tubes under combined tension/torsion. The proposed fracture criterion agreed well with experimental data for both macroscopic directions of crack propagation and fracture strengths.

SiCp/6061AI 복합재료의 파괴인성을 평가하기 위하여 정적파괴인성에 대해서는 복수시험편법을, 동적파괴인성시험에 대해서는 stop block법을 실시하였다. 주균열은 예비균열의 선단에서 시험편두께방향 전역에 걸쳐서 일시에 발생하는 것이 아니고, 균열발생의 초기단계에서 국부적으로 형성된 균열이 시험편두께방향으로의 균열의 확장을 완료한 후 주균열로 이행해 간다. 정적 및 동적시험에서 컴플라이언스변화율법에 의해 검출된 균열발생점은 균열확장의 완료점과 거의 일치하고 있기 때문에 본 재료의 파괴인성 결정에 유효하다. 본 재료에서 동적파괴인성치는 정적파괴인성치보다 크게 나타났다. 이것은 동적충격시 입자파괴에 의한 에너지의 흡수.분산효과와 균열진전경로의 큰 편향에 기인한다고 생각된다.

The fracture mechanics analysis of a crack in a weld must consider residual stress generated during welding. The standard definition of the J-integral requires a path dependent value in the presence of a residual stress field. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a path independent J-integral definition for a crack in a residual stress field. This paper addresses the modification of the Rice-J-integral to produce a path- independent J-integral when residual stresses and external forces are present. The residual stress problem is treated as an initial strain problem and the J-integral proposed for this type of problems is used. A program which can evaluate the J-integral for a crack in a weld is developed using the proposed J-integral definition. The situation when only residual stress is present is examined as is the case when mechanical stresses are applied in conjunction with a residual stress.
