In this study, tensile tests were performed using standard and notched-bar specimens under two different displacement rates and various temperatures, in order to investigate the effects of the stress and strain concentration at the notched section on the dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of carbon steel piping material. In addition, finite element simulations were conducted to evaluate quantitatively the stress and strain states for both types of specimen under uniaxial tensile loading. The results showed that serration and an increase in tensile strength, which are considered to be evidence of DSA in carbon steels, can be observed from tensile tests for notched-bar specimens. It was also found that the temperature region of DSA observed in the notched-bar specimens was higher than the DSA region observed in the standard tensile specimens tested under the same displacement rate. The results of finite element analysis showed that this behavior is associated with the high strain rate at the notched section, which is caused by the stress and strain concentration.

In this study, intrinsic dynamic fracture toughness of 17-4PH casting steel is evaluated from the apparent dynamic fracture toughness of notched specimen. Notch radius of notched specimen is manufactured from 0.1mm to 4mm. The results shows that dynamic fracture toughness decreases with decreasing of notch root radius above critical notch roof radius. The true dynamic fracture toughness can be predicted from test results of apparent dynamic fracture toughness measured by using notched specimen.

The impact strength of material is considered the most important design factor for small and light products. Impact strength is a unique material property, thus the impact strength should not depend upon the geometry of specimen. However it varies according to specimen thickness, notching method, and notch shape. In this study, the variations of impact strength have been investigated according to thickness, notch shape, and notching method of specimen. Engineering plastics such as PC, ABS and POM have been used in this study. Experimental results showed impact strength increased as thickness decreasesd. PC showed the highest increment of impact strength when the thickness was thin. Fractured section of PC showed brittle fracture behavior when the specimen was thick. However it showed ductile fracture behavior when it was thin. The impact strength of in-mold notched specimen showed higher than that of milling notched specimen. PC showed the highest notch sensitivity among the materials used in this experiment.

During supersonic flight of vehicles, the thermal behavior of structures under high-temperature environment is important for thermal-structural design. In this study, full-field thermal deformation and stress concentration of the notched structure was performed using global-local multi-digital image correlation (multi-DIC) systems. This techniques were developed and implemented by multi-DIC systems consists of 2D DIC system and 3D DIC system. The specimen was heated in a heating chamber to achieve the thermal expansion behavior. Then the images of structure's deformation and stress concentration at various temperature were recorded and analyzed by multi-DIC system. Afterward, full-field thermal deformation of the notched structure was determined with DIC technique and stress concentration at the notched structure was calculated by further processing. Finite element analysis of the notched structure is performed in ABAQUS^TM and the results of the experiments show good agreement with those obtained from simulation. The results achieved in this study show the efficiency of the muilti-DIC method in thermal deformation as well as stress concentration of notched structure.

In this paper, fracture behavior of laminated composites with notch was studied by cohesive zone modeling approach. The numerical modeling proceeded by first generating 3 dimensional solid element meshes for notched laminated composite coupon configurations. Then cohesive elements representing failure modes of fiber fracture, matrix cracking and delamination were inserted between bulk elements in all regions where the corresponding failures were likely to occur. Next, progressive failure analyses were performed simulating uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical results were compared to those by experiment available in the literature for verification of the analysis approach. Finally, notched laminated composite configurations with selected stacking sequences were analyzed and the failure behavior was carefully examined focusing on the failure initiation and progression and the dominating failure modes.

For the last four decades, tension test of notched bars has been performed to investigate the effect of stress triaxiality on ductile fracture. To quantify the effect of the notch radius on stress triaxiality, the Bridgman equation is typically used. However, recent works based on detailed finite element analysis have shown that the Bridgman equation is not correct, possibly due to his assumption that strain is constant in the necked ligament. Up to present, no systematic work has been performed on fully plastic stress fields for notched bars in tension. This paper presents fully plastic results for tension of notched bars and plates in plane strain, via finite element limit analysis. The notch radius is systematically varied, covering both un-cracked and cracked cases. Comparison of plastic limit loads with existing solutions shows that existing solutions are accurate for notched plates, but not for notched bars. Accordingly new limit load solutions are given for notched bars. Variations of stress triaxiality with the notch radius and depth are also given, which again indicates that the Bridgman solution for notched bars is not correct and inaccuracy depends on the notch radius and depth.

In this paper, the effect of wrinkling on the failure behavior of thin membrane was studied using geometrically nonlinear shell element post-buckling analysis with global-local analysis strategy. In the analysis, double-edge notched and single-edge notched tensile specimen configurations were considered. The analyses were performed for both cases with allowing and suppressing the wrinkling deformation. The results were investigated focusing on the effect of wrinkle development on the variation of J-integral values at the cut tip. The effect of cut lengths and the specimen lengths were also systematically studied.

CARALL(Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum laminates) was fabricated with CFRP prepreg and A17075, using a autoclave. The mechanical properties of three samples i.e. A17075, CFRP and CARALL were also investigated as a function of size in circular holes. Theoretical approach into analysing mechanical behaviors near the circular hole notch was carried out to compare with experimental data, furthermore. By the adhesive bonding of A17075 to CFRP, abrupt strength reduction was prevented. From the consideration of modified point stress failure criterion, predicted results was well consistent with the experimental one.

It has been proven that the pre-cracking notches in a blasting hole are applicable to control crack growth along specific direction. This study compared the roughnesses of the fracture plane resulting from test blasts using a regular charge hole and notched charge hole to investigate the effect of the notches of charge hole on the formation of fracture plane. A notch bit system was used to drill the notched hole in the rock specimens. The surfaces of the fracture planes were reconstructed as Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using digital photogrammetric method and the roughnesses of the surfaces were estimated with Surface Roughness Profile Index (SRp).

Edge notched A16061-T6 aluminum was repaired with a GFRP composite patch as a function of the number of stacking, Damage progress of specimen for tension load has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE), AE energy rate, hit rate, amplitude, waveform and 1st peak frequency distribution were analyzed. Fracture processes were classified into Al cracking, Fiber breakage, Resin cracking and Delamination. Displacement of a specimen can be divided into Region I, II and ill according to acoustic emission characteristics. Region II where the patch itself was actually fractured was focused on to clarify the AE characteristics difference for the number of stacking.
