대부분의 구조물은 정하중뿐아니라 동하중을 받고있으며, 반복되는 동하중에 의해 구조물은 피로를 받게되고 가장 취약한 부위에 작은 미시균열이 발생된다. 미시균열이 성장, 확산되어 기술적으로 인지되는 길이가 0.5 mm 이상이 될때 이를 거시균열이라 하는데, 거시균열의 균열성장은 파괴역학적 해석 방법의 도입으로 많은 공학적 재료들이 광범위하게 연구되었으며, 거시균열의 확산과 연관되어지는 균열닫힘과 미시구조의 관계가 연구되었다. 최근에는 거시균열의 해석과 같이 응력강도가 미시균열에서의 확산거동에 미치는 영향을 설명하는데 많은 관심을 가지게 되었다.(중략)

Although the ultrasonic method has been developed and used widely in the fields, it has been used only for measuring the defect size and thickness loss. In this study, the relationship between surface wave attenuation through micro-crack growth and variation of velocity under repeated cyclic loading has been investigated. The specimens are adopted from 2.25Cr-1Mo steel, which is used for power plant and pipeline system, and have dimensions of $200{\times}40{\times}4mm$. The results of ultrasonic test with a 5MHz transducer show that surface wave velocity gradually decreases from the point of 60% of fatigue life and the crack length of 2mm with the increasing fatigue cycles. From the results of this study, it is found that the technique using the ultrasonic velocity change is one of very useful methods to evaluate the fatigue life nondestructively.

일정진폭하중과 과대하중비 2.5의 단일 인장과대하중에 의한 4140강 용접부 의 피로균열성장거동을 실온과 -45.deg.C의 저온에서 피로시험과 파면관찰을 통하여 고찰하였다. 이때, 용접부 미시조직의 영향을 평가하기 위해 모재(parent metal), 열영향부(as-welded HAZ), 열처리된 열영향부(PWHT HAZ)로 나누어 응력비 0과 0.5로 CT시험편을 이용하여 피로시험을 실시하였다. 피로균열성장거동은 재료의 미시조직과 온도변화보다는 응력비에 크게 영향을 받았으며, 단일 과대하중에 의한 피로균열성장 지연효과가 모든 재료에서 상당히 크게 나타났다. 전자현미경에 의한 피로파면 관찰 결과, 실온에서는 연성의 스트라이에이숀과 -45.deg.C에서는 의벽개파면과 같은 피로 균열성장거동을 나타내고 있다.

Characteristics of fatigue crack propagation in martensite-ferrite duel phase steels have been investigated. In low .DELTA.K region, fatigue crack propagation resistance increases with increasing volume fraction of martensite, but the difference of crack propagation resistance resulted from the volume fraction decreases with increasing .DELTA.K. Also, threshold stress intensity factor range .DELTA.K$_{th}$ increases with increasing volume fraction of martensite, But fatigue crack propagation rates of dual-phase steels in terms of .DELTA.K$_{eff}$ are independent to volume fraction of martensite. These phenomena can be explained by the roughness induced crack closure due to crack deflection.n.n.

Hydraulic conductivity along rock fracture is mainly dependent on fracture geometries such as orientation, aperture, roughness and connectivity. Therefore, it needs to consider fracture geometries sufficiently on a fracture model for a numerical analysis to calculate permeability coefficient in a fracture. This study performed new type of numerical analysis using a homogenization analysis method to calculate permeability coefficient accurately along single fractures with several fracture models that were considered fracture geometries as much as possible. First of all, fracture roughness and aperture variation due to normal stress applied on a fracture were directly measured under a confocal laser scaning microscope (CLSM). The acquired geometric data were used as input data to construct fracture models for the homogenization analysis (HA). Using the constructed fracture models, the homogenization analysis method can compute permeability coefficient with consideration of material properties both in microscale and in macroscale. The HA is a new type of perturbation theory developed to characterize the behavior of a micro inhomogeneous material with a periodic microstructure. It calculates micro scale permeability coefficient at homogeneous microscale, and then, computes a homogenized permeability coefficient (C-permeability coefficient) at macro scale. Therefore, it is possible to analyze accurate characteristics of permeability reflected with local effect of facture geometry. Several computations of the HA were conducted to prove validity of the HA results compared with the empirical equations of permeability in the previous studies using the constructed 2-D fracture models. The model can be classified into a parallel plate model that has fracture roughness and identical aperture along a fracture. According to the computation results, the conventional C-permeability coefficients have values in the range of the same order or difference of one order from the permeability coefficients calculated by an empirical equation. It means that the HA result is valid to calculate permeability coefficient along a fracture. However, it should be noted that C-permeability coefficient is more accurate result than the preexisting equations of permeability calculation, because the HA considers permeability characteristics of locally inhomogeneous fracture geometries and material properties both in microscale and macroscale.

Among the various test methods for stress corrusiun cracking(SCC) susceptibility evaluatiun, the slow stram rate test(SSHT) method is a rapid and effective nwthod to evaluate the SCC susceptibility of metal in relatively short time. But it is very difficult to analyze the microfracture behaviors in SCC process by using the test(SSRT) method only. Up to now, it has been well known that the acoustic emission(AE) test is the effective technique to monitor the microcrack initiation and propagation in material fracture pmcess. Therefore. in this paper, we analyzed the correlation between the see process and the characteristics of AE signal by using the SSHT and the AE test. According to the test results. the AE signals produced from the material microfracture were clearly depended on the test environment. The AE signal characteristics generated during see process in synthetic sea water were comparatively greater than those. in air. In addition, the SCC behaviors could be definitely evaluated by the amplitude parameter of AE signals.

In order to obtain the microstructure improving fatigue crack propagation resistance of steels, fatigue crack propagation behavior of martensite-ferrite dual phase steels is investigated in terms of crack deflection and crack closure. The results obtained are as follows; (1) .DELTA.K$_{th}$ and fatigue crack propagation resistance in low .DELTA.K region increases with increasing hardness of second phase. But the difference of this crack propagation resistance decreases with increasing .DELTA.D. (2) In low .DELTA.K region, crack closure increases with increasing hardness of second phase, when the materials have all the sam volume fractionof second phase, or when yield strengths are similar in all materials. (3) These crack closure can be explained by fracture surface roughness due to crack deflection.n.

This study presents a methodology to reproduce the mechanical behavior of isotropic or transversely isotropic rock using the polygonal grain-based distinct element model. A numerical technique to monitor the evolution of micro-cracks during the simulation was developed in the present study, which enabled us to examine the contribution of tensile cracking and shear cracking to the progressive process of the failure. The numerical results demonstrated good agreement with general observations from rock specimens in terms of the behavior and the evolution of micro-cracks, suggesting the capability of the model to represent the mechanical behavior of rock. We also carried out a parametric study as a fundamental work to examine the relationships between the microscopic properties of the constituents and the macroscopic behavior of the model. Depending on the micro-properties, the model exhibited a variety of responses to the external load in terms of the strength and deformation characteristics. In addition, a numerical technique to reproduce the transversely isotropic rock was suggested and applied to Asan gneiss from Korea. The behavior of the numerical model was in good agreement with the results obtained in the laboratory-scale experiments of the rock.

In the present study, crack initiation criteria, static failure and tensile mode fatigue behavior for a rail steel are evaluated to assure the railway vehicle's safety. The transverse fissure, which is the most critical damage in the rail, is initiated by the maximum shear stress and its location is subsurface. In addition, the possibility of transition from the shear mode to the mixed mode increases with increasing the length of subsurface crack. Because of the brittleness by the welding, the fracture toughness of the welded part is lower than of the base metal. For low ${\Delta}K$, the stage II fatigue crack growth rates of the welded part is slower than of the base metal but, for high ${\Delta}K$, this different behavior for fatigue crack growth rate is nearly diminished. These trends are more remarkable for low stress ratio, R=0.1. It is believed that this behavior is caused by the change of the microstructure which that of the welded part is coarser than of base metal.
