In this research, the effects of fiber stacking sequence on damage behaviors of FML(Fiber Metal Laminates) subject to indentation loading. SOP (Singly Oriented Ply) FML and angle ply FML were fabricated to study fiber orientation effects and angle ply effects. FML were fabricated by using 1050 aluminum laminate and carbon/epoxy prepreg. To increase adhesive bonding strength, Al laminate was etched using FPL methods. The static indentation test were conducted by using UTM under the 2side clamped conditions. During the tests, load and displacement curve and crack initiation and propagation behaviors were investigated. As fiber orientation angle increases, the crack initiation load of SOP FML increases because the stiffness induced by fiber orientation is increased. The penetration load of SOP FML is influenced by the deformation tendency and boundary conditions. However, the macro-crack of angle ply FML was initiated by fiber breakage of lower ply because angle plies in Angle ply FML prevents the crack growth and consolidation. The Angle ply FML has a critical cross-angle which prevent crack growth and consolidation. Damage behavior of Angle ply FML is changed around the critical cross-angle.

RILEM위원회가 제시한 3점 휨 시험은 하중-변위곡선 형상이 불규칙하고 안정된 균열 발생 후 최종 균열이 발생하기 때문에 정확한 파괴인성을 구하는 것은 어렵다. 그러나 디스크 시험은 균열개시하중만 알면 쉽게 파괴인성을 구할 수 있다. 따라서, RILEM위원회가 제시한 3점 휨 시험보다 파괴인성 계산의 편리함을 보이기 위해 중앙에 노치가 있는 고강도 콘크리트 디스크를 실험하여 실험결과와 유한요소해석에 의한 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 실험에 의한 파괴 포락선과 이론에 의한 파괴 포락선도 비교하였으며, 콘크리트 강도수준에 따른 파괴특성의 차이를 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다 유한요소해석과 실험결과를 비교해 볼 때, 최대 원주방향 인장응력 이론을 적용한 유한요소해석은 실험결과와 좋은 일치를 보였다. 그리고 콘크리트의 강도수준에 따른 파괴특성의 차이는 균열개시하중과 파괴인성 등에 영향을 끼치지만 최종 균열전파각의 변화에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 또한, 최대 원주방향 인장응력이론에 의한 파괴 포락선과 실험에 의한 포락선이 일치하지 않는 이유는 콘크리트에서 혼합모드와 면내전단모드(모드 II) 파괴를 유발하는 데 필요한 에너지량이 크기 때문이라고 판단된다

Single overload tests are carried out for SS41. Specimens are used hollow type and solid type that stress condition prevail plane stress and plane strain at surface crack. According to the crack initiation and propagation period, single overload applies to three regime and overload ratios change into 1.5, 2.0. Crack retardation zones at initation range aren't different in both specimens respectively, however at propagation range come into large scale in hollow specimen. Delayed load cycles come into large scale in solid type. And the more the overload ratio increase, the larger the retardation zone increase but the magnitude doesn't exactly equal to the expected from the overload ratio.

One of the major factors affecting the life span of a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) is the Pressurised Thermal Shock (PTS). PTS is a thermo-mechanical load on the RPV wall due to steep temperature gradients and structural load created by internal pressure of the fluid within the RPV. Safe operating life of a nuclear power plant is ensured by carrying out fracture analysis of the RPV against thermal shock. Carrying out fracture tests on RPV/large scale components is not always feasible. Hence, studies on laboratory level specimens are necessary to validate and supplement the prototype results. This paper aims to study the fracture behaviour of standard Compact Tension [C(T)] specimens, made of RPV steel 20MnMoNi55, subjected to thermal shock through experimental and numerical investigations. Fracture tests have been carried out on the C(T) specimens subjected to thermal transient load and tensile load to quantify the effect of thermal shock. Crack resistance curves are obtained from the fracture tests as per ASTM E1820 and compared with those obtained numerically using XFEM and a good agreement was found. A quantitative study on the crack tip plastic zone, computed using cohesive segment approach, from the numerical analyses justified the experimental crack initiation toughness.

The factors affecting on the fatigue strength of spot_welded specimens have been studied. The influence of initial overloads on the fatigue life of spot_welded tensile_shear specimens is investigated by considering fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation. The change of strain range and the influence of initial overload are correlated on the basis ol strain results. The results of this study are as follows. l) The initial absolute strain range decreased with initial overloads increase, and absolute strain range decreased before transformation of waveform of strain, but increased after transformation of waveform of strain. 2) In case of subsequent point of inflection of offset strain, the increment of this strain decreased with initial overload increase. 3) As initial overloads increase, the deformation behavior of spot welded parts is restricted after overloading.

Fracture behaviors of pipes with local wall thinning are very important for the integrity of nuclear power plant. However, effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system were not well studied. Acoustic emission(AE) has been widely used in various fields because of its extreme sensitivity, dynamic detection ability and location of growing defects. In this study, we investigated failure modes of locally wall thinned pipes and AE signals by bending test. From test results, we could be divided four types of failure modes of ovalization, crack initiation after ovalization, local buckling and crack initiation after local buckling. And fracture behaviors such as elastic region, yielding region, plastic deformation region and crack progress region could be evaluated by AE counts, accumulative counts and time-frequency analysis during bending test. The result of the frequency range is expected to be basic data that can inspect plants in real-time.

Contact fatigue damages on the rail surface, such as head checks and squats are a growing problem. The fatigue cracks forming on the contact surface grow according to load and lubricating conditions and may end up breaking the rail. Rail fracture can be avoided by preventing the cracks from reaching the critical length. Therefore, the crack growth rate needs to be estimated precisely according to the conditions of the track and load to develop a maintenance plan against rail damages. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism of cracks initiation and growth on a rail due to repetitive rolling contact. In this study, we have investigated the crack growth behavior on the rail surface by using the twin-disc tests and the finite element analysis.

집중하중을 받는 일방향 보강(singly oriented ply, SOP) 섬유 금속 적층판(fiber metal laminate, FML)의 손상 거동을 음향 방출법(acoustic emission, AE)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 섬유 방향의 영향을 연구하기 위하여 다양한 섬유 방향을 가지는 SOP FML을 제작하였으며, UTM을 이용하여 압입 하중을 가하였다. 압입 시험 시 발생하는 AE신호는 150kH의 공진 주파수를 가지는 AE센서를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 여기에서 발생된 신호를 하중-변위 선도와 비교하였다. SOP FML의 손상 과정은 균열 개시, 균열 전파, 관통에 따라 3구간으로 나누어 겼다. 균열 개시전까지의 AE 신호의 특성으로 보아 미소 균열이 시편의 하부에서 발생하고 이 균열이 시편의 두께 방향으로 전파되어 섬유 분리를 발생시키는 것으로 생각된다. 발생된 균열은 섬유 방향을 따라 성장하였으며, 이 때 60~80dB의 AE신호들이 발생되었다. 관통이 발생할 때는 80~100dB의 고진폭의 AE신호가 나타나 섬유의 파괴가 발생함을 보였으며, 섬유의 방향이 증가할수록 섬유의 파괴가 많이 발생되었다 누적 AE count선도는 FML의 압입 특성을 잘 나타내어 FML의 특성 변호 예측에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a method used to measure the displacement and strain of structures. It involves transforming and analyzing images before and after deformation using correlation coefficients from irregular light and shade on the surface of structures. In the present study, a microspeckle pattern was applied to the surface of a specimen to identify initial cracking. The test specimen constituted CFRP composites laminated on a curved Al liner The specimen was manufactured by stacking 100 ply of CFRP prepregs in the 0° and 90° directions in a three-point bending test. The equivalent strain was evaluated through DIC analysis after monitoring deformation using a CCD camera. Fracture shape was observed using a microscope. The equivalent strain contour distribution was checked until the maximum load fracture occurred at the center of the test specimen. Variations in the strain indicated the initial occurrence and progression of microcracks. These results can be used to improve the accuracy of detecting micro crack initiation and to achieve structural stability.

This research has been carried out experimently to verify the structural efficiency of the reinforced concrete columns subjected to cyclic lateral loadings in the inelastic range. Sixteen specimens have been used in the tests, the factors such as reinforcing bars, shear-span ratio, axial load level and loading history being taken differently. The load-carrying capacities and the stiffness degradation in the inelastic range by cycle lateral load application have been counted by observing the load-deformation relationship, the crack initiation and propagation and the energy dissipation phenomena.
