In recent years, the subject of remaining life assessment has drawn considerable attention in chemical plants, where various structural components typically operate at high temperature an pressure. Thus a life prediction methodology accounting for high temperature creep fracture is increasingly needed for the components. Critical defects in such structures are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface crack, and the analysis of which is consequently an important problem in engineering fracture mechanics. On this background, we first develop an auto mesh generation program for detailed 3-D finite element analyses of axial and circumferential semi-elliptical surface cracks in a piping system. A high temperature creep fracture parameter C-integral is obtained from the finite element analyses of generated 3-D models. Post crack growth module is further appended here to calculate the amount of crack growth. Finally the remaining lives of surface cracked pipes for various analytical parameters are assessed using the developed life assessment program.

우리는 유리에 충격에 가해졌을 때 나타나는 복잡한 균열 생성 기법을 제안한다. 유리에 충격이 가해졌을 때 표현되는 균열 패턴은 미세(Dense), 방사상(Radial), 동심원(Concentric) 균열로 분류 할 수 있으며, 이 균열 패턴을 절차적 방법을 이용하여 효율적으로 표현한다. 외력이 발생하면 균열 예제 데이터를 기반으로 L-system을 응용하여 실시간으로 균열이 전파되는 모양을 합성한다. 물리 기반 균열 생성은 정확한 균열의 분석 및 모델링이 가능하지만 계산비용이 크기 때문에 계산속도가 느린 단점이 있으며, 절차적 방법은 비교적 빠른 계산 속도를 갖지만, 정확한 균열의 특징을 포착하기에는 충분하지 않다. 우리는 이 두 가지 장점을 모두 얻기 위해 L-system을 이용하여 유리의 균열을 모델링하고, 결과적으로 유리의 미세한 균열 패턴을 실시간 환경에서 사실적으로 표현한다.

SGBEM-FEM 교호법은 유한 물체 내에 존재하는 삼차원 균열을 해석하는 유용한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 이 방법으로 일반적인 평면 혹은 비평면 삼차원 균열에 대한 정확한 응력강도계수를 구할 수 있다. 기존의 방법에서는 균열을 모델화 하는데 8 절점 사각형 경계요소를 사용한다. 그러나 임의 형상의 균열의 경우는 3 절점 삼각형 요소를 사용하여 균열을 모델화 하는 것이 더 편리하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3 절점 삼각형 요소와 7 절점 사각형 요소를 사용하여 전진 프런트 법으로 균열을 모델링 하였다. 사용된 균열 모델의 정확성을 검토하기 위하여 몇 가지 형상의 균열에 대하여 응력강도계수를 구하여 기존의 해와 비교하였다.

This paper investigated the temperature history of mass concrete mock up structure considering different heat generation by varying with mixture proportion. Setting time difference between high early strength mixture (E-P) and retarding mixture (R-F30) was 14.5hours. Incorporation of $30\%$ of fly ash contributed to $10^{\circ}C$ of hydration heat reduction. In generally used C and D combination, bottom concrete shows earlier hydration, while E-J combination showed reverse tendency and thus, this method can reduce the crack occurrence. Therefore, heat generation difference method has beneficial effect on reducing crack induced by hydration heat resulting from heat generation difference between surface and center section.

This research analyzed the factors for crack generation and proposed the recommended construction methods for the efficient crack control of underground RC box structures under the roadway. The selected main factors were: details of contraction joints, ratio of crack control rebars in longitudinla direction, and placement of flyash concrete. These factors were tested on the actual structures and the significance of each factor was analyzed, The results show that the flyash concrete placement and the inducting minor cracks in a certain direction by adopting contraction joints are practical and efficient methods to control cracks. The significance of crack generating factors increases as the sectional loss of contraction joint spacing increase. It was recommeded that the sectional loss should be higher than 20 percent to maximize the crack generating effects. It was not possible to verify the effect of crack control rebar spacing, but it was estimated that the ratio of crack control rebar should be increased to minimize cracks.

In case of spot-welded joints, the fatigue cracks generally originate from the weld interfaces of the neighborhood nugget tips, and propagate toward the outer surfaces of the sheets. Generally, because fatigue crack was observed in nugget around, strain gage was attached at nugget zone. Accordingly, it was very difficult to detect the generation time of fatigue crack in spot-welded joints and to measure the propagation speed of fatigue crack. We developed the non-destructive method, according to which th fatigue crack propagation rate can be quantitatively estimated by utilizing information obtained from strain gages bonded on the electrode indentations of spot welds. The results measured by real crack were compared with the data which was measured by strain gauge method in fatigue testing. And so fatigue strength was evaluated by stress intensity factor. In this study behavior of fatigue crack propagation under repeated load were considered.

Since the crack generation and its propagation caused by welding defects is one of the main hull damage patterns, the simulation of crack propagation process has an important significance for ship safety. Based on interface element method, a finite element model to simulate crack propagation is studied in the paper. A Lennard-Jones type potential function is employed to define potential energy of the interface element. Tensile tests of steel flat plates with initial central crack are carried out. Surface energy density and spring critical stress that are suitable for the simulation of crack propagation are determined by comparing numerical calculation and tests results. Based on a large number of simulation results, the curve of simulation correction parameter plotted against the crack length is calculated.

When ultrasound propagates to a crack, transmitted and reflected waves are generated. These waves have useful information for the detection of the crack lying in a structure. When a crack is under residual stress, crack surfaces will contact each other and a closed crack is formed. For closed cracks, the fundamental component of the reflected and transmitted waves will be weak, and as such it is not easy to detect them. In this case, higher harmonic components will be useful. In this paper, nonlinear characteristic of a closed crack is modeled by a continuum material having a tensile-compressive unsymmetry, and the amplitude of the second harmonic wave was obtained by spectrum analysis. Variation of the second harmonic component depending on the nonlinearity of the inclusion was investigated. Two-dimensional plane strain model is considered, and finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used.

The presence of cracks changes the water content pattern during seepage through a cracked soil as compared to that of intact soil. In addition, several different crack networks may form in one soil type. These two factors result in a variation of water contents in the soil matrix part of a cracked soil during seepage. This paper presents an investigation of the effect of crack network representation on the water content of the soil matrix part of cracked soil using numerical models. A new method for the numerical generation of crack networks incorporating connections among crack endpoints was developed as part of the investigation. Numerical analysis results indicated that the difference in the point water content was large, whereas the difference in the average water content was relatively small, indicating the uniqueness of the crack network representation on the average water content of the soil matrix part of cracked soil.
