The purpose of this study is to show how to eliminate the noises and to obtain the data related with the relationship between AE signal characteristics and mechanical behaviors for the pressure vessel steel. Various kinds of noises are introduced into the AE data in the course of experiments. Accordingly, real AE data have to be obtained after tests. AE test was carried out under four point bending load. Among AE signals, counts and signal strength are used to find out the differences of AE characteristics between the basemetal and weldment. After tests, this paper shows the procedures of filtering the noises against basemetal of the pressure vessel steel to obtain the real data around crack tip. Relationships between plastic zone size and cumulative AE counts are shown also. AE signals were absent within an elastic region, regardless of the specimens. Most of AE signals are produced in the process of plastic deformation. The deformation and fracture modes of basemetal and weldment are quiet different.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the uniaxial tensile properties of nanocrystalline $U_{0.5}Th_{0.5}O_2$ solid solution with the Born-Mayer-Huggins potential. The results indicated that the elastic modulus increased linearly with the density relative to a single crystal, but decreased with increasing temperature. The simulated nanocrystalline $U_{0.5}Th_{0.5}O_2$ exhibited a breakdown in the Halle-Petch relation with mean grain size varying from 3.0 nm to 18.0 nm. Moreover, the elastic modulus of $U_{1-y}Th_yO_2$ solid solutions with different content of thorium at 300 K was also studied and the results accorded well with the experimental data available in the literature. In addition, the fracture mode of nanocrystalline $U_{0.5}Th_{0.5}O_2$ was inclined to be ductile because the fracture behavior was preceded by some moderate amount of plastic deformation, which is different from what has been seen earlier in simulations of pure $UO_2$.

The deformation and fracture behaviors of both Al2O3 and Ni 4.5wt.%Al plasma thermal spray coating were investigated by an acoustic emission method. Plasma thermal spray coating is formed by a process in which melted particles flying with high speed towards substrate, then crash and spread on the substrate surface cooled and solidified in a very short time, stacking of the particles makes coating. A tensile test is conducted on notch specimens in a stress range below the elastic limit of substrate. A bendind test is done on smooth specimens. The waveforms of AE generated from the both test coating specimens can be classified by FFT analysis into two types which low frequency(type I) and high frequency(type II). The type I waveform is considered to corresponds exfoliation of coating layers and type II waveform corresponds the plastic deformation of notch tip. The fracture of the coating layers can estimate by AE event and amplitude, because AE features increase when the deformation generates.

In order to perform leak-before-break design of nuclear piping systems and integrity evaluation of reactor vessels, full stress-strain curves and fracture resistance (J-R) curves are required. However it is time-consuming and expensive to obtain J-R curves experimentally. The objective of this paper is to modify two J-R curve prediction methods previously proposed by the authors and to propose an additional J-R curve prediction method for nuclear piping materials. In the first method which is based on the elastic-plastic finite element analysis, a blunting region handling procedure is added to the existing method. In the second method which is based on the empirical equation, a revised general equation is proposed to apply to both carbon steel and stainless steel. Finally, in the third method, both full stress-strain curve and finite element analysis results are used for J-R curve prediction. A good agreement between the predicted results based on the proposed methods and the experimental ones is obtained.

In recent years, the subject of remaining life assessment has drawn considerable attention in the power generation industry. In power generation systems a variety of structural components, such as steam pipes, turbine rotors, and superheater headers, typically operate at high temperatures and high pressures. Thus a life prediction methodology accounting for fracture and rupture is increasingly needed for these components. For accurate failure assessment, in addition to the single parameter such as K or J-integral used in traditional fracture mechanics, the second parameter like T-stress describing the constraint is needed. The most critical defects in such structures are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface cracks in the welded piping-joints. In this work, selecting the structures of surface-cracked plate and straight pipe, we first perform line-spring finite element modeling, and accompanying elastic-plastic finite element analyses. We then present a framework for including constraint effects (T-stress effects) in the R6 failure assessment diagram approach for fracture assessment.

In a primary reactor cooling system(RCS), a dissimilar weld zone exists between cast stainless steel(CF8M) in a pipe and low-alloy steel(SA508 cl.3) in a nozzle. Thermal aging is observed in CF8M as the RCS is exposed for a long period of time to a reactor operating temperature between 290 and $330^{\circ}C$, while no effect is observed in SA508 cl.3. The specimens are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique maintained for 300, 1800 and 3600 hrs at $430^{\circ}C$, respectively. The specimens for elastic-plastic fracture toughness tests are according to the process in the thermal notch is created in the heat affected zone(HAZ) of CF8M and deposited zone. From the experiments, the $J_{IC}$ value notched in HAZ of CF8M presented a rapid decrease up to 300 hours at $430^{\circ}C$ and slowly decreased according to the process in the thermal aging time. Also, the $J_{IC}$ value presented a lower value than that of the CF8M base metal. And, the $J_{IC}$ of the deposited zone presented the lowest value of all other cases.

SiC 세라믹스는 가볍고, 우수한 고온 강도 및 온도 안정성을 지니고 있어 고온 구조용 디바이스에 많이 응용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 분자동역학을 이용하여 다양한 온도에서 SiC 결정의 탄성율 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 SiC 결정을 모델링하여 구성 원자 사이에 Tersoff 포텐셜을 적용하고, 분자동역학 프로그램인 LAMMPS S/W를 이용하여 상온부터 $1,250^{\circ}C$까지 응력-변위 거동(stress-strain behavior) 및 탄성율 변화를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, SiC 결정은 잘 알려진 바와 같이 저온에서 탄성변형 특성을 보이지만, $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 높은 변위를 인가할 경우, 약간의 소성 변형 특성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상온부터 $1,250^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 증가함에 따라 SiC 결정의 탄성율은 약 475 GPa 부터 425 GPa의 범위에서 변화하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, a parametric study on the influence of friction between materials on pull force in single clinching is conducted using an axisymmetric elasto-plastic finite element method and law of Coulomb friction. An appropriate finite element analysis model is given, which minimizes the effect of the material model and numerical factors including the number of quadrilateral finite elements and blank radius. It is emphasized that the elasto-plastic material model should be employed because the elastic deformation of the internal region is affected more by the pull force. It has been shown that the pull force increases as friction coefficient increases and that the optimized friction coefficient is around 0.4, which is qualitatively comparable with its theoretical value. When the friction coefficient reaches 0.5 in the example studied, the neck fracture is predicted.

강구조 설계는 재료의 비탄성 변형능력을 활용하는 정도에 따라 탄성설계법, 소성설계법, 내진설계법으로 대별할 수 있다. 현재 국내외 강구조 설계기준에서는 항복강도 450MPa를 초과하는 고강도강재에 대해서는 비탄성 변형능력에 대한 우려와 국부좌굴 및 횡좌굴 거동에 대한 실험자료의 부족으로 소성설계의 적용을 금하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반강재를 대상으로 개발된 현행 강구조설계기준의 플랜지 판폭두께비 제한식을 최근에 개발된 고강도강재인 HSB800에도 그대로 확대 적용할 수 있는지 여부를 확인하고 고강도강 휨부재의 국부좌굴 및 비탄성거동을 파악하기 위한 실물대실험을 수행하였다. HSB800 및 SM490A(비교강종) 강재로 조립된 H형강 휨부재를 각각 5개씩 총 10개의 실험체를 제작하고 실험하여 비교분석하였다. 모든 SM490A 비교실험체는 설계기준 상의 판폭두께비에 따른 요구강도와 연성능력을 충분히 발휘하였다. HSB800 실험체 역시 강도 발현의 측면에서는 매우 만족스런 성능을 발휘하였다. 즉, 비콤팩트 및 세장판 요소 플랜지를 지닌 실험체에서도 소성모멘트를 충분히 상회하거나 이에 육박하는 강도가 발현되었다. 이는 현행 판폭두께비 제한규정을 HSB800 고강도강에 그대로 적용해도 강성과 강도 확보를 목표로 하는 모든 탄성설계에 충분히 보수적으로 적용할 수 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 SM490 실험체와는 달리 HSB800 실험체 5개 가운데 3개가 가력점 스티프너와 접합된 하부플랜지에서 조기 인장파단이 발생하여 소성설계에 요구되는 회전능력 R=3에는 미달하였다. HSB800 실험체에서 관측된 파단원인을 규명하고 고강도강재에 보다 적합한 판폭두께비의 정립을 위한 추가실험과 해석적 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
