For the corrosion protection of the natural gas transmission pipelines, two methods are used, cathodic protection and coating technique. In the case of cathodic protection, defects are embrittled by occurring hydrogen at the crack tip or material surface. It is however very important to evaluate whether cracks in the embrittled area can grow or not, especially in weld metal. In this work, on the basis of elastic plastic fracture mechanics, we performed the CTOD testing with various test conditions, such as testing rate and potential. The CTOD of the base metal and the weld metal showed a strong dependence of the test conditions. The CTOD decreased with decreasing testing rate and with increasing cathodic potential. The morphology of the fracture surface showed the quasi-cleavage at low testing rate and cathodic overprotection. The low CTOD was caused by hydrogen embrittlement at crack tip.

A cast stainless steel may experience an embrittlement when it is exposed to approximately 30$0^{\circ}C$ for long period. In the present investigation, The three classes of the thermally aged CF8M specimie n are prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. Namely, after the specimen are held for 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. at 43$0^{\circ}C$ respectively, the specimens are quenched in water to room temperature. Load versus load line displacement curves and J-R curves are obtained using the unloading compliance method. $J_{IC}$ values are obtained following ASTM E 813-87 and ASTM E 813-81 methods. In addition to these methods, JIC values are obtained using SZW(stretch zone width) method described in JSME S 001-1981. The results of the unloading compliance method are $J_Q$=485.7 kJ/m$^2$ for virgin material, $J_{IC}$ of the degraded materials associated with 300, 1800 and 3600hrs are obtained 369.25 kJ/m$^2$, 311.02 kJ/m$^2$, 276.7 kJ/m$^2$, respectively. The results of SZW method are similar to those of the unloading compliance method. Through the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test, it is found that the value of $J_{IC}$ is decreased with increasing of the aging time. The results obtained through the investigation can provide reference data for a leak before break(LBB) of reactor coolant system of nuclear power plants.

Cast stainless steel may experience embrittlement when it is exposed approximately to 300$\^{C}$ for a long period. In the present investigation, the three classes of the thermally-aged CF8M specimen were prepared using an artificially-accelerated aging method. After the specimens were held for 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. at 430$\^{C}$, respectively, the specimens were quenched in water which is at room temperature. Load versus load line displacement curves and J-R curves were obtained using the unloading compliance method. talc values were obtained using the ASTM E813-87 and ASTM E 813-81 methods. In addition to these methods, talc values were obtained using the SZW (stretch zone width) method described in JSME S 001-1981. The results of the unloading compliance method are J$\_$Q/=543.9kJ/㎡ for virgin materials. The values of J$\_$IC/ for the degraded materials at 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. are obtained 369.25kJ/㎡, 311.02kJ/㎡, 276.7kJ/㎡, respectively. The results obtained by the SZW method are compared with those obtained by the unloading compliance method. Both results are quite similar. Through the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test, it is found that the value of loc is decreased with an increase of the aging time.

The method of JSME S001-83 and ASTM E813-87 have been adapted for evaluation of the elastic-plastic fracture toughness J sub(IC) of SB41 steel. This SB41 steel have the characteristics of low-stength CT specimens. The test results obtained have been considered and compared on the basis of resulted data from two kinds of methods(JSME S001-83, ASTM E813-87) and two kinds of specimen configurations(smooth, side-grooved). On the basis of results from consideration and comparison, the difficulties for its application were presented in case when the standard ASTM E813-87 method was employed for the measurement of J sub(IC) in SB41 steel. A modified method was applied for measuring J sub(IC) in SB41 steel that it used the blunting line real-measured by experiment instead of the standard blunting line theoretically determined, and the result from that procedure was analyzed and the usefulness of that method was examined and considered.

Indentation and small punch tests are very powerful methods to monitor the materials reliability since they are very simple, easy and almost non-destructive. First, recently-developed continuous indentation test can provide the more material properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, work-hardening exponent, etc., than the conventional hardness test. In our study, the true stress-strain curve was derived from the indentation load-depth curve for spherical indentation. In detail, the strain was able to be obtained from plastic depth/contact radius ratio, and the flow stress was from mean contact pressure through the analysis of elastic-plastic indentation stress field. Secondly, the small punch test was studied to evaluate the fracture toughness and defomation properties such as elastic modulus and yield strength. Like the indentation test, this test can be applied without severe damage of the target structure.

Fracture resistance(J-R) curves, which are used for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analyses, are known to be dependent on the specimen geometry. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of crack tip constraint an the J-R curves in CT specimens. Fracture toughness tests on CT specimens with varying planform size were performed and test results showed that the J-R curves were increased with an increase in the planform size. Finite element analysis were also performed and the numerical results showed that this experimental phenomenon was probably due to the relaxation of crack tip constraint resulting from the stress triaxiality.

In the present study, the fracture toughness of U-shaped notches made of aluminum alloy Al7075-T6 under combined tension/out-of-plane shear loading conditions (mixed mode I/III) is studied by theoretical and experimental methods. In the experimental part, U-notched test samples are loaded using a previously developed fixture under mixed mode I/III loading and their load-carrying capacity (LCC) is measured. Then, due to the presence of considerable plasticity in the notch vicinity at crack initiation instance, using the Equivalent Material Concept (EMC) and with the help of the point stress (PS) and mean stress (MS) brittle failure criteria, the LCC of the tested samples is predicted theoretically. The EMC equates a ductile material with a virtual brittle material in order to avoid performing elastic-plastic analysis. Because of the very good match between the EMC-PS and EMC-MS combined criteria with the experimental results, the use of the combination of the criteria with EMC is recommended for designing U-notched aluminum plates in engineering structures. Meanwhile, because of nearly the same accuracy of the two criteria and the simplicity of the PS criterion relations, the use of EMC-PS failure model in design of notched Al7075-T6 components is superior to the EMC-MS criterion.

금속 재료의 수소취화 현상에 대한 분석은 수소플랜트의 안전성 평가를 위해 매우 중요하다. 수소환경하 취화된 재료의 기계적 물성과 파괴인성은 구조 건전성 평가에 가장 기본적이며 중요한 자료이다. 본 논문은 최근에 개발된 유한요소 해석 기반 현상학적 손상해석을 소형펀치 실험에 적용하고 Inconel 617 재료의 대기 중 소형펀치 실험결과와 비교 함으로써 손상해석 기법의 적용 타당성을 보였다. 또한 역변환 기법을 사용하여 소형펀치 실험으로부터 인장물성을 예측하고 인장실험으로부터 구한 재료 물성과 비교하여 적용 가능성을 검증하였다. 검증된 결과를 바탕으로 수소취화된 시편에 대한 소형펀치 실험결과에 역변환 기법과 손상해석을 적용하여 수소취화 된 재료의 기계적물성과 파괴인성을 예측하였다.

콘크리트는 혼합물로서 비균질성, 이방성 및 비선형성 재료이기 때문에 그의 파괴해석에 있어서 재래의 강도 개념보다 파괴역학 개념을 적용하여 콘크리트의 파괴인성을 도입하여 평가하는 것이 보다 합리적이라 할 수 있다. 지금까지 콘크리트에 적용되어 온 파괴역학 개념은 두가지로 대별될 수 있는데 하나는 선형탄성파괴역학 개념이고 다른 하나는 비선형파괴역학 개념이다. 그러너 전자를 콘크리트에 적용하는데는 문제점과 불합리성이 지적되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 비선형파괴역학에서 많이 이용되어온 J-적분법과 COD법을 도입하여 굵은골재의 최대치수와 노치깊이의 변화가 콘크리트의 파괴거동, 파괴에너지 및 균열성장에 미치는 영향, 균열개구변위와 파괴에너지의 관계 등을 고찰하기 위하여 콘크리트 작사각형 보를 제작하여 3점 휨 파괴실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 굵은골재의 최대치수와 노치깊이가 증가할수록 하중-치 짐거동의 비선형성이 더욱 두드러졌고, 굵은골재 최대치수의 증가는 콘크리트의 연성을 증가시켜 보다 안정된 파괴를 유도하였으며, 균열전파경로는 굵은골재의 최대치수가 증가할수록 점점 더 직선에서 벗어나 불규칙적이었으나 노치깊이의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 또한 파괴에너지는 굵은골재의 최대치수가 증가하고 노치깊이가 감소할수록 증가하였으나, 균열개구변위는 노치깊이가 증가할수록 감소하였으며 굵은골재의 최대치수의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다.
