The p-version crack model based on integrals of Legendre polynomial and virtual crack extension method is proposed with its potential for application to stress intensity factor computations in linear elastic fracture mechanics. The main advantage of this model is that the data preparation effort is minimal because only a small number of elements are used and the high accuracy and the rapid rate of convergence can be achieved in the vicinity of crack tip. There are two important findings from this study. Firstly, the limit value, the strain energy of the exact solution can be estimated with successive three p-version approximations by ascertaining the approximations is entered the asymptotic range. Secondly, the rate of convergence of p-version model is almost twice that of h-version model on the basis of uniform or quasiuniform mesh refinement for the cracked panel problem subjected tension.

In this paper, an Extended Finite Element Method is proposed by adding discontinuity and singularity enrichment functions to the standard FEM approximation. In this method, the singularity and the discontinuity of the crack are efficiently modeled by using initial regular mesh without refining mesh near the crack tip, so that it enables express the asymptotic stress field near crack tip and crack surface successfully. The developed method was verified by evaluating crack tip stress profile and stress intensity factor of mode Ⅰ/mode Ⅱ fracture problems and the results showed the effectiveness and robustness for fracture problem.

It is noted that KS D 3507 pipe steel has several problems when it is used as a city gas pipe at medium pressure. So new pipe steel, KS D 3631, was developed in order to be used as a pipe for medium and low pressure and now it is being substituted for D 3507. In this study, several mechanical tests, such as tensile test, microhardness test, and Charpy impact test were conducted to get material properties of D 3507 and D 3631 pipe steels. And also microstructures at the weld and heat affected zones were observed for the two materials. From the Charpy test results $K_{IC}/$ was estimated for the upper and lower shelf and the critical crack length is calculated for supposed axial semi-elliptical surface cracks. And the burst pressure is estimated as a function of wear depth for a defective D 3631 pipe by using the finite element method. The burst pressure is also calculated for pipes with an axial crack by using the published equations.

Finite element analysis (FEA) combined with the concepts of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) provides a practical and convenient means to study the fracture and crack growth of materials. In this paper, a numerical modeling of crack propagation in the cement mantle of the reconstructed acetabulum is presented. This work is based on the implementation of the displacement extrapolation method (DEM) and the strain energy density (SED) theory in a finite element code. At each crack increment length, the kinking angle is evaluated as a function of stress intensity factors (SIFs). In this paper, we analyzed the mechanical behavior of cracks initiated in the cement mantle by evaluating the SIFs. The effect of the defect on the crack propagation path was highlighted.

Low temperature fatigue crack propagation ratio and characteristics of the pressure structural steel which is used for the low temperature pressure vessels. Fatigue crack properties was studied at room temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and low temperature ranges $-60^{\circ}C,\; -80^{\circ}C \;and\; -100^{\circ}C$ with stress ratio of R=0.05, 0.1, 0.3 in the logarithmic relationship between the fatigue crack propagation rate (da/dN) and stress intensity factor $\DeltaK$, in low temperature case the relationship was extend to the range of low crack propagation rate. The fractured specimens were examined by SEM tested. That results showed specimen failed at low temperature exhibit the quasi-cleavage fracture formation, however, considerable ductility proceed final fracture.

FRANC3D is a program for simulating arbitrary three-dimensional crack growth. Recently, a completely new version of the program, FRANC3D/NG, has been created. Unlike previous versions, which relied largely on boundary element analysis, the new version of the program works with finite element analysis exclusively and is designed to work with general-purpose commercial finite element packages. This paper presents the theoretical underpinnings of the procedures to adaptively modify the geometry and mesh of a model to simulate crack growth.

Fracture tests were carried out in order to investigate the flexural behavior of SFRC (Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete) structures. Sixty three SFRC beams were used in the tests, the fracture mode, the relationships between loading and strains, and the relationships between loading and mid-span deflections of the beams were observed under the three point bending loading. From the test results, the effects of steel fiber contents and a/h ratio on the concrete flexural behavior were studied, and the stress intensity factors and the flexural strength of SFRC beams were calculated. According to the results of regression analysis, predicting formulas for the flexural strength of SFRC beams are also suggested.

The cure behaviors, dielectric characteristics and fracture toughness of diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blend system were investigated. The degree of conversion for the DGEBA/PET blend system was measured using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cure kinetics were investigated by measuring the cure activation energies ($E_a$) with dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dielectric characteristic was examined by dielectric analysis (DEA). The mechanical properties were investigated by measuring the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$), critical strain energy release rate ($G_{IC}$), and impact strength test. As a result, DGEBAIPET was successfully blended. The Ea of the blend system was increased with increasing PET content to a maximum at 10 phr PET. The dielectric constant was decreased with increasing PET content. The mechanical properties of the blend system were also superior to those of the neat DGEBA. These results were attributed to the increased cross-linking density of the blend system, resulting from the interaction between the epoxy group of DGEBA and the carboxyl group of PET.

The pulse-echo method is one of the most widely used ultrasonic techniques for application of nondestructive evaluation. Particularly, quantitative nondestructive evaluation of defects has been considered more important to assure the reliability and the safety of structure. Frequency energy in adhesive joints is based on the ultrasonic wave analysis. The attenuation coefficient upon wave amplitude and the frequency energy that is expressed in the term of wave pressure amplitude were utilized for the primary wave experiment. By means of a control experiment, it was confirmed that the variation of the frequency energy in adhesive joints depends on transition by stress variation. In this paper, the ultrasonic characteristics were measured for single lap joint and Double Cantilever Beam specimen with different fracture modes that was subjected to stress. Consequently, the data that was obtained from the adhesive specimen was analytically compared to the fracture mechanics parameter

요추 압박 골절이 있는 환자를 대상으로 1.5 T MR 기기에서 b value의 변화를 이용한 확산강조영상에서 압박 골절이 있는 요추의 신호대 잡음비와 현성 확산 계수가 어떤 변화를 나타내는지 알아보고자 하였다. 2008년 1월부터 2009년 11월까지 요추 MRI를 촬영한 환자 중에서 만성 골다공증으로 척추 압박 골절을 보였던 환자 30명을 대상으로 1.5T MR scanner를 이용하여 b value를 400, 600, 800, 1000, $1200\;s/mm^2$으로 점차 증가시켜가면서 확산강조영상을 각각 획득하였다. 각각의 b value로 획득한 확산강조영상에서 1~5번의 요추체중 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판등 세 부위에서 신호대 잡음비를 측정하였고 각각의 b value로 획득한 ADC map 영상에서는 세 부위의 신호대 잡음비와 현성 확산 계수를 측정 하였다. 정량적 분석방법으로 b value $400\;s/mm^2$으로 획득한 확산강조영상과 ADC map영상을 기준으로 각각의 b value로 획득한 영상과 비교하였다. 정성적인 분석방법은 b value $400\;s/mm^2$ 확산강조영상과 ADC map영상의 1~5번의 요추체중 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위의의 신호강도를 분석하여 이를 기준으로 각각의 b value를 증가시켰을 때의 확산강조영상과 ADC map영상에서 신호강도가 상대적으로 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보았다. 영상의 정량적 분석에서는 확산강조영상에서 b value가 증가함에 따라 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판등 세 부위 모두 신호대 잡음비가 상대적으로 감소했다. ADC map영상에서는 b value가 증가함에 따라 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판등 세 부위 모두 신호대 잡음비가 상대적으로 감소했다. ADC map영상에서 b value에 따른 관심영역의 현성 확산 계수는 b value가 증가함에 따라 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판등 세 부위 모두 현성 확산 계수가 상대적으로 감소했다. 영상의 정성적 분석에서 b value를 $400\;s/mm^2$ 이상으로 증가시킴에 따라 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판등 세 부위 모두 신호강도가 점차 감소하였고 b value를 $1,000\;s/mm^2$ 이상으로 했을 때에는 세 부위 모두 영상의 잡음이 매우 심했다. 또한 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위는 상대적으로 위, 아래 추간판 보다 높은 신호강도를 보였다. 확산강조영상에서 b value를 증가시킴에 따라 척추 압박 골절이 있는 부위와 골절이 있는 부위의 위, 아래 추간판 등 세부위 모두 신호대 잡음비와 현성확산계수가 점차 감소하는 결과를 얻었고 향후 확산강조영상 검사 시 Multi b value를 사용하여 신호의 변화를 인지함으로서 여러 가지 척추질환으로의 적용에 도움을 줄 것이라 사료된다.
