An automobile clutch diaphragm spring is operating in a closed clutch housing under high temperature and subject to high stress concentration in driving condition, which frequently causes cracks and fracture. The material of spring is required to possess sufficient fatigue strength and tenacity, which depend largely on the condition of tempering heat treatment. In this paper, specimens are made under a number of different tempering temperatures md tested to find the optimal tempering heat treatment condition. The experiments include the verification of microscopic structure, hardness, tensile strength, fatigue crack growth rate, stress intensity factor range and residual stress. Also, decarbonization, which occurs in actual heat treatment process, is measured and allowable decarbonization depth is studied by durability test.

본 연구에서는 소형 인장 시험편에 편심된 집중하중을 가하였을 때, 크랙 주변에서의 구멍의 존재유무, 개수 및 위치에 따른 전파 거동에 대하여 규명하였다. 시뮬레이션 해석을 통하여 시험편에서 발생하는 Strain energy와 변형량, 응력에 대해 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이들 Strain energy와 변형량을 바탕으로 응력확대계수를 구하였으며, 본 연구결과를 이용하면 구조물 내에 결함이나 구멍 등이 있을 때 그 파괴 가능성을 검증할 수 있다고 사료된다.

In this study, unsaturated polyester resin, artificial lightweight coarse aggregate, artificial lightweight fine aggregate, heavy calcium carbonate and steel fiber were used to produce a steel fiber-reinforced lightweight polymer concrete with which mechanical properties were examined. Results of this experimental study showed that the flexural strength of unnotched steel fiber-reinforced lightweight polymer concrete increased from 8.61 to 13.96 MPa when mixing ratio of fiber content increased from 0 to 1.5%. Stress intensity factors($K_{IC}$) increased with increasing fiber content ratio while it did not increase with increasing notch ratio. Energy release rate ($G_{IC}$) turned out to depend upon the notch size, and it increased with increasing steel fiber content.

The fatigue characteristics of bevel gear used for differential gear of automobile was investigated in this paper. From the A-N(Almen intensity-Number of fracture)curve of bevel gear it was shown that there was a specific time that have a maximum fatigue life. Optimal peening condition was 65m/s of project velocity and 8min of project time. Fatigue life was also investigated from the S-N curve between optimal peened specimen and unpeened specimen. Another very significant point is that the crack initiation of bevel gear by shot peening was generated in the subsurface from fractography. This paper shows that shot peening process tremendously improve fatigue characteristics of bevel gear.

Experimental tests have shown that glass exhibits very different strengths when tested under biaxial and uniaxial conditions. This paper presents a study on the effects of biaxial stresses on the notional ultimate strength of glass. The study involved applying the theory of elasticity and finite element analysis of the Griffith flaw in the micro scale. The strain intensity at the tip of the critical flaw is used as the main criterion for defining the limit state of fracture in glass. A simple and robust relationship between the maximum principal stress and the uniaxial stress to cause failure of the same glass specimen has been developed. The relationship has been used for evaluating the strength values of both new and old annealed glass panels. The characteristic strength values determined in accordance with the test results based on 5% of exceedance are compared with provisions in the ASTM standard.

In this study, CT specimens were prepared from spring steel(SUP9) which was used in suspension of automobile for room temperature and low temperature service. We got the following characteristics from fatigue crack growth test carried out in the environment of room temperature and low temperature at $25^{\circ}C$, ­3$0^{\circ}C$, ­5$0^{\circ}C$, ­7$0^{\circ}C$ and ­10$0^{\circ}C$ in the range of stress ratio of 0.05 by means of opening mode displacement. The threshold stress intensity factor range ΔKth in the early stage of fatigue crack growth (Region I) and stress intensity factor range ΔK in the stable of fatigue crack growth (Region II) was decreased in proportion to descend temperature. It is assumed that the fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at low temperature and high temperature is considerable higher than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region.

Investigation for the high strength grouts using ordinary cement mortar, melamine formaldehyde condensate (MFC) with various admixtures was carried out. The physical properties of the grouts were investigated through the observation of the microstructure and the application of fracture mechanics. When the lime stone and fly ash was added with 6 wt% to the grouts, the compressive strength was about 72 MPa, 69 MPa respectively, and the flexural strength was about 11.9 MPa, 11.4 MPa respectively, the Young's modulus was about 4.3 GPa, 3.9 GPa, and the critical stress intensity was about 7.3 ×10-1MNm-1.5, 6.8×10-1MNm-1.5 respectively. When the silica fume was added with 6 wt% to the grouts, the compressive strength and the flexural strength were 81 MPa, 12.3 MPa, Young's modulus was 4.8 GPa and the critical stress intensity was about 8.4×10-1MNm-1.5.

The objective of this paper is to develop defect assessment technology for integrity evaluation of CANDU pressure tubes. In fracture mechanics analysis, three-dimensional and two-dimensional (line-spring model) finite element analyses were performed to obtain the stress intensity factor for axial and circumferential surface cracks. In leak before break (LBB) analysis, heat transfer analyses for through-wall cracks were performed by considering the cooling effect and the LBB application time was computed. It was shown that the analytical results obtained in this study provide less-conservative but accurate solution for defect assessment of CANDU pressure tubes.

This paper presents a comparative study of finite element method (FEM) and analytical method for the plane problem of a layered composite containing an internal perpendicular crack in literature. The layered composite consists of two elastic layers having different elastic constants and heights. External load is applied to the upper elastic layer by means o a rigid punch and the lower elastic layer rests on two simple supports. Numerical simulations are realized by the world wide code ANYS software. Two dimensional analysis of the problem is carried out and the results are verified by comparison with solutions reported in literature. Main goal of the numerical simulation is to investigate the normal stress ${\sigma}_x$(0, y), stress intensity factors at the crack factor and the crack opening displacements.

In this paper, the interlaminar crack problems of a fiber metal laminate (FML) under generalized plane deformation are studied using the theory of anisotropic elasticity. The crack is considered to be embedded in the matrix interlaminar region (including adhesive zone and resin rich zone) of the FML. Based on Fourier integral transformation and the stress matrix formulation, the current mixed boundary value problem is reduced to solving a system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations of the 1st kind. Within the theory of linear fracture mechanics, the stress intensity factors are defined on terms of the solutions of integral equations and numerical results are obtained for in-plane normal (mode I) crack surface loading. The effects of location and length of crack in the 3/2 and 2/1 ARALL, GLARE or CARE type FML's on the stress intensity factors are illustrated.
