Recently, ceramic / metal bonded joints have led to inccreasing use of structural materials such as automobile, heat engine in various industries. In this paper, a method to analyze an interface crack under both residual stresses and applied loading was proposed. and some results of boundary element method(BEM) analysis Were presented, Fracture thoughness tests of ceramic/metals bonded joints with an interface crack Were carried out, and the stress intensity factors of these joints Ware analyzed by BEM. Also crack propagtion direction was simulated numerically by using BEM. Crack propagation angle was able to easily determine based on the maximum stress concept. The prediction of fracture strength by the fracture thoughness of the ceramics/metals bonded joints was proposed.

This study addresses cracks and fracture problems in engineering structures that may cause significant challenges and safety concerns, with a focus on pressure vessels in nuclear power plants. Comprehensive parametric three-dimensional mixed mode fracture analyses for inclined and deflected nozzle corner cracks with various crack shape aspect ratios and depth ratios in nuclear reactor pressure vessels are carried out. Stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions are obtained using FRAC3D, which is part of Fracture and Crack Propagation Analysis System (FCPAS), employing enriched finite elements along the crack front. Also, improved empirical equations are developed to allow the determination of mixed mode SIFs, K_I, K_II, and K_III, for any values of the parameters considered in the study. This study provides practical solutions to assess the remaining life and fail-safe conditions of nuclear reactors by providing accurate SIF determination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of low intensity pulsed ultrasound on TGF-$\beta$1 expression and healing of rat femur penetrating fractures. Methods: Rats were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine. Using aseptic technique, we exposed the lateral right femoral diaphysis with removal of the periosteum. We made one hole along its long axis with an electrically-driven 1.8 mm diameter drill bit. Postoperatively, rats were divided into two groups (a control group, n=15; an experimental group, n=15). The experimental group was treated with low intensity pulsed ultrasound (pulse rate: 1:4, 0.5 W/$cm^2$, 10 minutes, 1 time per day) for 3 weeks. The control group was treated with sham ultrasound (with the US unit turned off). Results: The experimental group achieved more callus formation and TGF-$\beta$1 expression than the control group at the $7^{th}$, $14^{th}$ and $21^{st}$ days after low intensity pulsed ultrasound treatment. Conclusion: This study suggests that low intensity pulsed ultrasound facilitates bone fracture repair, possibly via increased TGF-$\beta$1 expression.

전단응력에 의한 전단강도 및 모드 II 파괴인성은 이산화탄소 지중저장에서의 덮개암 및 주입층의 안정성 평가에 활용되는 중요한 인자들이다. 본 연구에서는 짧은 보 압축시험을 이용하여 코코니노 사암의 전단강도 및 모드 II 파괴인성을 측정하였다. 측정된 평균 전단강도는 23.53 MPa이며, 모드 II 파괴인성은 1.58 MPa${\surd}$m이다. 응력확대계수(stress intensity factor)는 변위외삽법(displacement extrapolation method)을 이용한 유한요소법으로 결정하였다. 또한 이축응력(biaxial stress)과 수분포화(water saturation)가 모드 II 파괴인성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 이축응력이 증가할수록 파괴인성도 증가하였고, 완전포화된 시험편의 파괴인성은 건조상태의 파괴인성보다 대략 11.4% 감소하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 유효탄성균열모델과 점성균열모델의 개념에 기초한 임계응력확대계수, 임계균열단개구변위와 파괴에너지, 이선형 연화 곡선같은 콘크리트의 파괴특성들을 초기재령 콘크리트에 관해 구명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 모드 I의 파괴를 일으킬 수 있는 쐐기쪼갬시험이 노치가 있는 육각형의 쐐기 시험체에 대하여 수행되었다. 강도와 재령의 변화에 따라 하중-균열입구변위 곡선이 얻어졌으며, 이것은 선형탄성 파괴역학과 유한요소법에 의해 분석되었다. 실험 결과를 분석한 결과, 재령 1일부터 재령 28일까지의 임계응력확대계수와 파괴에너지는 증가하였으며, 임계균열단개구변위는 감소하였다. 또한 수치해석을 통하여 재령 1일부터 재령 28일까지의 이선형 연화 곡선의 네 파라미터를 구할 수 있었다. 이렇게 얻어진 초개재령 콘크리트의 파괴특성치와 이선형 연화 곡선은 초기재령 콘크리트의 파괴 기준과 유한요소해석시의 입력 상수로서 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In order to use effectively a machinery part with fillet, it is necessary to determine a proper fillet shape in design step, Study of such problem by fracture mechanical criterion is rare. So, this paper focuses on the design of fillet radius in fracture mechanical aspect. Finite element method was used to obtain crack tip stress intensity factor. Stress intensity factor was calculated by COD(crack opening displacement0method proposed by Ingraffea and Manu. The parameter used in this study are thickness ration, filet radium and crack length . If fillet radius increase , crack propagation may be accelerated. Critical crack length is inversely proportional to fillet radius.

Fracture mechanics is one of the major areas of the pressurized thermal shock (PTS) evaluation. To evaluate the reactor pressure vessel integrity associated with PTS, PFM methodology demands precise calculation of temperature, stress, and stress intensity factor for the variety of PTS transients. However, the existence of stainless steel cladding, with different thermal, physical, and mechanical property, at the inner surface of reactor pressure vessel complicates the fracture mechanics analysis. In this paper, treatment schemes to evaluate stress and resulting stress intensity factor for RPV with stainless steel clad are introduced. For a reference transient, the effects of clad thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficients on deterministic fracture mechanics analysis are examined.

The structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessel under pressurized thermal shock (PTS) is evaluated in this study. For given material properties and transient histories such as temperature and pressure, the stress distribution is found and stress intensity factors are obtained for a wide range of crack sizes. The stress intensity factors are compared with the fracture toughness to check if cracking is expected to occur during the transient. A round robin problem of the PTS during a small break loss of coolant transient has been analyzed as a part of the international comparative assessment study, and the evaluation results are discussed. The maximum allowable nil-ductility transition temperatures are determined for various crack sizes.

Dynamic fracture characteristics of Polycarbonate WL-RDCB specimen were investigated. The dynamic crack propagation velocities in these specimens were measured by using both high speed camera system and silver paint grid method developed and justified in the INHA Fracture Mechanics Laboratory. The measured crack propagation velocities were fed into the INSAMCR code(a dynamic finite element code which has been developed in the INBA Fracture Mechanics Laboratory) to extract the dynamic stress intensity factors. It has been confirmed that both dynamic crack arrest toughness and the static crack arrest toughness depend on both the geometry and the dynamic crack propagation velocity of specimens. The maximum dynamic crack propagation velocity of Polycarbonate WL-RDCB specimen was found to be dependent on the material property, geometry and the type of loading. The dynamic cracks in these Polycarbonate WL-RDCB specimens seemed to propagate in a successive manner, involving distinguished 'propagation-arrest-propagation-arrest' steps on the microsecond time scale. It was also found that the relat-ionship between dynamic stress intensity factor and dynamic crack propagation velocities might be represented by the typical '$\Gamma$'shape.
