The only hardness of 2nd phase of martensite in dual phase steel which was composed of the martensite and ferrite was changed. Fatigue test was conducted by cantilever type of self-made rotated bending fatigue testing machine. The corrosion fatigue fracture behaviors of dual phase steel were investigated in 3% NaCl solution at $N_f$ = $1.5\times$$10^5$ $N_f$=1.0 $\times$ $10^6$ cycles. The fatigue strength was increased with increasing the hardness of 2nd phase. The size and number of corrsion pits were influenced by the 2nd phase hardness and pits remain constant in size just after they were transited into cracks. The life of crack initiation was effected by stress level. The shape of relation of $\Delta$K and da/dn has smaller scattering in it in 3% NaCl solution than that in air. The higher the 2nd phase hardness is, the higher the corrosion fatigue life becomes. Corrosion fatigue fracture behavior was effected by mechanics in case of $N_f$=1.5$\times$10$^5$$N_f$=1.5$\times$10$^6$ cycles.

This study is to analyze the intensity of welding part by simulating the dynamic procedure during the fracture of plates with spot welding. The upper and tower plates attached with spot welding can be seen to fall apart at the elapsed time of 0.64 ms after the upper plate is stretched from the lower plate. The maximum von Mises stress is shown at the welding part in the mid of upper and lower plates. The internal energy decreases largely and the kinetic energy increases suddenly near the elapsed time of 0.64 ms when welding part breaks down. The sliding energy decreases with step-by-step style as the time elapses. The value of this energy becomes 0 at the elapsed time of 0.2 ms and on the contrary, two plates stick each other as this value becomes a minus after this time.

When the dynamic crack propagates along the boundary at the strip with composite materials and tears apart it, the equivalent stress and strain, and the traction stress are investigated near its boundary. There are the maximum equivalent stress and plastic strain at the very seperated part and the maximum displacement at the bent part of the end of strip. The traction stress becomes higher as the separation distance becomes more. Its maximum value becomes 75 MPa as this distance becomes 0.015 mm. As this distance becomes more than 0.015 mm, this stress becomes lower. As this distance becomes more than 0.13 mm, the value of this stress becomes 0 constantly. This study aims at doing the basic study to provide the data necessary for the precise analysis of fracture intensity, the safety design and the development of advanced materials.

As agricultural machinery has become larger and tillage practices have changed in recent decades, compaction as a result of wheel traffic and tillage has caused increasing concern. If strategies to manage compaction, such as deep tillage, could be applied only where needed, economic and environmental benefits would result. For such site-specific compaction management to occur, compacted areas within fields must be efficiently sensed and mapped. We previously developed an on-the-go soil strength profile sensor (SSPS) for this purpose. The SSPS measures within-field variability in soil strength at five soil depths up to 50 cm. Determining the variability structure of SSPS data is needed for site-specific field management since the variability structure determines the required intensity of data collection and is related to the delineation of compaction management zones. In this paper, soil bin data were analyzed by a spectral analysis technique to determine the variability structure of the SSPS data, and to investigate causes and implications of this variability. In the soil bin, we observed a repeating pattern due to soil fracture with an approximate 12- to 19-cm period, especially at the 10-cm depth, possibly due to cyclic development of soil fracture on this interval. These findings will facilitate interpretation of soil strength data and enhance application of the SSPS.

A loading device to be used in fracture experiment is presented. It's loading angle can be adjusted from $-45^{\circ}$ to $105^{\circ}$ at intervals of $15^{\circ}$ for a CTS ( compact tension-shear) specimen, so that it is to be useful to measure mixed mode toughness. The equations to give the $K_ I$, $K_ I1$ and J-integral for the experiment are evluated though finite elemetn analysis in which the loading procedure is simulated and the behaviors of the specimen such as load-displacement curve are estimated. In the course of the evaluation the values $K_ I$, $K_ I1$ and J-integral calculated through recentrly released numerical methods are employed as the reference ones.

It is important to ensure the reliability of the first localized reactor vessel steel. To satisfy with this purpose, a study on the impact/hardness, low cycle fatigue(LCF), crack growth rate(da/dN) and fracture toughness( ) of base material(BM) and weld metal(WM) were performed under room temperature air and corrosion conditions. A summary of the results is as folows : (1) Charpy impact absorbed energy of BM was the highest value, heat affected zoon(HAZ) and the lowest, WM. The hardness of BM was similar to HAZ. (2) Coefficients of Manson equation using the monotonic tensile test data were obtained for the present material. (3) The effects of stress ratio and ambient (120.deg. C and NaCl) condition on da/dN were investigated, da/dN with NaCl condition expressed the highest value. (4) The results of Charpy V-notch impact test had good correlation with $K_{IC}$ characteristics and the lowest curve of $K_{IC}$ for BM was derived, more researches about WM and HAZ are required hereafter.

The stress corrosion index of Kumamoto andesite are evaluated by two types of testing method. One is the uniaxial compression test under various water vapor pressures, and the other is the double torsion (DT) test under a constant water vapor pressure. For the uniaxial compression tests, the uniaxial compressive strength increases linearly with decreasing water vapor pressure on the double logarithmic coordinates. As the results, the stress corrosion index obtained is estimated 44. On the other hand, in the DT test, the relaxation (RLX) test and the constant displacement rate (CDR) test were conducted. For the CDR test, as the displacement rate of loading point increases, the crack velocity increases. However, the fracture toughness is constant regardless of the change in displacement rate and the average fracture toughness is evaluated $2.07MN/m^{3/2}$. For the RLX test, the crack velocity-stress intensity factor curves are smooth and linear. The stress corrosion index estimated from the curves is 37. Comparing stress corrosion indexes in the uniaxial compression test and the DT test, there is no significant difference in these values, and they are considered to be in coincident each other regardless of testing methods. Therefore, it is concluded that stress corrosion is one of material constants of rock.

콘크리트는 여러 구성 성분들이 불규칙적인 배열을 이루어 형성된 복합재료이지만, 과거에는 이 재료를 하나의 단종재료로 간주하여 해석하였기 때문에, LEFM에서 사용되는 파괴인성계수만으로는 콘크리트의 파괴역학적 접근이 어렵다는 것 이외에는 파괴인성계수들의 크기의존성에 대한 이유라든가, 실험을 통해서 관측된 구조물 두께 방향으로의 서로 다른 깊이의 균열 진행 현상에 대해서는 설명하기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구는 콘크리트를 하나의 복합재료로써 각각의 구성요소들이 차지하고 있는 체적비 및 배열상의 효과를 고려하여 복합재료의 파괴거동을 해석하고, 구성재료의 수와 파괴인성계수와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 각각의 구성요소들을 연립변형모드( SD mode)로 배열시킨 조건에서 복합재료역학개념에 입각하여 해석한 결과, 일반적으로 실험이나 비선형파괴역학 해석과 같이 하중-변위곡선 상단부에서 비선형 거동이 관측되었다. 또한 임계응력확대계수( $K_IC$)나 파괴에너지($G_r$)는 구성원의 수나 보의 크기에 대해서 거의 무관한 값을 나타내지만, 임계군열선단개구변위 ($CTOD_c$)는 크기에 영향을 받음을 보여 주었다. 균열의 진행속도는 균열이 진행될수록 감소하며, 파괴인성이 작은 구성원에서부터 균열이 발생되어 결과적으로 보의 두께 방향으로 서로 다른 크기의 균열길이가 생성됨이 관측되었다.

The present study investigates the impact shear strength of thermal aged Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder joints at impact speeds ranging from 0.5 m/s to 2.5 m/s. The specimens were thermal aged for 24, 100, 250 and 1000 hours at $100^{\circ}C$. The experimental results demonstrate that the shear strength of the solder joint decreases with an increase in the load speed and aging time. The shear strength of the solder joint aged averagely decreased by 43% with an increase in the strain rate. For the as-reflowed specimens, the mode II stress intensity factor ($K_{II}$) of interfacial IMC between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and a copper substrate also was found to decrease from $1.63MPa.m^{0.5}$ to $0.97MPa.m^{0.5}$ in the speed range tested here. The degradations in the shear strength and fracture toughness of the aged solder joints are mainly caused by the growth of IMC layers at the solder/substrate interface.

This paper presents methodologies for remaining life prediction of plain concrete structural components considering tension softening effect. Non-linear fracture mechanics principles (NLFM) have been used for crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction. Various tension softening models such as linear, bi-linear, tri-linear, exponential and power curve have been presented with appropriate expressions. A methodology to account for tension softening effects in the computation of SIF and remaining life prediction of concrete structural components has been presented. The tension softening effects has been represented by using any one of the models mentioned above. Numerical studies have been conducted on three point bending concrete structural component under constant amplitude loading. Remaining life has been predicted for different loading cases and for various tension softening models. The predicted values have been compared with the corresponding experimental observations. It is observed that the predicted life using bi-linear model and power curve model is in close agreement with the experimental values. Parametric studies on remaining life prediction have also been conducted by using modified bilinear model. A suitable value for constant of modified bilinear model is suggested based on parametric studies.
