본 논문에서는 휜 광폭평판의 두께와 폭, 균열길이 그리고 가공경화지수의 변화가 휜 광폭평판의 균열부 구속상태에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 5가지의 휜 광폭평판 두께, 3가지의 균열길이, 3가지의 휜 광폭평판 폭 그리고 3가지의 가공경화지수를 고려한 3차원 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. Ramberg-Osgood 관계식을 만족하는 비선형 재료로 가정하였으며 균열부 구속상태를 정량화하기 위해서 Q-응력을 이용하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석 결과를 바탕으로 기하학적 형상 및 재료특성에 따른 휜 광폭평판의 Q-응력 변화를 평가하였다. 평가 결과 면외 구속조건에 의한 영향은 면내 구속조건과 밀접한 관계가 있었으며, 면외 구속조건이 면내 구속조건 보다 균열부 구속상태에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다.

Since the linear elastic fracture analysis has been proved to be insufficient in predicting the failure of strain hardening materials, a number of fracture concepts have been studied which remain applicable in the presence of plasticity near a crack tip. This work thereby presents a new finite element model to predict the elastic-plastic crack-tip field and fatigue life of center-cracked panels(CCP) with ductile fracture under large-scale yielding conditions. Also, this study has been carried out to investigate the path-dependence of J-integral within the plastic zone for elastic-perfectly plastic, bilinear elastic-plastic, and nonlinear elastic-plastic materials. Based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the p-version finite element is employed to account for the accurate values of J-integral, the most dominant fracture parameter, and the shape of plastic zone near a crack tip by using the J-integral method. To predict the fatigue life, the conventional Paris law has been modified by substituting the range of J-value denoted by ${\Delta}J$ for ${\Delta}K$. The experimental fatigue test is conducted with five CCP specimens to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. It is noted that the relationship between the crack length a and ${\Delta}K$ in LEFM analysis shows a strong linearity, on the other hand, the nonlinear relationship between a and ${\Delta}J$ is detected in EPFM analysis. Therefore, this trend will be depended especially in the case of large scale yielding. The numerical results by the proposed model are compared with the theoretical solutions in literatures, experimental results, and the numerical solutions by the conventional h-version of the finite element method.
