The objective of this paper is to examine the detection limit, growth characteristics and notch curvature radius in short crack problem. Measurement techniques such as ultrasonic method and back-face strain compliance method were adopted. The fatigue crack growth rate of the short crack is slower than that of a long crack for a notched specimen. The characteristic of crack growth and crack closure is same as the case of a delay of crack growth caused by constant amplitude load for an ideal crack or single peak overload for a fatigue crack. The short crack is detected effectively by ultrasonic method. A short surface crack occurs in the middle of specimen thickness and is transient to a through crack depth is larger than the notch curvature radius.

Chloride ion penetration and carbonation are the most important factors in the durability problems of reinforced concrete structures. Most of the existing studies on those subjects are focused on the no-crack concrete, though the existence of crack may strongly affect the chloride ion penetration and carbonation. To evaluate the influence of crack on the chloride ion penetration and carbonation and to assess the service life of reinforced concrete more accurately, finite volume analyses (FVA) were performed based on the FV mesh containing the ideal crack whose width is uniform along the depth. Analytical results show that the influence of crack width and depth is much more pronounced for the chloride ion penetration than for the carbonation.

The one-parameter singular expression for stresses and displacements near a crack tip has been widely thought to be sufficiently accurate over a reasonable re ion for any geometry and loading conditions. In many cases, however subsequent terms of the series expansion are quantitatively significant, and so we now consider the evaluation of such terms and their effect on the predicted crack growth direction. For this purpose the problem of a cracked orthotropic plate subjected to a biaxial load is analysed. It is assumed that the material is ideal homogeneous anisotropic. BY considering the effect of the load applied parallel to the plane of the crack, the distribution of stresses and displacements at the crack tip is reanalyzed. In order to determine values for the angle of initial crack extension we employ the normal stress ratio criterion.

Creep-fatigue crack growth models have been proposed employing $(C_t)_{avg}$ as a crack tip parameter characterizing the time-dependent crack growth. The basic assumptions made in these previous models were ideal creep reversal conditions such as no creep reversal and complete creep reversal condition. Due to this assumption, the applicability of the models was limited since they did not consider partial creep reversal condition which is usually observed in many engineering metals at high temperature. In this paper the creep reversal parameter, Temperature;$C_R$, which was defined by Grover, is critically evaluated to quantity the extent of partial creep reversal at the crack tip. This approach does not rely on any simplifying assumptions regarding the extent of the amount of creep reversal during the unloading part of a trapezoidal fatigue cycles. It is shown that the $(C_t)_{avg}$ value calculated for 9Cr steel agrees well with the experimentally measured one. It is argued that the extent of improvement is not significant when the result is compared with that of the conventional model which has an assumption of full creep reversal behavior.

It is required to evaluate nondestructively the crack depth of surface-breaking cracks for the assurance of safety of structure. Optical generation of ultrasound produces well defined pulses with a repeatable frequency content, that are free of any mechanical resonances; they are broad band and are ideal for the measurement of attenuation and scattering over a wide frequency range. Self-calibrating surface signal transmission measurement is very sensitive and practical tool for surface-breaking crack depth. In this paper, the self-calibrating technique by laser-based ultrasound is used to evaluate the depth of surface-breaking crack of material. It is suggested that the relationship between the signal transmission and crack depth can be used as a practical model for predicting the surface-breaking crack depths from the signal transmission measured in structure.

구조물의 파괴는 주로 제조 과정에서 생긴 결함이나 사용 중 국부적인 손상의 원인으로 발생되는 균열에 의해 나타난다. 따라서 구조물이나 관련된 부품들의 균열 성장 과정을 분석하는 것은 구조물의 안정성 확보를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 균열의 성장을 분석하기 위해 노치가 있는 시편을 인장 실험하며, 마이크로 포커스 X-선 단층촬영을 이용하여 균열 성장을 관찰하였고, 노치가 있는 시편의 단층촬영의 영상으로부터 3 차원 재구축하여 만든 유한요소 모델과 이상적인 모양의 노치를 만든 유한요소 모델을 XFEM에 적용하여 3 차원 균열 성장의 시뮬레이션을 실시 하였다. 실제 시편의 인장 실험 결과와 시뮬레이션 실험들의 결과를 비교하였고, 보다 정밀한 3 차원적 균열 성장의 분석을 위해서는 실제적인 구조물 및 균열의 형태에 대한 3 차원 모델링이 반드시 실시되어야 함을 확인하였다.

This paper demonstrates an explicit-implicit, finite element analysis for linear as well as nonlinear hygrothermal stress problems. Additional features, such as moisture diffusion equation, crack element and virtual crack extension(VCE) method for evaluating J-integral are implemented in this program. The Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics(LEFM) Theory is employed to estimate the crack driving force under the transient condition for an existing crack. Pores in materials are assumed to be saturated with moisture in the liquid form at the room temperature, which may vaporize as the temperature increases. The vaporization effects on the crack driving force are also studied. The ideal gas equation is employed to estimate the thermodynamic pressure due to vaporization at each time step after solving basic nodal values. A set of field equations governing the time dependent response of porous media are derived from balance laws based on the mixture theory. Darcy's law is assumed for the fluid flow through the porous media. Perzyna's viscoplastic model incorporating the Von-Mises yield criterion are implemented. The Green-Naghdi stress rate is used for the invariant of stress tensor under superposed rigid body motion. Isotropic elements are used for the spatial discretization and an iterative scheme based on the full Newton-Raphson method is used for solving the nonlinear governing equations.

This paper examines the problem of a penny-shaped crack in a thermoporoelastic body. On the basis of the recently developed general solutions for thermoporoelasticity, appropriate potentials are suggested and the governing equations are solved in view of the similarity to those for pure elasticity. Exact and closed form fundamental solutions are expressed in terms of elementary functions. The singularity behavior is then discussed. The present solutions are compared with those in literature and an excellent agreement is achieved. Numerical calculations are performed to show the influence of the material parameters upon the distribution of the thermoporoelastic field. Due to its ideal property, the present solution is a natural benchmark to various numerical codes and simplified analyses.

This paper presents a flexible low-profile antenna sensor for fatigue crack detection and monitoring. The sensor was inspired by the sense of pain in bio-systems as a protection mechanism. Because the antenna sensor does not need wiring for power supply or data transmission, it is an ideal candidate as sensing elements for the implementation of engineering sensor skins with a dense sensor distribution. Based on the principle of microstrip patch antenna, the antenna sensor is essentially an electromagnetic cavity that radiates at certain resonant frequencies. By implementing a metallic structure as the ground plane of the antenna sensor, crack development in the metallic structure due to fatigue loading can be detected from the resonant frequency shift of the antenna sensor. A monostatic microwave radar system was developed to interrogate the antenna sensor remotely. Fabrication and characterization of the antenna sensor for crack monitoring as well as the implementation of the remote interrogation system are presented.

CNG 차량에서 실사용 중 Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 외부 복합재 층에 결함이 발생된다면, 용기의 구조적 성능 즉, 원래의 설계수명보다 반복수명이 감소되는 현상을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 복합재 결함을 고려한 복합재료 압력용기의 유한요소 모델링과 해석 기법을 제시하였다. Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 유한요소해석은 자긴처리 공정에서 알루미늄 라이너의 소성 변형으로 인해 경로 의존적 현상을 보이므로, 실사용 중 결함이 발생되는 실제 환경을 고려한 해석에서 결함은 자긴압력 이후에 도입되어야한다. 이러한 상황의 사실적인 시뮬레이션을 위해, 해석의 중간단계에서 결함이 도입되는 유한요소 모델링과 해석 기법이 제시되었으며, 해석결과는 해석의 시작단계에서부터 모델에 초기결함을 내포하는 일반적 유한요소해석과 비교되었다. 제안된 해석 기업은 Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 복합재층 손상에 따른 영향성 평가 및 실사용 중에서의 검사 기준을 마련하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.
