In order to capture the fast crack propagation in an unmanipulated concrete fracture test, we employed mechanoluminascent(ML) material, which emits visible light when stressed, as a crack visualization tool. Three-point bending fracture test setup, a paint type ML material and a high speed camera were used to capture the images of fast moving cracks. The maximum size of coarse aggregates of concrete was used as an experimental parameter. The crack images, loading, and crack mouth opening displacement were successfully recorded as a function of time elapsed. From the test results, several interesting cracking behavior in the unmanipulated fracture test was observed in such that (1) the crack moves fast while the load is slowly decreased after the maximum loading, and (2) the crack in concrete with larger coarse aggregates moves faster than the others.

This paper presents experimental and numerical analysis results regarding the effects of an incomplete penetration defect on the fatigue lives of socket welded pipes. For the experiment, four-point bending fatigue tests with various defect geometries (defect depth and circumferential length) were performed, and test results are presented in terms of stress-life data. The results showed that for circumferentially short defects, the fatigue life tends to increase with increasing crack depth, but for longer defects, the trend becomes the opposite. Finite element analysis showed that for short defects, the maximum principal stress decreases with increases in crack depth. For a longer defect, the opposite trend was found. Furthermore, the maximum principal stress tends to increase with an increase in defect length regardless of the defect depth.

프레팅 피로균열의 2단계 성장과 분지, 즉 균열이 경사방향으로 성장하다가 방향을 전환하여 수직방향으로 성장하는 과정을 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 해석에서 A7075-T6의 프레팅 피로실험자료를 이용하였다. 균열성장방향을 결정하는 기준으로 최대 접선응력확대계수, 최대 접선응력확대계수범위, 최대 균열성장속도의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 하나의 기준으로는 분지 전후의 균열성장방향을 모사할 수 없고, 분지 전후에 다른 기준을 적용하면 모사가 가능하였다. 또한 분지가 발생하는 균열 길이를 결정하는 방법도 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a multi-scale crack detection method. This method uses decomposition, composition, and shape properties. It is based on morphology algorithm, crack features. We use a morphology operator which extracts patterns of crack. It segments cracks and background using opening and closing operations. Morphology based segmentation is better than existing integration methods using subtraction in detecting a crack it has small width. However, morphology methods using only one structure element could detect only fixed width crack. Thus, we use decomposition and composition methods. We use a decimation method for decomposition. After decomposition and morphology operation, we get edge images given by binary values. Our method calculates values of properties such as the number of pixels and the maximum length of the segmented region. We decide whether the segmented region belongs to cracks according to those data. Experimental results show that our proposed multi-scale crack detection method has better results than those of existing detection methods.

The delamination fracture of multidirectional carbon-fiber/epoxy laminates under the Mode I condition has been studied using the modified beam analysis for a fracture mechanics approach. It was found that the variation of fracture energy $G_IC$ with increasing length of the propagating crack exhibited a minimum for the pure interlaminar fracture and a maximum for the intraply fracture,i.e. a rising "R-curve", which was strongly affected by the degree of fiber bridging and crack-tip splitting arising in the global delamination. The maximum $G_IC$ value was significantly dependent on such types of delamination as no crack jumping, crack jumping into the adjacent ply and edge-delamination. It was shown also that the value of "effective flexural modulus" estimated from the modified beam analysis increased much with the development of fiber bridging behind the crack tip.ehind the crack tip.

Constant-load-amplitude fatigue crack growth tests were carried out on 5083-0 aluminum alloy under elastic and elastic-plastic conditions. Crack length, crack closure and monotonic fatigue deformation were measured by Kikukawa's unloading elastic compliance monitoring technique and elastic-plastic fatigue crack growth rates were analysed in terms of J integral. Elastic-plastic fatigue crack growth rates can be well expressed by effective cyclic J integral until general yielding occurs. Beyond general yielding, monotonic fatigue deformation becomes significant and growth rates cannot be characterized by a single parameter of effective cyclic J integral alone. However, introducing one more parameter, maximum J integral J$_{max}$ to account for the effect of monotonic fatigue deformation, can explain fatigue crack growth behavior beyond general yielding.

This paper studies fracture initiation direction of two parallel non-coplanar cracks of equal length. Using the dislocation pile-up modelling, singular integral equations for two parallel cracks subjected to mixed-mode loading are derived and the crack-tip field including singular and non-singular terms is obtained. The kinking angle is determined by using the maximum hoop stress criterion, or the ${\sigma}_{\theta}$-criterion. Results are presented for simple uniaxial tension and biaxial loading. The biaxiality ratio has a noticeable influence on crack growth direction. For the case of biaxial tension, when neglecting the T-stress the crack branching angle is overestimated for small crack inclination angles relative to the largest applied principal stress direction, and underestimated for large crack inclination angles.

The damage behavior of soda-lime glass was studied due to a steel ball of 1mm and 2mm at oblique impact test. The thickness of glass specimen were 3mm and 5mm and oblique degrees of impact were 90$^{\circ}$,70$^{\circ}$ and 50$^{\circ}$. After the steel ball impact test, the crack patterns were investigated using a stereo-microscope. In addition, the finite element method was performed to analyze the stresses distribution and variation in the oblique impacted glass by steel ball. As a result of the impact test, the crack length of 90$^{\circ}$impacted glass was the largest and that of 50$^{\circ}$impacted glass was the smallest. In particular, as the impact velocity and diameter of the steel ball increased, the difference of crack length was prominent. The finite element analysis showed the maximum principle stresses distribution in contact area of glass specimen. The result of analysis was accorded with the crack growth behavior by the oblique impact test.

The influence of cracks on the elastic deflection and ultimate bearing capacity of eccentric thin-walled columns with both ends pinned was studied in this paper. First, a method was developed and applied to determine the elastic deflection of the eccentric thin-walled columns containing some model-I cracks. A trigonometric series solution of the elastic deflection equation was obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method. Compared with the solution presented in Okamura (1981), this solution meets the needs of compatibility of deformation and is useful for thin-walled columns. Second, a two-criteria approach to determine the stability factor ${\varphi}$ has been suggested and its analytical formula has been derived. Finally, as an example, box columns with a center through-wall crack were analyzed and calculated. The effects of cracks on both the maximum deflection and the stability coefficient ${\varphi}$ for various crack lengths or eccentricities were illustrated and discussed. The analytical and numerical results of tests on the columns show that the deflection increment caused by the cracks increases with increased crack length or eccentricity, and the critical transition crack length from yielding failure to fracture failure ${\xi}_c$ is found to decrease with an increase of the slenderness ratio or eccentricity.

저속시험 및 약 11.4m/s까지의 고속시험을 받는 다방향 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합적층판의 층간파괴거동에 대해 양외팔보(DCB)시험편을 이용하여 연구했다. 모드I의 하중을 1.0m/s이상으로 가한 결과 하중-시간곡선에 동적효과가 발생하여, 시험속도에 비례하는 단순관게식으로 예상되는 것보다 더 큰 균열속도가 나타났다. 시험편 개구변위와 균열길이만을 사용하는 수정된 선형보해석식은 동적인 층간파괴에너지$G_{IC}$를 평가하기 위해 유효했다. 또한 굽힘탕선계수의 실측값은 시험속도의 증가에 다라 증가했는데, 이를 $G_{IC}$의 평가시에 고려했다. 시험속도가 1.0m/s까지 증가할 때, 균열개시 및 정지시의 $G_{IC}$값은 변화가 없었으나, 11.4m/s의 속도에서 최대 GIC값은 섬유가교효과의 증대로 크게 증가했다. 또한 초기균열길이가 길수록 고속시의 최대GIC값은 저하했다.
