Current guidance considers that uniaxially loaded specimen with a deep crack is used for the determination of the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. However, reactor pressure vessel is under biaxial loading in real and the existence of deep crack is not probable through periodic in-service-inspection. The elastic stress intensity factor and the elastic-plastic J-integral which were used for crack-tip stress field and fracture mechanics assessment parameters. The difference of the loading condition and crack geometry can significantly influence on these parameters. Thus, a constraint effect caused by differences between standard specimens and a real structure can over/underestimate the fracture toughness, and it affects the results of the structural integrity assessment, consequentially. The present paper investigates the constraint effects by evaluating the master curve $T_0$ reference temperature of PCVN (Pre-cracked Charpy V-Notch) and small scale cruciform specimens which was designed to simulate biaxial loading condition with shallow crack through the fracture toughness tests and 3-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analyses. Based on the finite element analysis results, the fracture toughness values of a small scale cruciform specimen were estimated, and the geometry-dependent factors of the cruciform specimen considered in the present study were determined. Finally, the transferability of the test results of these specimens was discussed.

The pressure tube is a major component of the CANDU reactor, which supports nuclear fuel bundle and it's containment vessel. If a flaw is found during the periodic inspection from the pressure tubes, the integrity evaluation must be carried out, and the safety requirements must be satisfied for continued service. In order to complete the integrity evaluation, complicated and iterative calculation procedures are required. Besides, a lot of data and knowledge for the evaluation are required for the entire integrity evaluation process. For this reason, an integrity evaluation system, which provides efficient way of evaluation with the help of attached databases, was developed. The developed system was built on the basis of ASME Sec. XI and FFSG(Fitness For Service Guidelines for zirconium alloy pressure tubes in operating CANDU reactors) issued by the AECL, and covers the delayed hydride cracking(DHC). Various analysis methods are provided for the integrity evaluation of pressure tube. In order to verify the developed system, several case studies have been performed and the results were compared with those from AECL. A good agreement was observed between those two results.

Digital image correlation (DIC) is now a popular and extensively used full-field metrology technique. In general, DIC is performed by using a turnkey solution offered by various manufacturers of DIC. In this paper, a simple and economical set-up for DIC is proposed which uses easily accessible digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera rather than industrial couple-charged device (CCD) cameras. The paper gives a description of aspects of carrying a DIC experiment which includes experimental set-up, specimen preparation, image acquisition and analysis. The details provided here will be helpful to carry DIC experiments without specialized DIC testing rig. To validate the responses obtained from proposed DIC set-up, tension and fatigue tests on specimens made of IS 2062 Gr. E300 steel are determined. Tensile parameters for a flat specimen and stress intensity factor for an eccentrically-loaded single edge notch tension specimen are evaluated from results of DIC experiment. Results obtained from proposed DIC experiments are compared with those obtained from conventional methods and are found to be in close agreement. It is also noted that the high resolution of DSLR allows the use of proposed approach for fracture characterization which could not be carried out with a typical turnkey DIC solution employing a camera of 2MP resolution.

Laser Assisted Thermo-Compression Bonding (LATCB) has been proposed to improve the "chip tilt due to the difference in solder bump height" that occurs during the conventional semiconductor chip bonding process. The bonding module of the LATCB system has used a piezoelectric actuator to control the inclination of the compression jig on a micro scale, and the piezoelectric actuator has been directly coupled to the compression jig to minimize the assembly tolerance of the compression jig. However, this structure generates a lateral force in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted, and the stacked piezoelectric element vulnerable to the lateral force has a risk of failure. In this paper, the optimal design of the flexure hinge was performed to minimize the lateral force generated in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted by using the displacement difference of the piezoelectric actuator in the bonding module for LATCB. The design variables of the flexure hinge were defined as the hinge height, the minimum diameter, and the notch radius. And the effect of the change of each variable on the stress generated in the flexible hinge and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator was analyzed. Also, optimization was carried out using commercial structural analysis software. As a result, when the displacement difference between the piezoelectric actuators is the maximum (90um), the maximum stress generated in the flexible hinge is 11.5% of the elastic limit of the hinge material, and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator is less than 1N.

초기균열을 갖는 대부분의 구초체는 부재크기가 증가함에 따라 강도가 저하한다. 이러한 현상을 크기효과(size effect)라고 한다. 유리, 금속, 콘크리트 동, 구조재료중에서 콘크리트는 비록 초기균열이 없더라도 이 size effect 현상을 보인다. 현존의 크기효과 법칙에 따르면 매우 큰 콘크리트 구조체는 거의 하중을 저하할 수 없다. 그러나 실제로는 초기 균열이 없는 경우 상당한 크기의 응력을 저항할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 매우 큰 구조체와 작은 구조체는 강도기준의 적용이 합당하고, 그 중간 크기의 구조체는 비선형파괴역학의 적용이 합당함을 말한다. 이 논문에서는 비선형파괴역학에 근거하여 유도된 실험식에, 기존의 실험치를 이용하여 비선형회귀분석올 행하여 실험상수를 정함으로써 일축압축, 할열(splitting)인장 및 전단강도에 대한 실험식을 제시한다.

Fatigue cracks due to thermal stratification or corrosion in pipelines of nuclear power plants can cause serious problems on reactor cooling system. Therefore, the development of an integrated technology including fabrication of standard specimens and their practical usage is needed to enhance the reliability of nondestructive testing. The test material was austenitic STS 304, which is used as pipelines in the Reactor Coolant System of a nuclear power plants. The best condition for fabrication of thermal fatigue cracks at the notch plate was selected using the thermal stress analysis of ANSYS. The specimen was installed from the tensile tester and underwent continuos tension loads of 51,000N. Then, after the specimen was heated to $450^{\circ}C$ for 1 minute using HF induction heater, it was cooled to $20^{\circ}C$ in 1 minute using a mixture of dry ice and water. The initial crack was generated at 17,000 cycles, 560 hours later (1cycle/2min.) and the depth of the thermal fatigue crack reached about 40% of the thickness of the specimen at 22,000 cycles. As a results of optical microscope and SEM analysis, it is confirmed that fabricated thermal fatigue cracks have the same characteristics as real fatigue cracks in nuclear power plants. The crack shape and size were identified.

용접구조물의 루트부는 외력에 의한 응력 집중에 의해 파손되기 쉽다. 따라서 구조물의 안전성 및 신뢰성 측면에서 홈 가공한 그루브 용접에 의한 완전용입 용접이 일반적으로 요구되어진다. 하지만 필릿 T-이음부 용접은 루트부의 갭과 같은 불완전 용입부를 만들어내기 쉬움에도 불구하고 홈 가공 시간 및 용접봉 소모량을 줄이기 위해 이러한 필릿용접이 자주 행해지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 필릿 용접구조물의 플래이트(또는 플랜지)와 웨브 부분에 발생하는 용접잔류 응력과, 특히 불완전 용입에 의한 루트부 갭을 갖는 양면 T-이음부의 노치부분에 발생하는 잔류응력 분포를 해석하고자 하였다. 해석을 위해서 서브머지드 아-크 용접에 의한 단층 및 다층패스용접 모델을 선정하였으며, 열전도 및 열탄소성 이론을 고려한 유한요소 프로그램을 사용하였다.

파괴인성은 균열의 개시와 전파에 대한 재료 고유의 상수로서 파괴역학에서 가장 중요한 재료상수 중의 하나이다. 콘크리트의 모드 I 파괴인성 측정에 대하여 RILEM 기술 위원회 89-FMT는 2-파라메타 모델에 근거한 3점 휨 시험법을 제시하였다. 그러나 혼합모드에 대한 시험법은 아직까지 표준으로 제안된 방법이 없는 실정이며, 또한 RILEM에서 제안한 3점 휨 시험법은 실험법이 복잡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굵은골재의 최대치수가 각각 20mm, 40mm이고, 동일한 설계기준강도를 가지는 콘크리트로써 다양한 크기의 브라질리언 디스크를 제작하였다. 그리고 브라질리언 디스크의 모드 I 파괴인성을 RILEM 3점 휨 시험결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과, 굵은골재의 최대치수에 따른 브라질리언 디스크의 적정 크기(두께, 직경) 및 노치 길이 비를 제시하였다. 또한 모드 I 시험으로부터 결정된 치수의 브라질리언 디스크로 혼합모드 시험을 수행한 결과 디스크 시편은 혼합모드 파괴의 연구 및 시험에 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 모드 I 및 혼합모드 시험에서 브라질리언 디스크의 응력확대계수는 유한요소해석(FEA)으로 구하였으며 FEA의 결과를 검증하기 위하여 5개항 근사법(Five terms approximation)에 의한 결과와 비교하였다.
