In order to analyze the elastic-plastic fracture behavior of a structure, the fracture resistance curve of the material should be known first. The standard CT specimen was used to obtain the fracture resistance curves of a piping system. However, it is known that the fracture resistance curve by the standard CT specimen is very conservative to evaluate the integrity of a structure. Also the fracture resistance curve is effected by the specimen geometry and the dimensions because of the constraint effect. The objective of this paper is to be certain the conservativeness of the fracture resistance curve by the standard CT specimen and to provide an additional safety margin. For these, the fracture tests using a real pipe specimen and the standard CT specimen test were performed. A 4-point bending jig was manufactured for the pipe test and the direct current potential drop method was used to measure the crack extension and the length for the pipe test. Also finite element analyses were performed with a CT specimen and a pipe in order to prove the additional safety margin. From the result of tests and analyses of the pipe and the standard CT specimen, it was observed that the fracture analysis with the standard CT specimen is conservative and the additional safety margin was proved.

In order to perform elastic-plastic fracture mechanical analyses, fracture resistance curves for concerned materials are required. 1T-CT specimen was used to obtain fracture resistance curves. But the fracture resistance curve by the 1T-CT specimen was very conservative to evaluate the integrity of the structure. And fracture resistance curve was affected by the specimen geometry and crack plane orientation. The objective of this paper is to be certain the conservativeness of the fracture resistance curve by the 1T-CT specimen and to provide the additional safety margin. For these, the fracture tests using the real pipe specimen and standard 1T-CT specimen test were performed. 4-point bending jig was manufactured for pipe test and direct current potential drop method was used to measure the crack extension and length for pipe test. From the pipe and the 1T-CT specimen test results, it was observed that the J-integral of the 1T-CT specimen test at the crack initiation point was very small compare to that of the pipe specimen test.

The estimation method of the fracture resistance curve for the pipe specimen was proposed using the load ratio method for the standard specimen. For this, the calculation method of the load - CMOD curve for the pipe specimen with the common format equation(CFE) was proposed by using data of the CT specimen. The proposed method agreed well with experimental data. The J-integral value and the crack extension were calculated from the estimated load - CMOD data. The fracture resistance curve was estimated from the calculated J-integral and the crack extension. From these results, it have been seen that the proposed method is reliable to estimate the J-R curve of the pipe specimen.

To obtain $A_2$ experimentally in the $J-A_2$ theory, deformation field on the lateral surface of a CT specimen was to be determined using Laser speckle method. The crack growth was measured using direct current potential drop method and most procedure of experimental and data reduction was performed according to ASTM Standard E1737-96. Laser speckle images during crack propagation were monitored by two CCD cameras to cancel the effect of rotation and translation of the specimen. An algorithm to pursue displacement of a point from each image was developed and successfully used to measure $A_2$ continuously as the crack tip was propagated. The effects of specimen thickness on J-R curve and $A_2$ were explored.

The LBB (Leak Before Break) concept is based on evaluating the fracture toughness. NUREG 1061, Vol.3 announced that the specimen for evaluating fracture resistance needs to have same thickness or thicker than pipe. Therefore, it is difficult to collect specimen from pipe which has same thickness as a pipe. So, ASTM standard suggested the use of standard specimen with 1 inch thickness. However, it has been known that an application of LBB by test results of standard specimen is conservative compare with that by real pipe. In this study, to supplement such conservatism, the evaluation of fracture resistance characteristics was performed with curved CT specimen, which has same thickness and curvature as a pipe. In addition, fracture resistance characteristics of curved CT specimen were compared with those of CT specimen. For this, shape factor F, hpl and g were obtained from FEM analysis using the limit load method.

Fatigue crack growth caused by surface defects is one of the most important subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety in pressure vessels, piping systems, LPG/LNG fuel tank and other various structures. So, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between the surface roughness of fracture CT specimens and the moments on the specimen when doing fatigue test for the evaluation and the assurance of safety of structures from fatigue crack deconstruction. In this experiment, the CT specimens were loaded by a fatigue testing machine with changing loads until they are broken. The surface roughness of the fracture CT specimens was measured using 3D precise shape measuring equipment and digital holography. As a result of this study, It was identified that the average roughnesses are similar at the positions that has a same moments by comparing the results with the moments on the specimen according to the position.

현대 사회에서 의식주 중에서 구조물이나 운송수단은 중요한 역할을 가진다. 만약 구조물이나 운송수단에 작은 크랙이라도 생기고 크랙이 진전되면 그 부품들이 파괴되어 큰 사고를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 상황을 방지하기 위한 본 연구에서는 크랙의 진전에 따른 파손 경향을 조사하기 위하여 시험편을 이용하였다. CT 시험편의 재질로는 요즘 각광받는 복합재료인 단방향 탄소섬유 강화플라스틱을 사용하였다. 시험편 모델은 단방향성 섬유로서 적층각도를 주었고 적층각도는 [60/-60/60/-60]순으로 지정하였다. 해석 조건으로는 하단부의 홀을 고정시킨후 상단부 홀을 15mm의 강제 변위를 가하였다. 본 연구 결과로는 구조용 강, 구리, 티타늄, 알루미늄 순으로 등가응력과 전단응력이 높게 나왔다. 이러한 결과는 이종재료로 만들어진 CT 시험편의 파손을 검증하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Methodology based on the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics has been widely accepted in predicting the critical crack length(CCL) of pressure tubes of CANDU nuclear plants. A conservative estimate of CCL is obtained by employing the J-resistance curves measured with the specimens satisfying plane strain condition as suggested in the ASTM standard. Due to limited thickness of the pressure tubes the curved compact tension(CT) specimens taken out from tile pressure tube have been used in obtaining J-resistance curves. The curved CT specimen inevitably introduce slant fatigue crack during precracking. Hence, effect of specimen geometry and slant crack on J-resistance curve should be explored. In this study, the difference of J integral values between the standard CT specimens satisfying plane strain condition and the nonstandard curved CT with limited thickness (4.2mm) is estimated using finite element analysis. The fracture resistance curves of Zr-2.5Nb obtained previously by other authors are critically discussed. Various finite element analysis were conducted such as 2D analysis under plane stress and plane strain conditions and 3D analysis for flat CT, curved CT with straight crack and curved CT with slant crack front. J-integral values were determined by local contour integration near the crack tip, which was considered as accurate J-values. J value was also determined from the load versus load line displacement curve and the J estimation equation in the ASTM standard. Discrepancies between the two values were shown and suggestion was made for obtaining accurate J values from the load line displacement curves obtained by the curved CT specimens.

용접강구조물에서는 용접비드와 같은 응력집중부가 많이 존재한다. 또한 용접부에서는 용접결함이 발생할 가능성이 많다. 반복적인 피로하중이 응력집중부에 작용하면 응력집중부에서 피로균열이 발생하고, 발생된 균열의 전파에 의해 피로파괴사고를 일으킨다. 따라서 피로파괴사고를 미연에 방지하기 위하여 균열발생수명과 균열전파수명과 같은 피로수명의 파악이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 피로균열전파특성 연구에 사용되는 컴플라이언스를 도출하였다. 이 컴플라이언스는 피로균열의 자동화 측정에 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CT시험편에 대하여 in-house FEM program을 사용하여 컴플라이언스를 계산하였다. 이 계산결과는 저자의 앞선 연구에서 본 프로그램을 사용하여 계산한 J integral의 계산결과와 대비하여 a/W와의 관계를 제시하였다. 그리고 또한 CT시험편 Back Face의 중앙부로부터 위아래 방향의 스트레인 분포에 계산을 실시하였다. 이 분포에서는 중심으로부터 위아래로 갈수록 스트레인이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 계산과정으로부터 균열진전시험의 자동수행을 위한 컴플라이언스를 얻을 수 있었다. 이것으로부터 CT 시험편의 피로균열진전시험의 자동화에 활용이 가능하게 되었다.

본 연구에서는 한계하중법을 이용하여 Curved CT 시험편의 J-적분에 미치는 형상변수 영향을 평가하였다. 주요 형상변수인 시험편의 길이와 폭의 비(L/W), 평균곡률반경과 두께의 비($R_m/t$)에 대한 파괴인성시험 후, ASTM 시험법에서 제시한 표준시험편의 J-적분과 한계하중법으로 구한 J-적분을 각각 적용하여 구한 파괴저항곡선을 평가하였다. 또한 배관의 파괴저항곡선을 잘 모사한다고 알려진 휨 광폭평판(CWP) 및 표준시험편의 파괴저항곡선과 비교 고찰하여 최종적으로 Curved CT 시험편의 파괴저항곡선에 대한 유효성을 평가하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후 실배관의 정확한 파괴인성을 평가하는 데 있어 Curved CT 시험편의 적용가능성을 평가하는 데에 활용할 수 있다.
