본 논문에서는 충격이나 폭발하중에 의해 발생되는 응력파와 균열의 상호작용을 수치적으로 계산하였다. 수치해법으로는 응력파의 물리적 특징을 잘 재현시켜주는 Bicharacteristic Method가 사용되었다. 충격하중에 대한 동적응력확대계수 KI(t)가 수치해석적으로 시뮬레이션된 코오스틱곡선에 의해 계산되었으며, Kalthoff의 실험에 의해 얻어진 결과와 잘 일치함을 보여주었다. 또한 균열 주변에 구멍이 존재하는 경우에 응력파가 구멍의 효과에 의해 균열의 응력확대계수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 실험과 비교하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻었다.
The interaction between cracks and stress wave due to impact and explosive loads is numerically calculated in the study. The interaction and the effects of stress wave are numerically examined with the application of Bicharacteristic Method. This method has been used with confidence for its reliability in reproducing the realistic and physical wave pattern in the complete solution domain. The dynamic stress intensity factor, KI(t) for cracks under impact loads are numerically simulated and its results are compared favorably with Kalthoff's experimental output. Also the influence of stress wave to the dynamic stress intensity factor for the case of two symmetric holes around cracks are investigated. The results of study are also compared favorably with the experiment and proven to be applied to the structures exposed to impact and explosive loads.
