In this paper, the fatigue safety in the suspension bridge is investigated by using nominal and variable stress, respectively. The technique on structural modeling and the fatigue evaluation using nominal stress are mainly dealt with in this paper. To make the finite element analysis model reflecting the actual structural behavior of the suspension bridge with cross frame, the parametric study is carried out. In this study, the influence of supporting condition. the difference of the results of 2- and 3-D analysis and the number of cross frames modelled in are considered. The nominal stress under the real traffic flow of the bridge is calculated by the combination of the stresses due to the unit DB-24 loading. The nominal stresses for details under consideration are compared with allowable stress ranges specified in the codes and the results are discussed.

현재 구조물의 피로설계에는 주로 공칭응력(Nominal Stress) 및 핫스팟 응력(Hot Spot Stress, HSS)이 사용되고 있다. 공칭응력을 바탕으로 구조물에 대한 피로설계를 할 경우에는 각 부재에 사용되는 각각의 용접부 형상에 대한 피로시험을 따로 수행하여 피로수명 곡선을 구해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. (중략)

To evaluate the fatigue lives of welded joints taking into residual stress relaxation, two approaches are applied. One is based on the conventional local strain analyses. The other is based on a model developed by the authors. In the first approach, the Ramberg-Osgood relation, Lawrence model and S.W.T. parameter are used. In the second approach, The S-N curve for a welded joint is deduced from that of the parent material. Residual stress relaxation obtained by finite element analysis is considered. Finally, we evaluate the fatigue lives for four weld details using the two approaches.

Fatigue tests were carried out for butt welded joints with SM520-TMC steel plate with thickness between 20mm and 80mm. The test results were analysed statistically and the effect of plate thickness on the fatigue strength investigated. The fatigue strengths based on nominal stress range satisfy the requirement of the standards. Due to misalignment of the specimens, the measured stresses are higher than the nominal stresses especially for 20mm thick plates. If fatigue strengths are evaluated based on the measured stresses, then the fatigue strengths are greater than those based on nominal stresses. The results show that the thickness effect is similar to the formula proposed by Gurney.

The modified compression field theory is already applied in shear problem at some code(AASHTO-1998) partly. Nominal shear strength of concrete beam is sum of the concrete shcar strength and the steel shear strength in the current design code. But Torsional moment strength of concrete is neglected in the calculation of the nominal torsional moment strength of concrete beam In the current revised code. Tensile stress of concrete strut between cracks is still in effect due to tension stiffening effect. But The tensile stresses of concrete after cracking are neglected in bending and torsion In design. The torsional behavior is similar to the shear behavior in mechanics. Therefore the torsional moment strength of concrete should be concluded in the nominal torsional moment strength of reinforced concrete beam. This paper shows that the torsional moment strength of concrete is caused by the average principal tensile stress of concrete. To verify the validity of the proposed model, the nominal torsional moment strengths according to two ACI codes (89, 99) and proposed model are compared to experimental torsional moment strengths of 55 test specimens found in literature. The nominal torsional moment strengths by the proposed model show the best results.

In order to develop stretchable substrates for wearable packaging applications, the variation behavior of elastic modulus was evaluated for transparent PDMS Sylgard 184 and black PDMS Sylgard 170 as a function of the base/curing agent mixing ratio. Both for Sylgard 184 and Sylgard 170, the true elastic modulus evaluated on a true stress-true strain curve was higher more than two times compared to the engineering elastic modulus obtained from an engineering stres-sengineering strain curve, and their difference became larger with increasing the stiffness of the PDMS. Sylgard 184 exhibited a maximum engineering elastic modulus of 1.74 MPa and a maximum true elastic modulus of 3.57 MPa at the base/curing agent mixing ratio of 10. A maximum engineering elastic modulus of 1.51 MPa and a maximum true elastic modulus of 3.64 MPa were obtained for Sylgard 170 at the base/curing agent mixing ratio of 2.

In this study, we enhance the numerical approach of Lee et al.$^{(1)}$ to spherical indentation technique for property evaluation of hyper-elastic rubber. We first determine the friction coefficient between rubber and indenter in a practical viewpoint. We perform finite element numerical simulations for deeper indentation depth. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features sufficiently large strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then improve two normalized functions mapping an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, the latter of which in turn gives the Yeoh-model constants. The enhanced spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties with an average error of less than 3%.

Most of mechanical structures are combined of substructures such as beams and/or plates. There are few systems with unibody structures but are many systems with united body structures. Generally the dynamic a nalysis of whole structures is performed under alternation load. In the structure design, the analysis of each bolted joint is more important than others for zero severity. This paper presents the analysis method of contact stress distribution factor in the bolted joint with variable fastening torque on joints in the structure. At first, a static vibration test was performed to find out a nominal stress of bolt jointed plates from the relationship between natural frequency and nominal stress. Then a contact stress was computed at contact point between bolt and plate in the structure. It is believed that the proposed method has promisiong implications for safer design with index of contact stress distribution factor and has merits for cost-down and saving time at the beginning of vehicle development.

In this study, the stress concentration phenomenon for the dissimilar joints(ceramic-metal) bonded by thermal treating using a soft-insert metal(copper) was investigated with the aid of FEM(finite element method) under the load condition of uniform tension. The analysis was carried out by the supposing that stress states are plane stress or plane strain and elastic or elastic-plastic. And the Von Mises yield criterion and the incremental theory as plastic flow were adopted in this analysis. As the summarized results obtained, the stress concentration phenomenon was severer as the soft insert metal was thicker, in plane strain than in plane stress and in elastic-plastic state than in elastic state. Furthermore, the inducing mechanism of stress concentration was well expressed by the constraint forces(Fc) generated between the soft and the hard material.

According to our fatigue tests carried out at 20 Hz, R=0.1 on transversely butt-welded joints, fatigue strengths of as-welded specimens, that is, specimens having residual stress are higher than those of annealed specimens in short life range, but vice verse in long life range. This behavior seems to be concerned mainly with residual stress relaxation by applied loading. After analyzing the welding process, we conducted finite element analysis to quantify the degree of residual stress relaxation. By taking into account residual stress relaxation, modified Goodman diagram, and nominal stress, we evaluated the fatigue life of the welded joint from the S-N curve for the parent material. The estimated results are in a good agreement with the experimental results.
