This study aims to determine the cause of structural defects occurring during aircraft operations and to verify the structural integrity of the improved features. The fracture plane was analyzed to verify the characteristics of the cracks and the fatigue failure leading to the final fracture was determined by the progress of the cracks by the repeated load. During aircraft operations, the comparative analysis of the load measurement data at the cracks with the aircraft design load determined that the measured load was not at the level of 30% of the design to be capable of being damaged. A gap analysis resulted in a significant stress of approximately 32 ksi at the crack site. Pre-Load testing also confirmed that the M.S. was reduced by more than 50% from +0.71 to +0.43, resulting in a sharp increase in aircraft load and the possibility of cracking when combined. Thus, structural reinforcement and the removal of the gap for aircraft cracking sites improved the defect. Based on the structural strength analysis of the improvement features, the bulkhead has a margin of about +0.88 and the fitting feature is about +0.48 versus allowable stress. In addition, the life analysis results revealed an improvement of approximately 84000 hours.

The objective of this research is to study effects of the residual stresses on the crack growth and the life of the structure, caused by cold working around the hole of the aircraft structure which will be jointed by rivets and bolts, etc. The compensated Morrow's equation, by experimental data from the materials AL7075-T6 and AL2024-T3, is suggested to calculate the values of the fatigue life prediction of the structure. Also, the compensated Forman's equation, by experimental data from a material AL7075-T6, is suggested to calculate the values of the crack growth prediction of the structure. It is founded that the calculated values from the suggested equations are almost close to the known values of the fatigue life prediction and the crack growth prediction. It is shown that this paper, associated with an initial research on the effects of residual stresses around hole, gives a direction to study the problem at the aircraft maintenance field.

Up to now, many crack repair techniques have been developed for inhibiting crack growth in structural components. However, the simplest way for inhibiting crack growth is to apply a indentation at the crack tip or at some distance ahead of the expected crack growth path so as to produce residual compressive stresses that can reduce the effective stresses around the crack tip. In spite of its importance to the aerospace industry, little attention has been devoted to evaluation of the indentation residual stress effect on the fatigue crack initiation life quantitatively. Therefore, in the present work, the magnitude and distribution of the indentation residual stresses were investigated in order to estimate the beneficial effect on fatigue crack initiation by using finite element method. Furthermore, to examine the validity of finite element analysis results, residual stress distribution in the indented specimen was measured by using X-ray diffraction technique, and fatigue crack behavior at fastener hole in aluminum alloy 7075-T6 before and after indentation processes was investigated.

주조품 설계 및 제조에 있어서 기존의 유동 및 응고 해석뿐 아니라 최근에는 응력 해석 기법의 적용이 대두 되고 있다. 특히 자동차 산업에 있어서 부품의 경량화는 필수 불가결한 선택이며, 이는 설계자 및 제조업체에 복잡하고 얇은 알루미늄, 마그네슘 주물품에 대하여, 치수적인 문제와 강성의 문제를 동시에 해결하도록 요구하고 있다. 또한 경제적인 관점에서 긴 금형 수명이 요구되나 열 및 기계적인 피로 균열인 'heat checking'은 이러한 금형 수명을 저하시키는 가장 흔한 요소이다. 이런 무제를 해결하기 위해 해석 기법을 이용하여 주조 설계 및 공정을 최적화 함으로써 변형의 최소화 및 금형 수명의 최대화를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 기법을 성공적으로 적용하기 위해서는 주조 공정 해석, 재료 시험, 제품 설계 및 공정 최적화 설계가 통합적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 고에서는 현재 최신 주조 해석 기법을 이용하여, 주조품 제조 공정에서 발생하는 응력과 관련된 문제들에 대한 수치해석 기법을 살펴보고, 이에 대한 리뷰를 제공하고자 한다.

기구나 구조물의 피로수명은 노치에서의 피로균열 방생수명에 의하여 지배되기때문에 노치로 인한 피로강도감소계수 $K_f$는 피로설계상 대단히 중요한 인자이다. 노치 선단(Notch root)에서의 피로균열발생명수 N$_c$를 기준으로하면 탄성응력집중계수 $K_t$가 10 정도까지 $K_f$와 $K_t$간에는 거의 직선적인 관계가 있음이 이다- 고에 의하여 명석해졌으나 이는 인장,압축의 축력이 작용하였을 때이며 따라서 기구나 구조부재는 축력외에도 굽힘 피로 하중이 작용하였을때도 많으므로 본 연구에서는 굽힘 피로 하중을 받았을때도 있다. -고의 결론이 적용되는지는 검시코져 본 연구를 실시하였다.

The effects of environment and microstructure on low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviors of CF8M stainless steels containing 11% of ferrites were investigated in a $310^{\circ}C$ deoxygenated water environment. The reduction of LCF life of CF8M in a $310^{\circ}C$ deoxygenated water was smaller than 316LN stainless steels. Based on the microstructure and fatigue surface analyses, it was confirmed that the hydrogen induced cracking contributed to the reduction in LCF life for CF8M as well as for 316LN. However, many secondary cracks were found on the boundaries of ferrite phases in CF8M, which effectively reduced the stress concentration at the crack tip. Because of the reduced stress concentration, the accelerated fatigue crack growth by hydrogen induced cracking was less significant, which resulted in the smaller environmental effects for CF8M than 316LN in a $310^{\circ}C$ deoxygenated water.

The estimation of the fatigue design life for large welded structures is usually performed using the liner cumulative damage method such as Palmgren-Miner rule or the equivalent damage method. When a fatigue crack is detected in a welded steel structure, the residual service life has to be estimated base on S-N curve method and liner elastic fracture mechanics. In this study, to examine the 3D fatigue crack behavior and estimate the fatigue life of out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joint, the fatigue tests were carried out on the model specimens. Investigations of three-dimensional fatigue crack propagation on gusset welded joint was used the finite element analysis of FEMAP with NX NASTRAN and FRANC3D. Fatigue crack growth analysis was carried out to demonstrate the effects of aspect ratio, initial crack length and stress ratio on out-of-plane gusset welded joints. In addition, the crack behaviors of fatigue tests were compared with those of the 3D crack propagation analysis in terms of changes in crack length and aspect ratio. From this analysis result, SIFs behaviors and crack propagation rate of gusset welded joint were shown to be similar fatigue test results and the fatigue life can also be predicted.
