A study has been made to investigate the effects of hot isostatic pressing(HIPing) on the microstructure and high temperature fatigue lives of the IN738LC, Ni-base superalloy used in turbine blades, with emphasis on the elimination of casting microporosity and fatigue damage through HIP treatments. Microstructure was observed using OM, SEM and the fatigue life was investigated with rotate bending fatigue tester. The results show that the fatigue lives of properly HIP-processed specimens could be extended be extended by a factor of about sixty. In contrast, no comparable life improvement was achieved with heat treatment only. The repetitive HIP treatment was shown to be very effective as a means of rejuvenating the fatigue life of intentionally fatigue-damaged IN738LC by restoration of the initial alloy microstructure and additional removal of fine casting defects which remained in the HIP-processed material.

In a material, micro-cracks can be progressively occurred, propagated and finally lead to failure when it is subjected to cyclic or periodic loading less than its ultimate strength. This phenomenon, fatigue, is usually considered in a metal, alloy and structures under repeated loading conditions. In underground structures, a static creep behavior rather than a dynamic fatigue behavior is mostly considered. However, when compressed air is stored in a rock cavern, an inner pressure is periodically changed due to repeated in- and-out process of compressed air. Therefore mechanical properties of surrounding rock mass and an inner lining system under cyclic loading/unloading conditions should be investigated. In this study, considering an underground lined rock cavern for compressed air energy storage (CAES), the mechanical properties of a lining system, that is, concrete lining and plug under periodic loading/unloading conditions were characterized through cyclic bending tests and shear tests. From these tests, the stability of the plug was evaluated and the S-N line of the concrete lining was obtained.

The object of this study considers corrosion fatigue improvement of 7075-T6 aluminum by using shot peening treatment on 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature. Aluminum alloy is generally used in aerospace structural components because of the light weight and high strength characteristics. Many studies have shown that an aluminum alloy can be approximately 50% lighter than other materials. Mostly, corrosion leads to earlier fatigue crack propagation under tensile conditions and severely reduces the life of structures. Therefore, the technique to improve material resistance to corrosion fatigue is required. Shot peening technology is widely used to improve fatigue life and other mechanical properties by induced compressive residual stress. Even the roughness of treated surface causes pitting corrosion, the compressive residual stress, which is induced under the surface layer of material by shot peening, suppresses the corrosion and increases the corrosion resistance. The experimental results for shot peened specimens were compared with previous work for non treated aluminum alloy. The results show that the shot peening treatment affects the corrosion fatigue improvement of aluminum alloys and the induced compressive residual stress by shot peening treatment improves the resistance to corrosion fatigue.

The purposes of this study is to verify the fracture characteristic of steel which is manufactured in Korea, subjected to cyclic loading. This investigation deals with the low cycle fatigue behavior of longitudinal reinforcement in reinforced concrete bridge substructure (piles and columns of piers). Eighty-one specimens of longitudinal reinforcement were tested under axial strain controlled reversed cyclic tests with strain amplitudes. The selected test variables are ratio of tension strain to compression strain, yield stress of longitudinal reinforcement, ratio of diameter of longitudinal steel to clear length of longitudinal steel, size of longitudinal steel and strain amplitudes. Low cycle fatigue behavior and low-cycle fatigue life are investigated and discussed in this paper.

기계 및 구조물의 설계시에는 허용응력 이하의 설계 조건으로 설계하지만 반복 작동을 하게 되는 기계 시스템의 경우에는 피로에 의한 파괴 현상이 나타나게 된다. 대부분의 기계 및 구조물은 사용시 변동 하중 상태에 놓이는 경우가 많게 되고 이로 인해 변동 응력이 작용되며 그 재료의 정적 강도보다 상당히 작은 간이라도 반복횟수가 증가함으로써 금속재료의 강도가 저하되어 결국 피로 파괴가 발생한다. 자동차, 항공기, 압축기, 펌프, 터빈 등과 같이 반복 작동을 하게 되는 기계 시스템에서 일어나는 파괴 현상 중에서 피로 파괴가 차지하는 비율이 점차 늘어나고 있다.(중략)

15Cr-5Ni 석출강화 스테인리스강 3종류의 피로균열 발생과 성장 특성 및 파괴인성에 대하여 노치함수로서 연구하였다. 3종류강의 열처리 조건은 $482\;^{\circ}C,\;579\;^{\circ}C$ 및 $621\;^{\circ}C$이다. $621\;^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 열처리한 시험편 C는 약 $280\;MPa\;\sqrt{m}$의 가장 높은 파괴인성을 보였으며, 3종류에서 피로균열 성장이 가장 늦었다. $482\;^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 시험편 A에서, 피로균열발생한계, ${\Delta}k{\rho}$, 는 노치반경0.3 mm에서 약 $280\;MPa\;\sqrt{m}$의 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 시험편 A는 시험편 B와 C보다 피로균열 성장이 빨랐지만, 피로균열 발생이 늦었다. 예 하중에 의한 노치선단의 압축잔류응력은 노치 시험편의 피로강도 향상에 유용한 방법이었다.

축류 압축기 블레이드(blade)와 베인(vane)이 정하중(static load)에서 충분한 강도를 지니고 있더라도 반복하중이나 교번하중을 받게되면, 그 하중이 작더라도 파괴가 일어날 수 있다. 축류 압축기 블레이드와 베인의 피로파괴(fatigue failure) 현상은 개발 중인 가스터빈엔진 뿐만 아니라 현재 운용중인 엔진에서도 발생할 수 있는 엔진손상의 주요 원인이다. 블레이드나 베인의 동적 안정성 평가는 에어포일(airfoil)의 피로특성과 엔진운용조건에 따라서 발생하는 복잡한 공력가진과의 연관성을 고려하여 수행되어야 하기 때문에, 해석과 구성품 시험을 통하여 우선적으로 강도 평가를 실시하여야 한다.(중략)

In this study, a series of fatigue tests are performed in order to estimate quantitatively the characteristics of fatigue crack growth rate according to the base metal, heat affected zone(HAZ) and weld metal, and the welding method and grade of strength of object steels, and the influence on fatigue crack growth rate according to the direction of welded line for high strength steels of SM570, POSTEN60, and POSTEN80 steels. From the fatigue test results, the retardations of fatigue crack growth rate are remarkable in case that the direction of notch is parallel to welded line than in case that the direction of notch is perpendicular to welded line because of compresive residual stress in weld metal & HAZ. And the characteristics of fatigue crack growth rate according to welding method are that the dispersion of fatigue crack growth rate in case of FCAW method is smaller than that of SAW method. Also, it knows that the fatigue crack growth rate converges in high stress intensity factor range. Meanwhile, fatigue safety is guaranteed sufficiently in the object steels because the fatigue crack growth rate in the range of fatigue crack propagation has a similar tendency to the test results & existing results.

Bending fatigue characteristics of Cu films and $8{\mu}m$ width Cu interconnects on flexible substrates were investigated, and fatigue reliability improvement was achieved through Mo-Ti alloy adhesion layer. Tensile bending fatigue reliability of Cu interconnects is 3 times lower than that of Cu films, and even compressive bending fatigue reliability of Cu interconnects is 6 times lower than that of Cu films. From these results, mechanical crack formation could be fatal in Cu interconnects. With Mo-Ti adhesion layer, fatigue reliability of Cu films and interconnects were enhanced due to the increase of adhesion strength and the suppression of slip induced crack initiation.

일반적으로 기계구조물에서는 비교적 응력확대계수 K의 해석이 용이한 판 두께를 관통하는 관통크랙보다는 표면에 존재하는 결함에서 발생, 전파하는 표면 크랙이 대부분이다. 표면은 내부보다 소성변형에 대한 저항이 작고, 대기에 직접 접해 있으며, 평활재에 있어서의 인장, 압축이외의 응력은 일반적으로 표면에서 최대가 되는 등의 이유로 내부보다 쉽게 피로재해를 받는다. 침탄질화 열처리를 하는 중요한 목적이 재료 표면에 있어서 경화능과 피로강도의 향상이므로 침탄질화 처리재의 표면 크랙에 관한 연구가 절실히 요구됨은 당연하다.
