High-grade gray cast iron (HCI350) was prepared by adding Cr, Mo and Cu to the gray cast iron (GC300). Their microstructure, mechanical properties and fatigue strength were studied. Cast iron was made from round bar and plate-type castings, and was cut and polished to measure the percentage of each microstructure. The size of flake graphite decreased due to additives, while the structure of high density pearlite increased in volume percentage improving the tensile strength and fatigue strength. Based on the fatigue life data obtained from the fatigue test results, the probability - stress - life (P-S-N) curve was calculated using the 2-parameter Weibull distribution to which the maximum likelihood method was applied. The P-S-N curve showed that the fatigue strength of HCI350 was significantly improved and the dispersion of life data was lower than that of GC300. However, the fatigue life according to fatigue stress alleviation increased further. Data for reliability life design was presented by quantitatively showing the allowable stress value for the required life cycle number using the calculated P-S-N curve.

자동차용 변속기의 설계에 있어서 적용 Engine의 출력 및 차량 성능에 부합하는 동력전달 요소의 전달 용량 및 내구 수명을 고려해야 한다. 특히 자동차가 고속 경량화됨에 따라 변속기의 설계에 있어서도 동력전달 요소들의 소형 고용량화가 요구되며 이를 위해서는 설계시 동력전달 요소들의 정확한 강도 및 피로수명 예측이 필수적이다. 본 보고서에서는 Gear의 굽힘응력 계산식에 대한 고찰 및 Gear의 피로시험을 통하여 Helical 치차의 Bending stress에 대한 피로수명 곡선의 시험식을 도출하였다.

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)

The web of a horizontally curved plate girder bridge is, in general, subject to not only longitudinal flexural in-plane stress but also out-of-plane bending stress. Therefore, the induced stresses in the fillet welded joints at the intersection of the web and flange plates in the curved plate girder bridge can be considerably high, and the welded joints of gusset plates connecting the main girder to the floor beams or sway bracings can be subject to much more severe situation than those in the ordinary straight plate girder bridge. In order to investigate the cause of fatigue crack occurred in a curved girder bridge that has been served in about 23 years, in this study, field load tests have been performed to obtain the stress characteristics at the welded joint under the real traffic flow. Using the test results, we have investigated the causes of the occurrence of various fatigue cracks and have estimated the fatigue lives for the cracks. In addition, the characteristics of structural behavior at welded joint of the curved girder bridge have been examined by comparing the FE analysis and the field test result.

수많은 판형부재로 구성된 대형 트러스교에서는 불량용접된 부재가 존재할 수 있으며, 이는 교량의 피로수명에 결정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이러한 교량에서 용접불량부를 조사하고 부재단면중 용접불량을 고려한 유효단면을 가정하여 피로수명을 예측하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 피로수명에 영향을 미치는 교통량을 분석하고 차량모델을 가정하여 유효등가응력을 산정하였으며 모형피로시험에서 구한 응력-반복횟수곡선을 이용하여 피로수명을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 분석기법은 불량용접부와 교통량이 강교량의 피로수명에 미치는 영향을 예측하는데 매우 유용함을 알 수 있다.

The fatigue life is estimated while determining the reliability of aircraft structures. In this study, the estimation of fatigue life was carried out on the basis of a cumulative damage theory; the working S-N curve and the equivalent stress on the engine support structure significantly affect the safety of the aircraft. The maximum stress observed was 1,080 MPa in the case of scissors link under crash load condition, and there was a 5% margin for the allowable stress corresponding to the temperature reduction factor. The maximum stress was 876 MPa, and the stress equation coefficient had a maximum value of 0.019 MPa/N in the case of scissors link under fatigue loads. In the results of the fatigue life analysis, the safety life in a fretting area of scissors link upper part was 416,667 flight hour, and other parts showed to infinite life. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the fatigue life requirement of aircraft engine support structure (scissors link, straight link) could be satisfied.

The fatigue characteristics of a material or a structure are generally derived from fatigue tests of standard specimens. However, test results of standard specimens are different from those of real structures or components. Therefore, to calculate more accurate fatigue life, the geometrical effect and surface condition must be considered by comparing test results of standard specimens with those of real structures or components. Thus the object of this paper is to evaluate the fatigue characteristics of a real waterwork pipe. Also, to evaluate fatigue characteristic based on life distribution, the statistical fatigue characteristics were analyzed by the normal distribution and related data of P-S-N curve.

In this study, a strain-controlled fatigue test of widely-used 316L stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties was conducted, in order to assess its fatigue life. Low cycle fatigue behaviors were analyzed at room temperature, as a function of the strain amplitude and strain ratio. The material was hardened during the initial few cycles, and then was softened during the long post period, until failure occurred. The fatigue life decreased with increasing strain amplitude. Masing behavior in the hysteresis loop was shown under the low strain amplitude, whereas the high strain amplitude caused non-Masing behavior and reduced the mean stress. Low cycle fatigue life prediction based on the cyclic plastic energy dissipation theory, considering Masing and non-Masing effects, showed a good correlation with the experimental results.

The reliable fatigue life for hybrid composite joint structures was estimated by a statistical method for evaluating fatigue life; the results of the fatigue test varied widely. Cyclic bending tests were performed on a cantilever beam with a hybrid composite joint, which was developed for the body of a low-floor bus. In order to estimate the fatigue life of the hybrid composite joint structure by comparing the data obtained during the fatigue tests, the most suitable probabilistic density function among the normal, lognormal, and Weibull distributions was selected. The probabilistic-stress-life (P-S-N) curves calculated by using the selected Weibull distribution was suggested for process of statistical fatigue life estimation and reliability design.
