The equipment or with a constant torque and a variable stress due to axial vibration such as the turbine-generator system in nuclear power plant show the fatigue fracture behavior. Thus this study whoul aim to measure the torsional stress and analyze the fatigue fracture behavior. To achieve this, we manufactured the equipment similar with turbine-generator system and applied various torsional vibration stress due to external load. In particular, the evaluation was conducted with the existing evaluation methods of the fatigue behavior of known stress-life, strain-life, crack growth assessment methods. With increasing the external load and independent methods tends to decrease the fatigue life was confirmed up to 10 times in 5 kV external load compared to without external load.

For the life evaluating of notched members, it is the best way that performing the real fatigue test of structure containing notch. But this method required generally much times and costs to evaluate fatigue life. So, generally we use the modified S-N curve or several methods to predict fatigue life. In this study, crack initiation life was evaluated by fatigue testing the SAE keyhole specimen and smooth specimen made of Al 7075-T6 alloys using the constant load then obtained S-N curve of smooth specimen and P-N curve of SAE keyhole specimen. And, fatigue lives of keyhole specimen are predicted using some life prediction methods (Nominal range I method, Nominal range II method, FEM analysis) for investigating experimented results, and that were compared with experimental data. Predicted fatigue lives by FEM analysis were corresponded with experimental data between 1/3times and 3times on the whole, and predicted fatigue lives using modified S-N curve (Nominal range I method, Nominal range II method) were nonconservative compared with that of FEM analysis.

High temperature and stress are encounted in power plants and vehicle engines. Therefore, determination of the creep-fatigue life of a material is necessary prior to fabricating equipments. In this study, life design was determined on the basis of the lethargy coefficient for different temperatures, stress and rupture times. SP-Creep test data was compared with computed data. The SP-Creep test was performed to obtain the rupture time for X20CrMoV121 steel. The integration life equation was considered for three cases with various load, temperature and load-temperature. First, the lethargy coefficient was calculated by using the obtained rupture stress and the rupture time that were determined by carrying out the SP-Creep test. Next, life was predicted on the basis of the temperature condition. Finally, it was observed that life decreases considerably due to the coupling effect that results when fatigue and creep occur simultaneously.

Prediction of composite fatigue life is not a straightforward matter, depending on various failure modes and their interactions. In this paper, a methodology is presented to predict fatigue life and residual strength of composite materials based on Phenomenological Model(non-linear fatigue damage model). It is assumed that the residual strength is a monotonically decreasing function of the number of loading cycles and applied fatigue stress ratio and the model parameters(strength degradation parameter and fatigue shape parameter) are assumed as function of fatigue life. Then S-N curve is used to extract model parameters that are required to characterize the stress levels comprising a randomly-ordered load spectrum. Different stress ratios (${\sigma}_{min}/{\;}{\sigma}_{max}$) are handled with Goodman correction approach(fatigue envelope) and the residual strength after an arbitrary load cycles is represented by two parameter weibull functions.

해양구조물의 피로파괴 형태는 매우 다양하며 설계단계에서 구조요소의 피로수명 예측은 중요하다. 각가지 피로해석 방법에 대해서 연구가 활발히 진행되었으며 접근방법에 대한 논의도 활발한 연구와 함께 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 피로해석 방법중 스펙트랄 방법과 그 구성요소에 대해서 연구되었으며 간략화된 피로해석 방법이 제시되었고 그 특성이 비교 검토되었다. 두가지 피로해석 방법의 장단점이 조사되었고 관련된 인자인 응력집중계수, 응력폭-수명 관계 곡선 또한 연구되었다. 전형적인 반 잠수식시추선의 브레이싱 부재의 피로수명 예측을 위하여 간략화된 피로해석 방법과 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 작용되었으며 이를 통하여 두 방법의 유용성이 확인되었다. 또한 간략화된 피로해석 방법을 이용한 민감도 해석이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서 수행된 피로해석 결과는 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 보다 현실적인 피로수명 예측을 할 수 있는 방법이라는 사실을 보여주었다.

In this paper, the fatigue life of a laser peened structure was predicted. In order to calculate residual stress induced by laser peening finite element simulation was carried out. Modified Goodman equation was used to consider the effect of compressive residual stress induced by laser peening in fatigue analysis. In addition, additive adjustment factor approach was applied to consider S-N curve model uncertainty. Consequently, the reliable bounds of the predicted fatigue life of the laser peened structure was determined.

본 연구는 무근 폴리에스터 폴리머 콘크리트보의 휨피로 거동을 구명키 위한 것으로서 초기균열깊이와 높이의 비 (a/h)를 0, 0.2, 0.4로 하고 응력수준을 45%, 55%, 65%로 하여 피로 시험을 실시한 것이다. 그 결과 초기균열깊이가 커질수록 피로수명이 짧아졌으며, 피로수명비에 따른 휨인장변형도는 균열깊이가 클수록 작아졌다. 또한 휨탄성계수는 피로수명비 0.2에서 0.6정도까지는 선형적인 변화를 보였으나, 초기와 말기에는 비선형적인 변화를 보여주었다. 그리고 응력수준과 균열깊이가 커질수록 취성적인 성질이 더 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

반잠수식 시추선의 설계에 있어서 구조의 피로수명을 정확하게 추정하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 또한 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 이미 실용화된 Aker H-3모델에 대하여 Palmgren-Miner 가정에 의하여 시추선의 hot-point인 수평 및 수직 K-brace 멤버에 대하여 피로수명을 로이드 선급의 커브에 따라 계산한 결과 북해의 해성환경 조건에서는 16년 동안 계속 작업을 할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었으나 응력 집중계수 (SCF)를 선정하는데 불확실성으로 인하여 사용하는데 주위를 요한다.

To estimate the fatigue life of flange-shaft assembly, fatigue test for flange material and bending fatigue test for flange-shaft assembly were conducted. Also, finite element analysis for flange-shaft assembly was conducted. Then, we have changed the obtained P-N curve to S-N curve using the finite element analysis results which were stress values at the location of fracture. The S-N curve of flange material itself was almost consistent with that of flange-shaft assembly, so it seems that the fatigue life of flange-shaft assembly could be estimated by using S-N curve for flange material and the stress at the location of fracture calculated by finite element methods.
