The tripod shafts of constant-velocity joint are used in both the trains KTX and KTX-sanchon. It is an important component that connects the motor reduction unit and the axle reduction unit in a power bogie. The tripod shaft not only transmits drive and brake torque in the rotational direction, but also slides in the axial direction. If the drive system is loaded with an excessive torque, the fuse part of the shaft will be fractured firstly to protect the other important components. In this study, a rig was developed for conducting torsion tests on the tripod shaft, which is a type of mechanical fuse. The tripod shafts were subjected to torsional fracture test and torsional fatigue test on the rig. The weak zone of the tripod shaft was identified, and its fatigue life was predicted using finite element analysis (FEA). After analyzing the FEA results, design solutions were proposed to improve the strength and fatigue life of the tripod shaft. Furthermore, the deterioration trend and time for failure of the tripod shaft were verified using the hysteresis loops which had been changed with the advancement of the torsional fatigue test.

풍력 발전용 회전 날개는 대형화되면서 종래의 목재나 금속재료로는 구조적 강도, 강성 및 피로수명, 경제성 등을 만족하지 못하게 되었고, 이를 보완하기 위해 복합재료의 사용이 불가피하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내업체에서 생산하여 그 물성이 입증된 E-glass/Epoxy 복합재료를 사용하여 국내 기상조건에 적합한 풍력발전용 회전날개를 개발하였다. 그러나, 개발된 회전날개는 국내 기상조건에 적합하도록 설계된 것으로서 해외로 수출할 경우 국내보다 풍속이 큰 지역에서는 구조적 안정성 및 피로수명을 만족할 수 없게 된다. 즉, 개발된 회전날개의 외국시장 진출을 위해서는 국제규격에 따른 하중의 정의와 구조설계의 개선이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IEC 1400-1의 국제규격을 검토하여 이를 만족하도록 회전날개의 구조설계를 수행하였다. 그 결과 국제규격에 명시된 강도 및 피로수명을 만족하는 구조설계 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

PC의 발달로 기계설계 분야는 메인프레임을 사용하지 않아도 과거에 지루하고 시간이 많이 걸렸 던 "trial and error" 과정을 손쉽게 할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 기계설계에서는 많은 데이터를 그림 및 표에서 읽어야 하는 어려움이 이를 전산화함으로써 설계시간을 현격히 단축시킬 수 있었다. 본 글에서는 한 예로 피로강도설계를 하중이 걸린 축 설계에 응용하였다. 지면관계상 프로그램 전체를 소개하지 못하나 충분히 학부학생 수준이면 별 어려움 없이 프로그램을 작성할 수 있을 것이다. 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the change of full width half maximum(FWHM) and residual stress during fatigue process in S45C Steel, by X-ray diffraction. For S45C Steel, the relationship between the change in fatigue damage of the specimen and the FWHM, and residual stress of X-ray diffraction profiles during the fatigue processes has been investigated. The FWHM decreases in the early period of fatigue cycle. The change of FWHM is associated with cyclic work hardening. The change of the FWHM is not significant in $10{\sim}20%$ of ratio of fatigue life. The residual stress is changed with fatigue cycle increasing during the fatigue pro process.

Two stroke low speed diesel engines are mainly used for marine propulsion or power plant prime mover. These have many merits such as higher thermal efficiency, mobility and durability. However various annoying vibrations sometimes occur in ships or at the plant itself. Of these vibrations, torsional vibration is very important and it should be carefully investigated during the initial design stage for engine's safe operation. In this paper authors suggest a new estimation method of for shaft's can be calculated equivalently from accumulated fatigue cycles number due to torsional vibration. The 6S70MC-C($25,320ps{\times}91rpm$) engine for ship propulsion was selected as a case study, and the accumulated fatigue cycles numbers for shafting life time converted from the measured angular velocity and torsional vibration stress was calculated. This new method can be realized and confirmed in test model ship with two stroke low speed diesel engine.

Fatigue strength of the spot welded lap joint is considerably influenced by corrosive environments. Particularly, the chloride and the sulfide are most injurious to strength of the spot welded lap joint. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate its effect to corrosion fatigue strength for safe life design of spot welded structures. In order to evaluate their corrosion fatigue strength, corrosion fatigue tests on the spot welded lap joints of the uncoated and the coated high strength steel sheets were conducted in air and in 10% NaCl solution. Corrosion fatigue strength of the uncoated specimens were entirely lower than the coated one in NaCl solution, but those of the coated specimens in NaCl solution were lower than in air. And stress distribution in single spon welded lap joint subjected to tension-shear load was investigated by the finite element method. Using these results, we tried to evaluate corrosion fatgue strength of the various spot welded lap joints with maximum stress $\sigma_{max}$ at edge on loading side of the spot welded lap joint. We could find that corrosion fatigue strength could be quantitatively and systematically rearranged by $\sigma_{max}$.

Two types of very small multiplying gears and arrays have been developed for new dental hand-pieces, and the increased speed ratios, modules, number of teeth, gear diameters, and gear types were calculated based on the dynamics of the machinery. The contacting and bending strengths were evaluated for gear teeth with two design concepts using AGMA equations and finite element analyses, and the contacting stresses on teeth with and without DLC (diamond-like-carbon) coating layers were calculated. Fatigue and tension tests were performed to obtain an S-N curve, the Young's modulus, and the strength of the gear material, and these were utilized in the analyses. Slightly larger stresses were found for 2-axis-type gears than for other types of gears, and the S-N curves showed that a gear lifetime of 109 cycles was satisfied. The contacting stresses in gears coated with DLC were reduced by 30%. A new prototype model of a hand-piece with small gears was successfully fabricated and tested.

The drive shaft of passenger vehicle has an important role in transmitting the torque between the power train system and the wheels. Torsional fatigue failures occur generally in the connection parts of the spline edge of the drive shaft, when there is significant fatigue damage under repeated twisting loads. A heat treatment, an induction hardening process, has been adopted to increase the torsional strength as well as the fatigue life of the drive shaft. However, it is still unclear how the extension of the induction hardening process in a used material relates to its shear-strain fatigue life range. In this study, a shear-strain controlled torsional-fatigue test with a specially designed specimen was conducted by an electro-dynamic torsional fatigue test machine. A finite element analysis of the drive shaft was carried out using the results obtained by the fatigue experiment. The estimated fatigue life was verified through a twisting load test of the real drive shaft in a test rig.

Full-depth precast concrete deck bridge has shear pockets for shear connectors that give composite action with steel girder. Strength and shear stiffness of shear connection that is needed to design shear connectors in case that shear pockets are filled with nonshrink mortar are investigated. In case that simple span full-depth precast concrete deck bridge is designed by allowable stress design, distribution of shear connector is suggested and details of precast panel that is placed on the support are proposed. Appropriate distribution of shear connectors in strength design and fatigue design is investigated through parameter analyses using partial interaction theory. The effects of nonshrink mortar strength is studied using the results of experiments and analyses and adequate strength is proposed.

본 연구는 이전 연구에서 500KW급 중형 수평축 발전기를 설계하였던 경험을 토대로 750KW급 대형 수평축 풍력발전용 복합재 회전날개를 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 회전날개의 대형화에 따른 구조강도 확보 및 경량화 문제를 해결하기 위해 날개의 단면구조를 변경하였고, 주 하중을 받는 스파부분을 보강하였으며, 취급이 어렵고 가격이 비싼 노맥스 허니컴 대신에 폼을 사용한 샌드위치 구조를 적용하였다. 또한 경량화를 위해 금속재 플렌지형 허브부분 접합방식을 삽입볼트 접합방식으로 구조 설계를 변경하였다. 이러한 복합재 회전날개의 구조적 안정성을 확인하기 위해 상용 유한요소 해석 코드인 NISA II를 사용하였으며, 선형정적해석, 고유진동수해석, 국부 좌굴해석 등을 수행하여, 무게의 증가는 최대한 억제하면서 대형화에 따른 구조강도의 확보가 이루어졌음을 확인하였고, 피로수명해석을 통하여 20년 이상의 요구 수명을 만족함을 확인하였다.
