New high strength bolts are required due to the development of the high strength steel, the ultra-thick steel plates, and the long-span bridge, though high strength bolts with tensile strength of 1,000 MPa are mainly used in construction site of every country. Consequently, in this study, we estimated the fatigue strength by performing fatigue test of slip-resistant splices with slip coefficients applying the newly developed F13T high strength bolts. The fatigue test satisfied the Category B requirements with the fatigue strength of slip-resistant splices. Also we analyzed the fatigue fracture characteristics of slip-resistant splices.

The behavior of fatigue crack growth of nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy that could be used in aircraft turbine disc is investigated at room temperature, and $650^{\circ}C$ considering real operating conditions. The direct current potential drop(DCPD) method was used to measure the crack length of material in real time according to ASTM E647. Tests were performed with various stress ratios (0.1 and 0.5). Experimental results show that stress ratio, and temperature all affect the behavior of fatigue crack growth. As the stress ratio and temperature increase, the fatigue crack growth rate of nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy also increases. Results were compared and reviewed with fatigue crack growth rates of other nickel-based superalloy materials (Inconel-100) that were studied in previous papers. Fractography analysis of the fractured specimens was performed using as SEM.

본 연구는 자동차 시뮬레이터에서 정속(60∼80km/h)으로 2시간 도안 주행하는 동안 운전자의 주관적 피로감과 운전수행도에 대한 평가를 통하여 산소농도(18％, 21％, 30％)의 변화에 따른 운전 피로감을 평가하였다. 분석 결과 산소농도의 변화에 따른 주관적 피로감은 모든 산소 농도에서 시간이 경과함에 따라 유의하게 증가하였는데 특히 저농도의 산소일 때가 다른 산소 조건들에 비해 높았고 고농도의 산소일 때 낮았다. 또한, 브레이크 반응 시간은 고농도의 산소일 때가 저농도의 산소에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였다. 이와 같이 산소 조건에 따른 운전 피로감의 현저한 차이를 볼 수 있었다.

집중도 변화와 정신피로는 정의 방향의 평가와 부의 방향의 평가가 있으며, 작업 수행시의 집중변화와 정신피로의 평가는 정의 방향보다 부의 방향으로의 평가가 용이하다. 따라서, 저자들은 먼저 피험자에게 부가할 정신작업부하로 난이도 조정이 용이한 연산작업을 사용하여 작업수행시 가장 높은 집중을 요구하는 하나의 난이도를 선정하고 피험자에게 반복 수행시키면서 생리량과 심리량을 동시에 측정하였다. 측정된 생리량은 뇌파, 심전도, 호흡, 맥파, 말초피부온이며 심리량은 저자들이 개발한 정신피로설문지를 사용하였다. 분석결과 작업수행시 심박변화율의 전력스펙트럼 MF/(LF+HF)비가 감소하였으며, 작업이 반복됨에 따라 집중이 저하되고 정신피로가 증가하였다. 특히, 뇌파의 beta파와 호흡간격이 집중도의 변화를 말초피부온이 정신피로를 잘 반영하였다.

해양플랜트 구조물은 대양에서 파력을 비롯한 바람 등과 같이 자연에 의해 발생하는 다양한 외력을 구조물 사용기간 동안 지속적으로 랜덤하게 받게 되므로 이로 인한 피로현상이 발생하게 된다. 특히 용접부로 이루어진 격점부는 복잡한 기하형상의 영향으로 피로에 대해 취약구조가 되므로 피로강도향상은 해양플랜트 구조의 안전성에 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 격점부에 대한 구조상세에 관련한 설계기준 및 평가방법을 조사하였으며, 고정식 Jacket 구조물을 대상으로 프레임요소를 사용하여 구조해석을 실시하여 공용하중에 대한 구조거동을 분석하였다. 또한 격점부의 강도평가방법 및 연결부 피로강도를 개선하기 위하여 프레임요소의 구조해석을 토대로 복잡한 기하형상을 가진 KT형 관이음부(Tubular Joints)에 대해 상세해석을 실시하였다.

In this paper, we present a effective method of gait rehabilitation training using critical point of median frequency in muscle fatigue analysis using EMG. To target the five healthy volunteers, EMG signal were measured in the quadriceps femoris muscle and the tibialis anterior muscle in order to determine muscle fatigue. We performed a test targeting three adult male for 30 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of 6km/h same. EMG signal analysis in frequency and median frequency is calculated to quantification of muscle fatigue, and calculated the critical point which is saturated by muscle fatigue during 30 minutes. We set saturated point the threshold which muscle can withstand. The results of this paper, we are able to quantify the threshold of the muscle.

In this study, direct tensile fatigue tests of the PS bar were performed in terms of diameter, minimum stress level, and maximum stress level. In the static test, the stress - strain curve and ultimate streng th of the PS bar were determined. Results of the fatigue test indicate that the diameter of the PS bar was not influenced by fatigue life. Minimum stress also had quite an influence on the fatigue of the PS bar. Thus, the fatigue characteristic equation was proposed in terms of stress range and minimum stress through statistical process. Strains on specimen that loaded direct tension were measured in the fatigue test, with the secant modulus of elasticity calculated from measured strains. The strain development consisted of three different stages, i.e., rapid increases during the initial fatigue life, uniform increases during the middle stage, and rapid increases until failure. The secant modulus of elasticity decreased during the fatigue life with increasing strain. However, stress level seemed to have no influence on the secant modulus of elasticity.

Recently, as the concrete structures are becoming bigger, higher, longer and more special, high strength concrete is demanded. But the fracture behavior of high strength concrete is shown more brittle than that of the normal strength concrete. Therefore, in order to improve the brittle fracture behavior and crack propagation resistance, ACI Committee363 has been recommend the use of fiber reinforced concrete which showed superior property against the crack propagation resistance. On the other hand, bridges, concrete pavements and railroads etc. have been exposed to the repetition loading at least several million times during the service life. Therefore, fatigue load is dominantly most of all, but it is very difficult to estimate the suitable fatigue strength calculated by fatigue load. In this research, in order to examine the fatigue behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced high strength concrete, the static and fatigue tests were carried out. And from these results, it was estimated the fatigue strength of hybrid fiber reinforced high strength concrete.

The purpose of this study is to find the relation between the detailed categories of the self-efficacy of workers in the field of railroad signaling and the detailed categories of their fatigue in the use of analysis of moment structure(AMOS) model. A self-administered questionnaire survey of workers in the field of railroad signaling had been conducted and a total of 341 copies were analyzed. This study had the assumption that their general self-efficacy and social self-efficacy would negatively influence their physical fatigue and mental fatigue. As a result, their general self-efficacy negatively influenced their physical fatigue and mental fatigue, whereas their social self-efficacy didn't influence their physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the fatigue of the study subjects by enhancing corporate support to increase their general self-efficacy.

Shot-peening effects on the fatigue behavior of bearing steel were investigated under the high cyclic loading. Hourglass shape specimens were made of bearing steel(JIS-SUJ2) for rotary bending fatigue tests. Two kinds of treatments were performed : a heat treatment and a shot-peened surface treatment after the heat treatment. The fracture surfaces of specimens were classified into two types of fracture mode : the surface fracture mode induced by a surface defect and the internal fracture mode induced by a nonmetallic inclusion. Inclusion depth and shape affected considerably the fatigue life. Shot-peening treatment improved much the fatigue life of the bearing steel under low and high levels of cyclic loads. Probabilistic-stress-life (P-S-N) curves were suggested for the reliable fatigue life estimation of the improved bearing steel.
