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.

용접부에는 많은 취약조건들이 존재하며 파괴의 주 원인이 되고 있어 이들에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 현재 용접재료, 용접 조건 및 용접방법 등 을 개선함으로써 여러 방면에서 좋은 결과를 얻고 있다. 그러나 아직도 용접시의 열소 성변형과 구속조건에 따라 분포하는 잔류응력에 의한 피로균열거동에 대한 연구는 정확한 잔류응력 측정의 어려움으로 미흡한 상태이다. 특히 잔류응력의 측정기술과 반복하중에 의한 피로균열 진전시 잔류응력의 이완 등은 이들을 해석하는데 많은 어 려움을 주고 있다. 용접시 높은 열에 의한 재료의 팽창과 냉각시의 수축변형은 용접 부재에 인장 및 압축 잔류응력을 유발시키고, 인장잔류응력은 균열 진전될 때 잔류 응력은 오히려 균열을 지연시키기도 한다. 또한 잔류응력장에서 피로 균열이 진전될 때 잔류응력은 일반적으로 작용하중의 크기와 반복 수 그리고 균열 진전 등으로 인하 여 이완되고 재분포된다. 본 해설에서는 용접재의 피로거동중에 발생하는 잔류응력의 재분포 현상을 하중의 범위, 하중 반복수, 균열 진전의 영향으로 구분하여 각각의 영향에 대해서 기술하고자 한다.

Rolling contact fatigue tests were performed for two types silicon nitrides using disk- type specimens. Materials showed a fatigue behaviour similar to that typically found in metallic materials From the fractographic and metallographic observations, it has been found that the crack initation in the silicon nitrides subjected to rolling contact fatigue is to be induced by cyclic subsurface shear stress, as is known in steel bearing. On the mid-sections of the specimens, many subsurface cracks which lay parallel to the contact surface can be found at a depth where fluctuation of the Herzian shear stress was the maximum.

현재 사용하고 있는 액화천연가스 기화기는 관내부로 -162$^{\circ}C$의 액화가스가 흐르고, 관외부로 발전소 증기응축기 출구에서 배출된 20~3$0^{\circ}C$의 해수를 흐르도록 하여, 두 유체사이의 온도차로 기화시키는 간접접촉방식 열교환기가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 간접접촉방식 열교환기는 두 유체사이의 큰 온도차로 인한 금속재료의 피로현상과 해수의 염분에 의한 재질의 부식 및 미생물 부착 등의 원인으로 열전달효율이 저하되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 관을 중간매체로 하는 간접접촉식 열교환기대신 액화천연가스와 기화용수인 물을 직접접촉시키는 방법으로 이용하여, 위와 같은 문제점들을 근본적으로 해결하려 한다. 본 실험에서는 기화기내의 수위 500 mm와 물의 유량 10 l/min을 일정하게 고정시키고, 액화천연가스의 유량 0.12 ㅣ/min, 0.36 l/min, 0.6 l/min, 기화기내의 압력을 100 kPa, 300 kPa, 500kPa로 변화시키면서 기화기내의 기포, 온도분포, 급팽창현상, 동결현상 및 기화후 수분함유량등의 비등특성을 규명하였다. 실험결과 기화기내의 압력이 증가할수록 기포는 작고 균일한 분포를 이루고, 폭발적인 급팽창현상은 일어나지 않았다. 또한 동결현상은 액화천연가스의 기화를 방지하지 못하였으며, 기화된 천연가스내의 수분함유량 몰%는 압력과 유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있다.

The degree of the indentation damage and strength degradation for 3Y-TZP ceramics and (Y,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ dental implant composites was investigated under the Hertzian cyclic fatigue. Fatigue tests were conducted at contact loads of 500 to 3000 N and up to $10^6$ cycles in exact in vitro environments. At 500 N, no strength degradation and crack generation was observed up to $5{\times}10^5$ contact cycles. Fatigue properties of 3Y-TZP ceramics was superior to (Y,Nb)-TZP/ㅍ composites due to stress relief caused by the phase transformation from tettagonal to monoclinic phase. As contact load increased, the drastic reduction in strength was found when the damage transition from ring to radial crack occurred. The extent of strength degradation was more pronounced in vitro environments probably due to chemical corrosion of artificial saliva through cracks introduced during large numbers of contacts.

Fatigue is a significant problem in health care. The relationship between chronic fatigue and psychiatric disorders has generated significant interest in recent years. Increased rates of psychiatric disorder among individuals with chronic fatigue have been reported. Fatigue may be defined as physical and/or mental weariness resulting from exertion. The cause of fatigue is complex, influenced by events occurring in both the periphery and the central nervous system. Because fatigue may result from a number of causes, it should be treated comprehensively. The treatment is largely symptomatic and rehabilitative.

A fatigue analysis procedure for prestressed concrete composite girder bridges is established, which includes the time-dependent effects of component materials. The procedure can take into account the movement of neutral axis depth as crack develops and give quite good agreement with experimental results available. It is also assured that Korean Standard prestressed concrete composite girder has enough fatigue resistance. The procedure in this paper gives a way to express the fatigue capacity of prestressed concrete beams in the form of S-N curve, which can be utilized under variable amplitude fatigue load.

Fatigue crack propagation behavior and the fatigue life in-high performance steel were investigated by means of fatigue crack propagation tests under constant loading conditions of 'R=0.1 and f=0.1 Hz', 'R=0.3 and f=0.3 Hz', and 'R=0.5 and f=0.5 Hz' for the load ratio and frequency, respectively. A modified Forman model was developed to describe the fatigue crack propagation behavior for the conditions. The modified Forman model is applicable to all fatigue crack propagation regions I, II, and III by implementing the threshold stress intensity factor range and the effective stress intensity factor range caused by crack closure. The results show that predicted fatigue lives of Forman and modified Forman models were 8,814 and 12,292 cycles, respectively when the crack propagated approximately 5.0 mm and the load ratio and frequency were both 0.1. Comparison of the test results indicates that the modified Forman model showed much more effective fatigue crack propagation behavior in high-performance steel.

Composites composed of a precipitation harden 2124 alloy matrix reinforced by SiC whiskers, which are fabricated by powder metallugy, are suscepttible to fatigue damage due to the pile-up of moving dislocation and the microcrack initiation along SiC-Al interfaces, especially at the external surfaces of a body. The initial process, such as pile-up of dislocation or microcrack, that corresponds to the stage I during fatigue failure process are too small to be detected and characterized by conventional ultrasonic technique. This paper describes the applicability of an acoustic microscope with Line-Focus-Beam(LFB) lens of 225MHz to evaluate fatigue damage of SiC whiskers reinforced Al alloy. The specimens which were 6.6mm thick, 13mm wide, and 105mm long in the gage section were fatigued in tension-tension under load control. The velocity of leaky surface and leaky pseudosurface acoustic waves are obtained by FFT analysis technique from V(z) curve which is a record of output of piezoelectric transducer. These results are discussed with the change of number of fatigue cycles. The result obtained by acoustic microscope is compared with that by ultrasonic technique generated at 5MHz with conventional surface wave transducers.
