This study proposes a structural design method for the upper control arm installed at the rear side of a SUV. The weight of control arm can be reduced by applying the design. In this research, the former includes optimization technology, and the latter the technologies for selecting aluminum as a steel-substitute material. Strength assessment is the most important design criterion in the structural design of a control arm. At the proto design stage of a new control arm, FE (finite element) analysis is often utilized to predict its strength. In this study, the kriging interpolation method is adopted to obtain the minimum weight satisfying the strength constraint and durability criteria. The optimum results determined from the in-house program are compared with those of ANSYS WORKBENCH. The durability assessment is obtained by a index of fatigue durability and trial & error method, MSC. Fatigue program.

This study aims at the structural analysis of vibration and fatigue according to the tie rod configuration. The maximum displacement amplitude is happened at 156Hz by harmonic vibration analysis, this tie rod model can be broken as the weakest state. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but 'Sine wave' becomes most stable. In case of 'Sine wave' with the average stress of 0MPa and the amplitude stress of 570MPa, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 70%. This stress state can be shown with 140 times more than the damage possibility of 'SAE bracket history' or 'SAE transmission'. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design on tie rod by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

In this study, as part of the subway braking system, the structural analysis was performed with the fatigue analysis by comparing subway brake disc and wheel-type brake. When structural analysis was performed, it was possible to verify that the wheel-type brake were higher than the brake discs in case of total deformation. As the same loading conditions were given to the subway brake disc and wheel-type brake, wheel-type brakes was shown to have more deformation than brake disk but lower damage than the subway brake disc. Comparing with each fatigue loading condition, the maximum fatigue life for 'Sample history' is found to be about 60 times longer than for 'SAE bracket history'.

The design of pressure plate for automotive clutch also has been improved. The tension of the clutch spring compresses the clutch plate onto the flywheel to deliver the power. In this study, three types of pressure plate for clutch were modelled by using CATIA program, and the structural analyses due to external forces were performed with ANSYS program. It is thought that this study result can be used to verify the stability and strength according to the shape of the pressure plate.

In this study, two models due to the configuration of caliper cylinder among the parts of automotive brake system are studied by structural and fatigue analysis. As the maximum equivalent stress at model 2 becomes 1.5 times lower than model 1, model 2 can endure load higher than model 1. In case of fatigue damage analysis on model 1 and 2, model 1 has the damage area more than model 2. Fatigue damage at model 1 happen more than model 2. These study results can be effectively utilized with the design on caliper cylinder by anticipating prevention against its damage and investigating durability.

There are fatigue fractures at the practical area. The fatigue load happens non- constantly. As it is impossible to be predicted, it can not be known when the fracture happens. Non -constant fatigue load is simulated in this study. The stability and the life of the material are analyzed theoretically by the program of Ansys workbench. These results are greatly applied as the practical structures to predict the prevention of failure and the endurance.

In this study, one-way fluid structure interaction analysis was adapted to verify the durability of the outdoor evacuation stair structure operated in the event of a fire when wind pressure caused by a typhoon was applied. To this end, flow analysis was performed with the flow field around the structure of the evacuation stair in a steady state, and the durability was analyzed through structural analysis such as structural stress, deformation, and fatigue life using these analysis results by fluid data input data for structural analysis. As a result of flow numerical analysis, the air flow was different according to the shape of the evacuation stair structure, and this flow velocity distribution generated by the total pressure on the structure surface. Through the structural analysis results calculated by this total pressure, the safety factor calculated as the maximum stress value was found to be more than the safety factor, and durability was proven by fatigue life and deformation analysis.

In recent investigations, reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Sheets (CFS) subjected to fatigue loading were reported to be failed at the ends of CFS by its debonding. U-shaped CFS were attached to both ends of the CFS when fatigue tests on strengthened beams were conducted to delay and/or prevent fatigue failures of adhesive interface. The experimental parameters of this study were the usage of anchorage at the ends of CFS, the number of CFS layers, and the applied load levels of 60%~90% of the static ultimate load obtained from the static tests. The failure modes and the load cycle-deflection relations were observed and discussed from the experimental results. Those results also showed that the U-shaped anchoring system changes the fatigue failure modes and influences greatly on the fatigue capacity of the strengthened beams.
