원고가 피동맥류 파열로 인한 지주막하 출혈 발병 무렵 연장 근무와 과중한 업무로 피로가 누적됐음을 알 수 있고, 달리 원고가 휴무 중에 과로의 원인이 될 만한 행위를 하였다고 인정할 객관적 자료가 없다면, 원고의 과중한 업무와 지주막하 출혈의 원인이 되는 혈압 상승 사이에 상당 인과 관계가 있다고 할 것이다.

Structural integrity of railway vehicles should last for a long period against various and continuous fatigue loadings, and the carbody structures of railway vehicle are manufactured by applying multiform welding types for each material. Since the most of cracks are occurred and proceeded at the vicinity of welding area during the lifetime of carbody structure, the fatigue strength evaluation for welding area of carbody structure should have been carried out. Rotem Company has evaluated lifetime and fatigue strength of carbody structure according to the fatigue analysis based on the international standard and/or inner-official regulation. This study introduces the fatigue analysis method that we have evaluated and calculated the damages for the welding areas of carbody structure under various fatigue loading conditions using cumulative fatigue damage rule(Miner's rule) to verify whether the cumulative damage does exceed unity. This study contains the fatigue test of specimens to derive stress-life relations(S-N curve), sub-modeling analysis and the calculation of cumulative damages under fatigue loading. The fatigue analysis verifies the welding area shall be capable of withstanding under fatigue loading, identifies how critical area shall be selected and presents the principles to be used for design verification.

In this study. we empirically compared and investigated the impacts and effects of M&A between the merging firms and the merged firms during the period from 1990 to 1997 which the developed countries' market principles were adopted and more autonomous and competitive M&A market were activated. For this purpose, this paper has set hypothesis and tested by analyzing those AAR, and CARs employing both market model and market adjusted model. The empirical results revealed in this research show that the CAR is more positive for merged firms than merging firms which are contrast with results of previous studies researched in 1980s.

Endbeam is an important structural member of freight bogie for the support of service loading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. However, endbeam occur fatigue fracture in dynamic stress concentration location because comparatively strength and stiffness are low. Therefore, structure analysis is performed to evaluate structural problem of endbeam and local strain range as durability analysis. The number of cycles is extracted concerning the bogie in operation by measurement dynamic stress time history on critical part which is crack initiation in actual fact. At this time rainflow cycle counting is used to consider change of stress for operating condition. Based on the fatigue life curves and the stress analysis, the fatigue life of the endbeam is predicted and compared with the experimentally determined fatigue life, resulting in a fairly good correlation.

The main objective of this research is to develop fatigue prediction model for flexible pavements using energy ratio factor and phase angle. The two parameters are considered as fundamental properties of time and temperature dependent viscoelastic asphalt concrete materials. The energy ratio factor is defined as the ratio of the pseudo-total cumulative dissipated energy to the cumulative dissipated energy to failure during the test. The phase angle between the stress and strain ware signals stems from the intrinsic the dependent asphalt mixture behavior. The phase angle was computed and the relationship between the initial mixture stiffness and the initial phase angle is presented. As a result, fatigue prediction model for flexible pavements was proposed using intrinsic properties of viscoelastic asphalt concrete materials.

A systematic procedure to evaluate fatigue damages and to predict remaining fatigue lives is introduced for a steel railway bridge. Fatigue damages are evaluated by using the currently available fatigue damage theory. Fatigue lives with the condition of fatigue crack initiation are estimated by the probabilistic approach based on the reliability theory as well as the simplified procedure. A equivalent deterministic procedure is also suggested to assess the remaining fatigue life under various traffic conditions. Numerical simulations are used to assess dynamic stress histories with correction factors. Loading models are obtained from the passenger volume data. Train coincidences are also considered. Based on the results, the fatigue life is found to be underestimated by without considering the coincidence of trains on the bridge. The simplified method proposed in this study are found to yield approximately the same results as the systematic procedure.

The present paper focuses on the development of a realistic analysis model for the deformation calculation of reinforced concrete beams subjected to fatigue loadings. The proposed model considers the effect of cyclic creep, which arises from the repeated loading, to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete beams. A comprehensive experimental program has been set up to identify the deformation accumulation of reinforced concrete beams under repeated loadings. The major test variables were the concrete compressive strength and the magnitude of fatigue loads. The model was calibrated from the present test results. The proposed model allows more realistic analysis of reinforced concrete beams under fatigue loads, especially deformation accumulation of such beams.

Fatigue life prediction methodology of the rubber component made of vulcanized natural rubber under variable amplitude loadings was studied. The displacement-controlled fatigue tests were conducted at different levels and the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was selected as damage parameters. A fatigue life curve of the rubber represented by the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was determined from the nonlinear finite element analysis. The transmission load history of SAE as variable amplitude loading was used to perform the fatigue life prediction. And then a signal processing of variable loading by racetrack and simplified rainflow cycle counting methods were performed. The modified miner's rule as cumulative damage summation was used. Finally, when the gate value is 30%, the predicted fatigue life of the rubber component agreed well with the experimental fatigue lives with a factor of two.

The residual life expectancy of the container crane which has been operated more or less 39 years is examined carefully, especially on the boom structure. The basic load and load combination need to be considered for to analyse the boom structure. Various parts of container crane are modeled for to analyse stress, the deflection and the fatigue. Analysis results show that the boom is stable in the stress and deflection but the boom vertical member is over the fatigue life. The rail support beam and boom bottom chord are approximately near the fatigue life. Analysis results show that the residual life of rail support beam and the boom bottom chord would be 2.2 years and 6.8 years, respectively.

In this study, fatigue tests on existing continuous welded rail (CWR) on a concrete track were carried out. Based on the test results, a S-N curve expressing the remaining life of the CWR at a fracture probability of 50% was obtained using weighted probit analysis suitable for small-sample fatigue data sets. As rails had different histories in terms of accumulated passing tonnage, the test data were corrected to average out the accumulated passing tonnage. The remaining service life for the CWR on the concrete track in an urban railway was estimated using the prediction equation for the bending stress of rail developed in the past to estimate rail base bending stress and taking the surface irregularities into consideration. Estimating the remaining service life of the CWR in an urban railway showed that the rail replacement period could be extended over 200MGT. In addition, comparing the concrete track to the ballast track, the fatigue life of rail was analyzed as approximately 300MGT higher than. Therefore, the rail replacement criteria needs to distinguish between the ballast track and the concrete track, and not the criteria needs to be changed as a target for the maintenance, although it is necessary to remove longitudinal rail surface irregularities at welds by grinding.
