The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fatigue life at the rib weldment of generator shaft. In order to do it, the stress distributions at the weldment under design loading condition were evaluated using FEA and analytical approach. The fatigue strengths of the as welded and toe machined rib specimen were estimated using 3-points bending fatigue test. Based on the fatigue test results, the S-N curve far the rib weldment of the generator shaft with post treatment was established.

To evaluate the fatigue lifetime of structures, it is necessary to identify the value of parameters through tests or literature. it is difficult for field engineers to get the necessary data through tests from the viewpoint of time and cost. In this study. we surveyed literature and proposed a procedure to identify the fatigue parameters for fatigue life evaluation by local strain approach.

국내 도로포장의 주요 파손형태는 주변환경 및 반복 교통하중 조건에 의한 소성변형(rutting), 피로균열, 반사균열, 온도균열 등이 있는데, 포장이 설계수명에 도달하기 이전에 주로 발생하며 이로 인한 도로포장의 유지관리에 막대한 국가예산이 낭비되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 토목섬유 아스팔트 포장 시스템을 체계적으로 정립하기 위해 휠트래킹 시험과 균열저항성 시험을 수행하여 토목섬유 아스팔트 포장의 소성변형 및 균열 저항성을 분석하였다. 이러한 실험결과를 통해 아스팔트 포장에서의 토목섬유 보강 효과가 평가되었다.

En case of the fatigue life evaluation of rolling stock structures, mainly deterministic fatigue life evaluation has been carried out. But most of the parameters influencing on the fatigue life have a probabilistic distribution such as normal, log-normal, Weibull, etc. Therefore, to take probabilistic factors into fatigue life evaluation, probabilistic methods are being applied to the fatigue life evaluation of rolling stock. In this paper, probabilistic S-N analysis and methods using limit state functions are introduced. And some results of fatigue life evaluation obtained with these methods for rolling stock structures are shown.

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete bridge decks significantly affects the degradation of the capacity. Due to the advantageous characteristics such as high tensile strength and non-corrosive property, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been gathering much interest from designers and engineers for possible usage as a alternative reinforcement for a steel reinforcing bar. However, its application has not been widespread, because there data for short- and long-term performance data of FRP reinforced concrete members are insufficient. In this paper, seven full-scale decks with dimensions of $4000{\times}3000{\times}240mm$ were prepared and tested to failure in the laboratory. The test parameter was the bottom reinforcement ratio in transverse direction. The decks were subjected to various levels of concentrated cyclic load with a contact area of $577{\times}231mm$ to simulate the vehicle loading of DB-24 truck wheel loads acting on the center span of the deck. It was observed that the glass FRP (GFRP) reinforced deck on a restraint girder is strongly effected to the level of the applied load rather than the bottom reinforcement ratio. The study results showed that the maximum load less than 58% of the maximum static load can be applied to the deck to resist a fatigue load of 2 million cycles. The fatigue life of the GFRP decks from this study showed the lower and higher fatigue performance than that of ordinary steel and CFRP rebar reinforced concrete deck. respectively.

Fatigue properties of composite materials are extremely important to design durable and reliable helicopter rotor blades. However, it is very difficult to apply conventional fatigue test loads in short period. Therefore, accelerating test speed and facilitating spectrum load realization are required. In this study, we have developed a fatigue testing method that uses a resonance of simply supported beam type blade specimen. This test consists in exciting the blade specimen with a frequency that corresponds to its natural frequency. In that case, the test specimen similar to a beam fixed between two pivot points starts vibrating and is significantly deformed. Resonant fatigue tests were performed by changing exciting vertical amplitude and frequency, and S-N curves of each composite materials were successfully obtained.
