파괴역할적으로 피로문제를 다룰 때는 언제나 crack의 존재를 전재로 한다. 재료가 피로하중을 받아 파괴에이르는 과정의 설명은, 일차적으로는 피로에의한 crack의 발생이고, 다음단계로는 발 생한 crack들의 상호연결 또는 성장을 거쳐 최종적으로 파단에 이른다는 순서로 이루어진다고 보 기 때문이다. 또한, crack의 존재를 전제로 하더래도 crack청단의 응력장이 탄성론적으로 해석될 수 있어야함도 절대적인 전제가 되고 있다. 모든 피로제엔 각경형태의 crack발생, 성장이 관찰되 고 있는데, 이들 모든 crack들이다. 파괴역학적으로 다루어 질 수 있는 것은 물론 아니고, 아직도 K해석이 도어있지 않은 crack들이 많이 남아 있는 것이다. 예컨대 회전굽힘 피로시험편에서 관찰 되는 각종 형태의 표면피로 crack들은 응력해석의 곤란 때문에 아직은 이들에 적용시킬 K의 표 식이 없는 실정이라 하겠다. 이들 crack에 대해서는 K해석 뿐만 아니고, 피로역학적인 다른 Factor 즉 $r_{p}$라든가 .phi.같은 것들도 이해색상태에 있어 이 분야에의 연구가 많이 기대되고 있는 실정이다. Crack에 대한 연구는, 그것이 파괴의 전제가 되기 때문에 큰 의의를 갖는다고 보 겠는데 표면 Crack이 연결 또는 성장해서 시편의 전주를 완전히 일주 했어도 그것만으로는 바로 재료의 파괴에 직결이 되지 않는 것도 이 시험편의 특색이라 하겠다. 물론 회전굽힘 피로시험편 외에도 K해석이 되어있지 않은 경우는 아직도 많으며, K가 해석되어 있는 경우에 대해서도 정확 한 경계조건 등을 잘 검토해 가면서 응용함이 옳을 것이다. 화전굽힘피로의 경우나 그밖의 예에 서와같이 정확한 K해석이 이루어져 있지 않드래도 연구자에 따라 "Effective Streess Intensity Factor"라는 것을 쓰는 예도 왕왕있는데, 이에는 상당한 검토와 타당성제가 요구되고 있으며, 그 사용가능성여부에 대해서는 논란이 많이 따르는데 상례이기도 하다. 몇가지의 피로구열해석예를 들어보기로 한다. 들어보기로 한다.

Fretting damage can be observed in automobile and railway vehicle, fossil and nuclear power plant, aircraft etc. In the present study, railway axle material RSA1 used for evaluation of fretting fatigue life. Plain and fretting fatigue tests were carried out using rotary bending fatigue tester with proving ring and bridge type contact pad. Through these test, the following results are obtained: 1) it is found that the fretting fatigue limit of standard specimen decreased about 37% compared to the plain fatigue limit. 2) The early crack of Shinkansen type specimens initiated in contact area and final fractured below samp=214 MPa. 3) The early crack of all TGV type specimens initiated in rounded area and fractured. 4) Tire tracks and rubbed scars were observed in the oblique crack region and fatigue crack growth region of fracture surface. 5) The wear debris is observed on the contact surface, and oblique cracks at an earlier stage are initiated in contact area. These results can be used as useful data in a structural integrity evaluation of railway axle.

This study considers how the fatigue behavior and probabilistic properties of SAE1055 steel are related to its hardness level. SAE1055 steel was heat-treated using induction hardening. Five types of specimens were prepared (A: base material, B: through hardened material with HV390, C: through hardened material with HV510, D: through hardened material with HV700, and E: surface hardened material with HV700). Fatigue tests were performed under a stress ratio of R = -1 using a 4-point rotary bending fatigue tester. The fatigue behaviors were greatly influenced by the hardness, but the fatigue limit did not increase over a hardness of HV510. In addition, the effect of the hardness level on the failure mechanism was evaluated using a scanning electron microscope. The probabilistic properties of the fatigue life were investigated using a probabilistic S-N approach, and the effect of the hardness level on these properties was evaluated using a residue analysis.

CrMo alloy steel was nitrided using two types of processing methods, ion-nitriding processing and nitrocarburizing. Both processes were conducted for a duration of 30 min. To compare the surface hardness of the alloys created by the different processes, microhardness tests were conducted, and fatigue tests of each material were performed by a cantilever rotary bending fatigue test machine (Yamamoto, YRB 200) in the very high cycle regime ($N>10^7cycle$). Fractography of the fractured surfaces was conducted by scanning electron microscopy - to observe the fracture mechanisms of very high cycle fatigue and the effect of the nitriding process on the fatigue characteristics.

Fretting is a kind of surface damage mechanism observed in mechanically jointed components and structures. The initial crack under fretting damage occurs at lower stress amplitude and lower cycles of cyclic loading than that under plain fatigue condition. This can be observed in automobile and railway vehicle, fossil and nuclear power plant, aircraft etc. In the present study, railway axle material RSA1 used for evaluation of fretting fatigue life. Plain and fretting fatigue tests were carried out using rotary bending fatigue tester with proving ring and bridge type contact pad. Through these experiments, it is found that the fretting fatigue limit decreased about 37% compared to the plain fatigue limit. In fretting fatigue, the wear debris is observed on the contact surface, and oblique cracks at an earlier stage are initiated in contact area. These results can be used as useful data in a structural integrity evaluation of railway axle.

A study has been made to investigate the effects of hot isostatic pressing(HIPing) on the microstructure and high temperature fatigue lives of the IN738LC, Ni-base superalloy used in turbine blades, with emphasis on the elimination of casting microporosity and fatigue damage through HIP treatments. Microstructure was observed using OM, SEM and the fatigue life was investigated with rotate bending fatigue tester. The results show that the fatigue lives of properly HIP-processed specimens could be extended be extended by a factor of about sixty. In contrast, no comparable life improvement was achieved with heat treatment only. The repetitive HIP treatment was shown to be very effective as a means of rejuvenating the fatigue life of intentionally fatigue-damaged IN738LC by restoration of the initial alloy microstructure and additional removal of fine casting defects which remained in the HIP-processed material.

This study investigated the influence of high temperature and UNSM on the fatigue behavior of Inconel 718 alloy at RT, 300, 500, and $600^{\circ}C$. Fatigue properties of Inconel 718 were reduced at high temperatures compared to those at room temperature. However, the endurance limit was similar to that of the room temperature sample at the design stress level. High-temperature fatigue characteristics of the UNSM-treated specimen were significantly improved at the design stress level as compared to the untreated specimens. Specifically, the influence of temperature on the S-N curves at the design stress level of the UNSM-treated specimen showed the tendency of longer fatigue lives than those of untreated ones. Researchers can obtain rotary fatigue test results simply by heating specimens with a halogen lamp to precise temperatures during specific operations.

In this study, the effects of surface oxide film formation on the fatigue behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy were analyzed in terms of the corrosion time of the alloy. The aluminum material used is known to have high corrosion resistance due to the passivation phenomenon that prevents corrosion. Aluminum alloys have been widely used in various industrial applications such as aircraft component manufacturing because of their lighter weight and higher strength than other materials. Therefore, studies on the fatigue behavior of materials and passivation properties that prevent corrosion are required. The fatigue behavior in terms of the corrosion time was analyzed by using a four-pointing bending machine, and the surface corrosion level of the aluminum material in terms of the corrosion time was estimated by measuring the surface roughness. In addition, fractographic analysis was performed and the oxide films formed on the material surface were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that corrosion actively progressed for four weeks during the initial corrosion phase, the fatigue life significantly decreased, and the surface roughness increased. However, after four weeks, the corrosion reaction tended to slow down due to the passivation phenomenon of the material. Therefore, on the basis of SEM analysis results, it was concluded that the growth of the surface oxide film was reduced after four weeks and then the oxide film on the material surface served as a protection layer and prevented further corrosion.
