In order to investigate how the fatigue damage effects on the critical properties of superconductor, a fatigue test at room temperature and an Ic measurement test at 4.2K were carried out in this study, respectively, using a 9 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cable. Through the fatigue test of a 9 strand Cu-NUNbTi/Cu composite cable, a conventional S-N curve was plotted even though there was a possibility of fretting among strands. It was found that the maximum stress corresponding to the inflection point on the S-N curve obtained was nearly the same value as the yielding strength of cable obtained from the static tensile test. However, the effect of cabling in multi-strands superconducting cable on the fatigue strength was not noticeable. The critical current(Ic) measurement was carried out at 4.2K in a NbTi strand out of the fatigued cable. It showed a degradation of lc at high stress amplitude regions over 380NTa, and the degradation became significant as the applied stress amplitude increased.

In this paper, the characteristics of contact surface damage due to fretting in a press-fitted shaft below the fretting fatigue limit are proposed by experimental methods. A series of fatigue tests and interrupted fatigue tests of small scale press-fitted specimen were carried out by using rotating bending fatigue test machine. Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microscope or profilometer. It is found that fretting fatigue cracks were initiated even under the fretting fatigue limit on the press-fitted shafts by fretting damage. The fatigue cracks of press-fitted shafts were initiated from the edge of contact surface and propagated inward in a semi-elliptical shape. Furthermore, the fretting wear rates at the contact edge are increased rapidly at the initial stage of total fatigue life. After steep increasing, the increase of wear rate is nearly constant under the load condition below the fretting fatigue limit. It is thus suggested that the fretting wear must be considered on the fatigue life evaluation because the fatigue crack nucleation and propagation process is strongly related to the evolution of surface profile by fretting wear in the press-fitted structures.

Camber with positive deflection is one of the very important design parameters in the manufacture of railway coach. Positive camber is defined as concave shape such as an arch and it increases the strength of structure remarkably. But during the operation of a structure, the positive camber turns into negative camber and it loses the strength of structure. Therefore we should consider the camber effect when we evaluate the fatigue strength of negative cambered structure. For this purpose, we made a model of negative cambered locomotive car body and performed structural analysis and also we measured the dynamic loads at critical points during commercial line operation. Fatigue strength of locomotive was calculated by applying Miner's damage accumulation rule. Fatigue strength of the two locomotives which have different camber were compared to find out the effect of camber on dynamic load amplitude. We found that the more negative camber a locomotive had, the shorter fatigue strength obtained.

본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도교의 피로에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해 기존의 피로손상예측이론을 바탕으로 강철도교의 피로손상 및 피로균열발생까지의 피로수명을 평가하였으며, 또한 신뢰성이론에 근거하여 사용수명에 따른 신뢰도를 평가하였다. 그리고 이러한 평가를 바탕으로 다양한 통행조건에 대해 등가열차하중을 이용한 간편한 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 피로손상평가를 위하여 적용한 실동응력은 대상교량이 경험하는 다양한 하중조건에 대해 구조해석을 통해서 구해진 응력이력에 보정계수를 적용하여 구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 운행특성, 즉 교행조건의 고려 유 무에 따른 잔존수명은 교행특성을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 약간 긴 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 제안한 간편한 분석기법인 등가열차하중모형에 의한 잔존수명평가 결과는 상세잔존수명평가 결과와 비교하여 볼 때 그 차이가 근사한 것으로 평가되었다.

복합재료의 피로수명을 평가하는 것은 여러 가지 파손모드와 파손모드 간의 강호작용 때문에 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 현상론적인 모델(비선형 강도저하 모델)을 이용하여 피로수명과 잔류강도를 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 잔류강도를 하중 사이클 수와 피로응력의 함수로 가정하였으며, 계산에 필요한 모델변수(강도저하 파라미터, 피로수명형상 파라미터)를 피로수명의 함수로 가정하였다 임의로 배열된 하중 스펙트럼 상에서 응력수준에 따른 모델 매개변수를 구하기 위해 S-N 선도를 이용하였고, 상이한 응력비에 대하여 전술한 매개변수를 Goodman식의 보정을 통하여 계산하였다(피로선도). 임의의 하중이력 후의 잔여강도 분포를 2모수 weibull 함수로 표현하였다.

Fretting is a kind of surface degradation mechanism observed in mechanical components and structures. The fretting damage decrease in 50-70% of the plain fatigue strength. This may be observed in aircraft, automobile and nuclear power plant used in special environment and various loading conditions. In the present study, the characteristics of the fretting fatigue are investigated using the two aluminum alloy(Al2024-T3511 and Al7050-T7451). Through the experiment, it is found that the fretting fatigue strength of the Al7050-T7451 alloy decreased about 50% from the plain fatigue strength, while the fretting fatigue strength of the Al2024-T3511 alloy decreased about 45%. The tire track was widely observed in fracture surface area of oblique crack which was induced by contact pressure. These results can be the basic data to the structural integrity evaluation of aluminum alloy subjected to fretting damage.

The safe design against fatigue failure becomes more important criterion in highway bridges. The fatigue-safety evaluation is performed for the current bridge code. A reliability model incorporating fatigue damage is formulated and the satety indices are calculated. The present study indicates that the calculated safety indices vary greatly with traffic volumes and loadometer values. A method is proposed to maintain uniform reliability for vafious traffic conditions and loadings.

The estimation of fatigue life at the design stage of membrane type LNG tank is very important in order to arrive at feasible and cost effective solutions considering the total lifetime of the tank. In this study, the practical procedure of fatigue life prediction by use of cumulative damage factors based on Miner-Palmgren hypothesis and probability density function has been shown with the corner region of Gaz Transport Membrane type LNG tank being used as an example. In particular the parameters of Weibull distribution that determine the stress spectrum are discussed. The main results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. The recommended value for the shape parameter of Weibull distribution for the LNG tank is 1.1 in case of using the direct calculation method proposed in this study. 2. The calculated fatigue life is influenced by the shape parameter of Weibull distribution and stress block. The safe fatigue design can be achieved by using higher value of shape parameter and the stress blocks divided into more stress blocks.

The extensive use of prestressed reinforced concrete (PSC) highway bridges in marine environment drastically increases the sensitivity to both fatigue-and corrosion-induced damage of their critical structural components during their service lives. Within this scenario, an integrated method that is capable of evaluating the fatigue reliability, identifying a condition-based maintenance, and predicting the remaining service life of its critical components is therefore needed. To accomplish this goal, a procedure for fatigue reliability prediction of PSC highway bridges is proposed in the present study. Vehicle-bridge coupling vibration analysis is performed for obtaining the equivalent moment ranges of critical section of bridges under typical fatigue truck models. Three-dimensional nonlinear mathematical models of fatigue trucks are simplified as an eleven-degree-of-freedom system. Road surface roughness is simulated as zero-mean stationary Gaussian random processes using the trigonometric series method. The time-dependent stress-concentration factors of reinforcing bars and prestressing tendons are accounted for more accurate stress ranges determination. The limit state functions are constructed according to the Miner's linear damage rule, the time-dependent S-N curves of prestressing tendons and the site-specific stress cycle prediction. The effectiveness of the methodology framework is demonstrated to a T-type simple supported multi-girder bridge for fatigue reliability evaluation.
