The objective of the present paper is to evaluate the effect of the evolution of contact surface profile caused by fretting wear on fatigue life of press-fitted shaft by means of an analytical method based on experimental data. A finite element analysis was performed to analyze the stress states of press-fitted shaft, considering the worn contact profiles of shaft. The fatigue lives of the press-fitted shaft reflecting the evolution of contact stress induced by fretting wear were evaluated by stress-life approach using fatigue notch factor. It is found that the stress concentration of contact edge in press-fitted shaft decreases rapidly at the initial stage of total fatigue life, and its location shifts from the contact edge to the inside with increasing number of fatigue cycles. Thus the change of crack nucleation position in press-fitted shaft is mainly caused by the stress change of contact edge due to the evolution of contact surface profile by fretting wear. Furthermore, the estimated fatigue lives by stress-life approach at the end of running-in period of the fretting wear process corresponded well to the experimental results. It is thus suggested that the effect of fretting wear on fatigue life in press fits is strongly related to the evolution of surface profile at the initial stage of total fatigue life.

본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 국내 최초 적용된 연속철근 콘크리트 개념의 얇은 덧씌우기 공법(CRCO : Thin Bonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlay)의 거동 특성을 살펴보았다. 서해안 고속도로의 폐도 구간에 CRCO 공법과 JCO 공법(Jointed Concrete Overlay)을 시험시공 하였으며, CRCO 공법에 삽입된 종방향 철근으로 효과를 검토하였다. 시험시공 후 균열 조사 결과, CRCO 구간의 기존 줄눈부에서부터 반사 균열이 발생하였으나 그 폭은 매우 좁았다. 철근의 구속역할로 인해 CRCO 공법에서 더 많은 균열이 발생하였으며, 그 간격은 CRCP 보다 더 좁았다. 부착강도 측정 결과, 표면 처리로 Cold Milling 후 이물질을 제거하여 초기에 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았다. 기존 JCP의 줄눈부에 수평으로 매설한 계측기 데이터분석 결과, 초기 균열 터짐 시 일정 폭 이상으로 벌어지지 못하게 종방향 철근이 잡아주는 역할을 하였으며, 온도변화에 대한 수평 변위 발생 억제 효과도 있었다. 하지만 층간 부착 문제가 발생할 경우, 철근의 구속 효과는 저감되었다. 수직 계측기의 데이터를 통해서 철근이 없는 JCO 공법에 비해 CRCO 공법은 종방향 철근 위치에서 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았으며, 현장 코어링 작업을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 슬래브 내의 수평 거동을 분석한 결과, 초기에 철근의 구속으로 인해 CRCO 공법에서는 인장 변형률이, 구속이 미미한 JCO 공법은 압축력이 발생하였다. FWD 데이터 분석 결과, CRCO 공법의 처짐량이 JCO 보다 더 적게 발생하였으며, 지지력 평가에서는 전반적으로 덧씌우기 후가 더 크게 나타났으며, 특히 CRCO 공법이 JCO 공법에 비해 지지력에 대한 덧씌우기 두께 효과가 더 컸다.

The paper presents a case study in which the structural condition assessment of the East Bay bridge in Gibsonton, Florida is evaluated with the help of remote health monitoring techniques. The bridge is a four-span, continuous, deck-type reinforced concrete structure supported on prestressed pile bents, and is instrumented with smart Fiber Optic Sensors. The sensors used for remote health monitoring are the newly emerged Fabry-Perot (FP), and are both surface-mounted and embedded in the deck. The sensing system can be accessed remotely through fast Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), which permits the evaluation of the bridge behavior under live traffic loads. The bridge was open to traffic since March 2005, and the collected structural data have been continuously analyzed since. The data revealed an increase in strain readings, which suggests a progression in damage. Recent visual observations also indicated the presence of longitudinal cracks along the bridge length. After the formation of these cracks, the sensors readings were analyzed and used to extrapolate the values of the maximum stresses at the crack location. The data obtained were also compared to initial design values of the bridge under factored gravity and live loads. The study showed that the proposed structural health monitoring technique proved to provide an efficient mean for condition assessment of bridge structures providing it is implemented and analyzed with care.

Piercing is the process of shearing a circular hole in sheet metal, whose high shear force makes it difficult to secure the durability of tools. In addition, uneven clearance between tools due to poor alignment of the piercing punch causes accelerated die wear and breakage of the tool. This study reviewed the feasibility of in-situ determining alignment failure during the piercing process by analyzing the signal deviation of a bolt-type piezo sensor installed inside the tool whose alignment level was controlled. Finite element analysis was performed to select the optimal sensor location on the piercing tool for sensitive detection of process signals. A well-aligned piercing process results in uniform deformation in the circumferential direction, and shearing is completed at a stroke similar to the sheet thickness. Afterward, a sharp decrease in shear load is observed. The misaligned piecing punch leads to a gradual decrease in the load after the maximum shear load. This gradual decrease is due to the progressive shear deformation that proceeds in the circumferential direction after the initial crack occurs at the narrow clearance site. Therefore, analyzing the stroke at which the maximum shear load occurs and the load reduction rate after that could detect the misalignment of the piercing punch in real-time.

중온 아스팔트 포장공법은 밀입도 아스팔트 포장공법 대비 생산 및 포설온도를 낮추어 생산 및 시공이 가능한 포장공법으로 연료 소모량과 온실가스 배출량 면에서 효과가 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 중온 개질 아스팔트 포장의 장기 현장 공용성을 평가하기 위하여 시험포장이 실시 된 구간에 대해 미끄럼 저항성, 소성변형, 평탄성과 같은 현장실험을 수행하였다. 현장실험 결과 미끄럼 저항성은 공용 20개월 후에도 공용초기와 같이 S1 위험도 1기준을 만족시켰으나 소성변형, 평탄성에서는 공용기간에 따라 다소 감소추세를 보였다. 그러나 현장실험이 수행된 구간은 버스정류장으로 중차량 통행량이 많고 중차량인 버스의 출발과 정지가 반복되는 가혹한 환경조건에 노출되어 있음을 고려하였을 때 소성변형, 평탄성의 감소추세는 수용할 수 있는 정도이다. 균열의 경우 공용 11개월 후에는 관찰되지 않았으나 공용 20개월 후 에는 미세한 균열이 발생한 것을 관찰 할 수 있었는데 이는 첨가된 섬유로 인해 혼합물의 균열 저항성이 향상된 것으로 판단된다.

An essential step for SERGI is to show the TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR (TP) efficacy for all transformers and all types of rupture of insulation. Its research program philosophy is thus to maintain a strong connection between experiments and the theoretical developments. Up to now, two TP test campaigns have been performed, both under the worst conditions by creating low impedance faults leading to electrical arcs inside the transformer tank dielectric oil. In 2002, Electricite de France performed 28 TP tests. Then, in 2004, a second campaign of 34 TP tests was carried out by CEPEL, the Brazilian independent High Voltage Laboratory. For the 62 tests, each transformer was equipped with the TP, which reacts directly to the moving dynamic pressure peak, shock wave, caused by the low impedance fault. When an electrical arc occurs, only one pressure peak is generated. The initial energy transfer is almost instantaneous, and so is the phase change. Because of the oil inertia, the gas is very quickly pressurised. As it is more difficult to vaporise a liquid than to crack oil-vapour into smaller molecules, the arc location would mainly remain in the gaseous phase after and less gas will be produced. As a result, when comparing tests for which pressure peaks are respectively equal to 8 bar (116 psi) and 8.8 bar (127 psi), the corresponding arc energies vary by an order 10 of magnitude (0.1 MJ and 1 MJ respectively). The correlation of the results obtained between arc energy and dynamic pressure demonstrates that the arc energy is not the key parameter during transformer tank explosion, which is in opposition with the common electrical engineers belief.
