This paper presents a fatigue reliability model for the reliability-based evaluation of remaining fatigue life of existing rail-road bridges. It is demonstrated that the simple fatigue reliability model based on the Weibull distribution of fatigue life can be extended by incorporating various effects due to the rate of the train-traffic increase and in-service Inspections. The paper also suggests the system fatigue reliability analysis using an approximate formulation and 2nd-order bound solutions. The application of the proposed model to existing rail-road brdiges based on field load tests shows that it may be practically used for the assessment of fatigue reliability, remaining life, and in-service inspection scheduling of existing rail-road bridges.

A study on the probabilistic methodology for the estimation of the remaining life of Pressurized pipelines containing active corrosion defects is presented. This reliability assessment is earned out using extream value distribution of the corroded defects instead of already published failure perssure moded like NG18 or ASME B31G. The failure probability of pipelines depends on the number of corroded defects. and it could be calculated directly as the area exceeded a defined L V(Limited Value of corrosion depth). The remaining life of pressurized pipelines can also be estimated by the PDF of extream value distribution as calculating the exceeded area with a defined failure probability.

The remaining life estimation of the level luffing crane component, which has operated for about 20 years is examined carefully, especially on the crane structures. To analyse the crane sructures, the basic load and load combination needed to be considered. We modeled various parts of the level luffing crane to analyse fatigue. Fatigue analysis results showed that the level luffing crane is in the fatigue life so that the crane is in the safe state in fatigue cumulative damage. Analysis results show that the remaining life of a jib upper beam would be about 10 years therefore, the level luffing crane should be stable for fatigue for that period.

공항 콘크리트 포장은 설계기준을 역순으로 하거나, FWD 장비로부터 얻어진 탄성 계수를 근거로 포장체의 잔존수명을 추정하여 왔었다. 그러나 FWD로부터 얻어진 탄성계수 값은 역산 방법에 따라 변동성이 심하므로 잔존수명의 일관성이 결여된 한계가 있다. 또한 구조적 측면만 고려하여 포장의 상태를 평가하므로. 기능적 측면을 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공항 콘크리트 포장의 잔존수명 산출에 있어서 구조적 측면 및 기능적 측면 모두를 고려하는 논리를 제시하였으며, 각 논리별 세부 절차별에 있어서의 기준 및 모델 적용을 제안하였다 구조적 잔존수명 추정 논리를 개선하기 위해 오래된 공항을 대상으로 하여 하중을 받은 구간과 받지 않은 구간에서의 잔존수명 추정 인자 선정을 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 기존에 주로 사용되어 왔던 탄성계수보다는 하중전달효율이 잔존수명 추정 인자로 규명되었다. 새롭게 개발한 잔존수명 추정 논리 및 세부 모형들의 현장 적용성을 파악하기 위하며 오래된 공항 한 개소를 선정하였다. 새로운 논리에 따라 현장 실험 및 분석을 수행한 결과 실무에 적용하는데 무리가 없음을 알 수 있었다.

OBJECTIVES : The objective of this research is to determine the integrity of pavement structures for areas where voids exist. Furthermore, we conducted the study of voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction for pavement structures using finite element method. METHODS : To determine the remaining life of the existing voided areas under asphalt concrete pavements, field and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests were conducted. Comparison methods were used to have better accuracy in the finite element method (FEM) analysis compared to the measured surface displacements due to the loaded trucks. In addition, the modeled FEM used in this study was compared with well-known software programs. RESULTS : The results show that a good agreement on the analyzed and measured displacements can be obtained through comparisons of the surface displacement due to loaded trucks. Furthermore, the modeled FEM program was compared with the available pavement-structure software programs, resulting in the same values of tensile strains in terms of the thickness of asphalt concrete layers. CONCLUSIONS : The study, which is related to voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction using FEM for pavement structures, was successfully conducted based on the comparison between our methods and the sinkhole grade used in Japan.

고속도로 건설은 미국을 포함한 여러 국가에서 거의 완료되었으며 정부나 고속도로 관계기관은 유지관리쪽에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 교량을 효과적으로 유지관리 하기 위해 교량의 실제 내하력과 잔존수명을 예측하는 것은 매우 시급하다. 이러한 목적으로서 시간에 대한 시스템 신뢰성 해석이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 Lifetime 분포(함수)를 이용해서 교량의 잔존수명을 예측하기 위한 전형적인 교량의 모델링기법을 개발하였다. Lifetime의 함수변수를 생성하기 위해서 몬테칼로법을 이용하였다. 결과는 지금 존재하는 교량에 대해 최적의 유지관리 계획에 이용될 수 있다.

Fatigue crack growth model has been developed for dissimilar metal weld joints of a piping component under cyclic loading, where in the crack is located at the center of the weld in the circumferential direction. The fracture parameter, Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) has been computed by using principle of superposition as K_H + K_M. K_H is evaluated by assuming that, the complete specimen is made of the material containing the notch location. In second stage, the stress field ahead of the crack tip, accounting for the strength mismatch, the applied load and geometry has been characterized to evaluate SIF (K_M). For each incremental crack depth, stress field ahead of the crack tip has been quantified by using J-integral (elastic), mismatch ratio, plastic interaction factor and stress parallel to the crack surface. The associated constants for evaluation of K_M have been computed by using the quantified stress field with respect to the distance from the crack tip. Net SIF (K_H + K_M) computed, has been used for the crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction by Paris crack growth model. To validate the model, SIF and remaining life has been predicted for a pipe made up of (i) SA312 Type 304LN austenitic stainless steel and SA508 Gr. 3 Cl. 1. Low alloy carbon steel (ii) welded SA312 Type 304LN austenitic stainless-steel pipe. From the studies, it is observed that the model could predict the remaining life of DMWJ piping components with a maximum difference of 15% compared to experimental observations.

Using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), a semi-analytical solution is employed to analyze creep damage and remaining life assessment of 304L austenitic stainless steel thick (304L ASS) cylindrical pressure vessels with variable thickness subjected to the temperature gradient and internal non-uniform pressure. Damages are obtained in thick cylinder using Robinson's linear life fraction damage rule, and time to rupture and remaining life assessment is determined by Larson-Miller Parameter (LMP). The thermo-elastic creep response of the material is described by Norton's law. The novelty of the present work is that it seeks to investigate creep damage and life assessment of the vessels with variable thickness made of 304L ASS using LMP based on first-order shear deformation theory. A numerical solution using finite element method (FEM) is also presented and good agreement is found. It is shown that temperature gradient and non-uniform pressure have significant influences on the creep damages and remaining life of the vessel.

The Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) is an equipment that unloads freight from the ship docked in the port to the land. And the design target life time is designed to be 30 to 50 years, and it is classified as a semi-permanent large facility. However, cracks may occur due to structural defects, abnormal loads, and corrosion, and fatigue failure may occur before the design life is reached. In this study, we predicted the remaining life time of the main component of the CSU considering crack. And also proposed inspection cycle for maintenance of CSU based on the results of the remaining life time prediction. For this purpose, the structure, operational stresses of the CSU were analyzed and main members were selected. And tensile tests and fatigue crack propagation tests were performed with SM490YA and SM570TMC, which are used as main materials for CSU.

This paper includes that there is the way to make the prediction of the remaining life of the barrel in small arms using analyzing dispersion. There are some ways to know the period to change the barrel such as the method of detecting the inner surface directly or inspecting the scratch using the optical sensor. However, it is a more easy way to check the dispersion for soldiers and the directors in a logistics command. Therefore, this study is conducted to focusing on the relation between firing round and dispersion. And the simple equation experimentally derives from pre-tests and analyses. Also, this equation is confirmed through the firing tests during the period of developing K11. In that sense, it can be easily applied to know the period of changing the barrel of small arms in the field army.
