Fatigue, the birth and growth of cracks in metal parts subjected to repeated loading, has been a problem plaguing engineers since the Industrial Revolution and the advent of rotating or reciprocating machinery. Designing against metal fatigue was studied briefly in several aspects. Examples of fatigue failures were shown. Fatigue was classified by loading: uniaxial Fatigue, multiaxial fatigue, cumulative fatigue da¬mage. Fatigue design criteria were discussed: Infinite-Life Design, Safe-Life Design, Fail-Safe Design, and Damage Tolerant Design. Mitigation of notch effects by design, improvement of fatigue strength of metal parts by residual stress and surface finishing were discussed. Relative fatigue beha¬vior was studied under various environmantal conditions. Especially the effects of corrosion, temperature, fretting, and irradiation were covered.

Due to the occasional occurrences of stress corrosion cracking(SCC) in steam generator tubing(Alloy 600), degraded tubes are removed from service by plugging or are repaired for re-use. Since electrodeposition inside a tube does not entail parent tube deformation, residual stress in the tube can be minimized. In this work, tube restoration via electrodeposition inside a steam generator tubing was performed after developing the following: an anode probe to be installed inside a tube, a degreasing condition to remove dirt and grease, an activation condition for surface oxide elimination, a tightly adhered strike layer forming condition between the electro forming layer and the Alloy 600 tube, and the condition for an electroforming layer. The reliability of the electrodeposited material, with a variation of material properties, was evaluated as a function of the electrodeposit position in the vertical direction of a tube using the developed anode. It has been noted that the variation of the material properties along the electrodeposit length was acceptable in a process margin. To improve the reliability of a material property, the causes of the variation occurrence were presumed, and an attempt to minimize the variation has been made. A Ni alloy electrodeposition process is suggested as a primary water stress corrosion cracking(PWSCC) mitigation method for various components, including steam generator tubes. The Ni alloy electrodeposit formed inside a tube by using the installed assembly shows proper material properties as well as an excellent SCC resistance.

The skin friction of a pile foundation is important and essential for its design and analysis. More attention has been given to the softening behaviour of skin friction of a pile. In this study, to investigate the load-transfer mechanism in such a case, an analytical solution using a nonlinear softening model was derived. Subsequently, a load test on the pile was performed to verify the newly developed analytical solution. The comparison between the analytical solution and test results showed a good agreement in terms of the axial force of the pile and the stress-strain relationship of the pile-soil interface. The softening behaviour of the skin friction can be simulated well when the pile is subjected to large loads; however, such behaviour is generally ignored by most existing analytical solutions. Finally, the effects of the initial shear modulus and the ratio of the residual skin friction to peak skin friction on the load-settlement curve of a pile were investigated by a parametric analysis.

The researches related to active control systems utilizing superelastic shape memory alloys (SMA) have been recently conducted to reduce critical damage due to lateral deformation after severe earthquakes. Although Superelastic SMAs undergo considerable inelastic deformation, they can return to original conditions without heat treatment only after stress removal. We can expect the mitigation of residual deformation owing to inherent recentering characteristics when these smart materials are installed at the part where large deformation is likely to occur. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to develop concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with superelastic SMA bracing systems and to evaluate the seismic performance of such frame structures. In order to investigate the inter-story drift response of CBF structures, 3- and 6-story buildings were design according to current design specifications, and then nonlinear time-history analyses were performed on numerical 2D frame models. Based on the numerical analysis results, it can be comparatively verified that the CBFs with superelastic SMA bracing systems have more structural advantages in terms of energy dissipation and recentering behavior than those with conventional steel bracing systems.

일반적으로 연속경간을 가지는 강합성 I-형강 교량에 있어서 내부 지점 부근에서 상대적으로 큰 부모멘트가 발생하므로, 이에 경제적인 단면 활용을 위하여 변단면을 적용하여 휨강도를 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기존 횡-비틀림 좌굴식에 관한 연구를 토대로 하여 비탄성 구간에 있는 계단식 I형보의 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도를 유한요소해석프로그램 ABAQUS(2007)를 이용하여 산정하고, 간편한 설계식을 제안하고 있다. 양단 및 일단 계단식 단면변화를 가지는 보에 대해서 고려하였으며, 플랜지 길이방향 비, 너비방향 비, 두께의 비로 계단식 I형보를 나타내었다. 해석에 사용된 단면매개변수는 각각 27가지 및 36가지 조합이며, 비탄성 횡-비틀림 거동을 고려하기위하여 잔류응력 및 초기결함을 고려한 비선형해석을 실시하였는데, Pi와 Trahair(1995)가 고려한 잔류응력의 형상과 국내 I형강 표준 치수 허용치에 근거하여 부재 길이의 0.1%를 초기제작오차로 고려하였다. 해석모델의 양쪽 끝단에는 모멘트하중을 재하하였다. 개발 제한된 식은 선형 모멘트 하중이 작용할 때 적용가능한 식으로 경제적이고 합리적인 설계에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 다양한 하중을 받는 계단식 단면 변화보의 비탄성 좌굴강도 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 등분포하중과 양끝단에 모멘트가 작용하는 계단식 변단면보(스텝보)의 비선형 횡-비틀림 좌굴에 대해 연구이다. 3차원 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS(2007)와 회귀분석 프로그램 MINITAB(2006)이 단순보 경계조건을 가지고 있는 일단 또는 양단 변단면보의 설계 좌굴강도 산정식 개발에 적용되었다. 해석모델의 비지지길이 내 중앙부분의 플랜지는 폭 30.48cm, 두께 2.54cm로 고정되었으며, 양단 또는 일단 플랜지의 크기는 해석매개변수로 고려되었다. 양단 스텝보는 플랜지 해석매개변수를 고려하여 27개, 일단 스텝보는 36개의 해석모델이 하나의 하중조건에 적용되었다. 본 연구는 잔류응력과 초기변형을 고려하여 비탄성 구간 내 3가지 비지지길이와 5가지 하중조건이 고려된 총 945개의 해석모델을 고려하였다. 잔류응력의 분포는 Pi와 Trahair(1995)가 적용한 분포도를 사용하였으며, 초기변형은 현대제철의 제작기준인 형강길이의 0.1%조건을 적용하였다. 본 논문에 제안된 식과 유한요소해석결과를 비교분석한 결과 양단 스텝보에서는 최대 13%, 일단 스텝보에서는 최대 10%의 차이를 보이고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 식은 경제적이고 합리적인 설계에 적극활용 가능하며, 변단면 부재의 비탄성 좌굴강도 연구에 크게 기여할 것이다.
