It depends on the joint configuration, dimensions and constraints of the joint whether the residual stress at the root of single-sided butt weld is tensile or not. Therefore, recommendation is generally made that high R ratio should be used in the fatigue test of welded joint in order to prevent excessively long life caused by compressive residual stress. In this research, the residual stress profile in butt weld joint was obtained through compliance method, using successive extension of a slot and measurement of the variation of strain during the slot extension. The residual stress profile was firstly assumed to be the linear summation of Legendre polynomials up to 9th order excluding 0th and 1st order. Strain variation on the surface was measured while the slot was being extended by cutting to find out the 8 unknown coefficients of each polynomial term. The cut was made by the electric discharge machine. It was concluded that the residual stress near the surface is positive valued, however, it turned into the negative value as soon as it passed through 2 or 3 mm of the depth.

The residual safety assessment of steel structures, an important subject in practice, is given to much attention. Life prediction in the planning course of steel structures under fatigue loading is mainly based on fatigue design criteria resulting from S-N curves. But for any reason cracks have to be assumed due to fabrication failures or fatigue loading in service which can lead total fracture of structures. The life prediction can be carried out by means of fracture mechanics using Paris-Erdogan equation($da/dN=C {\cdot}{\Delta}K^m$). The paper presents results from charpy test to interpret transition behaviour of charpy energy($A_V$) in a wide temperature range and from constant-load-amplitude test to measure fatigue crack growth of various steels widely used in steel bridges since beginning of 20 centuries in Europe. In the normal service temperature range of steel bridges, the steel S355M shows higher maximum charpy energy($A_{Vmax}$) and lower transition temperature($T_{AVmax/2}$) than other steels considered. The C and m of Paris-Erdogan equation on the steels appear to be correlated, and to be affected by the R-ratios due to crack closure, especially at a low fatigue crack growth rate. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was carried out to interpret an influence of the crack closure effects on the correlation of C and m.

Induction surface hardening is widely used to enhance local strength and hardness. However, most research is only to have a focus on fatigue life and fatigue behavior is not so much studied. So, in this study, Cr-Mo steel alloy(SCM440) was used to show the effect of residual stress and micro hole on the fatigue strength fur base metal and induction surface hardened specimen. In addition, the fatigue characteristic between surface hardened and fully hardened steel is somewhat different. It is caused by hardness distribution, residual stress and inclusions etc.. The modification of prediction equation of fatigue strength is proposed and predicted results show very good accuracy. A $textsc{k}$, which is calculated 1.46, is introduced to consider the effect of stationary crack with defect. A new method of modifying residual stress is proposed to examine the mean stress effect under fatigue loading.

Shot peening is widely used to improve the fatigue life and strength of various mechanical parts and an accurate method is important for the prediction of the compressive residual stress caused by this process. A finite element (FE) model with an elliptical multi-shot is suggested for random-angled impacts. Solutions for compressive residual stress using this model and a normal random vertical-impact one with a spherical multi-shot are obtained and compared. The elliptical multi-shot experimental solution is closer to an X-ray diffraction (XRD) than the spherical one. The FE model's peening coverage also almost reaches the experimental one. The effectiveness of the model based on an elliptical shot ball is confirmed by these results and it can be used instead of previous FE models to evaluate the compressive residual stress produced on the surface of metal by shot peening in various industries.

노후항공기의 균열보수 방법 중 복합재를 이용한 균열보수 방법을 이용하여 항공기 알루미늄 재료의 피로수명 예측을 위해 유한요소해석을 이용 하였다. 패치보수의 해석 시에는 접착제 층이 매우 얇기 때문에 모델링의 어려움이 있는데, 본 연구에서는 3층 기법을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 피로수명의 예측 시에는 Paris의 법칙을 적용하였고, 효율적 수명예측을 위해 수정된 균열닫힘법을 적용하였다. 해석에 의한 수명예측 결과는 실험치를 잘 모사할 수 있었으며, 항공기의 피로수명 예측이나 수명연장기법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

With the aim to evaluate the fatigue damage accumulation and predict the residual life of engineering components under variable amplitude loadings, this paper proposed a new strain energy-based damage accumulation model by considering both effects of mean stress and load interaction on fatigue life in a low cycle fatigue (LCF) regime. Moreover, an integrated procedure is elaborated for facilitating its application based on S-N curve and loading conditions. Eight experimental datasets of aluminum alloys and steels are utilized for model validation and comparison. Through comparing experimental results with model predictions by the proposed, Miner's rule, damaged stress model (DSM) and damaged energy model (DEM), results show that the proposed one provides more accurate predictions than others, which can be extended for further application under multi-level stress loadings.

노후화된 구조물의 경우 준공 후 시간이 지나 구조물의 정보가 유실되는 경우가 많으며, 시공관련 자료에 대한 정보 부족으로 인해 구조물의 잔존수명을 예측하는데 큰 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장에서 채취한 코어 시험체를 기반으로 각종 현장 및 실내시험법을 통한 내구성을 평가하고 이를 토대로 FEM 해석기법을 활용하여 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 예측하였다. 그 결과, 중성화 속도계수는 $5.38E-6(cm^2/day)$로 매우 진행 속도가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 탄산화 및 염해에 의한 복합열화의 발생 가능성은 매우 낮은 것으로 확인되었다

Lithium-ion batteries are the heart of energy-storing devices and electric vehicles. Owing to their superior qualities, such as high capacity and energy efficiency, they have become quite popular, resulting in an increased demand for failure/damage prevention and useable life maximization. To prevent failure in Lithium-ion batteries, improve their reliability, and ensure productivity, prognosticative measures such as condition monitoring through sensors, condition assessment for failure detection, and remaining useful life prediction through data-driven prognostics and health management approaches have become important topics for research. In this study, the residual useful life of Lithium-ion batteries was predicted using two efficient artificial recurrent neural networks-ong short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). The proposed approaches were compared for prognostics accuracy and cost-efficiency. It was determined that LSTM showed slightly higher accuracy, whereas GRUs have a computational advantage.

외경에 홈이 존재하는 자긴가공된 압력용기의 피로 파손은 외경 홈에서의 피로균열 발생과 전파에 의해 발생한다. 자긴가공된 압력용기의 피로수명을 예측하기 위하여 유한요소법을 이용하여 자긴가공에 의한 잔류응력해석을 수행하였으며, 피로시험을 통하여 재료의 피로특성을 구하였다. 압력용기의 수명은 압력용기 외경 홈 모서리에서 응력 및 변형률 집중에 의한 피로균열의 생성수명과 전파수명의 합으로 총 수명이 계산되었다. 본 연구에서 80 % 자긴도의 압력용기가 424 MPa의 반복적인 내압을 받을 때 압력용기의 수명은 2,598 사이클로 예측되었다.
