Surface hardening treatments, such as using the high-frequency induction hardening method, are widely used to increase the fatigue life and prevent the failure of materials by locally increasing the surface hardness. This method, in particular, brings an improvement in static strength by compressive residual surface stress due to the hardening. In this study, the mechanical properties of high-frequency induction hardened SCM440 steel were investigated. These results were also compared with those for base metal and a Q/T (tempering after quenching) treatment specimen. The test results showed that partially high-frequency induction hardened SCM440 steel specimens were more improved in static strength, surface hardness, fatigue limit, and anti-wear than the base metal and Q/T treatment specimens. In particular, the fatigue limit of the high-frequency induction hardened SCM440 steel increased by more than about 52% compared to that of base metal and by about 25% compared to that of the Q/T specimen.

Tensile and low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests on prior cold worked 316L stainless steel were carried out at various temperatures from room temperature to 650$^{\circ}C$. At all test temperatures, cold worked material showed the tendency of higher strength and lower ductility compared with those of solution treated material. The embrittlement of material occurred in the temperature region from 300$^{\circ}C$ to 600$^{\circ}C$ due to dynamic strain aging. Following initial cyclic hardening for a few cycles, cycling softening was observed to dominate until failure occurred during LCF deformation, and the cyclic softening behavior strongly depended on temperature and strain amplitude. Non-Masing behavior was observed at all test temperatures and hysteresis energy curve method was employed to describe the stress-strain hysteresis loops at half$.$life. The prediction shows a good agreement with the experimental results.

Recently, to reduce the noise and vibration levels of ships, high skewed marine propellers with thinner thickness are adopted widely, however, such propeller design trend causes to reduce the strength of blades. Propeller blades are rotating continuously in irregular wake field of ships. So, it is necessary to examine the strength of them precisely including from a viewpoint of fatigue strength. In present paper, the fatigue strength of propeller blades was investigated. Firstly, fatigue tests for Al Bronze, the representative propeller material, were carried out. The S-N curve was obtained for the assessment of the fatigue crack initiation life. And the material properties C, m for the fatigue crack propagation analysis based on the Paris' equation were derived. For the 2nd stage, the structural responses of propeller blades in irregular ship wake field was carried out using the finite element analysis code. And the fatigue strength of propeller blades were considered based on the calculated stress levels and material characteristics for fatigue strength.

공용하중으로 인하여 초기 균열을 가지고 있는 연속철근콘크리트 포장체를 제작하여 피로시험을 실시하였다. 초기 균열의 영향을 검토하고자 4개의 시험체가 제작되었으며 시험체의 길이 및 축소비율을 유한요소해석 및 재료특성을 고려하여 결정하였다 피로시험에 앞서서 정적시험을 실시하여 정적파괴하중을 확인하고 균열발생 진행상황을 조사하였다. 피로시험 결과로부터 초기발생균열의 간격이 증가할수록 피로수명이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내고속도로에 건설된 연속철근콘크리트 포장의 유지보수에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In practical fields, the sway of crane systems leads to extra stress to the crane structure during the transporting operation and it is in close connection with its life. Usually, when we operate the cranes with high speed and manual control, the sway motion is irreducible. In this paper, a new type of crane system is proposed to avoid the irreducible sway of the crane systems. The proposed system is composed of mechanical arm with function of anti-sway based on conventional line system. By the anti-sway arm, we can realize to prevent the sway of the container box but cannot avoid the oscillation for the overall body of the crane. So, a controller design method to solve the above stated problem must be considered. The problem is solved by adopting the velocity pattern control methods of trapezoidal and curve types and its effectiveness is proved through experimental results.

기존의 기계적인 센서들보다 높은 민감도와 선형성을 가지는 반도체 센서들은 크기가 작고 일괄공정에 의해 제작될 수 있는 반도체 공정 기술로 제작되므로 다양한 산업에서 적용되고 있다. 하지만 열과 반복적인 외부 하중은 센서의 수명에 치명적인 영향을 미치고 있고, 특히 외부에서 가해지는 열은 센서를 구성하는 구조물보다 신호를 전달하는 배선의 피로 수명에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있으므로 이에 대한 영향성을 분석할 수 있는 프로세스를 확립하고, 이후 다양한 재료의 반복적인 열하중에 대한 피로 수명을 평가하여 사용 온도에 대한 적절한 재료를 선정할 수 있는 자료를 제시하고자 하였다.

Fatigue cracks of rib-to-deck (RD) joints have been frequently observed in the orthotropic steel decks (OSD) using conventional U-ribs (CU). Thickened edge U-rib (TEU) is proposed to enhance the fatigue strength of RD joints, and its effectiveness has been proved through fatigue tests. In-depth full-scale tests are further carried out to investigate both the fatigue strength and fractography of RD joints. Based on the test result, the mean fatigue strength of TEU specimens is 21% and 17% higher than that of CU specimens in terms of nominal and hot spot stress, respectively. Meanwhile, the development of fatigue cracks has been measured using the strain gauges installed along the welded joint. It is found that such the crack remains almost in semi-elliptical shape during the initiation and propagation. For the further application of TEUs, the design curve under the specific survival rate is required for the RD joints using TEUs. Since the fatigue strength of welded joints is highly scattered, the design curves derived by using the limited test data only are not reliable enough to be used as the reference. On this ground, an experiment-numerical hybrid approach is employed. Basing on the fatigue test, a probabilistic assessment model has been established to predict the fatigue strength of RD joints. In the model, the randomness in material properties, initial flaws and local geometries has been taken into consideration. The multiple-site initiation and coalescence of fatigue cracks are also considered to improve the accuracy. Validation of the model has been rigorously conducted using the test data. By extending the validated model, large-scale databases of fatigue life could be generated in a short period. Through the regression analysis on the generated database, design curves of the RD joint have been derived under the 95% survival rate. As the result, FAT 85 and FAT 110 curves with the power index m of 2.89 are recommended in the fatigue evaluation on the RD joint using TEUs in terms of nominal stress and hot spot stress respectively. Meanwhile, FAT 70 and FAT 90 curves with m of 2.92 are suggested in the evaluation on the RD joint using CUs in terms of nominal stress and hot spot stress, respectively.

In this study, we apply an ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique to radial journal bearings (JBs) and disks made of SUJ2 and SCM440, respectively. We investigate frictional properties of untreated and UNSM-treated specimens using a ball-on-disk tester. We construct the Stribeck curve at the boundary, under mixed and full hydrodynamic lubrication conditions for the specimens using friction data obtained from JB tests. The friction at the boundary lubrication condition and the transition period to mixed lubrication condition on the UNSM-treated specimens is reduced, which improves the service life of JBs. The major effects of this reduction in the three lubrication regimes can be explained in the terms of improved mechanical properties and the presence of micro dimples. Moreover, we estimate the friction and fatigue properties of SCM440 specimens using a ball-on-disk specimen under dry and oil-lubricated conditions. Friction test results reveal that the UNSM-treated specimens show lower friction coefficient than the untreated specimens under both dry and oil-lubricated conditions. We evaluate the fatigue properties of SCM440 specimens by calculating the Hertzian stress with respect to the failure cycles. Fatigue tests results also reveal that the UNSM-treated specimens possess a longer fatigue life than the untreated specimens. The improved properties are effective in increasing the energy efficiency of bearings.

초기 설계조건이 반영된 연속철근 콘크리트 포장의 피로수명을 규명하고자 시험체를 제작하여 피로시험을 실시하였다. 유한요소해석 결과분석과 사용되는 재료의 특성을 고려하여 축소된 8개의 시험체를 제작하였다. 피로시험에 앞서서 정적파괴하중 결정과 균열발생 및 진전 상황을 추정하고자 정적하중재하 시험이 실시되었다. 피로시험 결과로부터 초기발생균열의 간격이 증가할수록 피로수명이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 콘크리트 슬래브 표면 가까이에 철근을 배근한 시험체가 슬래브 중앙에 철근을 배근한 시험체 보다 우수한 피로수명을 나타내었다. 또한, 지반조건의 변화가 균열발생 및 피로수명에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내 고속도로에 건설된 연속철근 콘크리트 포장의 유지보수에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
