This paper presents the fatigue life of transverse joint of concrete pavement with the fatigue model test. A 1/12 scale model was used to satisfy the geometric load, material similitude, which are variables to the skew angel of transverse joint. From the test results by fatigue load 700kgf applied, we can have that the fatigue life of transverse joint with skew angle is better than that of transverse joint without skew angle. In addition, we can have that the fatigue life of skewed transverse joint with angle of 10 degree is better than that of skewed transverse joint with angle of 20 degree.

Unlike metallic materials, the importance of fatigue performance of concrete has been ignored. However, it is reported that environmental effects, if it cause deterioration, may increase the risk of fatigue failure under repeated loadings. In case of railroad bridges, the risk may increase due to highly periodic, repetitive, heavier nature of train load, which runs through the fixed passage called the track. Especially, when new material or structure is implemented for a main bridge member, experimental validation should be performed to avoid damage or failure due to unexpected behavior. In this paper, the fatigue performance of an IT girder is examined via a repeated loading test. The IT girder is a new type of a prestressed concrete (PSC) girder with two prestressed H-beams in the top of the girder, which provide additional sectional capacity, and it can be applied to the span longer than 30m which is a typical limit for a usual PSC girder. To obtain the fatigue performance, a 10m IT girder specimen is designed, and a repeated load test is performed by applying the cyclic load two million times. The fatigue performance of the girder is examined according to the Japanese and the CEB-FIB design codes. The fatigue test result shows that the IT girder satisfies both design codes.

In this paper, static and fatigue load tests for the specimens, components and carbody were carried out to investigate the strength of welded joints in aluminum rolling stock. Tensile test results showed that the static strength of welded joint for the heat-treated alloy is reduced significantly and fatigue strength data are scattered by the welding imperfections. Component and whole carbody fatigue test results showed agreements with the design fatigue strength standards for specimens of the same joint detail. Test results revealed that full penetration welding and strict management of welding procedure are crucial for securing the strength of welded joint in aluminum carbody.

The stress state acting on mechanical parts and structures is generally mixed stress. This complex stress state, which is subject to changes in the environment, will produce many. Cars running on roads with different road conditions will subject the automotive parts to combined stress state. In the x direction and the y direction, a different amplitude and frequency of the fatigue load can be present. However, the load amplitude for Mode I and Mode II in a 2-axis fatigue test is limited to a constant ratio; the load frequency is always the same for any mode. In this paper, it is verified how the variation of the load frequency for mode II affects the behavior of fatigue crack propagation under mixed mode.

For checking fatigue safety and endurance of precast concrete deck and loop joint system in the steel plate girder composite bridge, the test composite bridge model was made for the fatigue experiment by the wheel load machine. The fatigue tests of 1,000,000 cycles were implemented according to wheel load condition of DB24 rear axle of Korea Highway Design Code. From the test results, the loop joint system for the precast deck has a sufficient flexural capacity. Although a little lower longitudinal continuity capacity is evaluated than general sound cast-in-place RC bridge deck, there is no problem about the safety. The overall fatigue level of safety defined by the code is satisfied.

Gears are the most commonly used parts in automotive and industrial applications. One of most common modes of gear failures is tooth breakage, which is usually produced by the bending fatigue failure. It is important to manufacture the gears which can withstand the applied stresses in view of safety and economic requirement. This paper deals with bending fatigue strength for cold forged bevel gear. Especially, to compare fatigue characteristics for manufacturing processes difference, bending fatigue tests of bevel gears made by three different processes respectively. Results indicate that the fatigue strength of bevel gear is improved by cold forging process. Intergranular fracture is found on fatigue fracture surface, and dimples are observed on final fracture surface. The fatigue failure cannot be considered as a deterministic quantity, but must be characterized statistically. This study proposes a method to estimate bending fatigue lift of the bevel gear using the probability-load-life and Weibull analysis.

This study was performed to develop accelerated life test method of the wind-turbine gearbox using accumulated damage theory that used to model the fatigue of parts that receive variable load. The accumulated damage theory was introduced, and the estimation of life and calculation of accelerated life test time was illustrated. As the actual application example, accelerated life test method of the gearbox was described. Life distribution of the wind-turbine gearbox was supposed to follow Weibull distribution and life test time was calculated under the conditions of average life (MTBF) 140,600 hours and 99% reliability for one test sample According to the accumulated damage theory, because test time can shorten in case increase test load, test time could be reduced by 1.2 years when we put the load 1.2 times of rated load than 0.93 times of rated load that is equivalent load calculated by load spectrum of the wind turbine. This time, acceleration coefficient was 21.3. This accelerated test method was used to develop accelerated test method of gear reducer, gear and bearing as well as the industrial gearbox and it is considered to be applied comprehensively to mechanical parts the fatigue of which is happened by load or pressure etc.

In this paper, the tension-compression fatigue test method and the fatigue life characteristics of carbon fabric/epoxy laminate coupon are presented. To avoid the buckling during the compression, a proper design for the test coupons is essential. The critical buckling loads for the coupons are calculated by assuming the coupons as columns under two types of fixed conditions. The first is that both ends of each coupon are perfectly clamped, the second is that both ends of each coupon are simply supported. The strain-load curves are obtained by compressing the representative coupons, on each surface of which a strain gage is attached. The buckling loads obtained from the tests are all between the two calculated critical buckling loads. All the coupons are broken by the compression during the fatigue tests. It is estimated to be the reason that the fatigue load causes delamination before the eventual failure of each coupon, and sequentially the micro-buckling in the delaminated region drives each coupon into fatigue failure during the compression. The S-N curve, the fatigue life characteristics of carbon fabric/epoxy is obtained.

In this study the experimental results of fatigue specimen for the Strand Stay Cable Assembly of Extadosed bridges is investigated. The fatigue test and tensile experiment is conducted to 6 kinds of specimens. Test specimen OVM250-31 Strand Cable System manufactured by china OVM B-Machinery Co., Ltd, and OVM250-42 Parallel Strand Stay Cable Assembly manufactured by china OVM B-Machinery Co., Ltd, are passed for fatigue test and rupture tensile test. But Test specimen OVM250-42 Parallel Strand Stay Cable Assembly manufactured by korean A-Machinery Co., Ltd, is not passed for fatigue test conducted according to the "Recommendation for Stay Cable Design. The test result are compared to the fatigue criteria of PHI 2001 for cyclic load, and it is concluded that the current korean design code will be needed for representing the fatigue load in Hot Dip Galvanized Strand Stay Cable. It is verified that the new korean specification and quality criteria of Strand Stay Cable and exact experimental applied process will be needed.
