In this study, contact fatigue in wheel-rail contact is simulated. It is necessary to calculate contact stress and subsurface stresses accurately to predict fatigue behavior. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of semi-infinite solid based on influence function and subsurface stress field obtained by using rectangular patch solutions. Based on these stress values, several multiaxial high-cycle fatigue criteria are used and the critical loads corresponding to fatigue limits are calculated. The simulation results show that the critical load is decreasing rapidly and the site of crack initiation also moves rapidly to the surface from the subsurface when friction coefficient exceeds a specific value for all of three fatigue criteria.

A full-bead of multi-layer-steel engine head gasket, taking charge of the dynamic sealing of combustion chamber, is susceptible to fatigue failure. The fatigue durability of full-bead was assessed with the finite element analysis results and the high-cycle multi-axial fatigue theory. The assessment aimed to reveal the effects of the forming parameters and dimensions of full-bead. The results show that the selection of embossing parameters producing less deformation of bead plate is beneficial for the improvement of durability while the flatting has marginal influence. The fatigue durability also improves with the increase in the width of full-bead and the radial length of bore-side flat region. However, the dimensional effects are limited due to the occurrence of snap-through.

Finite element analyses have been performed for the purpose of obtaining the robust and reliable design of engine cylinder block. Fatigue under high cycle operating loads is a primary concern and is evaluated by a probabilistic method. The robust and reliable design by a probabilistic method can provide satisfactory design conditions for the performance of the system under the influence of noise factors. Therefore, the design by this method will be desensitized to the uncontrollable noise factors. The simple methodology evaluates the distortion of main bore is proposed for the purpose of maintaining a well-controlled clearance between the crankshaft and main bores. The proposed methodology has proven a capability of predicting the distortion of the main bore under assembly, thermal, and firing loads. The calculated results are correlated well with the experimental ones.

The application of the induction bending process to pipe systems in various industrial fields is increasing. Recently, efforts have also been made to apply this bending process to nuclear power plants because it can innovatively reduce welded parts of the curved pipes, such as elbows. However, there have been no cases of the application of induction bending to the piping of nuclear power plants. In this study, the applicability of the P91 induction bending piping for the sodium-cooled fast reactor PGSFR was validated through high temperature low cycle fatigue tests and creep tests using P91 induction bending pipe specimens. The tests confirmed that the materials sufficiently satisfied the fatigue life and the creep rupture life requirements for P91 steel at 550 ℃ in the ASME B&PV Code, Sec. III, Div. 5. The results show that the effects of heating and bending by the induction bending process on the material properties were not significant and the induction bending process could be applicable to piping system of PGSFR well.

The demand for high-strength steel is rising due to its economic efficiency. Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests have been conducted to investigate the nonlinear behaviors of high-strength steel. Accurate material models must be used to obtain reliable results on seismic performance evaluation using numerical analyses. This study uses the combined hardening model to simulate the LCF behavior of high-strength steel. However, it is challenging and complex to determine material model parameters for specific high-strength steel because a highly nonlinear equation is used in the model, and several parameters need to be resolved. This study used the particle swarm algorithm (PSO) to determine the model parameters based on the LCF test data of HSA 650 steel. It is shown that the model with parameter values selected from the PSO accurately simulates the measured LCF curves.

Wind-induced failure around screwed connections has been documented in roof and wall cladding systems made with steel sheet cold-formed panels during high wind events. Previous research has found that low cycle fatigue caused by stress concentration and fluctuating wind loads is responsible for most such failures. A dynamic load protocol was employed in this work to represent fatigue under wind effects. A finite element model and fatigue criteria were implemented and compared with laboratory experiments in order to predict the fatigue failure associated with fluctuating wind loads. Results are used to develop an analytical model which can be employed for the fatigue analysis of steel cold-formed cladding systems. Existing three dimensional fatigue criteria are implemented and correlated with fatigue damage observed on steel claddings. Parametric studies are used to formulate suitable yet simple fatigue criteria. Fatigue failure is predicted in different configurations of loads, types of connections, and thicknesses of steel folded plate cladding. The analytical model, which correlated with experimental results reported in a companion paper, was validated for the fatigue life prediction and failure mechanism of different connection types and thicknesses of cold-formed steel cladding.

재사용 발사체용으로 개발되는 엔진은 반복 사용 조건에 따른 저사이클 열피로 문제를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구는 연소기 재생냉각채널에 사용되는 구리합금의 피로수명을 인장시험 데이터로부터 예측하기 위하여 기존의 연구자들이 제안하였던 수명예측식을 다양한 종류의 구리합금의 경우에 적용하여 비교하였다. 제안된 수명예측식 중 공통경사법은 구리합금의 수명 예측에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보여 주었으며, 수정 Mitchell 방법은 OFHC 구리의 수명 예측에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보여주었다.

The method for fatigue life prediction of ball bearing is proposed applying the algorithm of contact fatigue prediction based on stress analysis. In order to do this, a series of simulation such as initial surface stress analysis, EHL analysis, subsurface stress analysis and fatigue analysis are conducted from the loading at each ball location calculated for a bearing subjected to external bearing load and contact shape function. And uniaxial fatigue tests are performed to obtain fatigue parameter of AISI 52100 steel. It was found that since stress is usually higher at the inner raceway contact than at the outer raceway contact, fatigue failure occurs on the inner raceway first. When the fatigue life calculated in the stress-based method are compared with $L_{50}$ life of L-P model, Crossland criterion for the radial load increment is similar to $L_{50}$ life and Dang Van criterion for the axial load increment is similar. In the case of EHL contact. there is no difference of fatigue life between dry contact and EHL contact, when maximum Hertz pressure exceeds 2.5GPa.

항공기 및 엔진의 성능 극대화와 운용 유지비 최소화로 인하여 고압터빈 구성품은 점점 더 가혹한 환경에서 장시간 운용을 요구 받고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 냉각 극대화, 재료의 고급화, 코팅 기술 적용 등과 함께 재료 모델링, 유한요소해석, 통계적 기법 등의 수치적 해석 방법이 광범위하게 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일방향 응고 재료의 1 단 고압터빈 노즐의 운용 환경인 터빈 노즐 입구온도분포와 장착조건의 변화에 따른 노즐의 구조 건전성을 저주기 피로 수명을 통해 평가하고 가장 유리한 조건을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 냉각 설계에 의한 노즐의 금속 온도 분포는 복합 열전달 해석을 통해 얻으며, 이를 근거로 탄소성 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 기초로 저주기 피로 수명을 평가하였다.
