Abstract

This paper proposes an approach for predicting the fatigue life of a propeller shaft of a forklift truck by an accelerated life test method. The accelerated life test method adopted in this study is the calibrated accelerated life test, which is highly effective in the prediction of the lifetime and enables significant reduction of the test time as well as a quantification of reliability in the case of small sample sizes. First, the fatigue test was performed under two high stress levels, and then, it was performed by setting low stress levels in consideration of the available test time and extrapolation. Major reliability parameters such as the lifetime, accelerated power index, and shape parameter were obtained experimentally, and the experimentally predicted lifetime of the propeller shaft was verified through comparison with results of an analysis of load spectrum data under actual operating conditions.

본 논문은 가속시험법을 이용하여 추진축의 피로 수명을 예측하는 것이다. 가속시험방법으로는 교정가속시험법을 적용하였으며, 이 시험법은 시험시료 수량이 적을 경우에 시험시간 단축과 신뢰성을 높이는 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 두 수준의 고부하 스트레스 수준에서 피로시험을 수행하고, 외삽법과 가용한 시험시간을 고려하여 저부하 스트레스 시험 수준을 결정하여 피로시험을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 가속지수와 형상모수 등의 신뢰성 파라미터를 시험을 수행하여 획득하였고, 실제 사용 환경의 로드 스펙트럼을 분석하고 시험 결과와 비교하여 추진축의 수명을 예측할 수 있었다.
