Rotor blades are important devices that affect the power performance, efficiency of energy conversion, and loading and dynamic stability of wind turbines. Therefore, considering the characteristics of a wind turbine system is important for achieving optimal blade design. When a design is complete, a design evaluation should be performed to verify the structural integrity of the proposed blade in accordance with international standards or guidelines. This paper presents a detailed exposition of the evaluation items and acceptance criteria required for the design certification of wind turbine blades. It also presents design evaluation results for a 2-MW blade (KR40.1b). Analyses of ultimate strength, buckling stability, and tip displacement were performed using FEM, and Miner's rule was applied to evaluate the fatigue life of the blade. The structural integrity of the KR40.1b blade was found to satisfy the design standards.

Hot forming using boron steel is currently used for manufacturing low-weight automobile body parts, and a high tensile strength of about 1,500 MPa is obtained after hot forming. However, a high fatigue life is a more important factor than high strength when it is used for automobile suspension parts. A tubular torsion beam axle (TTBA) is one of these suspension parts, and this research deals with the fatigue characteristic of TTBA using hot forming. The low cyclic fatigue life of boron steel is investigated according to the cooling method. In addition, a structural and fatigue analysis of TTBA is performed to predict the fatigue life. The stress concentration that occurs in the tubular torsion beam is found, and the longest fatigue life occurs when rapid cooling is utilized in the TTBA fabrication.

In this study, the lower arm is connected and fixed at the model of the automotive stabilizer link as the moment is applied. There are models of 1, 2 and 3 as a length control type, a general type and a single body type respectively. These models are investigated by performing the convergence technique through the design and the strength analysis with CATIA and ANSYS. As the maximum equivalent stress of model 3 has the least, model 3 can endure the highest load among three models. As the fatigue analysis, model 3 has the minimum blocks as the frequency of stress state, model 3 becomes also safest among three models. As models of 1, 2 are in the order of the next safety, the number of blocks becomes larger as the frequency of stress state and the instability becomes higher. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.

Fatigure crack growth from surface defects is one of the most important subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety in pressure vessels, piping systems, ship hulls and other various structures. This paper attempts to analysis some practical or general problems such as the estimation of crack growth life to penetrate the plate thickness, based on fatigure crack growth from a single surface flaw and the interaction of multiple flaws. An experiment on the coalescence of multiple undercuts was carried out under cyclic tension condition as a attempt to the analysis of multiple crack problems. It is noted that the fracture strength is characterized by the analogy to that in a single crack growth.

In this study, two models due to the configuration of ripper at excavator are investigated by structural and fatigue analyses. The maximum stress and deformation are happened at the axis connected with the body of working device and the direct working part respectively. Model 1 is thought to have more structural durability than model 2. Fatigue life or damage in case of 'SAE bracket history' whose load change is most severest among non-uniform fatigue loads is shown to become most unstable. But life or damage in case of 'Sample history' whose load change is slowest among non-uniform fatigue loads is shown to become most stable. These study results can be effectively utilized with the design of ripper at excavator by anticipating and investigating prevention and durability against its fatigue damage.

When the driver riding in a bicycle goes on board, the load of driver is shown differently according to the position loaded on the frame of bicycle. The load is applied most at the joint of bike frame and the load at the mid-part of frame is applied least than the other parts. So, the weight of frame is decreased as the part not applied with a lot of load is manufactured into the thin thickness. As the part applied with high load is manufactured into the thick thickness, it can be endured through this load. The configurations of general frame, double butted and triple butted were modelled by using CATIA program. The durabilities of each model due to the load of passenger were investigated by carrying the structural and fatigue analyses. As this study result investigated with the analysis program of ANSYS, the deformation of general frame happened most and that of triple butted became least. These simulation analysis data are intended to be used to design the actual bicycle frame in the most efficient way at design and manufacture.

High supersonic aircraft are exposed to high temperature environments by aerodynamic heating during supersonic flight. Thermal protection system structures such as double-panel structures are used on the skin of the fuselage and wings to prevent the transfer of high heat into the interior of an aircraft. The thin-walled double-panel skin can be exposed to acoustic loads by supersonic aircraft's high power engine noise and jet flow noise, which can cause sonic fatigue damage. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the behavior of supersonic aircraft skin structure under thermal-acoustic load and to predict fatigue life. In this paper, we designed and fabricated thermal-acoustic test equipment to simulate thermal-acoustic load. Thermal-acoustic testing of the titanium specimen under thermal-acoustic load was performed. The analytical model was verified by comparing the thermal-acoustic test results with the finite element analysis results.

접지된 유전체슬랩 위에 주기적으로 스트립이 놓여있는 격자구조에 대한 전자파 산란현상을 반사격자(reflection grating) 관점과 누설파안테나(leaky wave antenna) 관점에서 조사하였다. 수치해석 결과로 입사파의 편파에 무관한 Bragg blazing 현실과 동시에 Bragg 및 off-Bragg blazing 현상이 확인되는 경우를 조사하였으며 그 특성(복소전파상수, 복사패턴, 산란특성)에 대하여 논의하였다.

The driving methods of car are front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and four wheel drive. At driving methods, constant velocity joint is the most important part at carrying out two functions for converting to the direction which the driver wants and transferring the power to wheels. At driving on the road, the impact can be applied to the parts transmitting power according to the state of road surface. In this study, each models of three constant velocity joints whose shaft length are different respectively were modelled with CATIA and the structural and fatigue analyses were carried out by using ANSYS. This study result is thought to be the useful material at designing the constant velocity joint with the durability against impact. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at the design of constant velocity joint and show the esthetic sense.
