MSM (Modal Superposition Method) is a technique for analyzing structural durability by taking the vibration characteristics into consideration. In this paper, MSR (Modal Stress Recovery) method, which is similar to MSM, was reviewed to check its validity as a durability analysis method. The MSR method directly calculates the modal displacement time history in multibody dynamics analysis; as a result, the total analysis time is shorter than that of MSM method. We conduct durability analysis using the MSR method and a durability test of a torsion beam axle that is affected by various road loads within the natural frequency of the beam axle. The analysis results for critical location and durability were in good agreement with the respective test results. Therefore, durability analysis using the MSR method is effective in predicting the durability of the structures of various dynamic systems.

In this paper, resonance durability analysis is performed for the fatigue life assessment considering vibration effect of a vehicle system. In the resonance durability analysis, the frequency response and the dynamic load on frequency domain are used. Multi-body dynamic analysis, finite element analysis, and fatigue life prediction method are applied for the virtual durability assessment. To obtain the frequency response and the dynamic load history, the computer simulations running over typical pothole and Belgian road are carried out by utilizing vehicle dynamic model. The durability estimations on the rear suspension system of the passenger car are performed by using the resonance durability analysis technique and compared with the quasi-static durability analysis. The study shows that the fatigue life considering resonant frequency of vehicle system can be effectively estimated in early design stage.

During the development of vehicles, durability tests are time consuming and costly. Recently, automobile companies have attempted to develop their own durability evaluation procedures by modifying and complementing . In this paper, we propose an integrated computer-aided engineering (CAE) method to evaluate the durability of a torsion beam axle (TBA). We compare this method with the standardized durability evaluation method used by an actual automobile company in order to determine the feasibility of this method. We compare the results with the test result data to enable us to estimate the reliability of the analysis results. In this study, we analyze the processes and results of the quasi-static fatigue analysis, and found improved methods and problems. Furthermore, we perform a thorough test using the requirements of the actual company. Based on the results, the structural analysis process in the quasi-static fatigue analysis method was superseded by the multi-body dynamics analysis process. Generally, this method is referred to as the resonance-fatigue analysis method.

In domestic developing magnetically levitated (Maglev) vehicle, bogie frames install electromagnets which provide the vehicles to run with levitation and guidance forces; moreover, the linear motors used for traction are integrated into the same mechanical structure. This paper presents the process which predicts the evaluation of life cycle for bogie frame on various running conditions. Durability analysis considering vibration effect is simulated by using random loads resulted from dynamic simulation which takes into account the irregularities of guide rail. And it supports additional weak points which were not examined in static analysis.

Recently, virtual test laboratory techniques have been widely used to reduce vehicle development costs and time. In this study, a virtual durability test process using multibody dynamics simulation and fatigue simulation is proposed. The flexible multibody model of the front half of a car suspension is solved using road loads that are measured from durability test courses such as a Belgian road. To verify the simulation results, the measured loads of components and simulation results are collated.

In this study, accelerated chloride diffusion tests were performed on OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) and FA(Fly Ash) concrete considering three levels o f W/B(Water to Binder) ratio o n 1,095 curing days. The accelerated chloride diffusion coefficient and the passed charge were evaluated in accordance with Tang's method and ASTM C 1202, and the resistance performance to chloride attack improved over time. FA concrete showed excellent resistance performance against chloride penetration with help of pozzolanic reaction. As the result of the passed charge, FA concrete showed durability improvement, "low" grade to "very low" grade, but OPC concrete changed "moderate" grade to "low" grade at 1,095 curing days. After assuming the design variables used for durability design as normal distribution functions, the service life of each case was evaluated by the probabilistic analysis method based on MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation). In FA concrete, the increase of probability of durability failure was lower than that of OPC concrete with increasing time, because the time-dependent coefficient of FA concrete was up to 3.2 times higher than OPC concrete. In addition, the service life by probabilistic analysis was evaluated lower than the service life by deterministic analysis, since the target probability of durability failure was set to 10%. It is considered that more economical durability design will be possible if the mo re suitable target probability of durability failure is set for various structures through researches on actual conditions and indoor tests under various circumstances.

In this study, a simulation analysis on the drum itself and the brake was examined. And the analysis results were obtained by investigating the thermal analysis results and the durability through structural analysis. Through the thermal stress and structural analyses on the lining under the force due to the brake cylinder, the drum inside under the force due to the expansion of the lining and the drum under the force due to the rotation of the axis, it was confirmed at which part the amounts of equivalent stress and deformation became large. If applied to the brake disc design by combining the results of this study, it is considered to be large utilization at increasing the prevention against the thermal deformation and its durability. The results of this study can be usefully applied to the durability design that can withstand the thermal stress in the drum brake. By applying the durability analysis at the seam of railroad track by season, this investigation result is seen to be favorable as the convergent research applied to the aesthetic design.
