The effect of surface damage on fatigue properties of catenary wires were investigated to estimate their service lift. As surface defects of the wires caused by surface corrosion increase, surface roughness gets worse, and as roughness increases, it is easy for moisture coming from rain and dew to be condensed around uneven parts of the surface. The condensed moisture causes a locally severe corrosion which leads to damage of the wires. Corrosion of catenaty wires can make their actual lifetime shorter than that originally designed. The amount of decrease was more prominent as environmental conditions became more corrosive. They are also vibrated with some amplitude everytime pantographs touch contact line. The frequent cyclic load on the wire may result in a fatigue fracture. Surface damage by corrosion can make formation of crack initiation at fatigue. In the present study, the fatigue life of the used wire was measured 35 to 50% compared with that of new one in average.

The development of new materials that are light-weight, yet high in strength has become vital to the machinery, aircraft and auto industries. However, there are a lot of problems with developing such materials that require expensive tools, and a great deal of time and effort. Therefore, the improvement of fatigue strength and fatigue life are mainly focused on by adopting residual stress. The fatigue crack growth rate of the Shot-peened material was lower than that of the Un-peened material. And in stage I, threshold stress intensity factor of the shot-peen processed material is high in critical parts unlike the Un-peened material. Also, fatigue crack growth exponent and number of cycle of the Shot-peened material was higher than that of the Un-peened material. That is concluded from effect of da/dN. And Fatigue life shows more improvement in the Shot-peened material than in the Un-peened material. And compressive residual stress of surface on the Shot-peen processed operate resistance force of fatigue crack propagation.

Recently the authors had proposed the z-pinning patch concept to simply manufacture z-pinned composite structures at industrial production site and manufactured composite single-lap shear joint specimens using the concept. Through static tensile test on the specimens they had obtained 54~68% improvement of the joint strength. As a sequential study of it, in this study, fatigue test has performed to measure an improvement of joint strength under cyclic loading. The z-pin's material is stainless steel and its surface was specially machined into zagged shapes and chemically corroded to increase the connection force with composite materials. Approximately 98~125% improvement of the joint strength under cyclic loading was obtained.

The compressive residual stress and fatigue behavior of shot peened alloy 600 under a high-temperature environment is investigated in this study. Alloy 600 is used in the main parts of nuclear power plants, and the compressive residual stress induced by the shot peening process is considered to prevent SCC (stress corrosion cracking). To obtain practical results, the fatigue characteristics and compressive residual stress are evaluated under the actual operating temperature of a domestic nuclear power plant, as well as a high-temperature environment. The experimental results show that the peening effects are valid at a high temperature lower than approximately $538^{\circ}C$, which is the threshold temperature. The fatigue life was maintained at temperatures lower than $538^{\circ}C$, and the compressive residual stress at $538^{\circ}C$ was 68.2% of that at room temperature. The present results are expected to be used to obtain basic safety and reliability data.

증기 발생기 전열관의 파열 사고는 지난 20년 동안 2년마다 1개씩의 비율로 발생되어왔고 최근 몇 년간은 매년 발생되고 있는 추세이다(3). 전열관의 파열 사고는 응력부식균열, 피로 그리고 마멸 등의 원인에 의해서 발생되고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 초기 발전소에서 균열의 발생 및 성장은 축 방향 균열에 국한하여 관심을 가졌었으나 최근 원주 방향 균열에 의한 사고가 발생되면서 원주 방향 균열에 대해 관심을 가지게 되었다.(중략)

철도는 국가의 물류 및 인적자원을 수송하는 주요한 수송수단으로 1899년 9월 연장 33.2km의 경인선을 시작으로 선로가 지속적으로 증설되어 현재 총영업연장은 6,683km에 달하고 있다. 현재 국내에는 총 2,500여개소의 철도교가 있는데, 이 중에서 강교량에 대해서 연장이 차지하는 비율은 약 48%이고, 공용기간이 50년 이상인 강교량이 전체교량의 약 46%를 차지하고 있으므로 이들 강철도교는 노후화가 상당히 진행되고 있을 것으로 판단된다.(중략)

화학설비나 산업설비 또는 국가 기간 설비에서 파이프(pipe)는 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있으며 파이프의 파열은 그대로 대형 사고나 설비 가동의 중단으로 연결되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 파이프의 구조건전성을 유지하는 것은 안전의 확보와 생산 설비의 효율적 운용을 위하여 긴요하다. 파이프 재료 내부에는 재료 제작 시, 또는 파이프 제작 시 발생된 결함이나 사용 중 부식이나 피로 등의 영향으로 생성된 결함이 존재한다. 이러한 결함은 파이프의 강도를 낮추게 되고, 파이프의 잔류강도가 사용압력보다 낮아지게 되면 파이프가 파열하게 된다. 따라서 본 글에서는 파이프에 균열이 존재하거나 손상된 경우의 구조안전성 평가를 위하여 필요한 해석방법에 대하여 살펴본다.(중략)

The considerations for remaining life of ACSR (Aluminum Stranded Conductors Steel Reinforced) in transmission lines have become gradually important to hold reliability and stability of power supply. The remaining life of ACSR exposed to the atmosphere for a long period may rely on deterioration caused by environmental indices such as atmospheric corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion and fatigue corrosion. One of reduction of useful life in overhead transmission lines built on the ridge of mountain is often caused by forest fires.This paper deals with investigation of strength deterioration performance of ASCR due to fires through several testing and analyzing data for tension load and extension of blazed ACSR. Test samples are ACSR 480[$\textrm{mm}^2$] conductors, which are artificially fired to regular durations. Mechanical properties such as tension load and extension for fired ACSR conductors are tested and estimation functions for mechanical performances corresponding to fire duration are determined. As a result, it can be verified that both tension load and extension of ACSR are reduced by increasing fire duration. Hence, it is obvious that ACSR due to forest fires may lead to mechanical deterioration.
