자동차의 엔진밸브 스프링으로 사용되는 Si-Cr 스프링강의 영구 변형 저항성과 내피로성이 우수한 고강도강을 개발하기 위하여 탄소함량을 증대시키고 Mo, V, W와 같은 합금원소를 기존의 SAE 9254 스프링강에 첨가하여 개발강을 제조했다. SEM및 EDX가 부착된 TEM을 이용하여 미세조직을 관찰했고, 크립시험 및 피로시험기를 이용하여 스프림의 영구 변형 저항성 및 스프링의 내피로성을 조사했다. 실험결과, 개발강은 피로 특성치는 기존강과 동등 수준이면서 인장강도가 기존강의 것보다 10%가 더높은 2100MPa 급의 고강도를 나타내었으며 또한 영구 변형 저항성도 현저하게 개선되었는데 이는 W, Mo의 첨가로 인해 템퍼링시에 세멘타이트의 성장이 억제되어서 세멘타이트의 석출물이 미세하게 되었기 때문이다.

This study intends to develop an analytical model of unreinforced masonry(URM) walls for the nonlinear static analysis which has been generally used to evaluate the seismic performance of a building employing URM walls as seismic force-resisting members. The developed model consists of fiber elements used to capture the flexural behavior of an URM wall and a shear spring element implemented to predict its shear response. This paper first explains the configuration of the proposed model and describes how to determine the modeling parameters of fiber and shear spring elements based on the stress-strain curves obtained from existing experimental results of masonry prisms. The proposed model is then verified throughout the comparison of its nonlinear static analysis results with the experimental results of URM walls carried out by other researchers. The proposed model well captures the maximum strength, the initial stiffness, and their resulting load - displacement curves of the URM walls with reasonable resolution. Also, it is demonstrated that the analysis model is capable of predicting the failure modes of the URM walls.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior and characteristics of rubber springs and calculate the compressive stiffness by performing dynamic compression tests of rubber springs. In order to carry out the dynamic compression test of rubber spring, total 9 rubber springs were tailored by calculating the shape factor of L80-D55, L90-D58, and L100-D60, and used for the experiments. Experiments were performed by controlling the compression according to the length of the rubber spring, and the compression was increased in the order of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of the strain. From the experimental results, the force-strain curves were obtained and it was confirmed that strength decrease and strength increase phenomenon occurred as the strain increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the decrease of stiffness and the increase of stiffness were clearly observed according to the size and diameter of the rubber spring, and the effective compression stiffness was estimated using the slope of the force-strain curve. By using the effective compressive stiffness, design values that can be used in actual design were presented.

최근 자동차의 고속경향화 추세는 많은 진전을 보고 있으며 또 앞으로도 많은 연구와 노력이 경주되어야 하리라고 본다. 그 가운데 하나로 스프링의 경량화는 대략 다음과 같은 3방향에서 연구되고 있다. 1) 복합재료, 즉 GFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics), 나아가서는 BFRP(born fiber reinforced plastics)의 탄선과 경량성을 이용한 스프링. 2) 형상, 즉 구조적인 면에서 스프링소재를 후판으로 사용함으로서, 다매물에서 단매 또는 소수 매의 거물곡선 스피링(parabolic taper spring)으로의 변진. 3) 고응력 사용, 즉 종래의 스프링량보다 높은 탄성을 가진 재료로써 스프링 응력을 톺게 사용할 수 있는 강종의 개발 등이다. 특히 3)의 탄성한을 \ulcorner이는 문제는 2)의 후재화와 더불어 열처리성, 가공성 등이 문제가 되어 이에 따라 신강종으로서의 변천을 강요하게 된다. 그러므로 국제경쟁력을 강화하기 위하여 각국 들이 활발하게 연구 및 개발을 추진하고 있는 현상이다. 우리나라의 경우 현재 제작기술은 어느 정동 많이 축적되고 있으나, 아직 R&D면에서는 점진적으로 추진되고 있다. 이와 같은 실정에서 자동차산업의 국제화와 더불어 종래 사용된 스프링강재의 재검토가 우리나라에서도 긴급히 필 요하게 되었따. 그 예로서 KS SPS5(JIS SUP9)의 강종이 종래 일본에서 자동차용스프링의 대 종을 이루고 있던것이 최근에는 SUP9A로 전환되고 있다. 이것은 SUP9A는 SUP9보다 기계적 성질이 우수하며, 또한 자동차분야의 세계제일위인 미국의 SAE5160재와 일지되고 있다. 그러므로 국제화 경향과 더불어 SUP9종은 SUP9A로 전환되고 있으므로서 우리 나라의 경우에도 자동차 스프링의 수출용은물론이고, 국내용에도 SUP9A에 해당하는 규격이 제정되고, 또한 빠른 전환이 필요하다고 본다. 이와 같은 국제적인 추세는 SUP6을 SUP7H종으로 더욱 향상된 것이 실용 화되고 있다. 아래에서 이에 대한 기계적 특성을 중심으로 검토키로 한다.

In this paper, design technique using genetic algorithms(GA) for design optimization of composite leaf springs is presented here. After the initial design has been validated by the car plate spring as a finite element model, the genetic algorithm suggests the process of optimizing the number of layers of composite materials and their angles. Through optimization process, the weight reduction process of leaf springs and the number of repetitions are compared to the existing algorithm results. The safety margin is calculated by organizing a finite element model to verify the integrity of the structure by applying an additive sequence optimized through the genetic algorithm to the structure. When GA is applied, layer thickness and layer angle of complex leaf springs have been obtained, which contributes to the achievement of minimum weight with appropriate strength and stiffness. A reduction of 65.6% original weight is reached when a leaf steel spring is replaced with a leaf composite spring under identical requirement of design parameters and optimization.

In this paper, the effect of the compressive residual stresses was obtained at the test conditions of the higher temperature than the ambient temperature. The examination was performed with the CT specimen result of the material(JISG SUP9) which is being commonly used for the marine engine parts and the ocean structures. As a result, the test conditions at the higher temperature were acquired considering the peak values of the compressive residual stresses of the specimens and the effect on the fatigue crack propagation speed da／dN in stage II and the threshold stress intensity factor range Δth in stage I. Also the material constant C and the fatigue crack propagation index m in the formula of Paris Law da／dN＝C (ΔK)$^{m}$ were suggested to estimate the dependence on the test temperature.

Shot peening is an effective method of improving the fatigue strength of components and structures. The compressive residual stress produced by surface plastic deformation with shot peening is usually regarded as the major factor in increasing fatigue strength. In this study, the influence of shot peening on corrosion was investigated. Spring steel immersed in $3.5\%$ NaCl prior was used to evaluate the effect of shot peening on fatigue properties. The immersion test was performed on the five kinds of specimens with shot peened and unpeened. The distributions of residual stresses of shot peened spring steels were measured in an X-ray diffraction apparatus, using the two-point method. Corrosion potential, polarization curve, residual stress, etc. were investigated, based on the experimental results. From test results, the effect of shot peening on the corrosion was evaluated.

The lightness of components required in automobile and machinery industry is requiring high strength of components. In particular, manufacturing process and new materials development for solving the fatigue fracture problem attendant upon high strength of suspension of automobile are actively advanced. In this paper, the effect of compressive residual stress of spring steel(JISG SUP-9) by shot-peening on fatigue crack growth characteristics in high temperatures($100^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $180^{\circ}C$) was investigated with considering fracture mechanics. So, we can obtain followings. (1)Compressive residual stress decreases in high temperature, that is, with increasing temperature. (2)The effect of compressive residual stress on fatigue crack growth behavior in high temperature increases below $\Delta$K=17~19MPa (3)It was investigated by SEM that the constraint of compressive residual stress for plastic zone of fatigue crack tip was decreased in high temperature as compared with room temperature.
