In this study, direct tensile fatigue tests of the PS bar were performed in terms of diameter, minimum stress level, and maximum stress level. In the static test, the stress - strain curve and ultimate streng th of the PS bar were determined. Results of the fatigue test indicate that the diameter of the PS bar was not influenced by fatigue life. Minimum stress also had quite an influence on the fatigue of the PS bar. Thus, the fatigue characteristic equation was proposed in terms of stress range and minimum stress through statistical process. Strains on specimen that loaded direct tension were measured in the fatigue test, with the secant modulus of elasticity calculated from measured strains. The strain development consisted of three different stages, i.e., rapid increases during the initial fatigue life, uniform increases during the middle stage, and rapid increases until failure. The secant modulus of elasticity decreased during the fatigue life with increasing strain. However, stress level seemed to have no influence on the secant modulus of elasticity.

The stress concentration of the integral welded attachments (IWA) often used to support piping system has been a big issue because it induces local stresses in piping. The method to evaluate local stresses associated with attachments on elbows has been suggested in EPRI TR-107453. However, there are limitations regarding specific parameters range in order to use correlation equation. In this paper, parametric study based on piping elbow size and attachment dimension was performed utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate the secondary stress indices of hollow circular cross section welded attachments on piping elbows with the extended parameters range. The results of the FEA were used to develop correlation formulas for calculating secondary stress indices. The empirical equations in this study are suggested as an alternative evaluation method of EPRI TR-107453 by extending parameters range.

This study was planned to verify the usefulness of Latin square design method in fatigue tests of cables and to see the axial fatigue behavior of wire ropes being used as hangers in suspension bridges. Three parameters : mean stress, stress range. and specimen length, were adopted for verification. The effects of these parameters are in argument except for stress range. Three classes in each parameter were used. Triple replication was performed in each cell to increase the number of replication (or degree of freedoms). The major cause of fatigue failure was fretting fatigue at trellis contact point. Three chosen parameters were proved to be significant. It was verified that the effect of stress range was in agreement with expectation, but the effect of specimen length was contrary to the expectation. It was also observed that the effect of mean stress depended upon the chosen level. Therefore Latin square design method is effective for verifying the parameters that affect fatigue behaviour under orthogonality conditions.

응력집중의 원인은 여러 가지 있으며, 각각의 방지대책 또한 이론적으로는 밝혀져 있다. 그러나 실제 용접구조물에 있어서는 여러 가지 제약조건 때문에 유효한 방지대학을 적용할 수 없는 경우도 있어 이러한 경우에는 설계와 시공 등을 통하여 최적의 조건을 도출하는 것이 중요하다. 또한, 응력집중의 악영향은 사용조건이나 환경에 의하여 크게 변화하므로, 어떤 조건에서는 문제되지 않는 응력집중이 다른 조건에서는 손상의 원인이 되기도 한다. 빈약한 경험에 근거한 독단이나 지식부족에 의한 무분별은 극히 위험한 것이다. 응력집중의 악영향을 방지하는데는 설계기술자는 물론 용접시공을 담당하는 용접기술자, 용접지도자 등 넓은 범위의 관련기술자가 응력집중의 악영향과 그 방지대책의 기본에 대하여 바른 지식을 가지고 용접시공에 관련된 모든 공정 및 작업에 주의를 기울이고 적절한 조처를 취하는 것이 중요하다.

The principle objective of this study is to evaluate the fatigue behavior of structural steel components of highway bridges subjected to service stresses. The main aspects of this investigation are; 1) a measurement and statistical analysis of service stress cycles observed in highway bridge. 2) fatigue tests under equivalent constant-amplitude(CA) loading and simulated variable-amplitude(VA) loading 3) a evaluation of the fatigue behavior under VA-loading by eqivalent root mean cube (RMC) stress range. Theoretically, the RMC model is adequate in evaluation of fatigue behavior under VA-loading, because the regression coefficient (m) of crack growth rate is 3 approximately. The result of fatigue test shows that the RMC model is fitter than the current RMS model in fatigue evaluation under VA-loading. The interaction effects and sequence effects under VA-loading affect little fatigue life of structural components. As the transition rate of stress ranges is higher, the crack growth rate is higher.

We have constructed a hysteresis loop tracer in order to measure the magnetic properties of amorphous wires under variable tensile stress. It has a force range of 0 N to 20 N and a magnetizing frequency of 1 kHz to 20 kHz. Using the ac-hysteresis loop tracer, we can measure the magnetic properties(maximum magnetic induction $B_{max}$, residual magnetic induction $B_{r}$, coercive field strength $H_{c}$, etc.) of amorphous wires with precision of 1% under variable tensile stresses.

The mode of fatigue failure is depended on the characteristics of the fatigue crack initiated and propagated from the weld toe and the weld root in the load-carrying fillet welded joints. The characteristics of fatigue crack are deeply affected by the geometry of fillet and the stress range. The purpose of this study is to investigate critical weld size and stress range in order to occur toe failure under pulsating tension loading in the load-carrying fillet welded cruciform joints.

원자로의 중기발생기 재료로 사용되어온 Alloy 600에서의 규칙 반응에 대한 활성화 에너지 측정, aging에 따른 미세조직의 변화에 근거하여 입계 응력 부식 균열 기구를 검토하였다. Alloy 600에서는 약 50$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 aging 처리중 단범위 규칙 상의 존재 및 규칙 반응의 존재가 입증된 바 있다. 규칙 반응의 본성이 열적활성화 과정에 의한 것이라는 점, 규칙 반응에 대한 활성화 에너지의 크기와 입계응력부식균열의 활성화 에너지와의 유사성, 규칙 반응에 의한 쌍정의 형성, 쌍정의 형성에 기인한 결정내의 추가적 응력의 발생 등에 근거하여 Alloy 600에서 나타나는 입계응력부식균열 현상이 규칙 상의 형성과 관련되어 있음을 제안하였다.

The number of railway bridges in Korea reaches to about 3,000. Among them, the ratio of steel bridges is about 47%. Most of the long span railway bridges take the truss type, its number is 15 in Korea. These bridges have more than 30 years service life, it is expected that the damages of cracks and corrosion is going. Therefore, the estimation of fatigue life with random stress is considered as significant subject in maintenance. In this paper, the random stress was measured in bridges and counted the stress cycles using the rainflow counting method So, the stress range frequencies and their equivalent stress are obtained and the amplification factor for the span length, bridge types and traveling speed is assessed by the dynamic testing. From the results, the stress range of the stringer and the lower chord is higher than the other members and the characteristics of the stress histogram is varied to the loading system and the amount of the passing through trains. And the impact effects are depended on the traveling speed as well as the span length.

This study was conducted to investigate the physical and optical properties of polypropylene and polyester thermal curtains, in which tensile strength, heat reservance and light transmission of two different materials were measured. The results from this study are as follows. 1. The tensile weight of different materials were ranged from 3.4kg to 13.4kg, according to the thickness of materials, but that no difference in the tensile strength was appeared between the two materials. The Elongation of polypropylene materials and the tensile weight and strength of polyester materials were greater than any other materials. 2. The light transmittances of two materials were ranged from 50.3% to 81.7 %, light transmittances in polypropylene were higher by 20-30%,than those in polyester. 3. The heat reservances of two materials were ranged from 18.2% to 41.2%, in which polypropylene showed better performance than polyester. 4. From the results of the test, the polypropylene thermal material was better in elongation, heat reservances and light transmittances, but polyester thermal material was better in tensile strength and light isolation than the other material.
