The proper stress history measurement should be conducted in order to examine the accurate cause of fatigue cracks or the fatigue safety in the steel bridge. Only one strain gauge is generally installed in the field for the stress history examination because of the field circumstances, economic feasibility, workability, and so on. However, this method may not consider the actual size of the specific structure, the gauge length, and the affect of stress concentration in the welded joint. In addition, it is difficult to apply for the stress analysis. Therefore, this study suggests improvements that are a great number of gauge installations, the gauge location adjustment, and the use of the minimum length gauge. It is drived the correlative equation of strain for the distance between the welding toe and the strain gauge installation, and compare correlative equation with equation of IIW. Also, this study could estimate the remaining life and fatigue damage of bridge in service by selecting the suitable stress category. In conclusion, it is possible to understand the member which is high in the fatigue cracks, and the quantitative relations between the welding toe and the strain gauge installation distances. The proposed approach in this study can make an more accurate fatigue damage and a remaining life prediction so that the improved method should be applied in measuring the strain of bridges from now on.

Based on the equivalent uniform stress concept presented by Seed and Idriss, sinusoidal cyclic loads which simplified the earthquake loads have been applied in evaluating the liquefaction resistance strength experimentally. However, the liquefaction resistance strength of soil based on the equivalent uniform stress concept can not exactly reflect the dynamic characteristics of the irregular earthquake motion. In this study, the criterion of the liquefaction resistance strength was determined by applying real earthquake loading to the cyclic triaxial test. From the test results, relationships between liquefaction behaviors of saturated sand and earthquake characteristics such as magnitude or time-duration were determined. Magnitude scaling factors to determine the soil liquefaction resistance strength in seismic design were also proposed.

Micro polysilicon actuators, which are widely used in the field of MEMS (Microelectromechanical System) technology, were fabricated using polysilicon thin layers. Polysilicon deposition were carried out to have symmetrical layer structures with a LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) system, and we have measured physical characteristics by micro test patterns, such as bridges and cantilevers to verify minimal mechanical stress and stress gradient in the polysilicon layers according to the methods of mutilayer deposition, doping, and thermal treatment, also, analyzed the properties of each specimen, which have a different process condition, by XRD, and SIMS etc.. Finally, the fabricated planar polysilicon resonator, symmetrically stacked to $6.5{\mu}m$ thickness, showed Q of 1270 and oscillation ampitude of $5{\mu}m$ under DC 15V, AC 0.05V, and 1000 mtorr pressure. The developed micro polysilicon resonator can be utilized to micro gyroscope and accelerometer sensor.

The aim of this study is to estimate the reliability of fatigue limit of the material used for crank throw components according to the staircase method. The material used for crank throw components is forged S34MnV grade steel, which is heat treated by normalizing and tempering. In this work, to predict the reliability of the design fatigue strength, axially loaded constant amplitude fatigue testing was conducted. The test specimens were loaded with an axial push/pull load with a mean stress of 0 MPa, which corresponds to a stress ratio of R=-1. The fatigue test results were evaluated by Dixon-Mood formulas. The values of mean fatigue strength and standard deviation predicted by the staircase method were 296.3 MPa and 10.6 MPa, respectively. Finally, the reliability of the fatigue limit in some selected probability of failure is predicted. The proposed method can be applied for the determination of fatigue strength for design optimization of the forged steel.

In this study, a newly developed ultrasonic fatigue test was performed for durability assessment of polyoxymethylene engineering plastic, which has a high crystallization rate and degree of crystallization. Fatigue strength of POM (polyoxymethylene) was performed on a piezoelectric UFT developed by Mbrosia Co., Ltd(1), operating at a high frequency of 20 kHz. The test results showed a fatigue limit of 5.0~6.0 MPa under fatigue testing at R = -1, 20kHz; and, electron microscopy revealed the size effect by risk volume and fractured dimple structure after the coalescence of micro-voids through the crazing effect, which occurs during the failure of a polymer.

본 연구에서는 Advanced Rheometric Expansion System(ARES)를 사용하여 대진폭 진동 전단 변형하에서 발생하는 폴리이소부틸렌(PIB) 농후 용액의 비선형 점탄성 거동을 저 장탄성율과 동적점도의 변형량 의존성 및 응력파형의 fast Fourier transform(FFT) 해석을 통해 고찰하였다. 스트레인 진촉을 단계적으로 증가시키면서 측정한 동적 점탄성으로 부터 저장탄성율 및 동적점도의 선형응답한계를 결정하고 이들에 미치는 각주파수의 영향을 조사 하였다. 그리고 응력파형의 Fourier 전개로부터 유도되는 비선형 점탄성함수를 사용하여 비 선형 거동을 설명하였다. 끝으로 비선형 점탄성 거동의 정도를 나타내는 비선형 거동 지수 를 정의하고 이들에 미치는 각주파수의 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 얻어 진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다.(1) 선형 응답한계는 고분자 용액의 특성시간의 역수보다 높은 각주파수 범위에서는 일정한 값을 유지하지만 특성시간의 역수보다 낮은 각주파수 영 역에서는 각주파수가 감소할수록 증가한다. (2)선형응답한계 이상의 대변형하에서는 3차비선 형 점탄성 함수 이상의 고차항의 영향이 크게 작용하며 이로인해 비선형 거동이 발생된다. (3) 스트레인 진폭을 단계적으로 증가시키면서 측정한 저장탄성율 및 동적점도의 변형량 의 존성은 응력파형의 Fourier transform으로부터 유도된 1차 비선형 점탄성 함수의 변형량 의 존성을 나타낸다 (4) 저장탄성율 및 동적점도의 변형량 의존성으로부터 유도된 비선형 거동 지수는 탄성적 서질과 점성적 성질에 대한 비선형 특성을 평가하기 위한 유요한 방법으로 인정된다. (5) 비선형 점탄성 거동의 정도를 나탄는 비선형 거동지수는 특정한 각주파수에서 최대치를 가지며 또한 탄성적 거동이 점성적 거동에 비해 더욱 큰 각주파수 의존성을 나타낸다.

Microstructural processes during high cycle fatigue are investigated according to plastic-strain hardening, crack formation, crack propagation and fracture. It is shown that the fatigue test resembles the uniaxial tensile test. The logarithm of the number of cycles to failure is proportional to the elongation in the tensile test. Under high cycle fatigue test, the strain is normally elastic. If the strain is absolutly elastic, fatigue could not result. But this is over simplication. Nearly all metals undergo a minor amount of plastic strain even at low stress. Damage accumulation leadling to crack formation can continue in the persistent slip bands at very low average plastic strain amplitude. In the ten­s sile test the overall specimen follows the failure procedure whilst in the high cycle fatigue test the local persistent slip band follows the failure procedure. However accumulations of strain per unit volume in the deforming region before failure in both cases are equal locally.

Recently, Televiewer(Borehole Acoustic Scanner(Televiewer)) has come to be widely used specially for the general engineering construction design. The Televiewer tool using a focussed acoustic beam is to detect the amplitude and traveltime of each reflected acoustic signal at the wall, resulting in the amplitude- and traveltime image respectively. Fractures can be well detected, because they easily scatter the acoustic energy due to the highly narrow beam. In addition, the drilling work will rough the borehole wall so that the acoustic energy can be scattered simply due to the roughness of the wall. Thus, the amplitude level can be directed associated with the elastic properties(impedance) and the hardness of the rock as well. Meanwhile, the traveltime image provides an information about the borehole shape and can be converted to a high precision 3D caliper log(max. 288 arms). In this paper, based on the high resolution of Televiewer images, general evaluation methods are illustrated to derive very reliable rock parameters.

Since fatigue cracks in rail can be the source of fractures and subsequent derailments, quantitative evaluation of the fatigue behavior and fracture properities due to the analysis results of laboratory test are drawn on the basis for predicting fatigue life and making a decision of safe inspection interval. Charpy V-notch and fracture toughness behavior were evaluated from the results of Charpy impact test. Fatigue test was performed by using CT type specimen under constant amplitude loading, and finally the effects of the following parameters; crack orientation, temperature, and stress ratio, on the fatigue crack growth behavior were studied.
