The crack that occurs on the wheels of railroad cars can be categorized into a surface crack that starts from the surface or a subsurface crack that starts from the inside and can be detrimental to safe railroad operations. Therefore, estimating the growth life span of this type of crack is very important. In this research, the stress distributions, displacements, and the growth-life spans of both surface cracks and subsurface cracks have been studied. By using the finite element analysis, especially in the life span prediction process, the stress conditions and the stress intensity factors of the crack tip have been discovered. The Paris formula has been used to analyze the growth-life span prediction.

Blast cleaning has been applied in steel bridges for cleaning forged surface and increasing adhesive property of applied coating systems. Blasting is the operation of cleaning or preparing a surface by forcible propelling a stream of abrasive metals against it. Blast cleaning may improve surface geometry and induce compressive residual stress, and eventually may increase fatigue life of weld joints. In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out on three types of non-load-carrying fillet welded cruciform joints, as-welded joints, blast-treated joints, and stress-relieved joints after blasting, in order to investigate effect of blast cleaning on fatigue behavior of the weld joints. By Blast cleaning, the weld toe radius was increased by 29% and compressive residual stress was induced near weld toes. Blast cleaning increased fatigue life and fatigue endurance limit of the weld joints. When the applied stress ranges decreased, the increment in fatigue life became larger. About a 150% increase in fatigue limit could be realized by using blast cleaning.

해양구조물의 피로파괴 형태는 매우 다양하며 설계단계에서 구조요소의 피로수명 예측은 중요하다. 각가지 피로해석 방법에 대해서 연구가 활발히 진행되었으며 접근방법에 대한 논의도 활발한 연구와 함께 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 피로해석 방법중 스펙트랄 방법과 그 구성요소에 대해서 연구되었으며 간략화된 피로해석 방법이 제시되었고 그 특성이 비교 검토되었다. 두가지 피로해석 방법의 장단점이 조사되었고 관련된 인자인 응력집중계수, 응력폭-수명 관계 곡선 또한 연구되었다. 전형적인 반 잠수식시추선의 브레이싱 부재의 피로수명 예측을 위하여 간략화된 피로해석 방법과 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 작용되었으며 이를 통하여 두 방법의 유용성이 확인되었다. 또한 간략화된 피로해석 방법을 이용한 민감도 해석이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서 수행된 피로해석 결과는 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 보다 현실적인 피로수명 예측을 할 수 있는 방법이라는 사실을 보여주었다.

금형을 이용하는 소성가공에서는 형 사이에서 셩형되는 소재가 소성변형되지만 이때 소재는 형의 표면을 따라 미끄러지면서 유동하므로 형재료와 소재간에는 큰 마찰력이 작용하고, 형재료는 이 마찰력에 의하여 전단응력이 작용하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 전단응력이 반복하여 작용하는 프레스가공 등에서는 형의 수명이 항상 문제가 된다. 물론 형의 수명은 형재료가 프레스압력에 견디지 못하여 형이 균열되거나 펀치가 절단되는 것 같은 형재료의 강인성이 불충분하기 때문에 비교적 조기에 일어나는 파손에 의하여 수명의 대상으로 되는 경우도 있지만 무엇보다도 형의 수명을 죄우하는 가장 중요한 사항은 형재료의 내마멸성이다. 따라서 본 연구에서서는 이들 제인자를 고려하여 Die 및 Punch의 재료로 널리 사용되는 냉간성형용 Die강인 STD 11의 마멸특성을 알기 위하여 미끄럼 속도, 접촉압력 및 미끄럼 거리등을 변화시켜 내마멸성을 나타내는 최적사용조건을 찾고자 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다.

본 논문에서는 유체기계에서 사용되고 있는 홀로제트밸브의 감속기에 대하여 APM S/W로 시뮬레이션(simulation) 하였다. 수압과 외부의 힘에 의해서 전달되는 베벨기어의 설계검증 및 재설계 관하여 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 도면의 재원을 변경시키지 않고 기어의 수명을 시뮬레이션한 결과 SM45C를 Martempering하여 사용할 시 기어의 수명이 짧아 적절치 못하였고 고주파열처리강, 질화열처리강을 사용할 경우 기어의 수명시간이 12,957-20,983시간 이였고 침탄강을 사용할 시 기어의 수명은 영구적이었고 소재의 경도가 우수할수록 더 많은 허용굽힘응력과 허용접촉응력을 받을 수 있다는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증된다. 그리고 기어의 검증결과로 기어를 다시 설계할 경우 고주파나 질화강으로 하여 기어의 잇수가 1-3개만 늘어나고, 피치원의 지름이 4-12mm늘어나면 영구적으로 사용할 수 있고 침탄강을 사용할 시 치폭이 3mm줄어들고, 기어 잇수가 1-3개 줄어들고 피치원의 지름이 4-13mm 줄어들어 감속기를 경량화 시킬 수 있다는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증되었다.

In this paper, stress analysis anda 3-point bending fatigue test were conducted on the full-scale specimen to investigate the effects of misalignment at the U-rib welded joint due to misfitting in the steel deck bridge. In addition, the researchers investigated the direction and starting point of fatigue cracks by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and beach mark. The results of the stress analysis show that maximum stress occurred at the bottom corner of the U-rib, and that the stress was large when the magnitude of the misalignment was large. On the other hand, the results of the static loading test of the full-scale specimen show that stress was large at the bottom corner of the U-rib. In addition, fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was large when the misalignment was small, as indicated by the results of both the static loading test and the fatigue test. From the observation of the failure surface, fatigue cracks began manifesting at the root of the base metal and proceeded to the bead surface (weld toe).

This paper presents the probabilistic analysis for fatigue life of Glass/Epoxy laminates with impact-induced damage. For this, a series of impact tests were perfomed on the Glass/Epoxy laminates using instrumented impact testing machine. Then, tensile and fatigue tests carried out so as to generate post-impact residual strength and fatigue life. Two Parameter Weibull distribution was used to fit the residual strength and fatigue life data of Glass/Epoxy composite laminates. The residual strength was affected by impact energy and their variance decreased with increasing of impact energy. The fatigue life of impacted laminates was greatly reduced by impact energy and this trend depended on applied stress amplitude. Additionally, the variation of fatigue life was gradually decreased with the applied stress amplitude.

In this paper, the fatigue life of a laser peened structure was predicted. In order to calculate residual stress induced by laser peening finite element simulation was carried out. Modified Goodman equation was used to consider the effect of compressive residual stress induced by laser peening in fatigue analysis. In addition, additive adjustment factor approach was applied to consider S-N curve model uncertainty. Consequently, the reliable bounds of the predicted fatigue life of the laser peened structure was determined.

The importance of maintenance of rail surface defects is increasing according to the KTX operation. That is because during high speed operation of rolling stocks, rail surface defects shorten fatigue life of rail, accelerate track degradation and deteriorate ride comfort. Rail grinding has been applied for effective rail maintenance in Kyeong-Bu HS line. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of rail grinding in term of rail fatigue life. To this end, the stresses of the rail are measured under KTX running and the equivalent stress range is calculated by RMC after the frequency analysis done with rainflow counting method. Also, The Modified Miner's rule is applied to predict the fatigue life of ground rail. The result of the analysis shows that the fatigue life of ground rail is increased by 15%.

To evaluate the fatigue lives of welded joints taking into residual stress relaxation, two approaches are applied. One is based on the conventional local strain analyses. The other is based on a model developed by the authors. In the first approach, the Ramberg-Osgood relation, Lawrence model and S.W.T. parameter are used. In the second approach, The S-N curve for a welded joint is deduced from that of the parent material. Residual stress relaxation obtained by finite element analysis is considered. Finally, we evaluate the fatigue lives for four weld details using the two approaches.
