Recently the steel parts used at automobils are required to be used under high stress more than ever before in need of the weight down. To achieve this requirement of a high strength steel, it must be necessary to decrease inclusion content and surface defect as like decarburization, surface roughness etc.. In this study, the surface conditions are measured to know the influence on fatigue properties by two cases of shot peening of two-stage shot peening and single-stage shot peening. And for this study, two kinds of spring steel (SAE 9254, DIN50CrV4) are used. This study shows the outstanding improvement of fatigue properties at the case of two-stage shot peening in the rotary bending fatigue test and this is assumed to be from (1) on low stress condition, th 1st stage shot peening is not affected by nonmetallic inclusion under metal.(2) it is possible that the 2nd stage shot peening increases the fatigue life and the high stress but that is affected by nonmetallic inclusion under metal. (3) so far beeasily DIN50CrV4 have made high stress. But, results also show fatigue failures originated at inclusion near surface, and this inclusion type is turned out to be a alumina of high hardness.

Cold rolled steel has much plastic strain in the material surface produced by manufacturing process. The strain causes the variation of surface residual stress, in which influences the fatigue behavior under repeated loading. As experimental results, it was confirmed that the behavior of residual stress ${\sigma}_r$, with cycle N consisted of three stages except stress amplitude near fatigue limit in SPCC steel. On the first stage compressive residual stress decreased rapidly, on the second stage gradually, and on the last stage slightly. The relation between ${\sigma}_r$, and log N appeared linear behavior except the early part of cycle ratio $N/N_f$. The average gradient of ${\sigma}_r$, with respect to log N seemed to take a constant value without initial cycle ratio. On the other hand, the $N_f$ line was regressed by the first-order polynomial equation on ${\sigma}_r-log\;N_f$ diagram. Therefore, this study showed that both the gradient of ${\sigma}_r$, with respect to log N and the $N_f$ line was useful in predicting the cycle ratio $N/N_f$.

Nowadays, many components used in machinery industry is required lightness and high strength. Therefore, the effects of compressive residual stress by shot-peening which is method to improve fatigue lift of spring steel (JISG SUP-9), which used in suspension of automobile, on fatigue crack growth characteristics was investigated with considering fracture mechanics. So, we can obtain followings 1. The fatigue crack growth rate on stage II is conspicuous with the size of compressive residual stress and is dependent on Paris equation. 2. Although the maximum compressive residual stress is deeply and widely formed from surface, fatigue life does not improve than when maximum compressive residual stress is formed in surface. 3. The threshold stress intensity factor range is increased with increasing compressive residual stress. 4. In fracture surface of fatigue crack growth it is investigated that compressive residual stress remarkably retards fatigue crack growth.

Railway wheels and axles belong to the most critical components in railway vehicles. The service conditions of railway vehicles became more severe in recent years due to the increase of speed. Therefore, a more precise evaluation of wheelset life and safety has been requested. Wheel/rail contact fatigue and thermal cracks due to braking heat are two main mechanisms of the railway wheel failure. In this paper, an evaluation procedure for the contact fatigue life of railway wheel is proposed. One of the main sources of the contact zone failure is the residual stress. The residual stress on wheel is formed during the manufacturing process which includes a heat treatment, and then is changed by contact stress developed by wheel/rail contact and thermal stress induced by braking. Also, the cyclic stress history for fatigue analysis is determined by applying finite elements analysis for the moving contact load. The objective of this paper is to estimate fatigue life by considering residual stress due to heat treatment, braking and repeated contact load, respectively.

The static and fatigue tests have been carried out to verify the validity of a generalized residual strength degradation model. And a new method of parameter determination in the model is verified experimentally to account for the effect of tension-compression fatigue loading of spheroidal graphite cast iron. It is shown that the correlation between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction on the statistical distribution of fatigue life by using the proposed method is very reasonable. Furthermore, it is found that the correlation between the theoretical prediction and the experimental results of fatigue life in case of tension-tension fatigue data in composite material appears to be reasonable. Therefore, the proposed method is more adjustable in the determination of the parameter than maximum likelihood method and minimization technique.

In the study, the fatigue strength improvement and mechanism have been estimated by the Spot-Heating treatment on welded bead toes. For this, web-gusset specimens were made without residual stresses and the others with residual stresses imposed by Spot-Heating. The 4-point bending tests were performed in order to estimate the effect of spot-heating on fatigue strength and fatigue characteristics quantitatively for non load-carrying fillet welded joints subjected to pure bending. As a result of fatigue test, fatigue strength of As-Welded specimen for non load-carrying fillet welded joints subjected to pure bending has satisfied the grade of fatigue prescribed in specifications of korea, AASHTO and JSSC. As compare with As-Welded specimen and Spot-Heating specimen have increased about 20% for the fatigue strength at $7.7{\times}10^6$ cycles. The Spot-Heating by reformation of the residual stress on welded bead toes has greatly affected the fatigue crack propagation life, but has slightly affected the fatigue crack initiation life.

In this paper, we propose a new energy-efficient routing algorithm for sensor networks that selects a least energy consuming path among the paths formed by node with highest remaining energy and provides long network lifetime and uniform energy consumption by nodes. The pair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. Simulation results show that our algorithm extends the network lifetime and enhances the network reliability by maintaining relatively uniform remaining energy distribution among sensor nodes.

An evaluation of fatigue life of welded components is complicated due to various geometrically complex welding details and stress raisers in vicinity of weld beads, ego under cuts, overlaps and blow holes. These factors have a considerable influence on the fatigue strength of welded joints, as well as the welding residual stress which is relaxed depending on the distribution of local stress at the front of the stress raisers. To reasonably evaluate fatigue life, the effect of geometries and welding residual stress should be taken into account. The several methods based on the notch strain approach have been proposed in order to accomplish this. These methods, however, result in differences between analytical and experimental results due to discrepancies in estimated amount of relaxed welding residual stress present. In this paper, an approach that involves the use of a modified notch strain approach considering geometrical effects and a residual stress relaxation model based on experimental results was proposed. The fatigue life for five types of representative welding details, ego cruciform, cover plate, longitudinal stiffener, gusset and side attachment joint, are evaluated using this method.

회전기계에서 발생하는 진동 원인 중 약 60% 이상이 불평형(unbalance)에 의한 진동이다. 불평형은 기계의 과도한 진동을 유발시킬 뿐 아니라 베어링의 수명 단축 및 소음을 발생시킨다. 따라서, 기게의 수명을 연장시키고, 기계의 성능을 향상시키며 부드럽고 진동이 없는 운전을 위하여 평형잡이(balancing)는 절대적으로 중요하다. 불평형은 축 중심선에 대하여 회전체의 질량 분포가 비대칭이기 때문에 발생하는데 그 원인으로는 부품 자체가 비대칭에서 오는 설계 또는 제도 오차, 주물의 기포 및 용접의 불균일 등에 의한 재질상의 결함, 그리고 부품조립시 형상누적공차 등에 의한 가공.조립오차 등이 있다. ISO의 정의에 따르면 평형잡이는 회전체의 질량 분포를 조사하고 필요하다면 저널의 진동과 베어링의 작용력들이 운전속도에 대응하는 주파수에서 특정한 한계내에 있도록 보증하게 하기 위한 조정을 하는 과정이다. 불평형 상태에 대한 조사도 평형잡이로 표현된다. 그러나 수정이 필요하다고 간주된다면 수행된다. 모든 회전체는 초기 불평형(initial unbalance)이라 불리는 임의의 불평형을 가지고 출발한다. 완벽하게 평형이 잡힌 회전체를 달성하는 것이 평형잡이 작업의 목적은 아니다. 임의의 잔류 불평형(residual unbalance)은 항상 허용된다. 경제적인 이유에서 회전체는 일반적으로 요구되는 적절한 허용치보다 더 이상 평형잡이를 하지 않는다. 현장에서 현장 평형잡이를 수행하게 될 경우, 가끔 계산된 수정질량이 매우 클 경우가 있다. 이때 기게의 조건상 큰 수정질량을 부착하기가 곤란한 경우가 자주 발생한다. 작은 수정질량으로 평형잡이를 할 수 있다면 기계의 안정성 면에서 매우 유리하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영향계수법(Influence Coefficient Method : ICM)의 기본 개념과 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm : GA)을 이용하여 회전기계의 안정성을 보장할 수 있는 허용진동 내에서의 최적 수정질량 계산법을 제시한다.
