Fatigue has been known as a major degradation mechanism of ASME class 1 components in nuclear power plants. Fatigue damage could be accelerated by combined interaction of several loads and environmental factors. However, the environmental effect is not explicitly addressed in the ASME S-N curve which is based on air at room temperature. Therefore many studies have been performed to understand the environmental effects on fatigue behavior of materials used in nuclear power plants. As a part of efforts, we performed low cycle fatigue tests under various environmental conditions and analyzed the environmental effects on the fatigue life of SA508 Gr. 1a low alloy steel by comparing with higuchi's model. Test results show that the fatigue life depends on water temperature, dissolved oxygen and strain rate. But strain rate over 0.4%/s has little effect on the fatigue life. To find the cause of different fatigue life with ANL's and higuchi's model, another test performed with different heat numbered and heat treated materials of SA508 Gr. 1a. On a metallurgical point of view, the material with bainite microstructure shows much longer fatigue life than that with ferrite/pearlite microstructure. And the characteristics of crack propagation as different microstructure seem to be the main cause of different fatigue life.

가스터빈엔진의 가장 핵심 부품인 디스크와 블레이드는 고온, 고압축비, 고속 회전이라는 가혹한 환경에서 지속적으로 운용된다. 이러한 가혹한 환경과 디스크와 블레이드가 가지는 큰 회전 에너지로 인해 디스크 및 블레이드에 의해 유발되는 파손은 항공기 손상 혹은 탑승자의 피해로 이어지는 재해적 고장 혹은 한계 고장으로 이어진다. 그러므로 디스크와 블레이드의 구조적 건전성의 마진을 충분히 확보하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 디스크의 취약 부위인 도브테일의 형상을 최적화하고, 그 해의 강건성을 확인하기 위해 치수 공차와 피로 수명의 산포와 같은 불확실성에 대하여 신뢰도 해석을 수행하고자 한다. 이 결과를 통해 결정론적 방법인 최적설계의 필요성과 함께 한계를 확인하고, 향후 신뢰도 기반 최적설계의 필요성을 인지하고자 한다. 이를 위해 비선형 열-구조 연성해석과 접촉 해석을 포함한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다.

단거리와 달리 장거리 수중 음향 통신에서는 전파 손실을 최소화하기 위해 저주파 신호와 심해 음파 채널을 사용한다. 이 경우 대역 확산과 같은 은밀 통신 기법을 이용하더라도 통신 사실을 숨기기 어려우며, 통신 신호가 탐지 신호처럼 작용하므로 감청기에 수중 운동체의 존재가 노출될 수 있다. 수중 운동체의 경우 은밀성 유지가 매우 중요하므로, 감청기가 통신 신호를 이용하여 아군 수중 운동체를 탐지할 가능성을 반드시 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 수중 운동체의 피탐지 성능 분석을 위한 장거리 수중 음향 통신 환경을 모델링하고, 피탐지 성능 분석을 위한 관심영역 설정 방법과 평가 척도를 제안하였다. 전산 모의 실험을 통해 파라미터를 산출하고, 관심영역에서 피탐지 확률 분석 및 피탐지 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과는 제안된 수중 운동체의 피탐지 성능 분석 방법이 장거리 수중 통신 장비의 운용에 있어 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음을 보였다.

Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were carried out to investigate the effect of loading direction on the cyclic deformation behavior and fatigue resistance of rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy. The as-received alloy showed a strong basal texture indicating that the most of basal planes of hexagonal close-packed structure were located parallel to the rolling direction. Two types of specimens whose loading directions were oriented parallel (RD) and vertical (ND) to the rolling direction. respectively, were used for the comparison. It was found that RD specimens yielded at much lower stresses during compression, while vice versa for the ND specimens, which was mainly attributed to the formation of primary twins. This anisotropic deformation behavior resulted in the different mean stresses during the cycling of RD and ND specimens, affecting the fatigue resistance of two specimens. The ND specimen showed a superior fatigue resistance as compared to the RD specimen under strain-controlled condition.

A correlation between the low-cycle fatigue life and the scuffing-failure life is demonstrated using the plastic strain increment in boundary lubricated sliding. Loadings proportional to hardness with three different lubricated conditions were used to evaluate the plastic strain increments. As the results of scuffing tests using vacuum pump oils in nitrogen gas, plastic strain increment shows 0.0062, and in the mineral oils and commercial engine oils in air, plastic strain increments show 0.0042 and 0.00092. Those are very useful to describe quantitatively the real lubricated sliding conditions, and are very effective to find the relation between the low-cycle fatigue life and the scuffing-failure life.

Railway wheelset is the most essential part which undergoes severe cyclic loadings. In recent years, there has been increasing need for insuring the safety of running as the speed of the railway vehicles is getting higher. So it is required on the assessment of fatigue characteristics of the wheelset to consider plastic deformation which might be probable in the severe loading condition. In this study, total-strain controlled low cycle fatigue(LCF) test were performed to observe the LCF behaviors of the railway wheels and axles using companion specimens method. From the experimental results, the cyclic mechanical properties have been evaluated and total strain amplitude versus life relationship have been derived using the empirical Coffin-Manson law.

A design process and an axisymmetric boundary integral equation method for precise structural analysis of the aircraft gas turbine rotor disk were developed. This axisymmetric boundary integral equation method for stress and steady-state thermal analysis was improved in solution accuracy by appling an implicit technique for Cauchy principal value evaluation, a subelement technique for weak singular integral evaluation and a double exponentical integral technoque for internal point solution near boundary surfaces. Stresses, temperatures, low cycle fatigue lifes and critical speeds for the turbine rotor disk of the thrust 1421 N class turbojet engine were analysed in a pratical calculation model problem.

The effects of severe plastic deformation by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent heat treatment on the low cycle fatigue behaviors of Al-Mg-Si alloy were investigated. The specimens which were peak aged at $175^{\circ}C$ after solution treatment showed cyclic hardening at all strain amplitudes, while the specimens ECAPed after solution treatment showed cyclic softening at all strain amplitudes during fatigue. The specimens aged at $100^{\circ}C$ after ECAP showed slight cyclic hardening. Various changes of cyclic fatigue behavior after severe plastic deformation and/or heat treatment were discussed in terms of the microstructural changes and precipitation conditions.

압전 구동기(Piezo actuator)는 수 나노미터 수준의 위치정밀도와 고분해능을 가지고 있으나 비선형 특성인 히스테리시스(Hysteresis)는 정상상태에서 위치 오차를 발생하는 주요 원인이 된다. 현재까지 히스테리시스를 보상하기 위해 피 프 포워드 제어 방법, Pl 제어 방법, $H_{\infty}$제어 방법 등이 연구되어 왔지만 저주파 대역의 외란(disturbance)까지 고려하여 시스 템을 주파수 영역에서 설계, 분석하는 방법에 대한 연구는 미흡하였다. 본 논문은 압전 구동기의 위치 제어를 위한 제어기의 설계와 이를 주파수 영역에서 분석하는 내용을 다룬다. 제어기의 설계는 히스테리시스를 보상하기 위해 극점 배치 방법과 외란 관측기(Disturbance observer)를 기본으로 하였으며 적분제어를 적용하여 시스템 민감도(sensitivity)를 개선하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 설계한 제어기가 히스데리시스에 대한 보상과 민감도의 개선에 효율적임을 검증하였다.

Tensile and LCF(low cycle fatigue) tests were carried out in air at wide temperature range 20$^{\circ}C$-750$^{\circ}C$ and strain rates of 1${\times}$10$\^$-4//s-1${\times}$10$\^$-2/ to ascertain the influence of strain rate on tensile and LCF properties of prior cold worked 316L stainless steel, especially focused on the DSA(dynamic strain aging) regime. Dynamic strain aging induced the change of tensile properties such as strength and ductility in the temperature region 250$^{\circ}C$-600$^{\circ}C$ and this temperature region well coincided with the negative strain rate sensitivity regime. Cyclic stress response at all test conditions was characterized by the initial hardening during a few cycles, followed by gradual softening until final failure. Temperature and strain rate dependence on cyclic softening behavior appears to result from the change of the cyclic plastic deformation mechanism and DSA effect. The DSA regimes between tensile and LCF loading conditions in terms of the negative strain rate sensitivity were well consistent with each other. The drastic reduction in fatigue resistance at elevated temperature was observed, and it was attributed to the effects of oxidation, creep and dynamic strain aging or interactions among them. Especially, in the DSA regime, dynamic strain aging accelerated the reduction of fatigue resistance by enhancing crack initiation and propagation.
