Fretting damage can be observed in automobile and railway vehicle, fossil and nuclear power plant, aircraft etc. In the present study, railway axle material RSA1 used for evaluation of fretting fatigue life. Plain and fretting fatigue tests were carried out using rotary bending fatigue tester with proving ring and bridge type contact pad. Through these test, the following results are obtained: 1) it is found that the fretting fatigue limit of standard specimen decreased about 37% compared to the plain fatigue limit. 2) The early crack of Shinkansen type specimens initiated in contact area and final fractured below samp=214 MPa. 3) The early crack of all TGV type specimens initiated in rounded area and fractured. 4) Tire tracks and rubbed scars were observed in the oblique crack region and fatigue crack growth region of fracture surface. 5) The wear debris is observed on the contact surface, and oblique cracks at an earlier stage are initiated in contact area. These results can be used as useful data in a structural integrity evaluation of railway axle.

In this study, using high cycle fatigue (HCF) criteria, the simulation of rolling contact fatigue is conducted under elliptical contact. The HCF criteria fall into three categories: the critical plane approach, the stress invariant approach and the approach based on the mesoscopic scale. The accurate calculation of contact stresses and subsurface stresses is essential to the prediction of crack initiation life. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions and the subsurface stress field is obtained using rectangular patch solutions. The simulation results show that the critical load is decreasing rapidly and the site of crack initiation also moves rapidly to the surface from the subsurface when the friction coefficient exceeds a specific value for all of three fatigue criteria.

본 논문에서는 비닐절연코드의 기계적 피로에 의한 소손패턴과 화재위험성에 대하여 실험, 분석하였다. 비닐절연코드는 2중의 절연피복으로 되어 있으며 도체는 여러 가닥의 소손들로 구성되어 있다. 비닐코드는 반복적인 구부림이나 인장등 기계적 피로에 의해 피복 내 도체가 손상을 입게 되며 전기가 흐르고 있는 상태에서 끊어진 소선들이 접촉과 끊어짐을 반복함으로써 아크와 열이 발생하며 이때 발생한 마크와 열에 의해 피복이 탄화되어 결국에는 착화됨을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 기계적 피로에 의한 국부 발열과 화재 예방을 위한 기술개발이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

An elastic-plastic finite element analysis is performed to investigate detailed closure behaviour of fatigue cracks in residual stress fields and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The finite element analysis performed under plane stress using contact elements can predict fatigue crack closure behaviour. The mesh of constant element size along crack surface can not predict the opening level of fatigue crack. Specially, the mesh of element sizes depending upon the reversed plastic zone size included the effect of crack opening point can precisely predict the opening level. By using the concept of the mesh of element sizes depending upon the reversed plastic zone size included the effect of crack opening point, the opening level of fatigue crack can be determined very well.

The analysis and experimental results for the bellows of gasgenerator liquid oxygen shut-off valve are presented. The analyses are performed using EJMA (Expansion Joint Manufacturing Association) standard and the commercial FE (finite element) analysis program, Abaqus v6.9, at room and cryogenic temperatures. The results include the spring rate, the stress and the fatigue life of the bellows. The effects of the contact and material plasticity on the FE analysis results are also analyzed.

21세기를 사는 우리네 자화상이다. 하루종일 휴대전화, 이메일, 메신저를 통해 대화하고 확인한다. 정보화시대를 사는 우리는 디지털 세상에 단단히 접속되어 있음을 수시로 확인해야 직성이 풀린다. "나는 접속한다. 고로 존재한다"라는 명제는 진부할 정도다. 존재의 당위를 넘어 가히 집착의 수준이다. 디지털 문명의 노예가 되어버린 것이다. 20세기는 '접속' 이라는 단어가 모든 것을 가능케 해 줄 것만 같았던 시기였다. 21세기가 되자 접속이 중독을 낳는 상황이 초래되었다. 바로 이 지점에서 문제가발생한다. 인간의 심성구조, 생활패턴에서부터 사회구조에 이르기까지 우리 사회가 디지털 문명의 소용돌이에 휘몰리는 상황, 이른바 디지털 신드름에 빠지게 된 것이다. 그 속에서 살아가는 우리는 디지털 피로, 디지털 스트레스를 만성적으로 겪고 있다.

실감 통신의 구현을 위해서는 의사 소통 상대자가 서로 얼굴을 맞대고 이야기하는 것과 같은 분위기를 통신 단말을 통해 구현이 가능해야 하며, 상대방과의 상호작용도 가능해야 한다. 이러한 통신단말을 구현하기 위한 기본 조건은 연속시차에 기반한 눈에 피로감을 주지 않는 3차원 영상과 이들 영상과 접촉 및 분위기 전달이 가능한 감성 및 오감 수수 기술의 개발에 의해서만 충족된다. 이들 감성 및 오감 수수가 가능하기 위해서는 단말 자체가 디스플레이에 다수의 센서를 융합시킨 다 기능 융합미디어의 역할을 해야 하며 눈에 피로감과 시청자의 자세제한을 요구하지 않는 3차원 영상이 이 디스플레이를 통해 표시되어야한다.

This paper reports the results of an acceleration test to predict the contact-induced failure that could occur at the cylinder-to-hole joint for the fuel rod of a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). To incorporate the fuel life of the SFR currently under development at KAERI (around 35,000 h), the acceleration test method of reliability engineering was adopted in this work. A finite element method was used to evaluate the flow-induced vibration frequency and amplitude for the test parameter values. Five specimens were tested. The failure criterion during the life of the SFR fuel was applied. The S-N curve of the HT-9, the material of concern, was used to obtain the acceleration factor. As a result, a test time of 16.5 h was obtained for each specimen. It was concluded that the $B_{0.004}$ life would be guaranteed for the SFR fuel rods with 99％ confidence if no failure was observed at any of the contact surfaces of the five specimens.

Due to aging, adhesively bonded and riveted aircraft lap joints can contain distends, cracks around rivet holes, fatigue induced flaws, and corrosion. It is required for the safety of aircraft to inspect these defects through the whole region of mint in rapid speed. Bond quality or adhesively bonded and riveted aluminum lap splice joints is investigated using non-contact remote ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Non-contact ultrasonic tests are performed using laser generation and air-coupled transducer detection. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a periodic transmission mask are used to generate a selected Lamb mode. The Lamb wave is generated on one side of the lap splice joint, propagates along the plate, interacts with the joint and is detected on the other side by a micromachined air-coupled capacitance transducer. Analysis of recorded signals allows to evaluate the condition of the bond.

Experimental verification in the rig test stage for component development is a vital link between the aeromechanical design and structural integrity validation process. Based on this premise, Non-Intrusive Stress Measuring System was adopted on the axial compressor test rig to measure the static and dynamic tip deflection of all blades by using tip-timing sensors. Through analyzing vibration characteristics, we evaluated the vibratory stresses seen on the blades fatigue critical location; detected synchronous resonances which are the source of High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) in blades; presented non-synchronous vibration response by aerodynamic excitation and individual blade mis-tuning patterns.
