This study investigated the fatigue stength of non-load carrying cruciform welded joints, which was maunfactured using the SM570 and POSTEN80 high strengh steel. Factors such as fatigue strength, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, thickness effect, and the relatioinship between the static strength and the fatigue strength were examined and compared with previous fatigue testing results. Results showed that the fatigue strength of SM570 and POSTEN80 steel are higher than the grade represented on the design specification. It is also identified the size effect and the dependence of the static stength in a few cases.

In this study, an attempt for formulating a new and simplified rectangular finite element having only four corner nodal points is made to analyze the elastic-plastic large deformation behaviour up to the ultimate limit state of plates with initial imperfections. The present finite element contains the geometric nonlinearity caused by both in-plane and out-of-plane large deformation because for very thin plates the influence of the former may not be negligible. Treatment of expanded plastic zone in the plate thickness direction of the element is simplified based upon the concept of plastic node method so that the elastic-plastic stiffness matrix of the element is derived by the simple matrix operation without performing complicated numerical integration. Thus, a considerable saving of the computational efforts is expected. A computer program is also completed based on the present formulation and numerical calculation for some examples is performed so as to verify the accuracy and validity of the program.

Aging ships can suffer structural damage due to corrosion, fatigue crack etc., and possibility of catastrophic failure of seriously damaged ships is very high. To reduce the risk of loss of ships due to hull collapse, it is essential to evaluate ultimate hull strength of aging ships taking into account various uncertainties associated with structural damages. In this paper, ultimate strength-based reliability analysis of ship structures considering wear of structural members due to corrosion is described. A corrosion rate estimate model for structural members is introduced. An ultimate limit state function of a ship hull is formulated taking into account corrosion effects. The model is applied to an existing oil tanker, and reliability index associated with hull collapse is calculated by using the second-order reliability method (SORM). Discussions on structure safety of corroded ships are made.

The optimun laminated composition of the stiffened composite plates is studied from the view point of buckling strength. The finite element method is applied to the buckling analysis of the composite plates taking into account the effect of shear deformation through the plate thickness. The stiffened plate model is discretized using plate thickness and symmetrically stacked. Parametric study is carried out for the selection of the optimum laminate structure; optimum fiber angle sequence through the thickness. Laminate structure of $[-45^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}]$, is found to give the best buckling strength. For the case of that layer number is more than eight, best result is obtained when layers of the same fiber angle are put together, leaving the laminate has the same fiber angle sequence as a whole.

풍력타워 기둥구조물에는 유지관리 등의 이유로 출입구 역할을 하는 개구부가 존재하게 된다. 다각형 타워구조물에 개구부형상이 존재하게 되면 압축좌굴 강도에 영향이 있을 것으로 예상되지만, 이를 정량적으로 평가하거나 예측하기는 용이하지 않고 간접적으로 판단할 만한 관련 기준이나 지침도 부족한 상태이다. 이에 최병호 등(2011)에서 다룬 다각형 단면 기둥구조물의 하단에 개구부를 형상화한 수치해석 모델을 수립하고 축방향 압축하중을 재하하는 탄성좌굴 해석 및 비선형비탄성해석을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 다각형 단면 기둥모델 중에서 6각형 단면모델에 관해 중점적으로 다루고 있다. 다각형 단면 기둥 해석모델은 단순한 다각형 단면 타워구조에 대해서 뿐 만 아니라, 각 subpanel에 종방향 보강재를 둔 모델에 대해서도 추가적으로 검토하였다. 개구부의 형상은 높이 2000mm, 폭 800mm이며 상하부에 만곡부를 둔 형태이다. 수치해석은 3차원 유한요소해석프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 보강방안으로는 일정범위까지의 모듈 subpanel의 판두께를 보강하는 방안과 edge stiffener를 적용하는 방안에 대해서 검토하였다. 각각의 보강방식에 따른 효과를 비교해 보기 위해 개구부가 없는 모델, 단순히 개구부만 설정한 모델, 판두께를 보강한 모델, edge stiffener로 보강한 모델에 대해 비교해석을 수행하였다. 보강재 없는 단순 다각형 타워구조 모델에 대한 해석결과로부터 개구부로 인한 강도저하는 미미한 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 종방향 보강재가 적용된 6각형 단면 타워구조 모델에서는 개구부로 인한 강도저감이 22.9%로 높게 나타났으며 상당한 영향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 개구부 주변의 판두께 보강이나 edge stiffener보강 등으로 상당한 강도향상 효과가 확인되었으나, 개구부로 인해 손실된 강도 수준을 완전히 회복하는 수준에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 다양한 보강방식에 대한 보다 포괄적인 변수연구를 통해 개구부의 영향 없이 온전한 다각형 단면 타워 구조의 극한강도에 도달되기 위한 보강 조건에 대해 검토될 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Currently, high strength steel is not used for steel bridges in Korea, except for the SM570 high strength steel in very isolated cases. The study aimed to promote the active adaptation of high strength steel for long-span steel bridges. Thus, the fatigue behavior of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel was investigated. For the experimental study, the butt welded joints samples were manufactured. Likewise, regular amplitude tensile fatigue tests were conducted. Test results, e.g., location of fatigue cracks and their propagation were compared with the findings of other researchers. After analyzing the effects of fatigue strength, e.g., static tensile strength and plate thickness of base metal, basic data for fatigue design criteria of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel were presented.
