Effects of strain hardening exponents on the behavior of fatigue crack propagation are experimentally investigated. The retardation effect of fatigue crack propagation after single overloading is investigated in relation to strain hardening exponent and crack closure. A relationship between crack opening ratio and strain hardening exponents is inspected through an examination of the crack closure behavior. An empirical equation relating retardation effect of fatigue crack propagation after single overloading, percent peak load and strain hardening exponent of materials is proposed.

재료의 피로문제에 대해서는 꽤 오래 전부터 많은 연구가 이루어져왔고, 피로의 현상파악에서부 터 피로이론의 구명, 나아가서는 실제문제로서의 피로설계, 피로수명예측 등에 기여한 업적은 아 주 크다 하겠다. 그러나 종래의 피로문제연구의 방향이, S-N 곡선에서 얻어지는 피로한계강도 (더 정확한 표현으론 피로파괴한계강동)에 바탕을 두고, 정력확적인 설계관례인 안전계수의 도입 을 빌려, 피로강도를 실용화할려는 선에서 이루어져 왔다고 보겠다. 재료의 피로한계강도란, 그 정의로 미루어, 다분히 정적으로는 극한강도 또는 피로강도의 개념에 견주어 질 수 있는 공칭응 력으로써 탄성학적으로 해석될 수도 없고, 다만 탄역성이론의 개념을 바탕으로 근사해석례만이 허용되고 있을 뿐이다. 재료에는 소위 평활재이건 절결재이건 간에 또 검출여부에 관계없이, 내외 부에 대소각종의 결함이나 역학적 불연속부가 잠재해있음은 이미 공지의 사실이며, 이들 결합, 불 연속부등이 외하중하에서 응분의 응력집중원이 되어 재료를 전반적인 파괴로 몰고 갈 수 있다 함 도, 또한 이러한 역학적거동이 피로파괴에 까지 확장해석될 수 있을 것이란 것도 이미 잘 알려져 있는 터이라 하겠다. 재료내외부의 제결합을 응력집중이 극대인 crack로 대체해서 외하중하에서 의 응력장거동을 해석한 선형탄성파괴역학(LEFM)은, 바로 이러한 실제재료의 강도설계에 보다 큰 정확성을 부여한 방법론적 학문이라 하겠고, 나아가서는 재료의 파괴기구를 파헤치는데 진일 보적인 역학적인 수법이라 하겠다. 취성파괴, 연성파괴에 바탕을 둔 파괴역학(LEFM)을 피로파괴 에 적용시키는 데는 상당한 문제점들을 수반할 것임은 충분히 인지되나, 제한된 경계조건하에서 의 적용 예는 종래의 어떤 방법에 의한 것 보다도 피로강도설계, 안전사용 피로수명예측 등에 획기적인 진전을 보여주고 있다. 파괴역학은 crack 재의 강도학이고, 더 구체적으로 음력학대계수 (stress intensity factor) K 또는 이와 연연되는 parameter 인 strain energy release rate(G), crack-tip plactic zone size r$_{p}$,.rho., crack-tip opening displacement .phi., strain intensity 등을 쓰는 재료강도학이기 때문에, 이 수법을 피로파괴에 적용시킴은, 종래의 공칭응력으로 피로 문제를 다루던 방법과는 판이하다 하겠다. 본고에선 파괴역학의 관점에서 피로구열의 안정성장을 논하고, 과거 10여년간의 피로 crack문제에 대한 연구방법, 실험방법 등을 소개하는 방향으로 고 를 진행시켜 나가겠다.

The spider of a drum washing machine receives the repeated fatigue loadings during laundering. Although the spider is designed statically safely, it often happens fatigue failure. Therefore it requires the safe design for fatigue and needs the prediction of quantitative fatigue life. The S-N diagram for a spider material is developed by fatigue test and statistical analysis. The stresses are measured directly from strain gages on the spider. To predict the fatigue life of spider, the rainflow counting method and Miner's rule are used. The data for fatigue life are analyzed statistically. From these data, reliability estimation for fatigue life can be done and also, equivalent fatigue life can be obtained. It will be applied to make and improve to a short period for design and prototype test.

Recently there has been a remarkable increase in the number of high speed and large ships and the high power involved for propulsion of above ships has brought high pitch ratio and highly skewed propeller. The recent tendency toward highly skewed propeller has increased the load on propeller blades, and the fatigue strength of propeller blades has become the critical point in design of propellers for ships. In this paper the effect of stress ratio and skew angle on the fatigue strength of highly skewed propeller, the statistical inference on the total revolutions of highly skewed propeller for 20 years under normal sea going state. and so on have been discussed. On the basis of above discussions, the highly skewed propeller blade thicknesses by the rules of classification society and the standards of manufacturer in country were compared and reviewed.

6063-T5 alloys are tested in laboratory air, water and 3% NaCl solution to investigate the effects of corrosive environment on the retardation behavior through single overload fatigue test. Also, the fatigue crack propagation and the crack closure behavior are studied. The results obtained in this experimental study are summarized as follows: 1) Behaviors of fatigue crack growth retardation are observed in water and 3% NaCl solution as they do in air. The number of delay cycles and the size of affected region by single overload decrease greatly in water and 3% NaCl compared with those in air. 2) In fractographic results, the overload marking by single overload appear remarkably in air, but indistinctly in water and 3% NaCl solution. 3) The effect of crack closure on crack propagation is most remarkable in the beginning of crack propagation. With crack propagation, the crack closure level and its effect decrease greatly.

In this study, the effects of gas ratio($N_2:H_2$) and treatment time on the fatigue fracture behavior, fatigue crack growth behavior and corrosion fatigue fracture behavior for the ion-nitrided SM45C steel were investigated. The results show that the fatigue limit and corrosion fatigue strength increased in porportion to $N_2$ gas and treatment time for all kinds of specimen, used in the experiment. Compare to the non-nitrided specimen, the fatigue limit and the corrosion fatigue strength increased about $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^7$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ at $10^6$ cycles in 3% NaCl aqueous solution, respectively. Similar results were derived with SM45C steel under Compression-Tension $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^6$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ either in 3% NaCl aqueous solution or in tap water, respectively. Ion-nitrided SM45C steel showed a slow fatigue crack growth rate at relatively low range of ${\Delta}K$ compared to the non-nitrided specimen. To the contrary, its rate increase at higher range of ${\Delta}K$.

Fatigue crack propagation behavior and the fatigue life in-high performance steel were investigated by means of fatigue crack propagation tests under constant loading conditions of 'R=0.1 and f=0.1 Hz', 'R=0.3 and f=0.3 Hz', and 'R=0.5 and f=0.5 Hz' for the load ratio and frequency, respectively. A modified Forman model was developed to describe the fatigue crack propagation behavior for the conditions. The modified Forman model is applicable to all fatigue crack propagation regions I, II, and III by implementing the threshold stress intensity factor range and the effective stress intensity factor range caused by crack closure. The results show that predicted fatigue lives of Forman and modified Forman models were 8,814 and 12,292 cycles, respectively when the crack propagated approximately 5.0 mm and the load ratio and frequency were both 0.1. Comparison of the test results indicates that the modified Forman model showed much more effective fatigue crack propagation behavior in high-performance steel.

Recently drum washing machines are required to improve not only functions, but also endurance security. The spider is one of the major parts in a drum washing machine as a power transmission device. It is needed estimating for fatigue life because it rotates at high velocity when the drum washing machine works. In this study, we tried to estimate fatigue life of the Spider with CAE and verified the accuracy by comparing the CAE results with the experimental results. The estimation method of fatigue life for the spider with CAE will be applied to raise the efficiency of time and money in the design process of a new drum washing machine.
