Fatigue fracture of reinforced concrete structures are characterized by considerably larger strains and microcracking as compared to fracture of R.C. structures under static loading. The strain of stirrup is increased suddenly by the occuring of inclined crack and the average strain ${\epsilon}_{\omega}$ of all stirrups in a structure at maximum load increase approximately in proportion to log N. The structures critical in longitudinal reinforcement seemed to have an endurance limit of 60~70 percent of static ultimate strengths for 1,000,000 cycles. In this test, the average fatigue strength at 1,000,000 cycles for all structures tested was approximately 65 percent of the static ultimate strength.

본 고에서는 설계자가 초기 설계시 적용할 수 있는 간이피로해석방법에 대하여 기술하였으며, 특히 선체의 각 구조상세에 대하여 산정된 응력집중계수를 이용하여 피로수명을 쉽게 평가할 수 있는 집중응력방법을 정립하였다. 이 집중응력방법을 사용하면 모든 구조상세에 대하여 한개의 S-N 선도를 적용하게 되므로 일관성 있는 피로상도해석을 수행할 수 있다. 또한 피로수명에 큰 영향을 미치는 파랑하중은 설계조건에 주어진 선급규칙에 따라 계산되어진다. 선체구조의 피로강도평가 기술은 계측, 실험, 해석 및 경험을 포함하는 광범위하고 포괄적이면서 정밀함을 요구하는 종합기술이지만 여기에는 많은 불확실성이 내포되어 있다. 따라서 이를 구명하고 모든 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 피로강도 평가기술을 개발하기 위하여는 실선계측을 통한 피로하중규명 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 피로강도 Data base개발, 균열진전해석 등 많은 과제에 대한 집중적인 연구가 계속 수행되어야 한다.

This study was performed to estimate fatigue life of polymer-modified and reinforced overlay asphalt mixtures with respect to reflection cracking in asphalt overlay pavement. In order to achieve the goal, the expedited reflection cracking test method was developed and applied to various mixtures and the results were compared one another with respect to the resistant characteristics of reflection cracking. The theoretical prediction equation of fatigue life for each mixture was suggested based on statistical analysis of experimental test results in the flexural failure mode. Since coefficients of correlation between estimated values and measured values were very high ($r^2=0.95$ or higher), the prediction model can be used for relative comparison of various pavement overlay choices to be used in the field.

In order to simulate the crack connection between cords and the interply crack growth in the belt-layer of real tire, 2 ply rubber/cord laminate specimens with exposed edges were tested in 4~11mm displacement control. Measurement of the crack connection is evaluated when crack reaches the half of the length between 45$^{\circ}$ aligned cords, and the amount of the crack growth is measured by the steel probe method. 2 dimensional analytic modeling was performed to simulate the crack connection between cords at the exposed edges. Also, the theoretical life of the specimens was calculated from the crack connection life between cords(critical value) and from the critical value to the final failure by the use of Tearing energy(T); the strain energy release per unit area of one fracture surface of a crack. Then, theoretical life was compared with those of experiments. The life prediction up to the critical value has about 20% error compared to experimental life, and up to the final failure about 65% error. Therefore, total theoretical life has about 45% error compared to the experimental life, which is conceivable in the case of rubber.

This paper develops the compliance approach to the problem of load sharing between a cracked plate and a patch used to bridge the crack. The theory is validated by using calculated stress intensity factors for the patched and unpatched case to reduce experimentally observed growth rates to common base, Calculations are then made on the effect of patch dimension on fatique life technique. The optimum design of the patch considered the life expectancy and fracture strength of the cracked structure can be performed simply by using this technique.

Fatigure crack growth from surface defects is one of the most important subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety in pressure vessels, piping systems, ship hulls and other various structures. This paper attempts to analysis some practical or general problems such as the estimation of crack growth life to penetrate the plate thickness, based on fatigure crack growth from a single surface flaw and the interaction of multiple flaws. An experiment on the coalescence of multiple undercuts was carried out under cyclic tension condition as a attempt to the analysis of multiple crack problems. It is noted that the fracture strength is characterized by the analogy to that in a single crack growth.

Austenitic stainless steels and Ni-base alloys are widely used as structural materials for major components and piping system in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). These austenitic alloys are known to be susceptible to environmental assisted cracking (EAC), such as environmentally-assisted fatigue (EAF) and primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) during long-term exposure to PWR primary water environment. In this paper, the current understanding on the phenomena and mechanisms of these EAC are briefly introduced using experimental results and literature review. The mechanisms for EAF and PWSCC for austenitic stainless steels and Ni-base alloys are discussed. Currently, austenitic stainless steels are known to be more susceptible to EAF, while less susceptible to PWSCC than Ni-base alloys. The possible explanations to such behaviors are proposed and discussed in view of the role of hydrogen and internal oxidation.

(100) single crystal Si은 좋은 anisotropy etching 성질과 기계적 강도를 가지고 있어 MEMS 구조용 소재로 사용되고 있다. (100) Si의 신뢰성 평가를 위하여 필요한 탄성계수를 측정하고 반복동작에 의한 응력에 의한 파손특성을 평가하기 위하여 micromachining을 통해 resonator를 제작하였다. Resonator의 공진주파수를 분석함으로써 탄성계수를 추하고자 하였으며 반복응력에 대한 파괴특성을 평가하기 위하여 공진 상태에서 파괴가 일어날 때까지의 사이를 수를 측정함으로써 반복음력에 대한 Si의 피로특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 (100) Si의 <110> 방향으로의 탄성 개수를 측정할 수 있었으며 Si의 미세파손의 응력에 대한 의존성을 평가할 수 있었다. 평가결과 Si의 미세파손 메커니즘은 억제된 균열의 진전에 의한 subcritical crack에 의한 피로파괴 현상보다는 과도한 스트레스에 의한 순간적인 균열전파에 의해 지배됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The aim of this study is to develop the methodology which enables to identify the mechanical properties of element such as stress intensity factor by using the AE parameters. Considering the multivariate and nonlinear properties of AE parameters such as ringdown count, rise time, energy, event duration and peak amplitude from fatigue cracks of machine element the principal component regression(PCR) and artificial neural network(ANN) models for the estimation of stress intensity factor were developed and validated. The AE parameters were found to be very significant to estimate the stress intensity factor. Since the statistical values including correlation coefficients, standard mr of calibration, standard error of prediction and bias were stable, the PCR and ANN models for stress intensity factor were very robust. The performance of ANN model for unknown data of stress intensity factor was better than that of PCR model.

Recently with the rapid development in marine and shipbuilding industries such as marine structures, ship, and chemical plants, there occurs much interest in the study of corrosion fatigue characteristics was closed up an important role in mechanical design. In this study, the 5086 Al-Alloy was tested by used of a rotary bending fatigue tester and was investigated under the environments of various specific resistance and air. The specific resistance, as a corrosion environment, was changed 15, 20, 25 and 5000$\Omega$.cm. The corrosion fatigue crack initiation sensitivity was quantitatively inspected for 5086 Al-Alloy in the various specific resistance. The experimental constants of Paris rule were examined in the various specific resistances, and the influences of load and corrosion with affect the crack growth rate were compared with. Main results obtained are as follows: (1) Number of stress cycles to corrosion fatigue crack initiation delaies and corrosion fatigue crack initiation sensitivity decreases with the increasing for the specific resistance. (2) The experimental constant m of Paris rule decreases with the decreasing for specific resistance. Hence the effect of corrosion is more susceptible than that of stress intensity factor. (3) The corrosion fatigue crack of 5086 Aluminium Alloy appears intergranular fracture. (4) Corrosion sensitivity is decreased with the increasing stress intensity factor and is nearly uniform when stress intensity factor is over 40kg.mm super(-3/2)
