Fatigue tests were conducted on the aluminum alloy, A7075-T6 to determine the most reliable fretting fatigue damage parameter. Specimens with grooves were used, so that either fretting fatigue crack at the pad/specimen interface or plain fatigue crack at the groove could be nucleated, depending on the pad pressure. Both the crack nucleation location and initial crack orientation were examined using optical microscopy, and the results were used to assess the reliability of the various fretting fatigue damage parameters that have been most commonly used in the literature. Finite element analysis was employed to obtain the stress and strain data of the specimen, which were needed to estimate the parameter values and the orientation of the critical plane. It was revealed that both the Fatemi.Socie and McDiarmid parameters, which assume shear-mode fatigue cracking, are the most reliable.

복합재료의 피로특성과 해석방법에 대하여 간략하게 살펴보았다. 복합재료의 피로현상에 대한 이해의 폭이 넓어짐에 따라 앞에서 소개한 방법외에 파단모드별 연구, 역학에 기초를 둔 해석법, 유한요소법의 적용, 혼성복합재료(hybrid composites)의 피로수명 예측 등의 다양한 연구가 진 행중이나, 아직 정립된 피로수명 예측식은 없다고 말할 수 있다. 재료의 손상을 나타내는 매개 변수로서 강성변화의 유용성이 밝혀진 상태이므로 앞으로 이를 이용하여 실제의 현상을 표현할 수 있는 손상함수의 구성과 피로수명 예측에 관한 연구가 수행되어야 한다.

항공기구조는 항상 피로하중에 노출되어 있고 조류충돌과 같은 불시의 상황에 의해 손상을 입을 가능성을 가지고 있어서 이에 대한 대비책을 마련하지 않으면 인명과 재산상에 막대한 손실을 초래할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 항공기가 개발되는 초기의 설계단계부터 항공기의 안전성확보가 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 피로수명예측과 손상허용설계를 해나아가는 것이 중요하며, 그 내용을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 항상 손상의 가능성을 인정하고, 이 손상이 존재하는 경우에도 항공기의 안전이 보장 되도록 설계한다. (2) 손상이 발생하면 쉽게 발견되도록 설계한다. (3) 한 부재의 손상이 전 구조물의 파괴로 이루어지지 않도록 다중하중 경로로 설계한다. (4) 손상의 가능성이 있는 부품은 특별관리한다. (5) 안전균열성장 및 잔류강도 요구조건이 충족되도록 검사계획을 수립하며, 이 검사계획에 따라 검사를 수행한다.

Fatigue damage is the phenomena which is accumulated gradually with loading cycle in material. It is represented by fatigue crack growth rate da/dN and fatigue life ratio $N/N_{f}$. Fracture mechanical parameters estimating large crack growth behavior can calculate quantitative amount of fatigue crack growth resistance in engineering material. But fatigue damage has influence on various load, material and environment. Therefore, In this study, we propose that artificial intelligent fatigue damage model can predicts fatigue crack growth rate da/dN and fatigue life ratio $N/N_{f}$ simultaneously using fracture mechanical and nondestructive parameters.

'93.4월에 고리원자력 4호기 운전중(원자로 출력 100%, 발전기 출력 975MWe) 주증기 차단밸브 (MSIV)의 닫힘으로 인해 발전소가 정지되었다. 밸브분해 점검결과 밸브스템이 Back Seat Ring 조립부위 Notch 부위에서 Steam Flow와 평행한 방향으로 절단되어, 밸브스템의 손상원인을 규명하기 위한 본 연구에서는 피로해석절차도에 따라 S-N 곡선에 근거하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 피로해석결과 밸브스템의 초기균열 생성원인은 Stem Notch 부위의 제작결함과 발전소 정지시 밸브를 급속히 닫을 때 작용하는 충격하중등에 의해 발생된 것으로 추정되며 인장평균응력과 관내 유체의 진동하중의 변동응력이 조합하여 피로균열을 가속시켜 파손을 일으킨 것으로 사교된다.

Recently in Japan, fracturing was observed on the diagonal member of a through truss bridge at the boundary region with the concrete slab. Local corrosion damage where the diagonal member was enclosed in the concrete slab is an important factor in the fracture. In this study, accelerated exposure tests were carried out on concrete-steel model specimens simulating steel members at the boundary with concrete. Fatigue tests were then performed on the corroded model specimens. Accelerated exposure tests of the S6-cycle, which is carried out on the model specimens for 150, 300, 450 and 600 da ys. Their surface geometry was then measured. From the accelerated exposure test results, change in maximum and mean corrosion depths was determined according to the testing periods. The effect of local corrosion on fatigue strength was also presented based on the fatigue test results.

The present paper focuses on the development of a realistic analysis model for the deformation calculation of reinforced concrete beams subjected to fatigue loadings. The proposed model considers the effect of cyclic creep, which arises from the repeated loading, to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete beams. A comprehensive experimental program has been set up to identify the deformation accumulation of reinforced concrete beams under repeated loadings. The major test variables were the concrete compressive strength and the magnitude of fatigue loads. The model was calibrated from the present test results. The proposed model allows more realistic analysis of reinforced concrete beams under fatigue loads, especially deformation accumulation of such beams.

A structural reliability analysis of fatigue truck model for fatigue failure of highway steel bridges was performed by applying the Miner's fatigue damage rule expressed as a function of various random variables affecting fatigue damage. Among the variables, the statistical parameters for equivalent moment, impact factor, and loadometer were obtained by analyzing recently measured domestic traffic data, whereas the parameters on fatigue strength, girder distribution factor, and headway factor of the measured data available in the literature were used. The effects of various fatigue truck models, fatigue life, ADTT, fatigue detail category, loadometer, and gross vehicle weight of fatigue truck on the reliability index of fatigue damage were analyzed. It is expected that the analytical results presented herein can be used as a basic background material in the calibration of both fatigue design truck and fatigue load factor of LRFD specification.

A reliability analysis of the fatigue failure of highway steel bridges was performed by applying the Miner's fatigue damage rule for the fatigue design truck proposed for the LRFD code and for the current DB 24 truck. The limit state function for fatigue failure is expressed as a function of various random variables that affect fatigue damage. Among these variables, the statistical parameters for the equivalent moment, the impact factor, and the loadometer were obtained by analyzing recently measured domestic traffic data, and the parameters for the fatigue strength, the girder distribution factor, and the headway factor were obtained from the measured data reported in literature. Based on the reliability analysis, the fatigue truck model for the LRFD code was proposed. After applying the proposed fatigue truck to the LRFD code, 16 composite plate and box girder bridges were designed based on the LRFD method, and the LRFD design results for the fatigue limit state were compared with those by the current KHBDC.

The oblique incidence technique for ultrasonic nonlinear characterization was studied in stainless steel 316L alloy subjected to high cycle fatigue. A dog-bone plate specimen was prepared to make different faitgue-driven deformation at each position where the stress concentration could occur in the middle of specimen. In addition to the normal transmission technique, the oblique incidence technique which is newly suggested in this study, was used to measure ultrasonic nonlinear parameter. The fatigued specimen shows higher ultrasonic nonlinear parameter than the virgin specimen for both techniques. Ultrasonic nonlinear parameter highly increases in the middle of test specimen where the stress concentration existes. Relative nonlinear parameter has strong correlation with fatigue damage. Consequently, the oblique incidence technique with longitudinal wave can be potential to characterize high cycle fatigue damage.
