A systematic procedure to evaluate fatigue damages and to predict remaining fatigue lives is introduced for a steel railway bridge. Fatigue damages are evaluated by using the currently available fatigue damage theory. Fatigue lives with the condition of fatigue crack initiation are estimated by the probabilistic approach based on the reliability theory as well as the simplified procedure. A equivalent deterministic procedure is also suggested to assess the remaining fatigue life under various traffic conditions. Numerical simulations are used to assess dynamic stress histories with correction factors. Loading models are obtained from the passenger volume data. Train coincidences are also considered. Based on the results, the fatigue life is found to be underestimated by without considering the coincidence of trains on the bridge. The simplified method proposed in this study are found to yield approximately the same results as the systematic procedure.

Bending fatigue of aluminium alloy was characterized by acoustic nonlinearity of narrow band laser-generated surface wave. The higher harmonic components generated intrinsically by arrayed line laser beam were analyzed theoretically and acoustic nonlinearity was measured successfully on the surface of fatigue damaged aluminium 6061 alloy. The acoustic nonlinearity increased as a function of fatigue cycles and has close relation with damage level. Consequently, the nonlinear acoustic technique of laser-generated surface wave could be potential to characterize surface damages subjected to fatigue.

A correlation between fatigue damage and acousto-ultrasonic (AU) parameters has been obtained from signals acquired during fatigue loading of the single-lap joints of a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates and A16061 plate. The correlation showed an analogy to those representing the stiffness reduction $(E/E_0)$ of polymer matrix composites by the accumulation of fatigue damage. This has been attributed to the transmission characteristics of acoustic wave energy through bonded joints with delamination-type defects and their influence on the change of spectral content of AU signals. Another correlation between fatigue cycles and the spectral magnitude of acoustic emission (AE) signals has also been found during the final stage of fatigue loading. Both AU and AE can be applied almost in real-time to monitor the evolution of damage during fatigue loading.

In order to determine the mode I stress intensity factor ($K_I$) by means of the alternating current potential drop(ACPD) technique, the change in potential drop due to load for a paramagnetic material containing a two-dimensional surface crack was examined. The cause of the change in potential drop and the effects of the magnetic flux and the demagnetization on the change in potential drop were clarified by using the measuring systems with and without removing the magnetic flux from the circumference of the specimen. The change in potential drop was linearly decreased with increasing the tensile load and was caused by the change in conductivity near the crack tip. The reason of decreasing the change in potential drop with increasing the tensile load was that the increase of the conductivity near the crack tip due to the tensile load caused the decreases of the resistance and internal inductance of the specimen. The relationship between the change in potential drop and the change in $K_I$ was not affected by demagnetization and was independent of the crack length.

The prediction and analysis procedure of fatigue damage crack growth life for a stiffener bonded composite laminate panel including center hole and edge notch damage, was studied. It was performed on the basis of fatigue damage growth test results on a laminated skin panel specimens and the analysis results of stress intensity factor for the stiffener bonded composite panel. According to the comparison between experimental test and prediction results of fatigue damage growth life, it was concluded that the residual strength and damage tolerance assessment can be carried out along to the edge notch crack growth.

최근들어 반복하중에 의한 철근콘크리트 구조물의 손상이 자주 발견되고 있으며 교량 등의 구조물 등은 때때로 과적차량에 의한 초과하중을 받아 이러한 피로손상이 심화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 반복 하중을 받는 철근 콘크리트보의 누적피로손상에 대한 실험적 연구룰 수행하여 피로하중에 의한 철근콘크리트보의 손상과정을 규명하였다. 실험 변수를 전단철근의 양과 반복되는 하중의 크기 및 반복횟수로 하여 실험부재를 제작하였으며, 하중제어에 의한 휨시험법에 의해 3Hz의 반복하중을 시편에 재하하였다. 사인장 균열하중과 사인장 균열 후 반복하중에서의 보의 손상누적거동 즉 처짐. 전단철근의 변형도, 에너지 손실 등의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였으며, 이를 통하여 반복하중에 의한 누적손상에 의해 철근 콘크리트보의처짐 및 전단변형도가 초기하중상태에서는 급격히 증가하다가 이후 점진적으로 증가하는 것을 규명하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용하중상태에서 점진적으로 발생할 수 있는 피로손상의 누적과정을 기술하여 주고 있다.

Composite rotor blades for rotorcraft have an intrinsic vulnerability to foreign object impact from its inherent structural characteristics of insufficient strength in the thickness direction, which may easily lead to internal structure damage. Therefore, defects and strength reducing effects caused by foreign object impact should be considered in fatigue evaluation of composite blades. For this purpose, the flaw tolerant safe-life and fail-safe concepts were adopted in fatigue evaluation since 1980s, and recently those concepts have been replaced by the damage tolerance concept. In this paper, the relevant standards for fatigue evaluation are analyzed focusing on fiber reinforced composite rotor blades used in rotorcraft. In addition, fatigue evaluation procedure of composite blades considering impact damages is proposed by reviewing the practices implemented through domestic development projects.

대부분의 금속 재료는 제조 공정 중에 인장, 압축, 압연, 압출, 인발 등 소성 변형을 수반하는 가공의 단계를 거치게 된다. 가공 단계에서 가해준 변형률 및 이에 따라 형성된 전위구조 등은 생산재의 기계적 성질에 많은 영향을 미친다. 그리고 소성 변형이 수반되는 또 하나의 과정은 피로, 크리프 손상 등의 소성 변형을 수반하게 되는 기계적 손상이다 이러한 기계적 손상에 의해서도 전위가 도입되며, 전위의 집적부위에서 균열이 생성되기도 한다. 따라서 기계적 손상을 비파괴적으로 평가하는데 있어서도 소성 변형의 영향을 파악하는 것이 하나의 중요한 문제가 된다.(중략)

과적차량의 통행에 의한 교량구조물의 손상도를 평가하는 방법의 개발이 매우 활발하다. 본 연구에서는 과거 15년동안 통행한 교통데이타를 분석하고, 이 데이타를 근거로 교량의 손상도를 분석한다. 차량의 분류는 4종으로 대표하여 차량하중을 분석하였으며 해석시에는 이를 대표하는 2종을 사용하였다. 3차원해석을 통하여 구한 영향면을 이용하여 부재력을 계산하고 이를 이용하여 등가응력범위를 구한다. 이 결과는 모형실험을 통하여 구한 피로결과와 비교하였다. 분석결과 설계하중을 초과하는 과적차량이 교량에 미치는 손상정도는 적은 통행빈도에도 불구하고 매우 큼을 알 수 있고, 이러한 실제교통량의 분석을 통한 교량의 손상평가방법은 과적차량에 의한 교량손상정도를 유용하게 평가할 수 있다.
