Composites composed of a precipitation harden 2124 alloy matrix reinforced by SiC whiskers, which are fabricated by powder metallugy, are suscepttible to fatigue damage due to the pile-up of moving dislocation and the microcrack initiation along SiC-Al interfaces, especially at the external surfaces of a body. The initial process, such as pile-up of dislocation or microcrack, that corresponds to the stage I during fatigue failure process are too small to be detected and characterized by conventional ultrasonic technique. This paper describes the applicability of an acoustic microscope with Line-Focus-Beam(LFB) lens of 225MHz to evaluate fatigue damage of SiC whiskers reinforced Al alloy. The specimens which were 6.6mm thick, 13mm wide, and 105mm long in the gage section were fatigued in tension-tension under load control. The velocity of leaky surface and leaky pseudosurface acoustic waves are obtained by FFT analysis technique from V(z) curve which is a record of output of piezoelectric transducer. These results are discussed with the change of number of fatigue cycles. The result obtained by acoustic microscope is compared with that by ultrasonic technique generated at 5MHz with conventional surface wave transducers.

Various fatigue damages have been reported in orthotropic steel deck structures put upon girders. These damages are caused by complex behaviors of the deck, which is directly subjected to vehicle loads. To estimate the causes of fatigue cracks at the welded connected parts of the trough rib and the flor beam, and the trough rib and the deck plate, in orthotropic steel deck structures, FE analyses were first, performed in this study. Parameter studies were carried out to suggest effective structural details that consider fatigue, in which the main parameters are the thickness of the deck plate, the shape of the connection of the trough rib and the flor beam such as the slit form, and the welding length. This study suggests that the effective structural details improved the fatigue strength and discusses.

국내의 피로파괴(fatigue fracture)나 파괴역학(fracture mechanics)과 같은 분야는 많은 발전이 있었으나 손상역학(damage mechanics)분야의 발전은 미흡하여 이 분야에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여 손상역학의 역사적 배경, 용어의 정의, 현재의 연구동향, 손상역학의 적용 및 한계에 대하여 간략히 소개하고자 한다. 이 글에서는 전문학술적인 내용은 피하였으며 손상역학 분야에 관심이 있는 이들을 위하여 이 글에서 인용된 저자들의 대표적인 문헌들을 중심으로 간략히 소개하였다.

This paper presents a multi-scale progressive fatigue damage model incorporating the model for interfacial debonding between fibers and matrix. The micromechanics model for the progressive interface debonding was adopted, which defined the four different interface phases: (1) perfectly bonded fibers; (2) mild imperfect interface; (3) severe imperfect interface; and (4) completely debonded fibers. As the number of cycles increases, the progressive transition from the perfectly bonded state to the completely debonded fiber state occurs. Eshelby's tensor for each imperfect state is calculated by the linear spring model for a damaged interface, and effective elastic properties are obtained using the multi-phase homogenization method. The fatigue damage evolution formulas for fiber, matrix and interface were proposed to demonstrate the fatigue behavior of CFRP laminates under cyclic loading. The material parameters for the fiber/matrix fatigue damage were characterized using the chaotic firefly algorithm. The model was implemented into the UMAT subroutine of ABAQUS, and successfully validated with flat-bar UD laminate specimens ([0]₈,[90]₈, [30]₁₆) of AS4/3501-6 graphite/epoxy composite.

본 연구에서는 미국, 프랑스, 일본의 고온구조 설계지침서의 크립-피로 손상평가 방법을 살펴보고 고온하중을 받는 불연속 구조물에 대하여 범용 유한요소 해석코드인 ANSYS와 ABAQUS를 이용한 열전달 및 응력해석을 수행하여 각국의 코드 절차에 따른 크립-피로 손상 평가를 하였다. 이들 결과를 점소성 비탄성 구성식을 적용한 비탄성해석 결과와 비교평가하였다. 본 연구에서 분석한 불연속 구조물의 경우에 대한 평가 결과 미국의 ASME Subsection NH에 의한 방법이 비탄성 해석결과에 가장 가까운 결과를 주며, 일본의 BDS에 따른 평가방법은 적용성이 가장 편리함을 알 수 있었다.

Due to their intrinsic anisotropy, composite materials show quite complicated damage mechanism with their fiber orientation and stacking sequence and especially, their fatigue damage process is sequential occurrence of matrix cracking, delamination and fiber breakage. In the study, to propose new model capable of describing damage mechanism under fatigue loading, fatigue analysis of composite laminates based on damage mechanics, are performed. The average stress is disassembled with stress components of matrix, fiber and interlaminar interface through stress analysis. Each stress components are used to assess static damage analysis based on continuum damage mechanics (C.D.M.). Fatigue damage curves are obtained from hysteresis loop and assessed by the fatigue damage analysis. Then, static and fatigue damage analysis are combined. Expected results such as stress-cycle relation are verified by the experimental results of fatigue tests.

This paper deals with the lifetime prediction of Aircraft Flaperon Joint made of AISI 4130 steel. Reviews are performed on the published damage models at first. And three different damage models are used for predicting the fatigue life of the structure subjected to variable amplitude fatigue loading. These models require no increase in complexity of use, nor do they require additional material property or mission loading information to achieve the improved accuracy. Finally a comparison among the fatigue results is performed. It is observed that the Miner's rule could predict longer life than other cumulative damage models which take into account loads below the endurance limit.

As well as the strength check, fatigue life check is also mainly required for designing mooring lines of the floating structures. In general, forces which induce dynamic structural response significantly affect to fatigue design of the mooring lines. So, waves are mainly considered as the governing loading for fatigue design of the mooring lines. In this study, characteristics of the fatigue damage of the mooring lines for submerged floating tunnels (SFT) under irregular waves are investigated. For this study time domain hydrodynamic analysis is used to obtain motion of the tunnel and tension and stresses of the mooring lines under the specific environmental conditions. Also, the Rainflow-counting method, the Palmgren-Miner's rule, and S-N curves for floating offshore structures presented by DNV recommendation is applied to calculate the fatigue damage due to the fluctuating stresses. Referring to the design plactice of the tendon pipes for TLP (tension-leg platform), which is very similar structural system to SFT, it is assumed that a 100 year return period wave attacks the SFT systems during 48 hours and the fatigue damages due to the environmental loading are calculated. Following the analysis sequence, the effects of the tunnel draft, spacing and initial inclination angle of the mooring lines on the fatigue damage under the specific environmental loadings are investigated.

본 논문은 사하중 절감이 중요한 장지간 교량에 있어서 유리한 구조를 가지는 강바닥판의 성능 강화를 위한 수치해석 연구를 실시하였다. 이미 국내외에서는 다수의 강바닥판을 이용한 교량의 시공 사례가 많으며, 앞으로도 시공 또는 계획될 해상 장지간 교량에서도 강바닥판 교량의 사례가 많을 것으로 판단된다. 강바닥판 교량은 공기를 단축할 수 있으며, 들보의 높이가 작아서 날씬한 형상으로 할 수 있기 때문에 미관을 향상 시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 가설 공사비를 절감시킬 수 있는 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 하지만 강바닥판은 이상과 같이 장점을 갖는 구조이지만 비교적 얇은 강판을 복잡한 형상으로 용접하여 조립함에 용접 결함, 잔류응력, 면내 및 면외 변형의 발생 등의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 외국에서는 강바닥판의 피로 손상에 대한 실험 및 연구로 많은 자료를 확보하고 있으며, 국내에서도 국내 현실에 맞는 강바닥판의 피로거동 및 피로강도 향상방안에 관한 연구가 더욱더 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내교량에 적용되고 있는 구조상세 및 구조해석을 실시하여 강바닥판의 피로거동과 응력 특성을 파악하고, 피로강도를 향상하는 방법으로 Bulkhead Plate와 수직리브 형상 및 부착에 따른 거동을 분석하고, 최적상세를 도출하여 강바닥판의 적극적인 활용화에 그 목적이 있다.
