The static strength and fatigue life of repaired graphite/epoxy laminates are observed using tensile coupon. The lay-up of investigated laminates was [$0^{\circ}$/$\pm$$45^{\circ}$/$90^{\circ}$]$_s$. Static strength was measured from the specimens prepared by various repair techniques such as precured-single patch, precured-double patch and cure-in-place methods. The strength was recovered to the extent of 60~80 % of unnotched case. Fatigue life was also measured from the laminates repaired with cure-in-place method. Hwang and Han's MFLPE 1(modified fatigue life prediction equation 1), which was based on the fatigue modulus degradation model and reference modulus, was chosen for fatigue life prediction of repaired specimen and compared with the conventional fatigue life equation such as S-N curve and Basquin's relation. The MFLPE 1 has better agreement with experimental data than S-N curve and Basquin's relation.

In this study, to investigate the effects of 2-step shot peening at the surface of spring steel, tests are conducted on spring steel and shot peened specimens. Various tests are accomplished to evaluate mechanical properties influenced by shot peening process, and fatigue tests are also performed to evaluate the improvement of fatigue strength. And then the residual stresses are examined. The mechanical properties of material did not change so much by shot peening. However, the fatigue strength of notched specimen remarkably increased. In the case of 1-step shot peening, fatigue strength increased by about 20％ than unpeened specimen. Especially, in the case of 2-step shot peening, fatigue strength increased by about 40％, because the residual compressive stress at surface was higher than that of 1-step shot peened specimen. The fatigue strength and life are closely related to the value and position of maximum compressive residual stress by shot peening.

Fatigue tests have been carried out to measure the degradation of the residual strength and the fatigue life in carbon/epoxy (0/45/90/-45)$_{2s}$ composite materials. Theoretical predictions of residual strength and fatigue life were compared with experimental results. Distribution characteristics were studied using the probability of failure based on the cumulative distribution function and median rand. The static ultimate strength of carbon/epoxy composites used herein is observed to be relatively higher than that of existing similar composites ; while fatigue life is shorter due to the brittleness of matrix. The fatigue life obtained in these experiments is shorter than that estimated by residual strength degradation model when the stress level above 0.6 For the stress level of 0.6, the experimental value was abruptly increased. The cumulative distribution function for the static ultimate strength is well correlated to that for the strength converted from the measured fatigue life. Also, the predicted distribution of residual strength shows good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, it is proven that the residual strength degradation model is reasonable.e.

In this study, the life evaluation due to the structural configuration of bumper attached at the front side of ATV vehicle is studied on the basis of fatigue analysis. As the purpose of this study, the characteristic of bumper exposed on the repetitive loading condition like the vibration is understood. The position of crack happened at the fatigue situation is grasped in advance and complemented in advance. It is considered that the multipurpose vehicle is designed to not be driven on the paved general road but the rough road like the unpaved load. And the weak part of bumper is understood through the study of life evaluation on this driving environment. The durability can be improved by doing the safe design of automotive bumper on the basis of the analysis result. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.

고온 사용 설비의 잔여수명을 진단하는 비파괴적인 여러 가지 방법 중에서 현장에서 간단히 측 정을 함으로써 경년열화 정도를 비교적 쉽게 알아낼 수 있는 경도법에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이 방법은 크립손상 평가뿐만 아니라 피로 손상 평가에도 사용되고 있으며 외국의 경우 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있는, 가장 보편화된 방법 중의 하나이다. 국내의 경우에도 노후화된 고온 사용 설비가 상당수되기 때문에 설비의 안전성이나 경제적인 운용을 위해서 이들의 손상 정도를 정 기적으로 진단할 필요성이 매우 크나 이에 대한 연구 성과는 외국에 비하여 미미한 편이기 때 문에 앞으로 이에 대한 많은 노력이 이루어져야 한다고 생각되나. 특히 현장에서는 휴대용 시 험기를 사용하여야 하나 수명평가에는 비커스 경도값을 사용하고 있기 때문에 이들의 경도 환 산에 대한 D/B 확충이 시급한 실정이다. 또한 기존 기술의 습득 및 손상 평가의 정확도 향상, 새로운 방법들의 개발 그리고 이들의 현장 적용 등을 위해서는 실기 사용재의 입수, 정보교환, 전문가시스템(expert system) 개발을 위한 D/B 구축 등 산 . 학 . 연의 협동이 절실히 요구된다.

This study investigated the influence of high temperature and UNSM on the fatigue behavior of Inconel 718 alloy at RT, 300, 500, and $600^{\circ}C$. Fatigue properties of Inconel 718 were reduced at high temperatures compared to those at room temperature. However, the endurance limit was similar to that of the room temperature sample at the design stress level. High-temperature fatigue characteristics of the UNSM-treated specimen were significantly improved at the design stress level as compared to the untreated specimens. Specifically, the influence of temperature on the S-N curves at the design stress level of the UNSM-treated specimen showed the tendency of longer fatigue lives than those of untreated ones. Researchers can obtain rotary fatigue test results simply by heating specimens with a halogen lamp to precise temperatures during specific operations.

Laser shock peening(LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique, and it has been successfully used to improve the fatigue performance of metallic components. It is widely known, that cracks caused by metal fatigue occur only at the location where the metal is subject to tension, and not at the location where the metal is subjected to compression. Therefore, LSP can be employed to improve fatigue life because it generates a high-magnitude compressive residual stress on the surface and interior of metallic components. In this study, we analyzed the applicability of the LSP method in improving fatigue performance and evaluated the various parameters that influence the compressive residual stress. Further, we analyzed the change in the mechanical properties such as surface dynamic stress and the compressive residual stress on the surface and interior of metallic components.

Recently, research and development has been conducted to impart high performance and functionality to concrete materials by mixing various reinforcing materials into the matrix. Ductile fiber reinforced concrete using a large amount of fibers shows a distributed multiple cracking behavior, and various studies are being conducted on this material. However, research is focused on static behavioral analysis but studies on cyclic behaviors are not sufficient. In this study, beams were made of ductile fiber reinforced concrete with various fiber contents, and static and fatigue flexural tests were performed. As a result, the effect of fiber content on the flexural behavior was analyzed. Also, the applied load level and fatigue life relationship of ductile fiber reinforced concrete was proposed. Concrete with high ductile property could be achieved with a fiber content of 2%. When 0.5% fiber was more added, the maximum flexural strength was similar, but the flexural toughness is nearly doubled. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the fatigue life of these two mixtures.

This study was Performed to evaluate applicability of color flexible pavement concrete (CFPC) for motorway pavement. Color flexible pavement has been applied to non-motorway pavements, such as pedestrian and bicycle road. Two polymers were used to modify the binder and to strengthen the stiffness of pavement mixture. Waste paper was used to prevent the asphalt of gap-grade mixture from draining. Marshall properties, indirect tensile strength(ITS), tensile strength ratio(TSR) before and after freezing-and-thawing treatment and artificial aging, permanent deformation and fatigue life were measured. Color bituminous concrete mixtures used this study had nearly the same quality in mechanical properties when compared with conventional asphalt concrete mixtures manufactured with AP-3 and all mixtures satisfied with domestic specification for motorway pavement. Therefore, it is proved that the color bituminous concrete used this study can be applied for motorway pavement.
