In this study, the wedge splitting tcst (WST) was carried out for the fatigue wack growth behavior of concrete. Selected test variables were concrete compressive strength of 28, 60 and 118 MI%, and stress ratio with 2 levels (6. 13%). In oder to make the designed stress ratio, the maximum and thr minimum fatigue loading level were 75-85% and 5- 10% of ultimate static load, respectively. Fatigue testing was preceded by crack mout.h opening displacement (CMOI)) compliance calibration tcst, and then the fatigue crack growth was computed by crack lcngth vs. (lMOI) compliance relations acquisited by the CMOD compliance calibration technique. To evaluate thc validity of CMOD compliancc calibration techniquc, the crack length p~mlicted by this method was cornpard with the crack length by linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFIbl) and dyeing test. On the basis of the experimental results, a LRFhl-based c.mpirica1 model for f'at,igue crack growth rate(da/dN-AKI relationships) was presented. The fat,igut. crack growth ratc increased with the strength of concwtc. It appcars that t.he da/tiN-AKI relationships was influenced by stress ratio, however, the effect is diminished with an increase of strength. The comparisons between CblOl) compliance calibration technique anti the other. methods gave the validity of' ('MOD compliance calibration technique for the LZXT.

In this paper, the effects of the system parameters on the high cycle fatigue life based on structural dynamic analysis of a turbine blade are investigated. Conventional studies have forcused on the fatigue life of turbine blades with specific system parameters. However, each parameter has statistical deviation because of inhomogeneity of material property, tolerance, and operating conditions. Therefore a methodology that estimates the effects of system parameter on the fatigue lift deviation is demonstrated.

The strength of material is scattered owing to the inhomogenity of microstructure, in spite of the same material. Therefore, in order to design the mechanical structure with the reliability engineering, it is important to grasp the statistical nature of material strength. In this paper, effects of grain sezes for the statistical nature of the fatigue crack growth was discussed. And the statistical nature of mechanical properties was compared with the statistical nature of the fatigue crack growth rate.

용접구조물에서 용접이음부가 차지하는 비율은 매우 작은 경우가 많지만 용접이음부에는 각종 초기결함(이들 결함으로부터 진전하는 피로 균열, 환경에 의한 균열등을 포함) 및 용접 초기의 부정형을 비롯해서 형상적 불연속 등에서 유기되는 국부적인 응력, 변형률의 집중, 잔류응력, 구속응력, 용접금속이 갖는 숙명적인 야금적 특성의 불균일, bond부 및 HAZ부에서의 용접열 싸이클에 의한 재질의 국부적 강도저하등 용접부의 강도를 저하시키는 인자들이 복합되기 쉽고, 용접구조물 전체의 내파괴 건전성평가에서 용접부가 파괴 강도는 매우 중요하다. 용접구조물의 설계, 시공의 목적은 소요성능의 확보에 있고 구조물이 사용중에 성능손실이나 불안정 파괴가 발생하지 않도록 하는 것이 주요요건이 될 것이다. 현재의 제강기술수준에서 볼 때 모재의 강 도보다 오히려 용접부의 강도 특히 피로강도 및 파괴 인성을 적절하고 합리적으로 평가하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 용접부의 강도를 평가하는데 있어서 용접부에 발 생하는 용접결함에 대한 평가는 매우 중요하며 이들 결함에 대한 허용결함한계를 평가하여 보수 여부 및 용접구조물의 신뢰성을 평가 할 필요가 있다.

In this study, the effect of hydrogen absorbed in welding process on the fatigue behaviour of the weld bond was quantitatively made clear. The influence of cyclic loading rate on the fatigue characteristics of the manual arc weld bond was inspected under the condition of constant amount of hydrogen. Moreover, the fatigue cracking mechanism concerning the diffusible hydrogen in the welded part was discussed in connection with fractographs of the fracture surfaces.

Since the propagation of a short fatigue crack is directly related to the large crack which causes the fracture of bulk specimen, the detailed study on the propagation of the short crack is essential to prevent the fatigue fracture. However, a number of recent studies have demonstrated that the short crack can grow at a low applied stress level which are predicted from the threshold condition of large crack. In present study, the threshold condition for the propagation of short fatigue crack is examined with respect to the microstructure and cyclic loading history. Specimens employed in this study were decarburized eutectoid steels which have various decarburized ferrite volume fraction. Rotating bending fatigue test was carried out on these specimens with the special emphasis on the '||'&'||'quot;critical non-propagating crack length.'||'&'||'quot; It is found that the reduction of the endurance limit of their particular microstructures can be due to the increase of the length of critical non-propagating crack, and the quantitative relationship between the threshold stress .DELTA. .sigma. $_{th}$ and the critical non-propagating crack length Lc can be written as .DELTA. .sigma. $_{th}$, Lc=C where m, C is constant. Further experiments were carried out on the effect of pearlitic structure and cyclic loading history on the length of critical non-propagating crack. It is shown that the length of critical non-propagating crack is closely related to both pearlite interlamellar spacing and cyclic loading history.ory. cyclic loading history.

Numerical analyses have been carried out in order to check the applicability of high-strength steel to a medium-sized steel bridge. Using the yield strength of steel, Average Daily Truck Traffic (ADTT), and fatigue grade of structural detail as analytical parameters, the minimum weight sections that satisfy the limit states of the AASHTO LRFD design specification were determined through an optimization scheme. Likewise, the effects of the number of girders and span length on the applicability of high-strength steel were evaluated. Results show that high-strength steel may be employed in the steel bridge, since steel weight decreases with increasing yield strength regardless of the fatigue effect. Nonetheless, appropriate countermeasures against fatigue should be determined since it is a major factor in the effective use of high-strength steel in steel bridges.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between Asthenopia of near lateral phoria and fusional reserve and also to provide fundamental clinical data. A total of 97 subjects, aged between 17 and 35 years old, who had no strabismus, an eye trouble or whole body disease, were examined nacked visual acuity, corrected visual acuity, corrected diopter, phoria, fusional reserve tests from October of 2005 to July of 2006. We excluded 8 subjects for the following reasons: if they had an amblyopia affecting binocular vision or inaccurate data. After these exclusions, 87 subjects remained. The results were as follow. According to interview results was that in near works, exophoria and esophoria with asthenopia was 59.6%, 64.7%, and 52.6% respectively. The subjects who have exophoria of $0-6{\Delta}$ in the range of normal state was 19.1%. The subjects who have exophoria of $7{\Delta}$ over in the range of abnormal state was 80.9%. The fusional reserve was in inverse proportion to phoria. The fusional reserve was twice over of phoria were 30.3%, and twice under were 69.7%. The asthenopia complain persons were 33.9% with the twice over fusional reserve of phoria. The asthenopia no complain persons were 66.1% with the twice under fusional reserve of phoria. In conclusion, our research has shown conclusively that there is a link between asthenopia of lateral phoria and fusional reserve and we also find that fusional reserve must be examined when we prescribe for a patient who has phoria.

Bridge redundancy is defined as the capability of a bridge to sustain loads after one of its main members incurs damage. It is affected by many parameters, including the number of girders, span length, girder height, internal supports, and secondary members. The present AASHTO and Korean Bridge design codes, however, define bridge redundancy only as the number of girders, and neither the evaluation method nor the required level of redundancy is given. This study presented a redundancy evaluation method for plate girder bridges with severe fatigue damage based on the reliability method,by considering the essential parameters. A required level of redundancy was also proposed as a target system reliability index from the load capacity analysis and reliability analysis of the basis bridge designed by LRFD. Finally, the level of redundancy of simple and continuous plate girder bridges with a variable number of girders designed by ASD was evaluated and presented.
