This study was performed to find out the relationship between farmer's syndrome and self-conscious fatigue symptoms in farmers of suburban area. The questionnaire was prepared to survey the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, farming activities, farmer's syndrome, and self-conscious fatigue symptoms of the farmers, and the survey was carried out from April 1 to June 30, 2011 by interviewing 296 farmers residing suburban area of Daejeon city. As a results, the ratio of farmers who had positive farmer's syndrome, doubtful syndrome, and no syndrome were 34.1%, 47.6%, and 18.2%, respectively. The farmer's syndrome was positively correlated with the self-conscious fatigue symptoms, and farmers with self-conscious fatigue symptoms in high risk group were at higher risk of having farmer's syndrome. The results of hierarchic multiple regression analysis indicated that sex, education, health, and self-conscious fatigue symptom were correlated with the farmer's syndrome. Among the affective factors variables, independently self-conscious fatigue symptom was the most influential. As a conclusion, the occurrence of farmer's syndrome was influenced by the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and self-conscious fatigue symptoms of the farmers. Especially, self-conscious fatigue symptom was independently influenced the occurrence of farmer's syndrome.

A fatigue analysis procedure for prestressed concrete composite girder bridges is established, which includes the time-dependent effects of component materials. The procedure can take into account the movement of neutral axis depth as crack develops and give quite good agreement with experimental results available. It is also assured that Korean Standard prestressed concrete composite girder has enough fatigue resistance. The procedure in this paper gives a way to express the fatigue capacity of prestressed concrete beams in the form of S-N curve, which can be utilized under variable amplitude fatigue load.

내피로성은 기계적 구조물로 사용되는 고분자재료에는 반드시 필요한 성질이며, 피 로거동은 재료특유의 비선형 동적 점탄특성과 아주 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 피 로과정에서의 비선형 동적 점탄특성을 정량적, 연속적으로 측정할수 있는 시험 기기와 가해 준 변형에 대한 응답 응력파의 기본 응력파(선형적 응답)로부터의 차이를 직접 측정하여 이 를 규격화한 비선형 점탄성파라미터, NVP(Nonlinear Viscoelastic Parameter)라 명명한 새 로운 평가방법을 개발하였다. 그리고 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE) 배향물을 사용하여 그 평가 방법의 타당성을 조사한 결과 피로과정에서의 비선형동적 점탄특성을 나타내는 NVP가 증 가함에 따라 재료의 피로수명은 감소하였다. 따라서 NVP가 고분자재료의 내피로성을 평가 하는 척도로서 사용가능하다는 사실이 증명되었다. 또한 각 고조파 성분에대해 조사한 결과 인장형 피로시험양식에서는 고체입자 분산계의 전단변형에서 나타난 비선형 점탄성의 결과 와는 달리 2차 성분의 크기가 가장컸으며 NVP에의 기여도도 가장 크게 나타났다. 이는 변 형양식의 차이에 따른 결과를 볼수 있다.

The fatigue strength and reliability of concrete subjected to ftexural loading is investigate. The concrete beam specimens are prepared and tested in four-point flexural loading in which the bottom fiber stress varies from zero to a predetermined maximum stress. The S-N curves are generated from these test results and an equation is obtained by regression analysis to predict the flexural fatigue strength of concrete. A method is presented to perform the probabilistic analysis on the flexural fatigue of concrete. It is shown that the Weibull distribution has physically more convincing features and may be appropriate to describe the fatigue behavior of concrete.

Life prediction and residual life prediction of structures of machines are one of the most strongly world wide needed problems as requirement in the stage of slowly developing economy which comes after rapidly and highly developing stage. For the purpose of statistical life prediction, fatigue test was conducted under the 4 stress levels, and for each stress level, about 20 specimens are used. The statistical properties of crack growth parameter m and C in the fatigue crack growth law of da/dN=C(.DELTA.K)sup m/, and the relationship between m and C, and the statistical distribution pattern of fatigue crack growth rate can be obtained by experimental results.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the fatigue life to apply the vibration fatigue analysis considering the stiffness change of the spot welding due to fatigue damage accumulation. For this, the mechanical and fatigue properties of base and spot welded standard specimens were obtained through the tensile and constant amplitude fatigue test. The transfer function of the spot-welded structure was obtained from the frequency response analysis and fatigue analyisis was performed under the condition of PSD=0.11. A vibration fatigue analysis that considered changes in the frequency response due to the fatigue damage that is, failure of some wleding point was conducted on spot-welded structure. The fatigue life of the spot-welded structure was determined by combining the transfer function, the S-N curve of the tensile-shear spot-welded joint and the input PSD.

In this study, the 4-point bending test been performed in order to estimate effect of grinding on fatigue characteristics quantitatively for as-welded specimen, grinding specimen & TIG-dressing specimen for non load-carrying fillet welded joints subjected to pure bending. As a result of fatigue tests, fatigue strength at $2{\times}106$cycles of grinding specimen and TIG-dressing specimen has been increased compared with as-welded specimen and satisfied the grade of fatigue strength prescribed in specifications of domestics and AASHTO & JSSC. As a result of beachmark test, fatigue cracks on all specimens have occurred at several points where stress

금형 내부의 마모를 줄이기 위한 경질 박막의 안정성 향상과 표면에 인가된 압축 잔류 응력이 고주기 피로 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 정밀 플라스틱 사출 금형강에 주로 사용되는 Fe-3.0%Ni-0.7%Cr-1.4%Mn-X강에 스크린 질화처리와 DLC 코팅을 시간과 단일, 복합처리의 변수를 두어 코팅하였다. PAPVD법으로 DLC($3{\mu}m$), 스크린 질화(3h, $50{\mu}m$)/DLC($3{\mu}m$) 코팅 후 고주기 피로 시험을 행하여 고주기 피로 특성을 평가하였다. 스크래치 시험, 마모 시험, 잔류응력 측정을 통해 질화 처리 여부에 따른 코팅의 안정성을 평가하였다. DLC, 스크린질화/DLC 코팅한 경우 압축 잔류 응력의 영향으로 모두 피로 수명이 향상되었고 스크린질화/DLC 코팅한 경우 그 향상폭은 더 컸다. 질화 처리 후 DLC 코팅한 경우 질화층은 버퍼레이어로 작용하여 코팅의 박리를 억제함을 확인하였다.

Boron steel sheet is suitable for fabricating automobile parts because it is very strong and has low weight. Recently, many car makers are investigating the feasibility of fabricating the chassis part of automobiles using boron steel. In order to use boron steel sheets to fabricate the chassis part of automobiles, much better material property of low cycle fatigue life as well as high formability during hot stamping is required. Therefore, the low-cycle fatigue life of hot-stamped quenched boron steel was investigated in this study. The fatigue life observed at low strain amplitude was longer than that of an as-received boron steel sheet. However, the fatigue life reduced at high strain amplitude because of the low ductility and low fracture toughness of martensite, which was produced as a result of hot stamping.

피로파괴의 발생원인을 살펴보면 다음과 같이 4가지로 구별된다. (1) 설계불량 (2) 가공불량 (3) 소재불량 (4) 부적절한 사용 그러나 현재 기계설계시 일반적으로 형상계수 및 충격계수를 포함한 안전율을 여유있게 고려하기 때문에 피로강도가 간접적으로 설계시 반영되어 피로파괴는 주로 가공이나 원소재 불량 및 사용상의 부주의에 의한 경우가 대부분이다. 즉 기계가공 도중에 노치가 유입되어 응력집중을 발생시키거나, 규정된 표면처리 혹은 열처리가 이루어지지 못해서 재료의 피로강도가 저하한 경우가 많으며, 소재 역시 비금속 개재물이 다량 함유되어 있거나 열처리 특성이 조악한 소재가 사용되어 요구되는 강도를 확보하지 못한 경우도 많다. 그 반면 사용자 측에서도 설계강도를 무시한 과부하를 인가하거나, 부식환경 혹은 고온에서 사용하여 피로파괴를 촉진시키는 경우도 있으므로 사용자도 설계조건을 인식하여 그 한계를 넘지 않도록 해야 한다. 피로파괴는 단순한 원인에 의한 경우가 적고 복잡한 여러 형상이 중첩되는 경우가 많기 때문에 해석하기 어려운 경우가 많다. 결국 피로 파괴의 방지는 피로강도를 저하시킬 수 있는 요인들을 종합하여 설계단계에서부터 최종 사용단계까지 지속적인 관리에 의해서만 달성 될 수 있다.
