Side bolster is a part of the vehicle seat that holds the passenger's body from the side to make it more stable when the passenger is seated in the seat. In this study, the structural and fatigue analyses of the side bolsters at a car seat were carried out with two models of A and B. The heavily loaded parts, the damage by fatigue at driving a car and the difference of durability due to the structure were examined and the distributions of stress and deformation, and the fatigue lives were seen. Also, the strength and durability were examined. This study result is thought to be devoted to decrease the fatigue damage and increase the fatigue life and durability according to the design of bolster. This result is able to improve the product by applying the design of automotive side bolster practically. And it is thought to be the advantage to apply this study result to the convergence research with esthetic sense.

The reinforcement effect of micro-bolt for a bonded scarf joint was investigated. Three scarf ratios of 1/10, 1/20, and 1/30 were considered to examine the effect of scarf patch configuration on joint strength. To maintain the same density of micro-bolt, 16, 32, and 48 bolts were installed in the scarf joint specimens with scarf ratios of 1/10, 1/20, and 1/30, respectively. Tests were also carried out on the joints that are bonded with only adhesive and that are fastened with only micro-bolts to obtain reference values. The average failure loads of the adhesive joints with scarf ratios of 1/10, 1/20, and 1/30 were 29.7, 39.6, and 44.8 kN, respectively. In case of micro-bolt reinforcement, the failure loads at the same scarf ratios were 28.4, 37.2, and 40.1 kN, respectively, which corresponds to 96, 94, and 90% of the pure adhesive joint failure loads. In the case of using only micro-bolts, the failure loads were only 13-25% of the average failure loads of pure adhesive joints. Fatigue test was also conducted for the joints with scarf ratio of 1/10. The results show that the fatigue strength of hybrid joints using both adhesive and microbolts together slightly increased compared to the fatigue strength of adhesive joint, but the rate of increase was small to 2-3%. Through this study, it was confirmed that the reinforcement effect of micro-bolt is negligible in the scarf joints where shear stress is dominating the failure, unlike in the structure where peel stress is dominant.

The predictions of residual strength evolution and fatigue life of full scale composite rotor blade for multipurpose helicopter were studied using a strength degradation model. Flight-by-flight load spectrum was developed on the basis of FELIX standard spectrum data. The laminated structural analysis was also performed to obtain corresponding local stress and/or strain spectra for each ply of laminate skin and glass roving spar structures around the blade root where fatigue damage was severely anticipated.

많은 윤활 부품의 성능과 수명은 초기작동기간에 금속표면에서 일어나는 현상들에 의하여 좌우된다. 특히 혼합마착구역(Mixed film region)에서나 윤활막의 두께가 몇십 마이크론의 정도가 되는 EHD(Elastohydrohynamic)윤활구역에서 작동하는 경우엔 더욱 중요하다. 이러한 경험적 현상에 의해 상대운동하는 두마찰면의 초기 작동과정을 길들이기(run-in, breaking-in)라고 부르고 "마찰 부분의 형상이나 마모 및 윤활 마찰특성이 향상되어가는 과정" 으로 정의한다. 보통 길들이기 과정이 끝나면 표면 모양은 더이상 변하지 않고 마모나 마찰 특성이 일정하게되며 이 단계를 정상 상태라고 부른다. 길들이기과정이 중요시되는 것은 이 과정에서 마모는 정상 상태보다 심하고 Scuffing 혹은 Scoring현상이라고 부르는 마찰면 손상의 가능성이 항상 존재하기 때문이다. 이 현상은 보통의 마모나 부식 또는 피로파손의 형태와는 달리 갑작스런 발생으로 부품이나 기관의 부분적 혹은 완전 파손을 유발함으로써 설계나 제조 과정에 문제를 제기하는 요인으로 오래전부터 알려져 왔다.부터 알려져 왔다.

The fatigue crack propagation is stochastic in nature, because the variables affecting the fatigue behavior are random and have uncertainty. Therefore, the fatigue life prediction is critical for the design and the maintenance of many structural components. In this study, fatigue experiments are conducted on the specimens of magnesium alloy AZ31 under various conditions such as thickness of specimen, the load ratio and the loading condition. The probability distribution fit to the fatigue failure life are investigated through a probability plot paper by these conditions. The probabilities of failure at various conditions are also estimated. The fatigue design life is predicted by using the Weibull distribution.

This paper is to investigate the behavior of linear static structure stress, the fatigue and experimental shock fracture far engine base in the Auxiliary Power Unit to resolve its restricted electrical power problem. The shock fracture test was experimentally made under MIL standard criteria. The numerical results by finite element method had a good agreement with those from the shock test. The design data of predicting the fracture at the initial crack and the damage behavior of structure with shock and vibration load in the battle field can be obtained from shock test. In the functional shock test, the crack at the side parts of the engine base was found at peak acceleration of 40g.

This paper describes the development of a reliability-based optimum design technique for such three dimensional tubular frames as off shore structures. The objective function is formulated for the structural weight. Constraints that probability of failure for the critical sections does not exceed the allowable probability of failure are set up. In the evaluation of the probability of failure, fatigue as well as buckling and plasticity failure are taken into account and the mean-value first-order second-moment method(MVFOSM) is applied for its calculation. In order to reduce the computing time required for the repeated structural analysis in the optimization process, reanalysis method is also applied. Application to two and three dimensional simple frame structures is performed. The influence of material properties, external forces, allowable failure probabilities and interaction between external forces on the optimum design is investigated.

A new type of girder, called steel-confined prestressed concrete girder (SCP girder), has been developed, which maximizes the structural advantages of concrete, steel, and PS tendon, and improves on the shortcomings of steel plate girder, PSC I-girder, and preflex girder bridge for use in the construction of middle- or long-span bridges. To verify the propriety of design, structural safety, and applicability of this girder, a static load test was carried out (Kim et al.., 2002). Since the main damage typically sustained by steel bridges results from the fatigue caused by the repetition of traffic loads, fatigue safety must therefore be guaranteed in applying the SCP girder in the construction of real bridges. In this study, a fatigue test was carried out to investigate fatigue behavior and provide basic data for fatigue design. Based on the fatigue test, the fatigue safety of the girder was estimated. For the fatigue test, 10-m specimens were designed for a standard-design truckload (DB-24). A static load test was also performed before the fatigue test to analyze the structural behavior of the specimens. After the fatigue test, outer steel plates were removed to observe the condition of the concrete in the girder.
