There was extreme improvement in the processing result of weld toe, but there is possibility that the fatigue failure occurs from the weld root part where the fatigue strength became low relatively. This study did the fatigue test at the cross rib specimens which implemented a partial penetration weld to improve the fatigue strength of the weld root part. As a result of the fatigue test of the partial penetration weld and the fillet weld specimens, almost the same fatigue strength appeared. Because the fatigue failure began from toe, there was not a reinforcement effect in the weld root part by the partial penetration weld. So, it examined fatigue strength at the partial penetration welding specimens which processed toe to stop the fatigue failure of toe part. As a result, there was big fatigue strength improvement from the partial penetration weld than the fillet weld. Therefore, if fatigue crack occurrence can be restrained from toe, it thinks that the fatigue strength of the root part can improve by the partial penetration weld, after all, it thinks that the overall fatigue life can improve.

This study investigated the fatigue stength of non-load carrying cruciform welded joints, which was maunfactured using the SM570 and POSTEN80 high strengh steel. Factors such as fatigue strength, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, thickness effect, and the relatioinship between the static strength and the fatigue strength were examined and compared with previous fatigue testing results. Results showed that the fatigue strength of SM570 and POSTEN80 steel are higher than the grade represented on the design specification. It is also identified the size effect and the dependence of the static stength in a few cases.

Currently, high strength steel is not used for steel bridges in Korea, except for the SM570 high strength steel in very isolated cases. The study aimed to promote the active adaptation of high strength steel for long-span steel bridges. Thus, the fatigue behavior of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel was investigated. For the experimental study, the butt welded joints samples were manufactured. Likewise, regular amplitude tensile fatigue tests were conducted. Test results, e.g., location of fatigue cracks and their propagation were compared with the findings of other researchers. After analyzing the effects of fatigue strength, e.g., static tensile strength and plate thickness of base metal, basic data for fatigue design criteria of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel were presented.

In this thesis, the fatigue tests were performed on a series of SFRC(steel fiber reinforced concrete) to investigate the fatigue behavior of SFRC varying with the steel fiber contents and the steel fiber aspect ratios. The three point loading system is used in the fatigue tests. In tl1ese tests, relations between the repeated loading cycles and the mid-span deflections, number of repeated loadmg cycles when specimen was fractured were observed. On this basis, the mid-span deflections, the elastic strain energy and inelastic strain energy of SFRC were studied. A S - N curve \vas drawn to present the fatigue strength of SFRC beam. From che test results, by increasing the steel fiber content the energy lost on the permanent deformation decreases and the energy spent on crack growth increases. But in case of SFRC with the same steel fiber content the higher the steel fiber aspect ratio is, the less the elastic strain energy is. According to S - N curve drawn by the regression analysis on the fatugue test results, the fatigue strength with 2,000,000 repeated loading cycles in SFRC with the steel fiber content is 1.0% shows about 70% on the first crack static flexural strength.

기계나 구조물 파괴의 대부분은 노치부를 기점으로 하여 발생하기 때문에 첨단복합재료를 노지부 재로서 안전하면서도 경제적으로 사용하기 위해서는 각종 조건하에 있어서 강도특성을 명확히 하는 것은 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 노치를 갖는 복합재료를 이용하여 각종조건하에서 강도특성평가실험을 행하였으 며, 얻어진 결과를 종합하면 다음과 같다. (1) 첨단복합재료 노치재는 試驗片의 幾可學的 形狀과는 관계없이 노치반경 p만에 의해 결정되는 최대탄성응력 $\sigma_{max}$일정의 條件下에서 破t짧된다. (2) 破斷時 최소단면에서의 공칭응력 $\sigma_{c}$와 응력집중계수 $K_{t}$와의 관계에 있어서,$\sigma_{c}$의 값이 $K_{t}$의 증대와 더불어 떨어지고 있는 부분과, $K_{t}$와 관계없이 거의 일정하게 되고 있는 부분으로 나누어지는 現象은 노치재의 回轉굽힘 또는 인장압축파열에서 보여지는 현상과 外觀上 對應하고 있다. 즉, 정적파괴와 피로파괴는 파괴의 양상이 비슷하다 (3) PEN수지단체의 경우, 피로균열발생은 점발생적 피로균열이 최대탄성응력에 의해 지배되며, 노치에 만감하며,균열전파수명은전수명에 비해 상당히 짧다. (4) 단탄소섬유강화복합재료의 경우, 피로균열은 섬유端에 응력이 집중하기 때문에 일반적으로 섬유端에서 아주 빠른 시기에 발생하지만, 섬유가 피로균열진전에 대해 방해물로 작용하기때문에 아주 천천히 전파한다. (5) 短탄소鐵維는 피로균열발생에 대해서는 負의 강화작용 전수명의 극히 초기단계에 피로균열 발생을, 피로균열전파에 대해서는 正의 강화작용을 한다. (6) 단탄소섬유를 PEN에 강화함으로 인해 정적강도 보다 피로강도에 더 큰 강화효과를 초래했으며, 선형노치역학의 개녀은 첨단 복합재료의 강도평가에 대단히 유효했다.

The aim of this study is to estimate the reliability of fatigue limit of the material used for crank throw components according to the staircase method. The material used for crank throw components is forged S34MnV grade steel, which is heat treated by normalizing and tempering. In this work, to predict the reliability of the design fatigue strength, axially loaded constant amplitude fatigue testing was conducted. The test specimens were loaded with an axial push/pull load with a mean stress of 0 MPa, which corresponds to a stress ratio of R=-1. The fatigue test results were evaluated by Dixon-Mood formulas. The values of mean fatigue strength and standard deviation predicted by the staircase method were 296.3 MPa and 10.6 MPa, respectively. Finally, the reliability of the fatigue limit in some selected probability of failure is predicted. The proposed method can be applied for the determination of fatigue strength for design optimization of the forged steel.

Prediction of composite fatigue life is not a straightforward matter, depending on various failure modes and their interactions. In this paper, a methodology is presented to predict fatigue life and residual strength of composite materials based on Phenomenological Model(non-linear fatigue damage model). It is assumed that the residual strength is a monotonically decreasing function of the number of loading cycles and applied fatigue stress ratio and the model parameters(strength degradation parameter and fatigue shape parameter) are assumed as function of fatigue life. Then S-N curve is used to extract model parameters that are required to characterize the stress levels comprising a randomly-ordered load spectrum. Different stress ratios (${\sigma}_{min}/{\;}{\sigma}_{max}$) are handled with Goodman correction approach(fatigue envelope) and the residual strength after an arbitrary load cycles is represented by two parameter weibull functions.

This study was conducted to improve the design and construction technique of orthotropic steel-deck bridges. After conducting an F.E.M. analysis of the various rib types of the connection details, static and fatigue tests were conducted, using a three-dimensional, full-scaled, orthotropic, steel-deck-plate model with internal diaphrams, to check the fatigue strength depending on the types of details. The model structure was made of two types of longitudinal ribs: the domestic standard and the European rabbit types. The fatigue strength of the steel-deck system was found to have improved through the installation of an internal diaphram, as no cracks were found on the bottom round part of the scallop with a diaphram. There were no differences between the domestic and the European types of details in terms of strength may be partially influenced by the shape of the scallop and by the installation of an internal diaphram, but it can be improved more significantly according to the quality of the welding that will be done.
