A vibro ripper utilizes high-frequency vibration for rock fragmentation. This concept is different from those used by other existing breakers. The gearbox-shank welded joint of a vibro ripper is a very important part. Because it delivers the vibromotive force to the tooth, it is important to predict its soundness. This study was conducted to predict the fatigue life under welding conditions. The shank materials were Hardox-Hituf and AR400, and the filler metals were CSF-71T and CSF-81T. Fatigue tests were conducted under each set of conditions. P-S-N curves are presented based on the statistical testing method recommended by JSME-S002, and a comparison is made of the results under each set of conditions. The life was estimated using a P-S-N curve.

A main steam pipe system is a branch pipe that connects a boiler with a turbine. Water hammering analysis is very important for limiting the damage caused to pipe systems by operation conditions. Water hammering created by an unsteady flow in pipeline systems can cause excessive change in pressure, vibration, and noise. The main steam pipe structure should be designed to safely maintain the pressure pulsation and several vibrations under operation environments. This study evaluated the structural integrity of a main steam pipe during suspended and normal operation by using the ASME fatigue life methodology and finite element analysis. In the analysis, water hammering was used for transient analysis. The calculated alternating stress and fatigue stress were compared with the applicable limits of ASME fatigue life. All the evaluation results satisfied the requirements of the ASME fatigue life.

In the design of class 1 components to apply ASME code section III NB, a fatigue is considered as one of the important failure mechanisms. Fatigue analysis procedure and standard fatigue design curve(S-N curve) is suggested in ASME code, which had to be performed to meet the integrity of components at the design step. As the plant life extension for operating power plants and the long-lived plant design, however, are being progressed, the fact which the existing ASME fatigue design curve can not consider fatigue effects sufficiently comes to the fore. To find the technical solution for these problems, a number of researches and discussion are continued up to now. In this study, the detailed fatigue analyses using the 3 dimensional modeling for the fatigue-weakened components were performed to develop the optimized fatigue analysis procedure and their results are compared with other reference solutions.

A levitation rail is placed on the top of track structure to operate Maglev vehicles and a part of track that link up with a sleeper is applied repeated load in Maglev vehicles operation. This paper aimed to verify validity of design for levitation rail, through the fatigue analysis about load which is applied to levitation rail in Maglev vehicles operation and impact load occurring in an emergency landing. Load conditions applied design load(23kN/m) in normal operation and skid drop load(24kN/m) in vehicle drop. And boundary conditions are consider bolt fixing and welding. Through static analysis, weak point and maximum stress of levitation rail could be obtained. S-N(stress-life) method was used in oder to predict fatigue life, and Goodman relationship was applied to consider a effect of mean stress. Also damage was calculated by using Miner's. As a result of fatigue analysis, levitation rail had a fatigue life which was more than requirement ($10^6$cycle) in all analysis conditions. Assumption that $10^8{\sim}10^9$cycles is infinite life, all analysis conditions had infinite life except a case under drop load and bolt fixing($1.21{\times}10^6$).

The spaceborne cooler is applied to cool down of the focal plane of the infrared detector of the observation satellite. However, this cooler induces unnecessary micro-jitter which can degrade the image quality of the high-resolution observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a multi-layered blade type vibration isolator to attenuate micro-vibration generated from a spaceborne cooler, while assuring structural safety of the cooler under severe launch loads without an additional launch-lock device. The blade of the isolator is formed with multi-layers in order to obtain durability against fatigue failure and an adhesive is applied between each layers for granting high damping capability under launch vibration environment. In this study, the basic characteristics of the isolator were measured using the free-vibration test. The effectiveness of the isolator design was demonstrated by launch vibration test at qualification level.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites have high specific stiffness and high specific strength. Therefore, they are increasingly being use, instead of conventional metallic materials in the aviation and automobile industries, where there is a strong demand for lightweight materials. In aircraft, the fuselage is exposed to severe conditions of high temperatures and high humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the strength of CFRP composites under real conditions from the viewpoint of aircraft safety. In this study, CFRP specimens were immersed in distilled water at $75^{\circ}C$ for a long time. Then, tensile tests were performed on these specimens, and the fracture characteristics of the fractured surfaces were analyzed using SEM. A fatigue test was performed on specimens immersed for 300 days with R=0.1, and it was confirmed that the fatigue life deteriorated in immersed specimens compared to specimens that were not immersed.

The detection of micro cracks in materials at the early stage of fracture is important in many structural safety assurance problems. The nonlinear ultrasonic technique (NUT) has been considered as a positive method for this, since it is more sensitive to micro crack than conventional linear ultrasonic methods. The basic principle is that the waveform is distorted by nonlinear stress-displacement relationship on the crack interface when the ultrasonic wave transmits through, and resultantly higher order harmonics are generated. This phenomenon is called the contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN). The purpose of this paper is to prove the applicability of CAN experimentally by detection of micro fatigue crack artificailly initiated in Aluminum specimen. For this, we prepared fatigue specimens of Al6061 material with V-notch to initiate the crack, and the amplitude of second order harmonic was measured by scanning along the crack direction. From the results, we could see that the harmonic amplitude had good correlation with COD and it can be used to detect the crack depth in more accurately than the common 6 dB drop echo method.

DCIA(Directly Connected Impervious Area) 및 EIA(Efficient Impervious Area)의 개념은 불투수층의 하위 개념으로서, 배수관망으로 직접 연결되어 있는 불투수층이다. DCIA는 하천 생태계의 건전성을 예측함에 있어 전체 불투수지역 자료를 사용하는 것보다 정확성이 높다. DCIA의 가장 큰 장점은 도시환경에서 녹색 사회기반시설(green infrastructure)과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 알려지면서, 최근에 녹색 사회기반시설 설치에 따른 영향분석을 평가하는 중요한 요소로 자리잡고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정밀 토지피복도를 이용하여 DCIA를 산정하였으며, 이를 이용하여 유출량 해석을 수행한 결과 전체 불투수지역 자료를 사용한 것 보다 높은 정확도를 보였다. 또한 대상유역의 녹색 사회기반시설 설치에 따른 유출량의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 DCIA와 폭함수를 이용한 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 녹색 사회기반시설 설치에 따른 DCIA의 감소율에 따라 첨두홍수량 저감을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 도시유역의 홍수량 저감방안으로서 DCIA 분석을 기반으로 한 녹색 사회기반시설을 보다 적극적으로 도입할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
