Structural performance and serviceability of precast deck system are mostly determined by connection details between precast decks. Particularly, since the bridge deck is under repeated loads such as traffic loads, fatigue behavior and performance of joints should be investigated. In this study, a two-girder continuous composite bridge specimen was fabricated using the asymmetric ribbed loop joints, and static and fatigue load tests were conducted to evaluate the structural behavior and the crack pattern of the bridge deck. From the test results, the proposed precast deck system resulted in sufficient fatigue performance and failure strength. Therefore, the proposed precast deck system can be applied to the connection part of precast decks effectively.

A laboratory investigation is conducted to characterize and quantity fatigue life of continuously reinforced concrete pavement with initial cracks. Four specimens scaled were made based on results of finite-element analyses and stress-strain curve comparisons. Static tests were firstly performed to obtain magnitudes of static failure loads and to predict crack patterns before fatigue tests. The fatigue lives measured in the study were compared based on the initial crack spacing. The comparison indicates that the fatigue lives of most specimens increases with increasing the initial crack spacing. The results obtained in the study can be used for maintenance and retrofit of the continuously reinforced concrete pavements.

In order to investigate the cause of damage of the offshore meteorological tower, the measured wind speed data were analyzed, the dynamic displacement due to fluctuating wind load and wave load was calculated, and the fatigue was examined for vortex-induced vibration. It was confirmed from the results that the vibration lasting for four hours occurred in the meteorological tower when the maximum wind speeds for 10 minutes were compared for both the vane anemometer and ultrasonic anemometer. The effect of the gust wind on the dynamic response of the meteorological tower was greater than the wave. However, the combined forces acting on the meteorological tower was much lower than the design force even though the wind and wave loads were simultaneously applied. The vortex-induced vibration seemed to be cause of the fatigue failure in the connecting bolts. The destruction of the offshore meteorological tower was considered to be a vortex-induced vibration, not a fluctuating fluid flows.

The effects of % overload (% O.L), baseline stress intensity factor range (.DELTA. $K_{b}$) and dimension-less crack depth (a/W) are examined for the retardation behaviors after a single overload and high-low block loads in 7075-T73 aluminum alloy. And wheeler model, which is one of the fatigue life prediction models, is modified to predict retardation life using these test results. The retardation cycles( $N_{d}$) increased with a decrease in a/W and an increase in % O.L. and (.DELTA. $K_{b}$) These effects are more severe after high-low block loads than single overload. In the case of single overload, the main mechanisms of the retardation are the crack closure and the relaxation of K due to crack branching. But in the case of high-low block loads, that of the main mechanism is the crack closure caused by the accumulated compressive residual stree at the crack tip, which is related with the contact of fracture surfaces. Test results were multiple regression analyzed and got regressed shaping correction factors, (n)$_{REG}$, as function of %O.L., a/W and (.DELTA. $K_{b}$) Wheeler model is modified by using these (n)$_{REG}$. The number of delay cycles calculated by modified Wheeler model were in good agreement with the test results of this study.y.udy.y.y.y.

Currently, there are many processes of package assembly and inspections of real fields that examine whether a manufactured semiconductor can be operated regularly and can endure low humidity or high temperatures. As the inspection equipment of a semiconductor test handler picker has been used at the inspection process, these inspection equipment frames were modelled in 3D and these models were analyzed using 3 kinds of fatigue loadings. As the analysis result, maximum deformation occurred at the midparts of the frames at cases 1 and 2. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, the 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change in load became the most unstable but the 'Sample history' became the most stable. Fatigue analysis result can be used effectively with the design of an inspecting equipment frame of a semiconductor test handler picker to examine the prevention and durability against damage.

Composites composed of a precipitation harden 2124 alloy matrix reinforced by SiC whiskers, which are fabricated by powder metallugy, are suscepttible to fatigue damage due to the pile-up of moving dislocation and the microcrack initiation along SiC-Al interfaces, especially at the external surfaces of a body. The initial process, such as pile-up of dislocation or microcrack, that corresponds to the stage I during fatigue failure process are too small to be detected and characterized by conventional ultrasonic technique. This paper describes the applicability of an acoustic microscope with Line-Focus-Beam(LFB) lens of 225MHz to evaluate fatigue damage of SiC whiskers reinforced Al alloy. The specimens which were 6.6mm thick, 13mm wide, and 105mm long in the gage section were fatigued in tension-tension under load control. The velocity of leaky surface and leaky pseudosurface acoustic waves are obtained by FFT analysis technique from V(z) curve which is a record of output of piezoelectric transducer. These results are discussed with the change of number of fatigue cycles. The result obtained by acoustic microscope is compared with that by ultrasonic technique generated at 5MHz with conventional surface wave transducers.

This research work contributed to a study for the procedure and methodology to assess the fatigue durability for a composite torque link of helicopter landing gear, which was newly developed and fabricated by the resin transfer moulding technique to interchange with metal component. The simulated load spectrum anticipated to be applied to the torque link during its operation life was generated using an advanced method of probabilistic random process, and the fatigue durability was evaluated by the strength degradation approach on the basis of material test data. The full scale fatigue test was also performed and compared with the analysis results.

설계단계의 풍력발전시스템 하중계산은 20년이 넘는 시스템 수명과 효율을 결정하는 중요한 부분이다. 일반적인 규정서 기반의 설계하중 계산은 실제 풍황 조건인 발전기 상호 간섭, 설치 지형의 특성 등을 상세히 묘사하기 어렵다. 풍력발전기 설계 단계에서 검토된 평균풍속 또는 난류강도 등이 규정(IEC, GL 등)을 만족한다 하더라도 설계값과 실제값은 서로 다른 결과를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기 설계된 풍력발전기가 최적 효율을 낼 수 있는 풍력단지의 풍황 특성(평균풍속과 난류강도 등)의 범위를 보다 정확하게 제시하여 설치되는 풍력발전기의 수명과 효율을 높이는 방법을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 당사의 2MW급 IEC Class II-A로 설계된 직접 구동형 풍력발전기에 대해, 다양한 평균 풍속(7m/s~10m/s)과 난류강도(14%~20%)를 고려한 하중 계산을 수행하였다. 하중 분석을 통해 실제 풍황 조건에 따른 극한하중 산출 및 피로수명의 민감도를 검토하여 풍력발전기 운용의 풍속과 난류강도의 최적범위 제시하여 발전단지 설계에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 논문에서는 불규칙 하중을 받는 부재에 대한 연구의 고초로서 간단한 응력 모델을 설정하고 이들 변동응력이 가해지는 시기를 명확히 구분하여 크랙전파곡선의 거동을 고찰하였다. 특히 부하되는 응력 진폭의 크기에 따라서 크랙선단부의 미시적 인 변화의 크기가 다르고 이로인하여 크랙전파에 대한 피해의 정도가 달라진다고 하면 크랙전파의 지연 및 가속현상이 나타날 것이 예측이 되고 따라서 이때 나타나는 피해 정도의 크기를 미소 경도치로 환산하여 그것과 피로크랙 전파 특성과를 비교 검토 하 였다.
