In this study, the effects of embedded optical fibers on the static properties under tensile load and dynamic properties under fatigue load of composite laminates were investigated by experimental tests and finite element analysis. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the embedded optical fiber sensors do not have significant effects on the structural integrity of the smart composite structures except when the sensors are embedded perpendicular to the adjacent reinforcing fibers under fatigue loading. An intensity-based optical fiber sensor was embedded in the crossply composite laminates to monitor the fatigue damage by detecting the stiffness changes of the laminates. The result of this experiment has shown that the intensity-based optical fiber sensor has large potential to monitor the fatigue damage of composite structures by detecting the stiffness changes of the structures with simple and inexpensive instruments and without complex post-processing of measured signals. In addition, the optical fiber sensor showed good resistance to fatigue loading and wide sensing ranges of stiffness.

실제 교량 바닥판의 거동은 반복하중에 의한 피로누적 손상에 의해 발생되므로 성능분석을 위해서는 피로 실험결과를 통한 구조거동 분석이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현재 개발 중인 초간편 강합성 바닥판의 피로성능을 파악하기 위해 일점 재하 방식으로 반복 하중을 재하 하였다. 실험체의 거동을 파악하기 위해 변위계를 설치하여 변위를 측정하였고 이 실험의 결과로 신형식 바닥판인 초간편 강합성 바닥판의 피로 파괴 양상을 알 수 있었으며 피로 곡선을 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 바닥판의 파괴요인 중 외부 환경적 요인과 실제 차량 하중 이동을 모사한 윤하중 재하 시 피로 성능에 대한 연구가 추가로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

고온 사용 설비의 잔여수명을 진단하는 비파괴적인 여러 가지 방법 중에서 현장에서 간단히 측 정을 함으로써 경년열화 정도를 비교적 쉽게 알아낼 수 있는 경도법에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이 방법은 크립손상 평가뿐만 아니라 피로 손상 평가에도 사용되고 있으며 외국의 경우 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있는, 가장 보편화된 방법 중의 하나이다. 국내의 경우에도 노후화된 고온 사용 설비가 상당수되기 때문에 설비의 안전성이나 경제적인 운용을 위해서 이들의 손상 정도를 정 기적으로 진단할 필요성이 매우 크나 이에 대한 연구 성과는 외국에 비하여 미미한 편이기 때 문에 앞으로 이에 대한 많은 노력이 이루어져야 한다고 생각되나. 특히 현장에서는 휴대용 시 험기를 사용하여야 하나 수명평가에는 비커스 경도값을 사용하고 있기 때문에 이들의 경도 환 산에 대한 D/B 확충이 시급한 실정이다. 또한 기존 기술의 습득 및 손상 평가의 정확도 향상, 새로운 방법들의 개발 그리고 이들의 현장 적용 등을 위해서는 실기 사용재의 입수, 정보교환, 전문가시스템(expert system) 개발을 위한 D/B 구축 등 산 . 학 . 연의 협동이 절실히 요구된다.

액체금속로는 고온 하중 효과(피로, 크립, 크립-피로)를 고려한 내열응력설계가 중요하다. 최근에는 액금로 후보재료로서 종래의 스테인레스강에 질소를 첨가하여 고온강도를 계량한 316LN 스테인레스강이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 액체금속로 재료의 가장 지배적인 손상 기구로 인식되고 있는 피로-크립 파손에 대한 설계자료를 확보하기 위해 DCPD(Direct Current Potential Drop)법에 의한 고온피로균열 측정 시스템을 개발하고 316L 및 스테인레스강인 316LN 스테인레스강에 대한 고온 피로균열진전시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에 의해 개발된 피로균열진전속도 측정 시스템에 의하면 25$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 분해능으로 균열길이를 측정할 수 있다. 한편 316L 스테인레스강에 질소를 적당량 첨가하면 상온에서 $600^{\circ}C$사이의 온도에서 피로균열진전에 대한저항성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

Fatigue life prediction methodology of the rubber component made of vulcanized natural rubber under variable amplitude loadings was studied. The displacement-controlled fatigue tests were conducted at different levels and the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was selected as damage parameters. A fatigue life curve of the rubber represented by the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was determined from the nonlinear finite element analysis. The transmission load history of SAE as variable amplitude loading was used to perform the fatigue life prediction. And then a signal processing of variable loading by racetrack and simplified rainflow cycle counting methods were performed. The modified miner's rule as cumulative damage summation was used. Finally, when the gate value is 30%, the predicted fatigue life of the rubber component agreed well with the experimental fatigue lives with a factor of two.

Concrete slab curls and warps due to the uneven distribution of temperature and moisture and as the result, internal stress develops within the slab. Therefore, environmental loads must be considered in addition to the traffic loads to predict the lifespan of the concrete pavement more accurately. The strength of the concrete slab is gradually decreases to a certain level at which fatigue cracking is generated by the repetitive traffic and environmental loadings. In this study, a new fatigue regression model was developed based on the results from previously performed studies. To verify the model, another laboratory flexural fatigue test program which was not used in the model development, was conducted and compared with the predictions of other existing models. Each fatigue model was applied to analysis logic of cumulative fatigue damage of concrete pavement developed in the study. The sensitivity of cumulative fatigue damage calculated by each model was analyzed for the design factors such as slab thickness, joint spacing, complex modulus of subgrade reaction and the load transfer at joints. As the result, the model developed in this study could reflect environmental loading more reasonably by improving other existing models which consider R, minimum/maximum stress ratio.

This paper is related with one of safety plans to rescue a damaged-ship whether by collision, grounding or internal accident. We discuss the problem on course stability of damaged-ship while towed under severe wind pressure. The characteristic equation to assess the stability on course, is derived from sway and yaw coupled motion of towing and towed vessels with wind effect. Through the numerical calculation on course stability of towing and towed vessels system, the relationship between the course stability of a towed damaged-ship and wind direction or towrope length, is clarified with the parameters of weather and damage conditions.

Chassis part in automotive body is affected by fatigue load at driving on the ground. Universal joint on this part is influenced extremely by the fatigue load. Fatigue life, damage and natural frequency are analyzed at universal joint under nonuniform fatigue load. The york part at universal joint is shown with the maximum equivalent stress and displacement of 60.755 MPa and 0.21086 mm as strength analysis. The possible life in use in case of 'SAE bracket' is the shortest among the fatigue loading lives of 'SAE bracket', 'SAE transmission' and 'Sine Wave'. The damage at loading life of 'SAE transmission' is the least among 3 types. The frequency of damage in case of 'Sine Wave' is 0.7 with the least among 3 fatigue loading life types but this case brings the most possible damage as 80% at the average stress of 0. Natural vibration at this model is analyzed with the orders of 1'st to 5'th and maximum frequency is shown as 701.73 Hz at 5'th order. As the result of this study is applied by the universal joint on chassis part, the prevention on fatigue damage in automotive body and its durability are predicted.

This study analyzes stress, fatigue and vibration at clutch on the rotation of wheel. Eigenfrequencies from 1'st to 6'th order about clutch assembly are shown with the vibration at more than 800Hz. Maximum equivalent stress is shown with the frequency of 800Hz in case of the harmonic vibration applied with force. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but 'Sample history' becomes most stable. In case of 'Sample History' with the average stress of 0MPa to $-10^5$ MPa and the amplitude stress of 0MPa to $10^5$ MPa, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 3.23%. This stress state can be shown with 6 times more than the damage possibility of 'SAE bracket history' or 'SAE transmission'. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the safe design of clutch.

In this paper presented is the reliability analysis of a double skinned hull structure against the ultimate bending moment and fatigue strength under longitudinal bending. The ultimate bending strength is obtained through the beam-column approach in which the load-end shortening curves(stress-strain curves) of stiffened plates under mini-axial compression are derived using the concept of plastic hinge collapse. The fatigue damage only is considered as fatigue failure for which the Miner's damage rule is employed. Assessed are fatigue reliability for the possible joint types found at deck structure. Also included is the reliability analysis of a series system of which elements are ultimate and fatigue failure.
