In order to estimate the fatigue life of mufflers at the early stage of researches and designs, the new prediction process was developed by the artificial neural network, which has the algorism of weldment properties. Bending fatigue test was carried out for defining the characteristics of muffler weldment fatigue life and damage. For considering and predicting mechanical and fatigue properties of the muffler, the maximum stress of weldment was adapted as the variable of artificial neural network training. Also, it was compared with the fatigue life predicting results using fatigue notch factors, for proving the newly developed process of the artificial neural network.

Fatigue behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polyimide composite materials was studied experimentally and analytically. The physical variables, such as cyclic displacements and hysteresis loop energy were observed during fatigue tests. Fatigue life of the investigated [0/90]$_{2S}$ laminates was predicted by H'||'&'||'H models which was proposed based on the fatigue modulus and resultant strain. The predicted fatigue life by H'||'&'||'H curves was reasonably close to the experimental data. Fractography study shows that fatigue failure mechanism of [0/90]$_{2S}$ laminated composite materials involves failure break, matrix tearing and fiber-matrix debonding as well as delamination of layers.

Life prediction and residual life prediction of structures of machines are one of the most strongly world wide needed problems as requirement in the stage of slowly developing economy which comes after rapidly and highly developing stage. For the purpose of statistical life prediction, fatigue test was conducted under the 4 stress levels, and for each stress level, about 20 specimens are used. The statistical properties of crack growth parameter m and C in the fatigue crack growth law of da/dN=C(.DELTA.K)sup m/, and the relationship between m and C, and the statistical distribution pattern of fatigue crack growth rate can be obtained by experimental results.

For Cu-Cr alloy developed for rocket engines, estimated fatigue lives were calculated using various fatigue life prediction methods and compared with fatigue life acquired from low-cycle fatigue tests. The utilized methods for fatigue life prediction are as follows: Coffin-Manson relation, plastic/total strain energy density relations, Smith-Watson-Topper relation, Tomkins relation, and Jahed-Varvani relation. As results of estimation of fatigue lives, it satisfied within scatter band two compared to the test fatigue lives in all methods. The quantitative calculation of the deviation of predicted fatigue lives gives that the total strain energy density relation presents the best result.

In this paper, the fatigue life of a laser peened structure was predicted. In order to calculate residual stress induced by laser peening finite element simulation was carried out. Modified Goodman equation was used to consider the effect of compressive residual stress induced by laser peening in fatigue analysis. In addition, additive adjustment factor approach was applied to consider S-N curve model uncertainty. Consequently, the reliable bounds of the predicted fatigue life of the laser peened structure was determined.

In this study, the geometry of the weld is used to develop the process of fatigue life prediction. For the development of fatigue life prediction process, bending fatigue test of muffler is conducted to obtain M(Moment)-N(Fatigue life) diagram. Modeling the geometry of the weld which is failed is performed to conduct static load analysis and analysis results are used to calculate the stress concentration factor. The stress concentration factor is used to get the fatigue notch factor and this was based on the fatigue life prediction. As a result of the comparison of test values and predicted values, predicted values are verified.

We proposed a technique for predicting Stress-Life (S-N) curve or fatigue life using geometric features of a ply-overlap joint structure in which plies of two composite materials are partially or wholly laminated and bonded. Geometric features that could affect fatigue properties of a structure were selected as variables. By analyzing relationships between geometric variables and material constants of the Epaarachchi-Clausen model, a fatigue model for composites, relational expressions of these two factors were proposed. To verify the prediction accuracy of the proposed method, fatigue life of a CFRP/GFRP ply-overlap joint was predicted. Predicted life and life obtained by test data-based model were compared to actual life. High prediction accuracy was confirmed by calculating the coefficient of determination of the predicted S-N curve.

A study about the fatigue life of copper alloy which is used in inner jacket of regenerative cooling chamber of liquid rocket engine has been performed. Mechanical properties of the material and fatigue life have been taken from tensile tests and low-cycle fatigue tests at room temperature and several elevated temperatures. Original universal slopes method, modified universal slopes method, Mitchell's method, Baumel and Seeger's method, and Ong's method have been used for predicting the fatigue data. It was found that the novel life prediction method should be developed for the copper alloys since almost all data have not been predicted well with the widely used methods.
