The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the fatigue life to apply the vibration fatigue analysis considering the stiffness change of the spot welding due to fatigue damage accumulation. For this, the mechanical and fatigue properties of base and spot welded standard specimens were obtained through the tensile and constant amplitude fatigue test. The transfer function of the spot-welded structure was obtained from the frequency response analysis and fatigue analyisis was performed under the condition of PSD=0.11. A vibration fatigue analysis that considered changes in the frequency response due to the fatigue damage that is, failure of some wleding point was conducted on spot-welded structure. The fatigue life of the spot-welded structure was determined by combining the transfer function, the S-N curve of the tensile-shear spot-welded joint and the input PSD.

A strut rubber insulator is used in a suspension component of passenger cars. The uni-axial tension, compression, and the shear test were performed to acquire the constants of the strain energy functions which were Mooney-Rivlin model and Ogden model. The finite element analysis was executed to evaluate the behavior of deformation and stress distribution by using the commercial finite element code MARC ver K6.2. Also, the fatigue tests were carried out to obtain the fatigue life-load curve. The fatigue failure was initiated at the folded position of rubber, which was the same result predicted by the finite element analysis.

Fracture mechanics is used for the detailed analysis of the failure of high-speed rotating cylindrical vessels. The general procedure for the analysis of fatigue life and failure used in this study is summarized; the initial material properties are also described. The results of the theoretical stress analysis are compared to the observed magnitude of the stress under the operational condition. The fracture-surface configurations observed under both optical and scanning electron microscopes are used to investigate the progress of fatigue crack propagation. Fatigue life estimates obtained by using the Paris model are compared to the actual service life of the high-speed rotating pressure vessel.

To evaluate the reliability against fatigue failure of offshore structures, a fatigue reliability analysis model based on the probabilistic approach has been developed. In this model, the simplified method is adopted as a fatigue analysis method. The uncertainties included in the fatigue analysis are considered as random variables and their statistical properties are evaluated as quantitatively as possible using existing data. As an example, the developed fatigue reliability model is applied to the jacket. And then the relative significance of each uncertainty on the probability of fatigue failure is surveyed.

본 논문에서는 접착제로 접합된 DCB 구조체의 피로 해석을 수행하였다. 두께가 25및 40 mm인 두 모델들의 피로수명과 피로손상의 해석 결과를 비교해보면, 두께 25 mm인 모델이 두께 40 mm인 모델에 비하여 수명과 손상이 불리한 것으로 나타났으며 불규칙 피로하중에서는 'SAE transmission'에서 가장 불리한 값을 나타냈다. 또한 'SAE transmission'에서 가장 안정한 경향을 보이고 있고 상대적인 손상으로서 약 1.1에서 1.8 % 정도로 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 해석 결과를 접착제로 접합된 실제 복합재 구조물에 적용시켜 피로거동을 분석하고 그 기계적인 특성을 파악할 수 있다.

짧은 시간의 주행 실험과 랜덤 응답 해석을 통한 차체의 피로수명을 해석하는 방법을 제시하 였다. 주파수 영역에서 다축 응력을 폰 미제스 응력으로 변환시키고 응력 진폭의 확률 분포를 와이블 분포를 고려하여 처리함으로써 더욱 신뢰도가 큰 해석이 되도록 하였다. 여기에 제시된 해석 과정은 일반적으로 적용 가능한 것이므로, 양산 전 단계의 차체 피로 설계에 좋은 참고가 될 것이다.

In this study, the methodology for the fatigue life prediction using finite element method(FEM) in wire, bundle and assembly level of the wire harness system and the development of the fatigue life test machine for the numerical analysis are investigated. To obtain stress-life(S-N) histories of the componential wires of the system, five kinds of wires are prepared and applied to the repeated bending motion using developed fatigue life test equipment. Equivalent model of the wire from the rule of mixtures theory is used for the material modeling of sheath and wire core combination. Contact conditions among the wires, taping conditions are established through the bundle level test and numerical bundle analysis. Wire and bundle level results are adopted for the assembly level analysis. For the assembly level analysis, real wire harness system including bundle and grommet is numerically modeled and applied contact condition between wires with real opening motion. The fatigue life more than 700,000 cycles of the assembly is obtained from the FEM, and it is confirmed that the result has good agreement with the experimental result.

A commonly analytical estimation of fatigue life on rubber components is using fatigue life equation based on various fatigue test results. However, such method has very restricted applicability in actual designing processes because performing fatigue tests requires a lot of time and money. In addition, non-standard rubber materials and their randomness make it hard to make databases. In this paper, the other fatigue life estimation method using tearing energy was suggested. We performed static and dynamic tearing test about automotive vibration rubber materials and a finite element formulation using a virtual crack to calculate the tearing energy of rubber components with complicated shapes. To using the suggested method, fatigue life of an automotive motor mount has been estimated and verified the reliability of this method by using comparison between the estimated values and the actual fatigue life.

Internal defects are a major concern in the casting process because they have a significant influence on the strength and fatigue life of casting products. In general, they cause stress concentration and can be a starting point of cracks. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of internal defects on mechanical properties such as fatigue life. In this study, fatigue experiments on tensile specimens with internal defects were performed. The internal defects in the casting product were scanned by an industrial CT scanner, and its shape was simplified by ellipsoidal primitives for the structural and fatigue analysis. The analysis results were compared with experimental results for casting products with internal defects. It was demonstrated that it is possible to consider internal defects of casting products in stress and fatigue analysis. The proposed method provides a tool for the prediction of the fatigue life of casting products and the investigation of the effects of internal defects on mechanical performance.
