The procedures and relevant programs developed for analyzing mechanical load data of wind turbine generator systems, which are obtained through type certification tests, are verified. The following issues according to IEC 61400-13 are covered in the developed programs: data validation, time series analysis, summary load statistics, generation of fatigue load spectra, and estimation of equivalent loads. A capture matrix for normal power production is generated to determine whether the collected data sets are sufficient to carry out fatigue analysis. Fatigue load spectra are obtained through the rainflow counting method using 50 load ranges; finally, equivalent loads are calculated using different S-N curve slopes, m, according to the relevant materials. Case studies are performed using aero-elastic simulation data of the NREL 5 MW baseline wind turbine with a monopile foundation.

본 연구의 목적은 운동강도(최대근수축의 10, 30, 50, 70%)에 따라 유발되는 국소적인 근피로가 슬관절의 위치감각 인지에 미치는 영향을 연구함으로써 근력강화의 운동치료적 효과와 운동학습과 관련된 효과를 동시에 만족시키는 최적의 운동강도를 제시하는 것이었다. 대상자는 건강한 성인여자 40명이었다. 청각을 통한 위치감각 정보를 제공하는 장치와 원판 각도계가 부착된 등속성 Cybex를 사용하였다. 근피로의 상태를 확인하기 위해서 근전도를 이용하여 주파수 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였다. 청각되먹임이 주어진 각도와 대상자에 의해 재생되어진 각도의 오차값들과 근피로의 변화를 비교하기 위해 일요인 분산분석을 이용하였다. 오차값들의 평균은 50%의 군에서 가장 작았으며 근피로 또한 70%의 군에서만 크게 생성되었다. 따라서 최대 근 수축력의 50%가 운동치료 시 가장 효과적인 운동강도임을 알 수 있었다.

The fact that material degradation can be evaluated by measuring nonlinear acoustic effect has been proposed by previous studies. The most conventional method to measure nonlinear acoustic effect is to measure the absolute magnitude of fundamental and $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component in the propagated ultrasonic wave. For this aim, power spectral analysis technique has been used widely. However, the power spectral analysis has fatal disadvantage that the gaussian additive noise superimposed in the wave signal remains in the power spectrum domain. Moreover, the magnitude of $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component generated by nonlinear effect is so small that it may be suppressed by the noise remained in the power spectrum. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes an alternative method using bispectrum analysis, which can reduce the effect of addictive gaussian noise and. the nonlinear parameter can be obtained more stably. Simulations showed that the proposed method can obtain the value of nonlinear parameter near to the true value in the case of low SNR signal. Also, in order to confirm the usefulness of our method in actual case, we compared the nonlinear parameter obtained by using both of power spectral and bispectral analysis for several specimen intentionally degraded by fatigue load.

This paper proposes an approach for predicting the fatigue life of a propeller shaft of a forklift truck by an accelerated life test method. The accelerated life test method adopted in this study is the calibrated accelerated life test, which is highly effective in the prediction of the lifetime and enables significant reduction of the test time as well as a quantification of reliability in the case of small sample sizes. First, the fatigue test was performed under two high stress levels, and then, it was performed by setting low stress levels in consideration of the available test time and extrapolation. Major reliability parameters such as the lifetime, accelerated power index, and shape parameter were obtained experimentally, and the experimentally predicted lifetime of the propeller shaft was verified through comparison with results of an analysis of load spectrum data under actual operating conditions.

The fatigue analysis is performed to avoid structural failure in aerospace structures under repeated loads. In this paper, the fatigue life is estimated for the design of tilt rotor UAV. First of all, the fatigue load spectrum for tilt rotor UAV is generated. Fatigue analysis is done for the flaperon joint which may have FCL(fracture critical location). Tilt rotor UAV operates at two modes: helicopter mode such as taking off and landing; fixed wing mode like cruising. To make overall fatigue load spectrum, FELIX is used for helicopter mode and TWIST is used for fixed wing mode. The other hand, the Kriging meta model is used to get S-N regression curve for whole range of material life when S-N test data are analyzed. And then, the second order of S-N curve is accomplished by the least square method. In addition, the coefficient of determination method is used to ensure how accuracy it has. Finally, the fatigue life of flaperon joint is compared with that obtained by MSC. Fatigue.

풍력발전용 회전날개의 구조설계 요구조건은 크게 제한 강도 요구조건(Limit strength requirement), 강성도 요구조건(Stiffness requirement), 피로수명 요구조건(Fatigue life requirement)의 세 가지를 들 수 있다. 첫째로 제한 강도 요구조건은 운용기간 중에 발생할 수 있는 최대하중에 견딜 수 있어야 하며, 폭풍이나 돌풍의 상황에 대한 안전성을 의미한다. 둘째로 강성도 요구조건은 운용 중 공진을 피하기 위한 고유진동 수확보, 타워와의 충돌을 피하기 위한 변위의 제한, 공력성능의 변화를 피하기 위한 비틀림각의 제한등이 있다 셋째로 피로수명에 대한 요구조건은 요구피로수명 동안에 예상되는 반복하중에 견딜 수 있어야 한다.

집중도 변화와 정신피로는 정의 방향의 평가와 부의 방향의 평가가 있으며, 작업 수행시의 집중변화와 정신피로의 평가는 정의 방향보다 부의 방향으로의 평가가 용이하다. 따라서, 저자들은 먼저 피험자에게 부가할 정신작업부하로 난이도 조정이 용이한 연산작업을 사용하여 작업수행시 가장 높은 집중을 요구하는 하나의 난이도를 선정하고 피험자에게 반복 수행시키면서 생리량과 심리량을 동시에 측정하였다. 측정된 생리량은 뇌파, 심전도, 호흡, 맥파, 말초피부온이며 심리량은 저자들이 개발한 정신피로설문지를 사용하였다. 분석결과 작업수행시 심박변화율의 전력스펙트럼 MF/(LF+HF)비가 감소하였으며, 작업이 반복됨에 따라 집중이 저하되고 정신피로가 증가하였다. 특히, 뇌파의 beta파와 호흡간격이 집중도의 변화를 말초피부온이 정신피로를 잘 반영하였다.

The up-to-date fatigue strength assessment system for ship structures was developed based on the spectral analysis method and numerical calculation for a membrane type LNG carrier was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the developed system. The wave induced loads acting on the ship's hull were calculated based on strip theory. And introducing the concept of influence factor and 3-D fine mesh structural analysis, direct calculation of long-term distribution of wave induced stress components was realized. Using the derived long term distribution of stress components and Miner-Parmgren's linear damage accumulation rule, fatigue strength of structural components were investigated.

In this paper, we deducted the missions with respect to Korea utility helicopter (KUH) and consist of the scenarios which describe proper purpose of KUH. And so developed fatigue load spectrum of KUH by applying Helix that is fatigue load spectrum for blade of articulated helicopter rotor system. The developed load spectrum is applied to fatigue analysis of blade by modeled finite element with stress-life method (S-N). And we compared the result of fatigue analysis to prior to Helix for the sake of verifying the load spectrum that we generated.
