For many years, fatigue was discounted as a potential cause of or contributor to human error. However, resent accident data and research point to fatigue as a cause of and/or contributor to human error precisely because of its impact on performance. The goal of this study is to analyze and examine of the fatigue factors related to human error. For this, we carried out the questionnaire survey which concerned with the fatigue factors.

기계 및 구조물들이 등진폭하중만을 받는 경우는 극히 드물어서 대부분이 진폭과 주파수가 불규 칙하게 변하는 하중을 받는다. 실하중이력이 불규칙(random)한 모양을 갖는 것은 비행기, 자동차, 선박 등의 많은 기구물들이 공기의 터블런스, 거치론 도로표면 및 대양의 파도와 같이 random한 주위환경에 접하기 때문이다. 이 random한 환경과 구조물의 탄성성질들로 인해서 구조물로부터 측정된 하중응답신호들(응신율,변위 혹은 가속도)은 건폭과 주파수가 random하게 변하는 특정한 형태의 파형을 갖는다. 현금 우리나라에 이 방면의 연구가 활발하지 못하여 complex load history가 피로에 미치는 영향과 이에 관련된 피로시험들을 간략히 소개한다.

Fatigue is known to detrimentally affect a person's performance. Also, fatigue may reduce effectiveness and efficiency of marine officers and crew members. The purpose of this research is to understand on the status of the marine officers' fatigue. In this study, we carried out the questionnaire survey which is related to the marine officers' fatigue factors such as work, sleep and rest hour or period, sleepiness, casual factor, fatigue symptom, etc. The questionnaire contained 25 questions and it was distributed among 1,033 marine officers(deck officers 607 and engineers 426). The results of this survey show that marine officers' fatigue is a casual factor in marine accidents such as collisions, groundings and there was a fatigue difference between deck officers and engineers.

In this study, we investigated visual fatigue in i3D system and basic factors that contribute to visual fatigue in the system. i3D is a type of glasses-free display which supports elementary manual interaction of users with the display. In Experiment 1, we performed open-ended survey of visual fatigue and collected responses from observers which then were used as survey questions for visual fatigue. The questions were validated by factor analysis from which we derived fatigue measurement scale. In Experiment 2, we measured visual fatigue in various conditions using survey questions obtained from Experiment 1. Using manual interaction (present/absent), viewing distance(1/2/4m), and viewing orientation($0/28/56^{\circ}$) as three factors in within-subject design, we measured visual fatigue in each condition. The results indicated that visual fatigue deceases with farther viewing distance, but viewing orientation and manual interaction does not influence visual fatigue. Although fatigue unexpectedly decreased in an extreme viewing condition (e.g., distance 1m, orientation $56^{\circ}$), the results were obtained because of technical limitation of glasses-free 3D display. General discussion provides discussion on limits of the current study and suggestions for future research.

In an acceleration of 'untact' society during the COVID-19 pandemic, video conferencing platforms have been provided to connect the isolated and to overcome the limit of having interpersonal relationships. While these services brought a great deal of benefits, they also increased the number of people who suffer from additional fatigue from video conferencing. This study, thus, aimed to identify the factors of using video conferencing services and further to examine the relationship between the factors and the users' overall fatigue. Through focus-group interviews and survey, four main factors of fatigue (restriction from untact communication, difficulty of use, background set-ups, discomfort from excessive attention) were identified. This study also found the positive relationships of restriction from untact communication and background set-ups on the users' overall fatigue. The results does not only provide implication on defining new fatigue factors from young generations but also help practitioners and service providers to improve the deficits of services that the real users currently experience.

The life of a component decreases when it was exposed at the extreme condition. A turbine blade of a turbopump used for a liquid rocket engine is operated under the environment of high temperature and pressure, and experienced high centrifugal force. Thus the durability of the turbopump operated under the these conditions become lower than expected because of the severe fatigue and creep influence. The damage of the turbine being considered the fatigue and the creep influence is estimated to ensure the durability of turbopump turbine. ABAQUS/CAE and MSC.Fatigue are used for the fatigue analysis, and Larson-Miller parameter and robinson's rule are used for the creep analysis. In this paper, comparison and analysis of the fatigue and the creep influence were performed to ensure the life expectancy of turbopump turbine.

본 논문에서는 스테레오스코픽 디스플레이에 사용되는 스테레오 영상의 피로도를 분석하여 스테레오 영상의 시청 및 제작에 응용될 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 스테레오 영상의 피로도는 스테레오 영상의 시청 및 제작 시 영상의 품질을 향상시키기 위해 고려해야 할 가장 중요한 요소이나, 현재 이에 관한 국제 표준이 정해지지 않아 디스플레이 및 스테레오 영상 제작자마다 다른 기준으로 피로도를 분석하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 시청자의 신체적 특성, 디스플레이 장치의 크기, 시청거리, 영상의 특성 등 시청자의 피로도에 영향을 미치는 모든 요소를 종합적으로 고려한 실용적인 피로도 분석 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 피로도 분석 시스템은 The zone of comfortness 와 peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) estimation 기술을 응용하여 영상의 시차(disparity), PSNR, 디스플레이 크기, 시청거리, 시청자의 양안 거리로부터 수렴-조절 불일치 (vergenceaccommodation conflict)와 양안 입사 자극 불일치 정도를 추정해 스테레오 영상의 피로도를 계산한다. 제안하는 시스템을 통하여 스테레오스코픽 디스플레이 장치에서 영상과 시청자 특성을 고려한 최적의 시청환경을 시청자에게 제안할 수 있으며, 스테레오 영상 제작에 있어 목표 시청 환경에 대해 피로도를 최소화할 수 있는 영상의 제작 등의 응용이 가능하다.

구조물이나 기계요소내의 결함이 성장하여 파손(Failure)에 이르는 현상은 공학분야에서 중요하게 평가되어 오고 있다. 반복적으로 변하는 응력에 의하여 결함이 초기 성장을 거쳐 재료의 파손에 이르게 되는 과정인 피로파괴는 파괴역학의 한 중요한 분야이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 열처리의 특성상 부식환경에 매우 민감한 Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloy 7075에 대하여 Peak Aged T65l Tempering을 실시한 Al-Alloy 7075-T65l에 대하여 각기 환경(대기, 물, 해수)의 변화가 부식피로균열성장에 미치는 영향과 부식환경에서의 긴 균열(Long Crack)과 짧은 균열(Short Clark)의 부식피로균열 성장특성을 비교, 고찰하여 초기균열의 잠재시간과 안정성장 시간을 예측하여 구조물의 수명예측 및 안전성 평가에 기여 할 수 있는데 목적이 있다.

Recently, fatigue related to marine accidents was recognized to be very important contribution factor when marine accidents such as collision, aground, fire, etc. were investigated Many studies concerned about fatigue factors related to human error can be found. In this study, the analysis and examination of USCG Fatigue Investigation Program were carried out in order to investigate marine accidents happened in Korean waters. The Fatigue Investigation Program was established on the MAIFA(Marine Accident Investigators Forum in Asia) web site. Finally, the application plan of the program was discussed.

This article is to examine the influence of occupational stress, socio-psychological factors and quality of sleep on fatigue symptoms from firefighters in fire service. The correlation coefficients were obtained by a tool of Pearson analysis, and covariance structure analysis was performed on the factors affecting the level of fatigue symptoms. This result suggests that the level of firefighters' fatigue symptoms in fire service. has a causal effect with occupational stress, socio-psychological factors and quality of sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the work environment and to increase organizational support to deal with firefighters' fatigue in fire service.
