Ample research effort has been oriented into developing damage indices with the aim of estimating in a reasonable manner the consequences, in terms of structural damage and deterioration, of severe plastic cycling. Although several studies have been devoted to calibrate damage indices for steel and reinforced concrete members; currently, there is a challenge to study and calibrate the use of such indices for the practical evaluation of complex structures. The aim of this paper is to introduce an energy-based damage index for multi-degree-of-freedom steel buildings that accounts explicitly for the effects of cumulative plastic deformation demands. The model has been developed by complementing the results obtained from experimental testing of steel members with those derived from analytical studies regarding the distribution of plastic demands on several steel frames designed according to the Mexico City Building Code. It is concluded that the approach discussed herein is a promising tool for practical structural evaluation of framed structures subjected to large energy demands.

추계학적 WP을 이용하여 불확실성을 고려하면서 항만 구조물의 실시간에 따른 피해와 파괴확률 그리고 잔류수명을 해석할 수 있는 모형을 수립하였다. 과거부터 현재까지의 피해상태와 미래에 발생될 피해 진행 과정에 포함되는 불확실성을 고려할 수 있는 추계학적 확률모형이다. 피해경로를 추적할 수 있으며 누적피해의 밀도함수도 산정하여 파괴확률을 추정할 수 있다. 또한 구조물의 잔류수명에 대한 밀도함수도 구할 수 있다. 최소자승법과 최우도법을 이용하여 모형의 파라미터를 추정할 수 있는 방법도 제시하였다. 검증을 위해 시간의 진행에 따른 누적피해와 잔류수명에 대한 밀도함수를 산정하고 해석하였는데 이론적인 결과가 MCS 기법의 수치적인 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다. 또한 내구수명이나 잔류수명에 대한 밀도함수의 거동과 MTTF와 MRL이 정량적으로 잘 일치하였다. 한편 본 연구에 수립된 모형을 경사제에 적용하기 위하여 피복재 피해에 대한 수리모형 실험자료를 활용하여 모형의 파라미터들을 추정하였다. 시간의 진행에 따른 피복재 누적피해의 밀도함수와 파괴확률을 산정하였는데 MCS의 결과와 이론적인 결과가 매우 잘 일치하였다. 경과시간이 클수록 밀도함수가 우측으로 이동하면서 불확실성이 커지면서 파괴확률이 급격하게 증가하였다. 또한 재령에 따른 잔류수명의 거동특성을 해석하였는데, 잔류수명의 분포함수에서 좌측보다는 우측 꼬리 부분이 길게 형성되어 MRL이 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 경사제 피복재의 피해가 완만하게 증가하는 현상을 반영한 것으로 판단된다. 특히 재령과 내구수명 그리고 잔류수명의 관계를 해석하였는데, 재령이 오래될수록 재령과 MRL의 합이 MTTF와 큰 차이를 보이고 있다. 이는 재령이 증가하면 잔류수명의 평균인 MRL이 불확실성에 의하여 급격히 감소하기 때문이다.

This paper presents a preventive maintenance model for determining the preventive replacement period of a system in which a failure rate is affected by the cumulative damage of fault and inspection. Especially, the failure rate function is considered to be a function of the cumulative damage of the fault and inspection time. Types of replacement considered are preventive replacement and failure replacement. Failure rate and expected cost function between replacement are derived. An optimal policy is obtained that minimizes the average cost per unit time for preventive replacement, failure replacement, inspection and repair.

The design of a power transmission shaft which has the limited life under cumulative damage and various mean loads was made in consideration of shaft stiffness and shape determination. All procedures were programmed so that one can see the result by connecting to graphic terminal. The diameters of designed shaft are in good agreement with those of a commercial shaft which is manufactured according to the imported design drawing sheets.

In this paper, specimen tests with simulated large seismic conditions have been carried out to investigate damage characteristics such as structural deformation and crack initiation under seismic loading. The mechanical behavior of the specimens is predicted by numerical simulations and the strain-based damage evaluations are performed. Finite element analyses of the specimens under the simulated seismic loading at room and operating temperatures were carried out for low alloy steel and stainless steel materials. Peak strain amplitude, cumulative fatigue damage and cumulative strain limit damage are calculated considering the nature of cyclic loading. In all cases, the allowable damage criteria are exceeded at the time of observing cracks visually in the tests. Therefore, it is confirmed that the material behavior due to the large seismic loads can be predicted by the numerical method and the structural damage of the materials can be evaluated conservatively based on the strain criteria.

This paper is deals with the preventive replacement for the equipment which fails only when the total amount of damage reaches a prespecified failure level. Most of replacement model use time as their decision variable, but it is not appropriate for the cases in which failures dependent on their cumulative damage levels. In this paper, a new type preventive replacement model is introduced in which an equipment is replaced before failure when the cumulative damage reaches a certain level or replaced on failure, whichever occures first. The optimal replacement damage levels which minimize total expected cost are obtained by the Dynamic programming Method when the number of use of the equipment is finite. A numerical example is also presented. The optimal preventive replacement policy when the equipment will be used for a finite time span is also discussed.

Between traffic-induced vibration of a bridge and fatigue damage of its attached structures are very closely related. But any evaluation and design method considering the fatigue damage is not established yet. As an experimental method of evaluation of the fatigue durability, a method based on cumulative damage using a stress range histogram has been often used. However, to use the method, the fatigue durability of unmeasured points could not be evaluated. Then, in this paper, dynamic analysis of a sign frame on a bridge is carried out based on the vibration data of the bridge. And model optimization was performed for good agreement between measured responses and computed responses. As a result, we could get stress range histograms and calculate fatigue durability of unmeasured points.

Most offshore structures including offshore wind turbines, ships, etc. suffer from the impulsive pressure loads due to slamming phenomena in rough waves. The effects of elasticity & plasticity on such slamming loads are investigated through wet free drop test results of several steel unstiffened flat bottom bodies in the rectangular water tank. Also, their cumulative deformations by consecutively repetitive free drops from 1000 mm to 2000 mm in height are measured.

본 연구에서는 강부재에서의 손상지수를 제시하여 반복하중재하를 받는 각형강관 기둥의 파괴에 이르는 과정을 손상지수를 이용하여 규명하였다. 이를 위해 유한요소 프로그램을 이용하여 비선형 해석을 수행하였고 이에 대한 손상과정을 비교 분석하였다. 재료시험을 실시하여 재료물성치와 강종별 변형률특성을 구하였으며 이를 바탕으로 강종과 하중재하조건의 변수를 주어 이 인자들이 부재의 손상에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 각 변수에 따른 변형률 특성과 누적소성변형률 이력곡선을 바탕으로 하는 하중조건과 강종이 손상에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 파악할 수 있었다.

The phenomenological evolution laws of damage can be defined either based on residual life or residual strength. The failure of a specimen can be defined immediately after or before fracture. The former is called in this paper by "failure defined by approach I" and the latter "failure defined by approach II." Usually at failure there is a discontinuity of loading variables and, because of this, damage at failure is discontinuous. Therefore the values of damage at failure by two different approaches are not the same. Based on this idea the sequence effects of the phenomenological evolution law of damage given by $dD/dN=g(D)f({\Phi})$ were studied. Thin-walled graphite/epoxy tubes consisting of four of $[{\pm}45]_s$ laminates were used for the experimental study of sequence effects and the effects of mean stress on fatigue life. It was found that the sequence effects in two step uniaxial fatigue for $[{\pm}45]_s$ graphite/epoxy tubular specimen showed that a high-low block loading sequence was less damaging than a low-high one.
