  • Because of a sudden growth of the research of fatigue failure, recent machines or structures have been designed by damage tolerance design in many fields. Consequently, it is the most primary factor to clarity the specific character of fatique failure in the design of machines or structures considering reliability. A statistical analysis is required to analyze the outcome of an experiment or a life estimate by reason of that fatigue failure contains lots of random elements. Reliability analysis which has tukenn the place of the existing analyses in the consideration of the uncertainty of a material, is a very efficient way. Even reliability analysis, however, is not a perfect way to analyses the uncertainties of all the materials. This thesis would refer to a newly conceived data analysis that the coefficient of a system could cause the ambiguity of the relationship of an input and output.

  • In this study, the interlaminar fracture behaviors of laminated GFRP composites were investigated, and the results could be used for damage tolerance design based on fracture mechanics. Three types of laminated GFRP composites that can be used as high voltage insulating materials in magnet systems were fabricated in order to study the interlaminar fracture behavior according to the molding process. The values of interlaminar fracture toughness for the VPI, prepreg, and HPL laminate were $1.9MPa{\cdot}^{1/2}$, $1.7MPa{\cdot}^{1/2}$, and $2.2MPa{\cdot}^{1/2}$, respectively. HPL laminate showed the best fracture resistance. The failure modes of HPL and VPI were similar to that of an adhesive joint, and prepreg laminates showed partial cohesive failure mode due to internal voids.

  • Multi-pass shape rolling is performed to produce long products of arbitrary cross-sectional shapes. In the past, the multi-pass shape rolling process has been designed by the trial and error method or the experience of experts based on the empirical approach. Particularly, the design of roll caliber in shape rolling is important to improve product quality and dimensional accuracy. In this paper, the caliber design and pass schedule of multi-pass shape rolling were proposed for manufacturing piston ring wire. In order to design roll caliber, major shape parameter and dimension was determined by analysis of various caliber design. FE-simulation was conducted to verify effectiveness of proposed process design. At first, forming simulation was performed to predict shape of the product. Then, fracture of the wire was evaluated by critical damage value using normalized Cockcroft-Latham criteria. The experiment was carried out and the results are within the allowable tolerance.

  • The one year old persimmon twigs were collected to know cold tolerance at different temperatures. The selected persimmon cultivar were mast commonly growing in southern part of Korea, such as Bong-Ok, Chungdo-Bansi, Naju-Pasi and Kiwonbang growing at attached farm of Kyungpook Nat. Univ. Browning of bud was the most significant at $-15^{\circ}C$. Naju-Pasi showed no difference in damage between $-5^{\circ}C$ and $-15^{\circ}C$ so called, it is cold tolerant cultivar. Browning of the woody part showed the same tendency with the bud at $-15^{\circ}C$. Chungdo-Bansi was shown the mast weak in cold tolerance than the other cultivars. Electric conductivity was higher at $-15^{\circ}C$ in all persimmon cultivars. Naju-Pasi and Bong-Ok cultivars were weak in cold tolerance even at $-10^{\circ}C$. Bud bursting was occurred at $-15^{\circ}C$ but few on another twigs tested. Naju-Pasi was the lowest while Kiwonbang was higher in the bud bursting. From these result, Naju-Pasi and Bong-ok cultivars were lower in cold tolerance. Kiwonbang cultivar was shown cold tolerance than the other cultivars. These results can be utilized for the persimmon cultivation at different localities in future.

  • In the design of composite aircraft structures, it is very important to set material allowables and design values, which take into account certification. And when determining the material allowable and design value of composite structures, the static strength, damage tolerance requirements, and environmental effects should be considered. The building block approach has been applied to the civil and military aviation industry for a long time and provides the principal certification methodology. This current certification methodology is based on extensive testing including coupon, element, sub-component, and full scale test. In this paper, some examples of composite allowable tests have been presented and the fundamental background and application methods of the building block approach have been presented.

  • In global competition manufacturing companies have to produce modern, new constructions from advanced materials in order to increase competitiveness. The aim of my research was to develop a new composite cellular plate structure, which can be primarily used for structural elements of road, rail, water and air transport vehicles (e.g. vehicle bodies, ship floors). The new structure is novel and innovative, because all materials of the components of the newly developed structure are composites (laminated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) deck plates with pultruded Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) stiffeners), furthermore combines the characteristics of sandwich and cellular plate structures. The material of the structure is much more advantageous than traditional steel materials, due mainly to its low density, resulting in weight savings, causing lower fuel consumption and less environmental damage. In the study the optimal construction of a given geometry of a structural element of a road truck trailer body was defined by single- and multi-objective optimization (minimal cost and weight). During the single-objective optimization the Flexible Tolerance Optimization method, while during the multi-objective optimization the Particle Swarm Optimization method were used. Seven design constraints were considered: maximum deflection of the structure, buckling of the composite plates, buckling of the stiffeners, stress in the composite plates, stress in the stiffeners, eigenfrequency of the structure, size constraint for design variables. It was confirmed that the developed structure can be used principally as structural elements of transport vehicles and unit load devices (containers) and can be applied also in building construction.

  • In this paper, the cinch bag typed fruit harvesting gripper was proposed. This gripper is focused on preventing problems that we found from the related research and setting the breakthrough as a design condition according to the harvest failures of other related studies. The cover part is designed to overcome the surrounding obstacles of target fruits such as tomato, Korean melon, and sweet pepper. The measurement of maximum load showed that the well-grasped target object, such as a spherical object with 65 mm of diameter, is unable to slip in a range of 0 kg to 10 kg. The fact that the gripper allows from 4 cm to 6 cm of positional error was shown in the measurement of positional error tolerance. And the cover part of this gripper showed that the suggested gripper can grab a target object without being obstructed by leaves and stems. Finally, it was proved that the gripper satisfied the design conditions through the measurement of contacting force, which showed it is appropriate for grasping an actual fruit without damage.

  • 항공기구조는 항상 피로하중에 노출되어 있고 조류충돌과 같은 불시의 상황에 의해 손상을 입을 가능성을 가지고 있어서 이에 대한 대비책을 마련하지 않으면 인명과 재산상에 막대한 손실을 초래할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 항공기가 개발되는 초기의 설계단계부터 항공기의 안전성확보가 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 피로수명예측과 손상허용설계를 해나아가는 것이 중요하며, 그 내용을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 항상 손상의 가능성을 인정하고, 이 손상이 존재하는 경우에도 항공기의 안전이 보장 되도록 설계한다. (2) 손상이 발생하면 쉽게 발견되도록 설계한다. (3) 한 부재의 손상이 전 구조물의 파괴로 이루어지지 않도록 다중하중 경로로 설계한다. (4) 손상의 가능성이 있는 부품은 특별관리한다. (5) 안전균열성장 및 잔류강도 요구조건이 충족되도록 검사계획을 수립하며, 이 검사계획에 따라 검사를 수행한다.
