This paper shows the fatigue durability test method for vehicle suspension systems. Durability should be assured for the safe driving during vehicle life cycle. A computer simulation for the vehicle dynamics was used to obtain dynamic loads that were required for the fatigue durability test. Durability tests were done for an Important load-carrying component of the suspension system. Stress analyses using stresscoat and strain gages were also done for the component. This study demonstrated an effective method for the fatigue durability test.

In this paper, we develop a durability test method that can verify the noise caused by the repeated load on the door trim grip handle. The test method was developed in consideration of the load mode and durability test cycle applied to the grip handle. In order to verify the validity of the method, we demonstrated the door trim grip handle noise that occurred in the field claim with the product in the early stage of mass production through the developed test method. Finally, It is used to detect and improve the noise of subsequent development products through the currently developed test method.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate durability of platform safety step system in railway. Method: We performed finite element analysis & durability analysis of platform safety step system with VPD (Virtual Product Development) techniques and examined the durability standard & qualification life through the rig test during no failure test time in reliability qualification test. We continued to test 1 million cycles in KRS (Korea Railway Standard) for system's robust design performance. Result: FEM analysis results are 14.9MPa & 14.7MPa of pin-joint, pivot and durability analysis result is above 1 million cycles. we calculated theoretically no failure test time 855,000 cycles and through the 1 million cycles durability rig test in KRS standard we confirmed product quality. Conclusion: This platform safety step system was designed very safe in terms of a mechanical strength & durability.

There are several kinds of driving conditions according to the characteristic of each vehicle diver. Automaker produces vehicle strong enough to satisfy this several driving conditions at the point of vehicle durability. In order to develop the car in a short period, Automaker engineer tests vehicle at serveral accelerated durability test roads. Before testing the vehicle durability, test engineer must know how much this test road severe than general field road which is composed of high way, city road, paved road and unpaved road. This paper suggests two types of road severity test method that is using relative fatigue life prediction method and using absolute fatigue life prediction method, and also present the merits and demerits of two test methods.

In this paper, the process of predicting efficient durability performance for vibration durability test of automobile parts using vibration test load on automobile fuel tank is presented. First of all, the common standard load that can be applied to the initial development process of the automobile was used for the fuel tank and the vulnerability of the fuel tank to the vibration fatigue load was identified through frequency response analysis. In addition, the vulnerability of the fuel tank was re-enacted through vibration durability test results, and the scale factor was applied to the standard load. In order to predict the vibration durability performance required for detailed design, vibration fatigue analysis was performed on the developed vehicle with the frequency of vibration severity equivalent to the durability test, and the vulnerability and life span of the fuel tank were identified through the process of applying weights to these selected standard loads, thereby reducing the test time of the development vehicle.

There are so many types of construction equipment. Excavator is one of typical construction equipment which is working under the tough and severe environments. It's important for engineers to design CE components by the vibration durability point of view. Traditionally, two typical vibration durability methods to verify the durability of components. The first is experimental method which is using the vibration durability test bench. But experimental approach on vibration durability is needed a lot of cost and time. The second is analytical method which is using the vibration durability analysis such as Dirlik, Stainberg, Lalanne and others methodologies. The one of main advantages on vibration durability analysis can reduce the cost and time. We present a vibration durability analysis process and methodology on the guardrail system in excavator.

In this study, for the establishment of the performance evaluation methods and the quality control standards of durability recovery method, the data of indoor durability test and the data of the long term exposure test under the coast are accumulated and analyzed. As a result of the indoor test, durability of repair material was more superior to that of plain concrete, but as a result of investigating and evaluating exposure test at 30 month of exposure age under the coastal environment, the difference in electric potential and the reinforcement corrosion at place replaced with repair material are found.

MSM (Modal Superposition Method) is a technique for analyzing structural durability by taking the vibration characteristics into consideration. In this paper, MSR (Modal Stress Recovery) method, which is similar to MSM, was reviewed to check its validity as a durability analysis method. The MSR method directly calculates the modal displacement time history in multibody dynamics analysis; as a result, the total analysis time is shorter than that of MSM method. We conduct durability analysis using the MSR method and a durability test of a torsion beam axle that is affected by various road loads within the natural frequency of the beam axle. The analysis results for critical location and durability were in good agreement with the respective test results. Therefore, durability analysis using the MSR method is effective in predicting the durability of the structures of various dynamic systems.

The increasing concern for reinforced concrete structure durability has been justifying in many ways in the last few decades. However, there is no perfect durability test method till now. In this research an alternative method, which is based on the cumulative moisture loss percent of the concrete specimens after oven-drying, was proposed to estimate the durability performance of the concrete. Two temperatures were considered for the oven-drying tests: $100^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$. Test results showed that oven-drying at $200^{\circ}C$ was obviously an unsuitable procedure to preserve the fragile microstructure of cement-based materials. By contrast, experimental results through oven-drying at $100^{\circ}C$ allowed estimating the moisture loss percent of cement-based materials in a more rational manner. Moreover, the magnitudes of the cumulative moisture loss percent obtained from oven-drying tests at $100^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours have good correlations with the data of other well-known methods, namely, electrical resistance test, water permeability test, and mercury intrusion porosimetry test. This investigation established that regarding the oven-drying test as one of the tests for evaluating the potential durability of concrete is considerably practicable.
