지금까지 자동차 소재의 경량화 및 연소가스의 저감은 부품의 플라스틱화를 통하여 많은 진전이 있었다. 장섬유 보강 폴리프로필렌 소재가 적용된 프론트 엔드 모듈 캐리어는 플라스틱 구조부품 중에서 가장 성공적인 사례이다. 하지만, 장기 신뢰성 측면에서 볼 때, 자동차용 플라스틱 소재에 대한 피로거동 및 진동내구에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 프론트 엔드 모듈 캐리어의 피로설계 및 해석의 기초가 되는 폴리프로필렌 장섬유 소재에 대한 내구성을 분석하였다. 피로수명과 응력진폭 또는 평균응력 간의 상관관계를 평가하기 위하여 다양한 응력비에서 피로실험을 수행하였다. 일정 응력진폭에서 응력비를 변화시킨 결과는 최대하중을 고정시킨 결과보다 피로수명의 변화가 응력비 증가에 따라 2~6% 크게 나타났다. 또한 주사전자 현미경을 통하여 장섬유 보강 폴리프로필렌 소재에 대한 피로균열의 발생, 전파의 파괴기구를 확인하였다.

Microstructure, mechanical and fatigue behaviors of TiCN and TiN/TiCN thin films, deposited on quenched and tempered STD61 tool steel, were investigated by using XRD, XPS, hardness, adhesion and fatigue tests. The TiCN thin film is grown along the (100), (111) orientation, whereas the TiN/TiCN thin film is grown along the (111) orientation. The preferred orientation of TiN/TiCN thin film strongly depends on the TiN buffer layer whose orientation is (111), as is well-known. The TiN/TiCN thin film showed the higher adhesion compared with TiCN single layer because the TiN buffer layer, having good toughness, reduces the effects of the lower hardness of substrate. In the high cycle tension-tension fatigue test, the fatigue life of the TiCN and the TiN/TiCN coated steel increased approximately two to four times and five to nine times respectively compared with uncoated specimens. The TiN buffer layer in multilayer thin films plays an important role in reducing residual stress and fatigue crack initiation, and then in restraining the fatigue propagation.

Fretting is a potential degradation mechanism of structural components and equipments exposed to various environments and loading conditions. The fretting degradation, for example, can be observed in equipments of nuclear, fossil as well as petroleum chemical plants exposed to special environments and loading conditions. It is well known that a cast stainless steel(CF8M) used in a primary reactor coolant(RCS) degrades seriously when that material is exposed to temperature range ken $290^{\circ}C{\sim}390^{\circ}C$ for long period. This degradation can be resulted into a catastrophical failure of components. In the present paper, the characteristics of the fretting fatigue are investigated using the artificially aged CF8M specimen. The specimen of CF8M are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique holding 1800hr at $430^{\circ}C$ respectively. Through the investigations, the simple fatigue endurance limit of the virgin specimen is not altered from that obtained from the fatigue tests imposed the fretting fatigue. The similar tests are performed using the degraded specimen. The results are not changed from those of the virgin specimen. The significant effects of fretting fatigue imposed on both virgin and degraded specimen on the fatigue strength are not found.

This study focused on predicting the fatigue life of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module for electric locomotives. The effects of different wiring technologies, including aluminum wires, copper wires, aluminum ribbons, and copper ribbons, on solder fatigue life were investigated to meet the high power requirement of the IGBT module. The module's temperature distribution and solder fatigue behavior were investigated through coupled electro-thermo-mechanical analysis based on the finite element method. The ribbons attained a chip junction temperature that was 30℃ lower than that attained with conventional round wires. The ribbons also exhibited a lower plastic strain in comparison with the wires. However, the difference in plastic strain and junction temperature among the different ribbon materials was relatively small. The ribbons also exhibited different crack propagation behaviors relative to the wires. For the wires, the cracks initiated at the outmost edge of the solder, whereas for the ribbons, the cracks grew in the solder layer beneath the ribbons. Comparison of fatigue failure areas indicated that ribbon bonding technology could substantially enhance the fatigue life of IGBT modules and be a potential candidate for high power modules.

용액중합 스티렌-부타디엔 고무 컴파운드 가교체의 균열저항성 및 마모특성에 미치는 공정오일의 영향을 조사하기 위해 방향족 고리화합물(PCA) 성분을 다량 함유하고 있는 방향족 오일과 저 PCA 오일을 선택하였다. 인장강도 및 인열강도 결과에 의하면 방향족 오일함유 컴파운드가 저 PCA 오일함유 컴파운드에 비해 우수한 물성을 나타내었다. 또한 방향족 오일함유 컴파운드가 균열저항성이 월등히 우수하였고, 특히 인열에너지가 낮은 범위에서 더 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 마모저항특성은 마찰에너지가 낮은 범위에서는 방향족 오일함유 컴파운드가 우수한 결과를 나타낸 반면, 높은 마찰에너지 범위에서는 저 PCA 오일 함유 컴파운드가 오히려 높은 저항성을 나타내었다.

CFRP는 탄소섬유를 기반으로 수지를 합침하여 제조된 복합소재로, 높은 비 강도와 경량성을 지녀 다양한 분야들에서 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 특히 일방향 탄소섬유는 적층 각도를 적용할 수 있으며 이때 적용된 적층 각도로 구성된 CFRP는 적층 각도가 없는 것보다 더 높은 강성을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 적층 각도 변화에 따른 CFRP 소형 인장시험편의 크랙 전파와 파괴거동에 관한 것으로, 각 적층 각도에 따른 크랙 성장의 특성을 고찰한다. 적층 각도가 증가함에 따라 최대 응력 값이 작게 나타나고 크랙 전파가 더디게 나타나지만, 적층 각도 $60^{\circ}$를 기점으로 그 응력이 다시 증가되므로 서, 적층 각도에 따른 한계를 보이고 있다. 본 연구결과는 기계구조물의 CFRP사용에 있어 구조물내의 결함이 발생하였을 때의 피로파괴 가능성을 검증하는 자료로 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Recent deepwater offshore structures in the Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of a welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical, as the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimation of the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally condrcted by using S-N curves, as specified in the codeds and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to the S-N approach often results in a very conservative assessment, because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fatigue life analysis using fracture mechanics has been applied in the design of the catenary risers. This technology enables the engineer to establish proper requirements on weld quality and inspection acceptance criteria to assure satisfactory structural integrity during its design life. It also provides guidance on proper design curves and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. Still, there is inconsistency when designing tubular joints using a conventional S-N approach and when specifying weld flaw acceptance criteria using fracture mechanics approach. This study developed fatigue curves that are consistent with both the S-N approach and the fracture mechanics approach. Accounting for non-uniform stress distribution and threshold stress intensity factor were key parameters in relating both approaches. A series of S-N curves, generated from the fracture mechanics approach, were compared to the existing S-N curves. For flat plate butt joint, the S-N curve generated from fracture mechanics matches with the IIW class 100 curve when initial crack depth was 0.5 mm (0.02 ). The new curves for tubular joint agree very well with the experimental results. The comparison also indicated the degree of conservatism built into the API X design curve.

교량바닥판의 손상이 구조물의 내구성, 안전성 및 기능에 영향을 미치기 때문에 손상된 바닥판의 성능향상을 위하여 섬유보강재를 사용한 구조물보강 사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 최근의 연구들이 구조물의 정적거동에 국한되어 있는 상이며, 피로거동에 대한 연구는 극히 제한적으로 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 쉬트형 유리섬유보강재로 보강된 11개의 바닥판시험체에 대하여 정적 및 피로실험을 실시하여 구조거동을 실험적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 정적실험변수는 보강방향에 따른 보강량을 변수로 하였으며, 정적시험결과로부터 나타난 무보강시험체와 보강시험체의 최대하중에 기초하여 피로시험시의 응력수준을 선정하였다. 시험결과 보강된 바닥판의 경우 균열진전에 대한 저항성이 증진되는 것으로 나타났으며, 응력분배 효과 또한 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께 피로시험결과 컴플라이언스 변화정도 역시 무보강바닥판에 비하여 효과적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

A half-scaled large test model for the main components of the real annular structure was built and the thermal behaviors were experimented and obtained by thermal cyclic loads. The model design and the test conditions for the thermal loads were determined to take into consideration the thermal and mechanical loads acting on the real annular structure by finite element analyses. Temperature profiles and strains of the main components of the model were measured at an early stage of the test and periodically throughout the test in the given test conditions. After completion of the thermal cyclic tests, no evidence of crack initiation and propagation were identified by a dye penetration test. The measured strains at the critical parts were slightly increased proportionally with the increase in the number of the thermal cycles.
