This study deals with spot weld ability of dissimilar aluminum alloy sheets in order to take advantage of its lightweight and strength. The paper also shows the relationship between weld elements(i.e. current, welding time and tip force) and weld quality on the resistance spot weld part of the same and dissimilar Al alloy. The conclusions are: (1) Because of excessive tip force, deep indentation remained at the Al 5182 side which is lower stiffness at the dissimilar Al alloy. (2) Weld quality (i.e. tensile shear strength) of dissimilar Al alloy is superior to that of the same Al 6061 alloy. (3) As long cycles, fatigue life of spot weld specimen on dissimilar Al alloy sheets was better than that of the same Al alloy.

기어의 구동은 여러 기계요소에서 동력전달을 가능하게 해주는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 기어 접촉면에서의 상태는 마모, 재료의 변형 그리고 윤활 상태에 따라 크게 좌우되며, 이러한 상태 변화는 기어의 수명에 큰 영향을 준다. 따라서, 이러한 상태 진단에 대한 해법은 원활한 구동을 위한 필수요소이다. 기어의 상태 변화는 연마 마모(Abrasive wear), 점식 (Pitting), 스커핑(Scuffing), 스폴링(Spalling) 등을 유발하며, 이러한 마모들은 기어로부터 발생하는 진동 레벨을 상승시킨다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼 기어를 장착한 기어 박스를 이용한 실험적 연구를 통해 기어의 표면 피로 마모를 평가하기 위해 진동 신호로부터 구해진 통계적 변수들과 Stribeck Curve 와의 상관관계를 검증하였다.

Recent deepwater offshore structures in Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical because the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimating the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally conducted by using S-N curves specified in the codes and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to S-N approach often results in very conservative assessment because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fracture mechanics and fitness for service (FFS) technology have 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 to be used and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. An attempt was made to develop set of S-N curves based on fracture mechanics approach by considering non-uniform stress distribution and a threshold stress intensity factor. Series of S-N curves generated from this 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"). Similar comparison with API X′ was made for tubular joint.. These initial crack depths are larger than the limits of inspection by current Non-destructive examination (NDE) means, such as Automatic Ultrasonic Inspection (AUT). Thus a safe approach can be taken by specifying acceptance criteria that are close to limits of sizing capability of the selected NDE method. The comparison illustrates conservatism built into the S-N design curve.

최근 연구결과 레일연마 및 장대레일화를 통해 누적통과톤수에 의한 레일교체기준의 연장이 가능한 것으로 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 장기 사용레일에 대한 실내피로시험을 수행하였고, 파괴확률 50%에서의 장기 사용레일의 잔존수명을 표현한 S-N 선도는 적은 실험데이터에 대한 가중치 확률 해석기법을 사용하여 도출하였다. 여기서 피로시험에 사용된 레일들이 누적통과톤수가 서로 다르기 때문에 누적통과톤수를 평균하여 반복횟수를 수정하였다. 또한, 레일표면요철 및 열차속도를 고려한 레일 저부 휨응력은 기존 연구결과 도출된 레일휨응력 예측식을 사용하여 장기 사용레일의 잔존수명을 평가하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 도시철도에서 레일연마를 통한 레일관리가 이루어진다면 누적통과톤수에 의한 레일교체기준(약 8억톤)보다 약 2억톤이상 연장 사용이 가능하며, 피로한도 이하의 응력범위에 대한 피로시험결과를 바탕으로 레일의 피로수명을 평가하기 위해서는 수정마이너법칙보다는 피로한도 이상에서의 S-N선도 기울기의 1/2인 하이바크법칙을 적용하는 것이 합리적이라 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 레일체결장치용 방진패드의 사용수명 및 스프링강성을 평가하고자 비선형 재료모델 및 피로하중조건을 적용한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 피로해석 결과, 초기조건 대비 스프링강성의 변화율은 약 16%로 나타나 피로경화가 발생된 것으로 분석되었다. 방진패드의 길이방향으로 발생되는 응력은 중앙부와 외곽부(Edge)의 발생응력의 차이가 약 10배 이상 발생되었다. 또한 중앙부 보다 외곽 경계부의 등가응력이 2배 이상 크게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 실제 사용조건에서 방진패드의 손상 및 변형 취약부는 방진패드의 모서리부분인 것으로 분석되었다. 피로해석을 통해 산출된 반복횟수에 따른 방진패드의 등가응력을 이용하여 방진패드의 피로수명선도를 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 방진패드의 피로수명선도를 이용하여 향후 다양한 하중조건에서 방진패드의 등가응력을 산출하여 해당조건에서의 피로수명을 예측하는 데에 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to analyze feasibility of replacing a conventional 6-mm Ti bar with a 5-mm bar, a series of rotating bending fatigue tests were carried out on Ti-6Al-4V bars by strengthening the fatigue performance using a special technique called UNSM (Ultrasonic Nanocrystal Surface Modification). The results of S-N curves clearly showed that the performance of the 5-mm titanium specimen was similar to that of the 6-mm specimen when the UNSM treatment was applied. The 5-mm treated specimen converged with small scattering band into the linear line of the non-treated 6-mm one. Below the fatigue life of $10^5$ cycles, the UNSM treatment did not show any significant superiority in the bending stress and fatigue life. However, over the fatigue life of $10^5$ cycles, the effect of UNSM was superior for each fatigue life, and the bending stress became longer and higher than that of the untreated one. In the case of 6-mm Ti-bar with UNSM, the fatigue limit was about 592 MPa, and there was fatigue strength increase of about 30.7% at the fatigue life of $10^4$ cycles compared to the untreated 6-mm bar. Therefore, the compressive residual stress made by the UNSM in Ti-6Al-4V increased the fatigue strength by more than 30%.

The vertical roller mill, which performs the grinding and partly blending of raw material, is the one of the important machine to produce ordinary portland cement. It has been reported that an unexpected fatigue failure occurred in a table liner in the course of grinding portland cement. The life of table liner is estimated to $4{\times}10^7$ cycles in the design stage, but at the field, when its operating time reaches to $2{\times}10^6{\sim}8{\times}10^6$ cycles, the fracture of table liner begins to be found. The fracture of table liner is initiated from the outside edge of grinding path contacting with the grinding roller. Its maintenance normally take 30 % of the total maintenance costs of the roller mill. Therefore, this study shows the clarification of the reasons occurring the fatal destruction of the table liner by fatigue fracture analysis utilizing fracture mechanics and by the finite element method. And, the results from Goodman diagram illustrate relationship of including information on the transition between tensile and bending fatigue strength in the fatigue characterization of table liner.

In the current study, a method was proposed to quantitatively predict the wear and fatigue life of a shearing die in order to determine an effective replacement period for the die. The shearing die model of a retainer manufacturing process was used for the proposed method of quantitative life prediction. The retainer is produced through shearing steps, such as piercing and notching. The shearing die of the retainer is carefully controlled because the dimensional accuracy of the retainer is critical. The fatigue life for the shearing die was predicted using ANSYS considering S-N curves of STD11 and Gerber’s equation. The wear life for the shearing die was predicted using DEFORM-3D considering the Archard’s wear model. Experimental shearing of the retainer was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method for predicting die life. The fatigue failure of the shearing die was macroscopically measured. The wear depth was measured using a 3D coordinate measuring machine. The results showed that the wear and fatigue life in the FE analysis agree well with the experimental results.
