The prestressed concrete (PSC) technology that was first developed by Freyssinet has significantly improved over the past century in terms of materials and structural design in order to build longer, slender, and more economic structures. The application of prestressing method in structures, which is determined by the pre-tension or post-tension processes, is also affected by the surrounding conditions such as the construction site, workforce skills, and local transportation regulations. This study proposes a prestressed concrete girder design based on a hybrid segment concept. The adopted approach combines both pre-tension and post-tension methods along a simple span bridge girder. The girder was designed using newly developed 2400 MPa PS strands and 60 MPa high-strength concrete. The new concept and high strength materials allowed longer span, lower girder depth, less materials, and slender design without affecting the lateral stability of the girder. In order to validate the applicability of the proposed hybrid prestressed segments girder, a full-scale 35 m girder was fabricated, and experimental tests were performed under various fatigue and static loading conditions. The experimental results confirmed the feasibility of the proposed long-span girder as its performance meets the railway girder standards. In addition, the comparison between the measured load-displacement curve and the simulation results indicate that simulation analysis can predict the behavior of hybrid segments girders.

The object of this study is to investigate influences of supplied lubricant quantities on spur gear's pitting life. Pitting is a sort of contact fatigue failures and made by a repetitive load. Basically, pitting is difficult to predict its life by an analysis due to many factors to be considered about tribology problems. In this paper, pitting life was proved by experiment using two roller machine. For a contact fatigue test, operating circumstances should be considered. During the test, temperature and lubricant quantities are considered and to investigate an influence of lubricant quantities, a comparison between optimally enough and not enough lubricant quantity was implemented.

Magnesium alloys become popular research topic in last decade due to its light weight and relatively high strength-to-weight ratio in the energy aspiration age. Almost all structure materials are supposed to suspend stress. Magnesium is quite sensitive to corrosive environment, and also sensitive to environmental assisted cracking. However, so far we have the limited knowledge about the environmental sensitive cracking of magnesium alloys. The corrosion fatigue (CF) test was conducted. Many factors' effects, like grain size, texture, heat treatment, loading frequency, stress ratio, strain rate, chemical composition of environment, pH value, relative humidity were investigated. The results showed that all these factors had obvious influence on the crack initiation and propagation. Especially the dependence of CF life on pH value and frequency is quite different to the other traditional structural metallic materials. In order to interpret the results, the electrochemistry tests by polarization dynamic curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were conducted with and without stress. The corrosion of magnesium alloys was also studied by in-situ observation in environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The corrosion rate changed with the wetting time during the initial corrosion process. The pre-charging of hydrogen caused crack initiated at $\beta$ phase, and with the increase of wetting time the crack propagated, implying that hydrogen produced by corrosion reaction participated in the process.

In the fossil power plant, the reliability of the components which consist of the many welded parts depends on the quality of welding. The residual stress is occurred by the heat flux of high temperature during weld process. This decreases the mechanical properties as the strength of fatigue and fracture or causes the stress corrosion cracking and fatigue fracture. Especially, the accidents due to the residual stress occurred at the weld parts of high-temperature and high-pressure pipes and steam headers. Also, the residual stress of the welded part in the recently constructed power plants has been brought into relief as the cause of various accidents. The aim of this study is the measurement of the residual stress using the x-ray diffraction method. The merits of this are more accurate and applicable than other methods. The materials used for the study is P92 steel for the use of high temperature pipe on super critical condition. The variables of tests are the post-weld heat treatment, the surface roughness and the depth from the original surface. The test results were analyzed by the distributed characteristics of the full width at half maximum intensity (FWHM) in x-ray diffraction intensity curve and by the relation of hardness with FWHM.

This study derives load characteristics and analyzes the safety of plowshares operating in dry fields. We mounted a three-blade, reversible plow on a 23.7 kW tractor and measured the plow's tractive force as well as the torque from the engine output shaft on the rear axle under various working speeds (L4, M1, M2, M3). We chose a Korean test site of Seomyeon, Chuncheon with sandy soil texture, as determined using the USDA method. We constructed the load spectrum for torque and tractive force using measured data and derived the fatigue life of the plowshare from a stress-cycle (S-N) curve of the plow material. Our results show that the M3 gear maximizes the driving shaft torque loads and, applying the tractive force load spectrum, creates a cumulative damage sum of $4.14{\times}10^{-5}$. Considering sampling time, we estimate a fatigue life of 805 hours while using the M3 gear. When using the other working speeds, however, all of the stress levels fell within the endurance limits and, therefore, our model predicts infinite plowshare lifetimes. For this analysis, we used a yield strength of 1,079 MPa for the plowshare and static safety factors, analyzed using the maximum stress, between 6.83 and 8.63 under each working speed.

Offshore wind turbines are supported by various foundations, each with its considerations in design and construction. Gravity, monopile, and suction bucket foundations encounter geotechnical issues, while jacket and tripod foundations face fatigue problems. Considering this, a gravity foundation based on a steel skirt was developed, and a monopile foundation was analyzed for Pile-Soil Interaction using the p-y curve and 3D finite element method (3D FEM). In addition, for suction bucket foundations, the effects of lateral and vertical loads were analyzed using 3D FEM and centrifuge tests. Fatigue analysis for jacket and tripod foundations was conducted using a hotspot stress approach. Some hybrid foundations and shape optimization techniques that change the shape to complement the problems of each foundation described above were assessed. Hybrid foundations could increase lateral resistance compared to existing foundations because of the combined appendages, and optimization techniques could reduce costs by maximizing the efficiency of the structure or by reducing costs and weight. This paper presents the characteristics and research directions of the foundation through various studies on the foundation. In addition, the optimal design method is presented by explaining the problems of the foundation and suggesting ways to supplement them.

원자력발전소에 지진격리장치를 설치하면 지진에 의한 하중을 지진격리장치가 담당하면서 설치 전보다 큰 변위가 발생하게 될 것으로 예상되며, 변위증가에 따라 일부 설비의 지진리스크가 증가될 가능성이 있다. 특히 지진격리된 구조물과 일반 구조물을 연결하는 설비인 배관 시스템의 경우 지진리스크가 크게 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 원자력발전소 배관 시스템의 취약부위인 강재 배관 Tee의 한계상태를 누수로 정의하고 면내반복가력시험을 수행하였다. 강재 배관 Tee의 모멘트와 변형각은 기존의 센서를 이용한 계측이 어려우므로 이미지 신호를 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 3인치 강재 배관 Tee의 모멘트와 변형각의 관계를 이용한 누수 선도 및 저주기 피로 곡선들을 제시하였다.

복합재료의 파단식은 강도계수의 산정이 쉽고, 형상이 유연하며, 논리적인 단순성을 유지하기 위하여 각 파단모드와 하중조건을 고려하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 인장 및 비틀림의 이축하중에 대한 등가강도를 도입함으로써 새로운 파단식을 유도하였다. 이축 실험 결과는 등가이축강도가 cos($tan^{-1}R_b$)의 지수함수로 표현됨을 보였다. 이축하중의 파단강도는 일방향 인장강도 및 비틀림강도와 이축비의 함수로 예측할 수 있다. 실험 데이터의 산포성은 Weibull 분포함수와 등가이축강도 개념을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 일방향 인장 및 비틀림 S-N 선도로부터 복합하중하의 S-N 선도를 구할 수 있는 피로해석법을 평면 응력 모델을 기반으로 개발하였다. 예측결과는 적층복합재료의 이축강도와 피로수명의 실험 데이터와 잘 일치하였다.

군용항공기는 노후화로 인해 LRU 개조가 필요한 경우가 많다. 최근 KA-O 공중통제기에 대해 사출좌석 교체 및 항공전자장비 추가 등 LRU 개조가 진행되면서 연료소비곡선 상의 항공기 운용 무게중심이 요구 사양 범위를 벗어나게 되었다. 이러한 범위를 벗어난 무게중심은 적절한 방법을 도입하여 수정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 KA-O와 같은 군용 소형항공기의 LRU 개조로 인해 변경된 공허중량 무게중심을 수정하고 검증하는 절차를 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 LRU 수정에 따른 공허중량 무게중심의 변화를 종합적으로 관찰한 뒤, 다수의 밸러스트를 엔진 설치대에 추가되어 연료소비곡선의 공허중량 무게중심을 안전한 작동 범위로 복원시킨다. 제안된 밸러스트 배치는 다양한 작동 조건에 대한 응력 및 피로해석을 통해 설치를 검증한다. 공허중량 무게중심 수정에 대한 공개 정보가 많지 않은 점을 고려할 때 본 연구는 항공기 개조 시 공허중량 무게중심을 수정하고 검증하기 위한 절차를 제시한다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있다고 사료된다.
