The membrane type LNG tank is non self-supporting tank which consists of both primary and secondary membrane supported through the insulation boxes by the adjacent hull struc¬ture. Although the membranes are not structural member. They are subject to periodical cyclic loads due to the thermal expansion and other expansions or contraction of membrane. At the design stage of the tank, an analytical and experimental approach on the fatigue strengths of membrane and its welds is necessary in order to assist the designer and the inpector. In this study the evaluation method of fatigue strength of membrane type LNG tank is pre¬sented with FEM analysis and fatigue test of lap welds and it contains the following:1) The fatigue tests and preparation of design S - N curve for lap welds 2) FEM analysis of test specimens 3) Estimation of cumulative damage factor of lap welds 4) Guideline for inspection of lap welds of membrane type LNG tank As the results of analytical and experimental approaches in this study, the evaluation method of fatigue strengths of membrane type LNG tank is proposed, which is expected to be useful for design and inspection of membrane type LNG tank.

The microstructural evolution of ferritic 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb steel, subjected to creep-fatigue at $550^{\circ}C$, was evaluated nondestructively by measuring the ultrasonic velocity. The variation of the ultrasonic velocity with the fatigue life fraction exhibited three regions. In the first region ($N/N_f$<0.2), a significant increase in the velocity was observed, followed by a slight increase between the fatigue life fractions of $0.2N_f$ and $0.8N_f$, and then a decrease in the final region. The change of the ultrasonic velocity during creep-fatigue was interpreted in relation to the microstructural properties. This study proposes an ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation method of quantifying the level of damage and microstructural change during the creep-fatigue of ferritic 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb steel.

Hybrid laminated Al/carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites are attracting considerable attention from industries such as aerospace and automobiles owing to their excellent specific strength and specific rigidity. However, when this material is used to fabricate high-pressure fuel storage containers subjected to repeated fatigue loads, fatigue life evaluation for the working load is regulated as an important criterion for operational safety and ease of maintenance. Among the existing evaluation methods for these vessels, the burst test and the hydraulic repeat test require expensive facilities. Thus, the present study aims to develop an improved fatigue life test for Al/CFRP laminated hybrid composites. The test specimen was manufactured using a curved mold considering the shape of a type III high-pressure storage container. The strain-life method was used for fatigue life evaluation, and the life was predicted based on the transition life. The results indicate that the more complex the CFRP stacking sequence, the longer is the transition life. This test method is expected to be useful for ensuring the fatigue safety and economy of hybrid laminate composites.

Evaluation of fatigue strength considering the springing effect of very large container ships is crucial in the design stage. In this study, we established a fatigue strength evaluation method considering a linear springing component in the frequency domain. Based on a three-dimensional global model, a fluid-structure interaction analysis was performed and the modal superposition method was applied to determine the hot spot stress at the hatch corner of very large container ships. Fatigue damage was directly estimated using the stress transfer function with a linear springing response. Furthermore, we proposed a new methodology to apply the springing effect to fatigue damage using hull girder loads. Subsequently, we estimated the fatigue damage contribution due to linear springing components along the ship length. Finally, we discussed the practical application of the proposed methods.

항공기 착륙장치의 피로설계에는 안전수명 방법이 적용된다. 즉, 균열이나 유해한 변형과 같은 구조적 결함이 항공기 운용수명 기간을 모사하는 피로 하중 스펙트럼 조건에서 발생하지 않아야 한다. 일반적으로 항공기 착륙장치는 고주기 피로 환경에 노출되므로, 설계 단계에서 착륙장치의 피로 수명은 응력 기반의 해석을 통해 예측한다. 이를 위해 재료의 분산(Scatter) 및 표면처리 특성 등을 고려한 설계 S-N 선도를 구성하여 해석에 사용한다. 시험평가 단계에서는 실물 착륙장치에 대한 피로시험을 통해 피로설계 요구조건 충족 여부를 최종 검증한다. 본 논문에서는 항공기 착륙장치의 피로수명 해석 및 시험절차를 실제 적용 사례를 통해 제시하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 변동하중을 받는 구조부재의 피로거동을 해석하는 것이다. 이 연구의 해석과정은 다음과 같다. (1) 도로교의 실동응력파측정 및 통계적해석 (2) 등가의 일정진폭하중과, 통계적해석에 의해 모형화된 변동하중하(下)의 피로시험 (3) 등가응력개념의 RMC 모델에 의한 변동하중하(下)의 피로해석 등가응력개념에 의한 변동하중하(下)의 피로해석은 대부분의 구조용강재의 균열성장속도회귀지수가 $m{\fallingdotseq}3$이므로 이론적으로 RMC 모델이 합당하다. 변동하중하(下)의 피로시험해석결과 RMC 모델이 기존의 RMC 모델보다 변동하중에 의한 피로거동치(da/dN-${\Delta}K$, $N_f$)에 더 가까웠다. 또 변동하중하(下)에서 응력범위의 변화로 인한 interaction효과나 응력범위적용순서(sequence)효과 등은 피로수명에 거의 영향을 미치지 않으며, 응력범위변화속도가 클수록 피로균열성장속도가 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다.

복합재 헬리콥터 로터 블레이드는 두께방향으로의 강도가 부족한 구조적인 특성으로 인해 외부 물체의 충돌에 의해 내부 구조물에 손상이 발생하기 쉬운 단점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 복합재 블레이드의 피로 평가 시 외부 물체의 충돌에 의해 발생하는 결함과 강도저하 현상을 함께 고려해야 한다. 이를 위해 내결함 안전 수명(flaw tolerant safe-life) 및 파손안전(fail-safe) 개념을 이용한 피로평가 방안이 1980년대부터 적용되었으며, 최근에는 회전익 항공기의 감항기준에 위의 두 개념이 손상허용(damage tolerance) 평가 방안으로 대체되었다. 본 논문에서는 회전익 항공기에 사용되는 섬유강화 복합재 로터 블레이드를 중심으로 피로수명을 평가하기 위한 관련규정을 분석하고, 국내 헬기 개발사업 등을 통해 적용된 사례들을 검토함으로써 충격손상을 고려한 섬유강화 복합재 로터 블레이드의 피로 평가 방안을 제시하였다.

A Trolley line is a very important equipment among electric railway equipments since it contacts directly with pantograph and supplies electricity on the electromotive. Such it was thought that a trolley line need not to consider fatigue since the replace cycle by wear is shorter than the replace cycle by fatigue breakage. But, the bending fatigue breakage accidents occurred several times at the Shinkansen trolley line in East Japan Railway Company. Therefore, in case of a new developed trolley line, the evaluation for bending fatigue life became more important, But, since there are not an authorized fatigue test method and a testing device for the trolley line, the quantitative evaluation is difficult. In this study, we analyzed the load and environment condition of trolley line used in the actual spot and the developed testing device that can evaluate bending fatigue properties of the trolley line as simulating the real condition. The bending fatigue test of the trolley line was achieved using the developed testing device and estimated the fatigue life of trolley line and also, established the fatigue test process.

A study on a creep-fatigue crack growth behavior has been carried out for a cylindrical structure with weldments by using a structural test and an evaluation according to the assessment procedures. The creep-fatigue crack growth behavior following the creep-fatigue crack initiation has been assessed by using the French A16 procedure and the conservatism for the present structural test has been examined. The structural specimen is a welded cylindrical shell made of 316 L stainless steel (SS) for one half of the cylinder and 304 SS for the other half. In the creep-fatigue test, the hold time under a tensile load which produces the primary nominal stress of 45 MPa was one hour at $600^{\circ}C$ and creep-fatigue loads of 600 cycles were applied. The evaluation results for the creep-fatigue crack propagation were compared with those of the observed images from the structural test. The assessment results for the creep-fatigue crack behavior according to the French Al6 procedure showed that the Al6 is overly conservative for the creep-fatigue crack propagation in the present case with a short hold time of one hour.

A Rubber mount is widely used for mechanical parts or engineering materials. Especially, it plays an important role in reducing mechanical vibration due to cyclic loading. But, rubber mount is damaged due to the cyclic loading and resonance. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate evaluation of fatigue life considering vibration characteristics for rubber. In this study, a vibration fatigue analysis was performed and based on Power Spectral Density(PSD) and the stress-life curve and a result of frequency response analysis in the finite element method. The measured load history in experiment was transformed to PSD curve. The stress-life curve was obtained by nonlinear static analysis and fatigue test. In addition, frequency response analysis was conducted for mechanical part. In order to evaluate fatigue life of rubber mount, vibration fatigue test was conducted at the constant acceleration-level as well. Fatigue life was determined when the load capacity is reduced to 60% of its initial value. As a result, predicted fatigue life of rubber mount agreed fairly well with the experimental fatigue life.
