복잡한 기계장치에 대한 내구신뢰성 평가는 단순한 응력해석을 통해 피로수명을 예측하는 것이 일반적인 방법이다. 하지만 기존 방법은 유한요소 해석 시 여러 가지 요인에 의해 일관된 응력해석 결과를 얻기 어려워 해석자에 따라 상이한 수명을 예측하는 단점을 지닌다. 하지만 구조응력을 기반으로 하는 내구신뢰성 평가 기법은 이러한 단점을 보완하여 보다 합리적인 결과를 제공해 준다. 구조응력기법은 유한요소 모델의 요소 수와 요소 형태에 무관하게 일관된 응력결과를 제공하기 때문에 신뢰성이 높은 내구도 평가 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 해석조건 및 환경에 독립적인 결과를 제공해 주는 구조응력은 최근 대형선박 설계 및 각종 기계장치의 피로수명 예측에 종종 활용되고 있어 보다 깊이 있고 체계적인 연구가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 (a) 유한요소모델의 형태에 상관없이 요소에 독립적인 구조응력 산출기법을 제시하고, (b) 이를 이용하여 자동차 클러치 스냅링부의 구조응력 산출하여 피로파괴를 예측하고자 한다.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cable has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the anchorage of CFRP cable is a big issue due to the anisotropic property of CFRP material. In this article, a high-efficient bonding anchorage with novel configuration is developed for CFRP cables. The acoustic emission (AE) technique is employed to evaluate the performance of anchorage in the fatigue test and post-fatigue ultimate bearing capacity test. The obtained AE signals are analyzed by using a combination of unsupervised K-means clustering and supervised K-nearest neighbor classification (K-NN) for quantifying the performance of the anchorage and damage evolutions. An AE feature vector (including both frequency and energy characteristics of AE signal) for clustering analysis is proposed and the under-sampling approaches are employed to regress the influence of the imbalanced classes distribution in AE dataset for improving clustering quality. The results indicate that four classes exist in AE dataset, which correspond to the shear deformation of potting compound, matrix cracking, fiber-matrix debonding and fiber fracture in CFRP bars. The AE intensity released by the deformation of potting compound is very slight during the whole loading process and no obvious premature damage observed in CFRP bars aroused by anchorage effect at relative low stress level, indicating the anchorage configuration in this study is reliable.

Although the previous researches evaluated the fatigue behavior of Al/GFRP laminates using the traditional fracture mechanism, their researches were not sufficient to do it : the damage zone of Al/GFRP laminates was occurred at the delamination zone instead of the crack-metallic damages. Thus, previous researches were not applicable to the fatigue behavior of Al/GFRP laminates. The major purpose of this study was to evaluate delamination behavior using the relationship between crack length (a) and delamination width (b) in Al/GFRP laminate. The details of investigation were as follows: 1) Relationship between the crack length (a) and the delamination width (b), 2) Relationship between the delamination aspect ratio (b/a) and the delamination area rate ((A$\_$D/)/subN// (A$\_$D/)$\_$All/), 3) The effect of delamination aspect ratio (b/a) on the delamination shape factor (f$\_$s/) and the delamination growth rate (dA$\_$D// da). As results, it was known that the delamination aspect ratio (b/a) was decreased and the delamination area rate ((A$\_$D/)$\_$N// (A$\_$D/)$\_$All/) was increased as the normalized crack size (a/W) was increased. And, the delamination shape factors (f$\_$s/) of the ellipse-II(f$\_$s3/) was greater than of the ellipse-I(f$\_$s2/) but that of the triangle (f$\_$s1/) was less than of the ellipse-I(f$\_$s2/).

피로하중(疲勞荷重)을 받는 RC 구조물은 정하중(靜荷重)을 받는 경우에 비(比)하여 큰 변형율(變形率)과 미세균열(微細龜裂)을 수반하게 된다. 계속되는 반복하중(反復荷重)으로 인하여 균열(龜裂)은 진전(進展)하게 되고 이러한 균열부(龜裂部)의 응력집중(應力集中)은 스터럽과 인장철근(引張鐵筋)의 변형율(變形率)을 계속 증가(增加)시키게 되어 결과적(結果的)으로 RC 구조물은 파괴(破壞)단계에 이르게 된다. 스터럽의 변형율(變形率)은 사인장균열(斜引張龜裂)이 발생(發生)하면서 급격한 증가(增加)를 보이게 되며 이와 같은 스터럽의 평균변형율(平均變形率)은 반복회수(反復回數)(N)의 증가(增加)에 따라 logN에 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 RC 구조물의 파괴(破壞)는 콘크리트의 균열성장(龜裂成長)과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 또한, RC 구조물의 피로수명(疲勞壽命)을 100만(萬) cycle로서 볼 때 이에 대한 피로강도(疲勞强度)는 정적극한강도(靜的極限强度)의 약 60~70% 정도로 알려져 있다. 본(本) 실험(實驗)에서 사용(使用)된 RC 구조물의 피로강도(疲勞强度)는 약 70%로서 기존의 연구결과(硏究結果)와 잘 부합됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 RC 구조물이 이보다 높은 피로하중(疲勞荷重)을 받게되면 피로수명(疲勞壽命)은 훨씬 짧아지게 되며, 이와 같이 피로하중(疲勞荷重)과 피로수명(疲勞壽命)과의 관계는 서로 반비례(反比例)함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Failure analyses of the screws in spinal fixation devices were carried out. The fractured screws were retrieved from a patient who had spinal surgery in the thoracic vertebrae from number 10 to 15. The failure occurred one month after the removal of the braces. Microstructures and fracture surfaces were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The microstructures of the screws corresponded to annealed Ti-6Al-4V bar. However, in the vicinity of the screw surface, there was an insufficient number of fine precipitates. Fracture surfaces showed typical fatigue failure modes. Regarding the fact that no machining defects were detected, fatigue crack initiation might have been caused by the lack of precipitates near the screw surfaces. Only the fourth of five fixed screws was severely stress-concentrated by the action of the spinal bones, while the stress of the 4th screw was decreased to half of its acceptable level when the screw was supplemented by one more, which might have been fixed in the 6th vertebra under the 5th position by the switching of its position. The stress simulation was conducted by ANSYS with 3D CAD of PRO/E in order to understand the stress concentration behavior and to provide an effective spinal surgery guide.

The metal matrix composites(MMC) are currently receiving a great deal of attention. These composites possess exellent mechanical and physical properties such as modulus, strength, wear resistance and thermal stability, which make them very attractive for use in automotive piston. In this study, $Al/{Al_2}{O_3}$(15%) composites are fabricated by the squeeze casting method. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and ductility are performed at room and elevated temperature($250^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$), respectively. Through thermomechanical analyser, thermal expansion coefficient of $Al/{Al_2}{O_3}$ composites are conducted for ranging from room temperature to ($400^{\circ}C$.And bending fatigue tests are also performed by the rotary bending machine at room temperature.The tensile strength and elastic modulus have been improved up to 38% and 35% by the addition of the reinforcements, respectively. Thermal expansion coefficients of MMCs which is located normal and parralel to the applied pressure are showed slightly different less than 10%. Fatigue strengh of the composite was improved by about 20% compared with that of unreinforced Al alloy. The results of this study will be used to understand the basic fracture behavior of MMCs and eventually to expand the applocation of MMCs as a machine parts undertaken various loadings.

Liquid natural gas is stored and transported inside cargo tank which is made of specially designed cryogenic materials such as 9% Ni steel, Al5083-O alloy and SUS304 and so on. The materials have to keep excellent ductile characteristics under the cryogenic environment, down to -163oC, in order to avoid the catastrophic sudden brittle fracture during the operation condition. High manganese steel is considered to be the promising alternative material that can replace the commonly used materials mentioned above owing to its cost effectiveness. In line with this industrial need, the mechanical properties of the high manganese steel under both room and cryogenic environment were investigated in this study focused on its tensile and fatigue behavior. In terms of the tensile strength, the ultimate tensile strength of the base material of the high manganese steel was comparable to the existing cryogenic materials, but it turned out to be undermatched one when welding is involved in. The fatigue strength of the high manganese steel under room temperature was as good as other cryogenic materials, but under cryogenic environment, slightly less than others though better than Al 5083-O alloy.

In micromechanical system (MEMS) such as microactuators. thin film has been widely used as structural material. MEMS materials have difference with bulk in terms of mechanical properties. So, we design the advanced test structure for micromechanical properties of MEMS. The designed structure includes the newly developed pre-crack and it is driven by electrostatic force. To measure the fracture toughness, the pre-crack formation in the test structure is developed with conventional etching process. The advanced test structure is fabricated by application of semiconductor technology. After this, we propose analytical methodology to evaluate the fracture toughness and fatigue properties through a prediction of crack behavior from the variations of stiffness and frequency. Additionally, life time of a mirror plane used in DVD(Digital Video Disk) is measured as a function of capacitance and applied voltage under the accelerated conditions. Ultimately, we propose the method to evaluate the micromechanical reliabilities of the MEMS materials using the advanced test structure.
