본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도교의 피로에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해 기존의 피로손상예측이론을 바탕으로 강철도교의 피로손상 및 피로균열발생까지의 피로수명을 평가하였으며, 또한 신뢰성이론에 근거하여 사용수명에 따른 신뢰도를 평가하였다. 그리고 이러한 평가를 바탕으로 다양한 통행조건에 대해 등가열차하중을 이용한 간편한 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 피로손상평가를 위하여 적용한 실동응력은 대상교량이 경험하는 다양한 하중조건에 대해 구조해석을 통해서 구해진 응력이력에 보정계수를 적용하여 구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 운행특성, 즉 교행조건의 고려 유 무에 따른 잔존수명은 교행특성을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 약간 긴 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 제안한 간편한 분석기법인 등가열차하중모형에 의한 잔존수명평가 결과는 상세잔존수명평가 결과와 비교하여 볼 때 그 차이가 근사한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구는 선형탄성 파괴역학적 방법을 사용하여 피로 손상을 평가할 수 있는 해석모델을 개발하는데 있다. 트럭 한 대가 교량상부를 통과할 때 부재에 발생하는 응력이력을 블록하중이라 정의하고 하중상호작용효과를 설명하는 균열닫힘 모델 이론을 적용한다. 블록하중에 대해 사하중 응력과 균열개구응력을 고려하여 응력범위빈도해석을 수행하였다. 여기서 구한 응력범위빈도분포에 확률적 방법을 적용하여 응력범위빈도분포의 확률분포 파라미타를 추 정하였다. 확률분포의 확률변수를 발생시키는 Monte Carlo Simulation 실행을 하여 파괴블럭수와 확률분포를 구한다. 이로부터 부재의 파로파괴가 발생하지 않는 피로신뢰성을 계산한다. 또한 파괴블럭수를 일평균 트럭교통량으로 나누면 예상잔존수명을 구할 수 있다. 제안된 피로신뢰성 해석모델을 사용하여 강상자형교 가로보와 수직보강개의 용접부에 피로신뢰성 해석을 수행 한 결과, 피크해석방법 결과와 잔존수명이 3.8% 정도 차이가 있었다. 이는 제안된 모델이 균열닫힘 현상이나 균열지연 형상을 고려하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

There have been many researches for small scale packages such as CSP, BGA, and Flipchip. Underfill encapsulant technology is one of the latest assembly technologies. The underfill encapsulant could enhance the reliability of the packages by flowing into the gap between die and substrate. In this paper, the effects of underfill packages by both aspects of thermal and mechanical reliabilities are studied. Especially, it is focused to value board-level reliability whether by the underfill is applied or not. First of all, The predicted thermal fatigue lifes of underfilled and no underfilled $\mu$ BGA solder joints are performed by Coffin-Manson's equation and FEA program, ANSYS(version 5.62). Also, the thermal fatigue lifes of $\mu$ BGA solder joints are experimented by thermal cycle test during the temperature, 218K to 423k. Consequently, both experimental and numerical study show that $\mu$ BGA with underfill has over ten times better fatigue lift than $\mu$ BGA without underfill.

Torsional vibration analysis is necessary at design stage to ensure the reliability of a system particularly when the driven machine is a reciprocating compressor. This paper contains the results of torsional vibration analysis and fatigue strength evaluation for 540 kW compressor driving motor. Torsional vibration analysis showed that the $2^{nd}$ torsional mode of the entire shaft system has the possibility of resonance with the $14^{th}$ order excitation of compressor and twin line frequency of motor at operating speed. Therefore, the analyses were required to ensure the structural reliability of the motor. The fatigue strength was evaluated for the shaft and inner fans using the results of forced vibration analysis. It is concluded that the motor has sufficient fatigue strength under normal operating condition.

Reliability problem in inkjet printhead, one of MEMS devices, is also very important. To eject an ink drop, the temperature of heater must be high so that ink contacting with surface reaches above $280^{o}C$ on the instant. Its heater is embedded in the thin multi-layer in which several materials are deposited. MEMS processes are the main sources of residual stresses development. Residual stress is one of the factors reducing the reliability of MEMS devices. We measured residual stresses of single layers that consist of multilayer. FE analysis is performed using design of experiment(DOE). Transient analysis for heat transfer is performed to get a temperature distribution. And then static analysis is performed with the temperature distribution obtained by heat transfer analysis and the measured residual stresses to get a stress distribution in the structure. Although the residual stress is bigger than thermal stress, thermal stress is more influential on fatigue life.

In this study, to improve the effect of the surface treatment, the shape design of shot ball is proposed. The fatigue effects of shot peening by the cut wire shot ball and the rounded cut wire shot ball are compared. The rotary bending and tensile fatigue tests are conducted on a spring steel to evaluate fatigue lives. The residual compressive stresses by the rounded cut wire shot ball is higher than by the rounded cut wire shot ball. This consequently increase the fatigue life and the reliability of surface treatment. Thus, to obtain optimum, repeatable and reliable shot peening effect the shape of the shot ball must be round.

It is necessary to evaluate fatigue strength and reliability of the connecting rod which is core part in automotive engine to assure the high level of durability of automobile. For this purpose, the loading conditions in automotive engine is obtained by the dynamic analysis. Based on these results, the critical section was identified by the finite element analysis. The fatigue strength under constant amplitude was evaluated and the mean of the fatigue limit at R = -2.27 derived from the staircase method was 311.2MPa. And the failure probability( F$\sub$p/ ) derived from the strength-stress interference model is 0.0003% at the 99.99% confidence level and the mean factor of safety was 4.2.

The ball bearing with thin-section raceways which is much lighter than other conventional bearings used in most modem passenger cars and small tracks. The important design parameters of this bearing is the groove radius of raceways, the diametral clearance, the free contact angle and so on. The optimal value of these parameters were determined by considering the dynamic load capacity, the contact angle and the calculated fatigue life. The contact angle between a ball and raceways was calculated by considering the local contact deformation and the structural deformation of thin-section raceways which was estimated by FEM. The raceways were made by means of the press-forming process. The fatigue life tester was designed and manufactured. The fatigue life test was executed and the reliability of this bearing was confirmed.

In modern automotive control modules, mechanical failures of surface mounted electronic components such as microprocessors, crystals, capacitors, transformers, inductors, and ball grid array packages, etc., are mai or roadblocks to design cycle time and product reliability. This paper presents a general methodology of failure analysis and fatigue prediction of these electronic components under automotive vibration environments. Mechanical performance of these packages is studied through finite element modeling approach fur given vibration environments in automotive application. Using the results of vibration simulation, fatigue lift is predicted based on cumulative damage analysis and material durability information. Detailed model of solder/lead joints is built to correlate the system level model and obtain solder strains/stresses. The primary focus in this paper is on surface-mount interconnect fatigue failures and the critical component selected for this analysis is 80 pin plastic leaded microprocessor.
