The strength and fatigue life of Satin and Twill-woven CF/epoxy composite(CFRP) have been investigated. Damage mechanism fatigue method has been used to assess fatigue damage accumulation. It is based on measured residual stiffness and residual strength of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) laminates under cyclic loading. Fatigue damage evolution in composite laminates and predict fatigue life of the laminates were simulated by finite element analysis(FEA) method. The stress analysis was carried out in MSC patran/Nastran. A modified Hashin's failure criterion di rmfjapplied to predict the failure of the experimental data of fatigue life but a Ye-delamination criterion was ignored because of 2D modeling. Almost linear stiffness and strength degradation were observed during most of the fatigue process. These stress distribution data were adopted in the simulation to simulate fatigue behavior and estimate life of the laminates. From the results, the predicted fatigue life is more conservatively estimated than the experimental results.

한정된 수량의 시험편만으로 자동차용 머플러의 신뢰도 높은 내구수명데이터를 얻기 위하여 통계적 피로수명 평가법을 이용하였다. 시험품은 실제 차량에 적용되는 것과 동일하게 제작하였고, 하중제어 반복굽힘 피로시험을 수행하였다. 피로시험을 통해 얻은 데이터를 정규분포, 대수정규분포, 와이블분포로 적용하여 각각의 곡선들을 비교하였으며 와이블분포의 경우 최우추정법, 최소제곱법, 가중치를 적용한 최소제곱법을 이용하여 모수를 각각 추정하였다. 각각의 확률분포에 대해 적합도 검정을 수행하였으며 최종적으로 최소제곱법을 이용한 와이블분포가 선정되었다. 선정된 와이블분포로 피로특성을 반영한 확률-모멘트-수명 곡선(P-M-N Curve)을 제시함으로서 자동차용 머플러의 신뢰성 설계를 위한 기초자료로써 활용이 가능하도록 하였다.

The silicon carbide particles reinforced aluminium 6061($SiCp/A\ell$) composites are generally known have wild range of applications from automobiles to airospaces. But, by the results of existing study for $SiCp/A\ell$ composites, there are reports that the fatigue life of $SiCp/A\ell$ composites has improved than $A\ell$matrixes and has not improved then $A\ell$ matrixes. Consequently, in order to perform the reliable life prediction for $SiCp/A\ell$, the properties of probability distribution of fatigue crack initiation life & fracture life, crack growth length in constant number of cycles, crack growth rate in constant stress intensity factor range and m & C value in Paris's fatigue crack growth law and the estimation of statistical parameters have been evaluated by the statistics method.

Up to now, many crack repair techniques have been developed for inhibiting crack growth in structural components. However, the simplest way for inhibiting crack growth is to apply a indentation at the crack tip or at some distance ahead of the expected crack growth path so as to produce residual compressive stresses that can reduce the effective stresses around the crack tip. In spite of its importance to the aerospace industry, little attention has been devoted to evaluation of the indentation residual stress effect on the fatigue crack initiation life quantitatively. Therefore, in the present work, the magnitude and distribution of the indentation residual stresses were investigated in order to estimate the beneficial effect on fatigue crack initiation by using finite element method. Furthermore, to examine the validity of finite element analysis results, residual stress distribution in the indented specimen was measured by using X-ray diffraction technique, and fatigue crack behavior at fastener hole in aluminum alloy 7075-T6 before and after indentation processes was investigated.

In this study, fatigue growth behavior of the transverse crack, which was the most dangerous damage among the various types of rail defects, was investigated using the notched keyhole specimen under constant amplitude loadings. Fatigue limit of smooth specimen in rail steel at R=0 was 110MPa, and the fatigue crack initiation life in the region of the low stress amplitude (ie. long life) occupied the major portion of the total fatigue life. The fatigue strength under variable amplitude loading was converted to the equivalent fatigue strength based upon. Miners rule, which was estimated approximately 9% lower than that under constant amplitude loading. Also, in the low ΔK(sub)rms region ($\leq$21MPa√m), fatigue crack growth rate (da/dN) under constant amplitude loading was higher than that under variable amplitude loading, whereas the tendency was reversed in the high ΔK(sub)rms region. It is believed that this behavior is due to the transition of fracture appearance.

This work focused on aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) with different foam core densities and different face-sheet thicknesses subjected to constant amplitude three-point bending cyclic loading to study its fatigue performance. The experiments were conducted out by a high frequency fatigue test machine named GPS-100. The experimental results showed that the fatigue life of AFS decreased with the increasing loading level and the structure was sensitive to cyclic loading, especially when the loading level was under 20%. S-N curves of nine groups of AFS specimens were obtained and the fatigue life of AFS followed three-parameter lognormal distribution well. AFS under low cyclic loading showed pronounced cyclic hardening and the static strength after fatigue test increased. For the same loading level, effects of foam core density and face-sheet thickness on the fatigue life of AFS structure were trade-off and for the same loading value, the fatigue life of AFS increased with aluminum foam core density or face-sheet thickness monotonously. Core shear was the main failure mode in the present study.

Engineering materials have been studied and developed remarkably for a long time. But, few reports about marine propeller materials are presented. Recently, some researchers have studied the material strength of marine propellers. However, studies on parametric sensitivity and probabilistic distribution of fatigue life of propeller materials have not been made yet. In this study, a method to predict the probabilistic distributions of fatigue life of propeller materials is presented, and the influence of several parameters on the life distribution is discussed.

Low cycle fatigue characteristics of cast aluminum alloy A356 with a yield strength and ultimate strength of 229 and 283 MPa respectively was evaluated using smooth axial specimen under strain controlled condition. Reversals to failure ranged from 16 to 107. The cast aluminum alloy exhibited cyclically strain-gardening behavior. The results of low cycle fatigue tests indicated that the conventional low cycle fatigue tests indicated that the conventional low cycle fatigue life model was not a satisfactory representation of the data. This occurred because the elastic strain-life curve was not-log-log linear and this phenomena caused a nonconservative and unsafe fatigue life prediction at both extremes of long and short lives. A linear log-log total strain-life model and a bilinear log-log elastic strain-life model were proposed in order to improve the representation of data compared to the conventional low cycle fatigue life model. Both proposed fatigue life models were statistically analyzed using F tests and successfully satisfied. However, the low cycle fatigue life model generated by the bilinear log-log elastic strain-life equation yielded a discontinuous curve with nonconservatism in the region of discontinuity. Among the models examined, the linear log-log total strain-life model provided the best representation of the low cycle fatigue data. Low cycle fatigue life prediction method based on the local strain approach could conveniently incorporated both proposed fatigue life models.

본 연구에서는 강도로교의 피로파손의 위험을 예측할 수 있는 실용적 모형을 개발하였다. 제안된 피로해석 모형은 피로신뢰성 이론과 교량의 피로수명에 영향을 미치는 여러가지 요인들을 고려하여 유도되었다. 피로신뢰성 함수는 Weibull분포로 가정하였고, Weibull의 수치계산형태는 강재의 피로수명과 변진폭재하로 인한 응력범위 등의 통계적 불확실량을 모두 포함하는 Ang-Munse의 식을 사용하였다. 피로해석모형에는 교량이용 기간중에 발생할 수 있는 일평균교통량(ADTT)의 변화, 재하이력의 변화, 진추조사의 효과 등을 고려하였다. 응력범위 주상도는 개설 교량에 대한 현장실측결과로부터 구한 랜던 응력파로부터 작도하고, 그 결과 구해지는 응력범위분포는 Beta분포로 모형화 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 피로해석 방법을 실제 개설 교량에 대해 적용한 결과, 제안된 피로해석모형과 수치계산을 위하여 개발된 전산프로그램은 기설 노후 강교의 피로 내하력 판정이나 잔존수명의 예측 등을 위한 실용적인 방법으로 사용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

The evaluation of specimen thickness effect of fatigue crack growth life by the simulation of probabilistic fatigue crack growth is presented. In this paper, the material resistance to fatigue crack growth is treated as a spatial stochastic process, which varies randomly on the crack surface. Using the previous experimental data, the non-Gaussian(eventually Weibull, in this report) random fields simulation method is applied. This method is useful to estimate the probability distribution of fatigue crack growth life and the variability due to specimen thickness by simulating material resistance to fatigue crack growth along a crack path.
