In this study, new multi-axial, critical plane based, fretting fatigue crack initiation parameter is developed by the addition of a new term into the Modified Shear Stress Range(MSSR) parameter. The newly developed parameter (MSSR') is then used to evaluate fretting fatigue life of titanium alloy, Ti-6A1-4V with various contact conditions. Finite element analysis is also used in order to obtain stress distribution on the contact surface during fretting fatigue test, which is then used for the calculation of fretting fatigue parameter. The MSSR' parameter shows better performance in predicting fretting fatigue lives from the conventional fatigue data, and less scattering within fretting fatigue data with different contact geometries.

The spot welding method has been used in the joining of structures, automotive body, railway carriage, aircraft, household electric appliances, precision parts etc., because of brief working, easy automation, available mass production, and convenience. In this paper, the effects of welding conditions on the fatigue life and the prediction of fatigue life based on fracture mechanics theory of spot welded joint were investigated. Fatigue tests were conducted with the tensile-shear specimens welded in the various current using cold rolled steel sheets. Fatigue life of spot welded joint was predicted and compared with experimental results. Using FEM(finite element method), we analysed the distribution of stress and the condition of deformation on the environments of nugget.

Self-piercing riveting(SPR) is becoming an important joining technique for automotive application of various material sheets and shapes. Fatigue behavior of SPR conections needs to be investigated experimentally and numerically to predict SPR fatigue lives. The simulations of various SPR specimens (Coach-Peel specimen, Cross-Tension specimen, Tensile-Shear specimen, Pure-Shear specimen) are performed to predict the fatigue life of SPR connections under different material combinations. Finite element models of various SPR specimens are developed using a FEMFAT SPOT SPR pre-processor. The fatigue lives of SPR specimens are predicted using a FEMFAT 4.4e based on the liner finite element analysis.

This paper describes the thermal fatigue life prediction models for 95.5Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints of Flip chip package considering Under Bump Metallurgy(UBM). A 3D Finite element slice model was used to simulate the viscoplastic behavior of the solder. For two types of solder bump pitches, simulations were analyzed and the effects of underfill packages were studied. Consequently, it was found out that solder joints with underfill had much better fatigue life than solder joints without underfill, and solder joints with $300{\mu}m$ bump pitch had a longer thermal fatigue life than solder joints with $150{\mu}m$ bump pitch. Through the simulations, flip chip with lead-free solder joints should be designed with underfill and a longer bump pitch.

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are those bridges without expansion joints. A single row of steel H-piles (SHPs) is commonly used at the thin and stub abutments of IABs to form a flexible support system at the bridge ends to accommodate thermal-induced displacement of the bridge. Consequently, as the IAB expands and contracts due to temperature variations, the SHPs supporting the abutments are subjected to cyclic lateral (longitudinal) displacements, which may eventually lead to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) failure of the piles. In this paper, the potential of using finite element (FE) modeling techniques to estimate the LCF life of SHPs commonly used in IABs is investigated. For this purpose, first, experimental tests are conducted on several SHP specimens to determine their LCF life under thermal-induced cyclic flexural strains. In the experimental tests, the specimens are subjected to longitudinal displacements (or flexural strain cycles) with various amplitudes in the absence and presence of a typical axial load. Next, nonlinear FE models of the tested SHP specimens are developed using the computer program ANSYS to investigate the possibility of using such numerical models to predict the LCF life of SHPs commonly used in IABs. The comparison of FE analysis results with the experimental test results revealed that the FE analysis results are in close agreement with the experimental test results. Thus, FE modeling techniques similar to that used in this research study may be used to predict the LCF life of SHP commonly used in IABs.

To ensure the structural integrity of the autofrettaged thick-walled cylinder subjected to cyclic internal pressure loading, the fatigue crack propagation life of the cylinder was evaluated. Stress intensity factors of the external cracked cylinder due to internal pressure and autofrettage loadings were calculated using the finite element method. The fatigue crack propagation lives of the cylinder based on the fracture mechanics concepts were predicted and compared to the experimental fatigue lives evaluated from the C-shaped simulation specimens. There were good correlations between the predicted and experimental fatigue lives within a factor of 3 for the single and double grooved C-shaped simulation specimens. Predicted fatigue crack propagation lives of the double grooved cylinders were about 1.5-5 times longer than those of the single grooved cylinders depending on the levels of autofrettage.

In this study, we have generated fatigue load spectrum that is using to prediction of life time for the helicopter rotor blades. We derive utility helicopter missions for the sake of generating load spectrum. Helix and Felix are standard loading sequences which relate to the main rotors of helicopters with articulated and semi-rigid rotors respectively. We got scale factors which is applied to specific case and it did be obtained through the finite element analysis tools. The fatigue life of the rotor blade is estimated by using MSC/Fatigue. We suggest that generated our fatigue load spectrum in conjunction with small utility helicopter should use to rotor blade fatigue test of the korea helicopter program.

In this study, internal fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior were investigated by triple piece spot welded specimen. To estimate fatigue life of the specimen varied with shape and thickness, Crack tip opening angle(CTOA) correlated with stress intensity factor was used as the stiffness parameter. The relation between fatigue life and CTOA can be arranged by the quantitative equation for each specimen by experiment. In addition, the variation of stress distribution was solved and the effect on fatigue crack behavior was examined by finite element method(FEM).

The bottom-leaded plastic(BLP) packages have attracted substantial attention since its appearance in the electronic industry. Since the solder materials have relatively low creep resistance and are susceptible to low cycle fatigue, the life of the solder joints under the thermal loading is a critical issue for the reliability The represent study established a finite element model for the analysis of the solder joint reliability under thermal cyclic loading. An elasto-plastic constitutive relation was adopted for solder materials in the modeling and analysis. A 28-pin BLP assembly is modeled to investigate the effects of various epoxy molding compound, leadframe materials on solder joint reliability. The fatigue life of solder joint is estimated by the modified Coffin-Hanson equation. The two coefficients in the equation are also determined. A new design for lead is also evaluated by using finite element analysis. Parametric studies have been conducted to investigate the dependence of solder joint fatigue life on various package materials.
