Several methods have been developed to predict the rupture time of the boiler tubes in thermal power plant. However, existing life prediction methods give very conservative value at operating stress of power plant and rupture strain cannot be well estimated. Therefore, in this study, rupture time and strain prediction method accounting for creep, corrosion and heat transfer is newly proposed and compared with the current research results. The creep damage evolves by continuous cavity nucleation and constrained cavity growth. The corrosion damage evolves by steam side and fire side corrosion. The results showed good correlation between the theoretically predicted rupture time and the current research results. And rupture strain may be well estimated by using the proposed method.

Fatigue tests for extremely thick plates require a great deal of manufacturing time and are expensive to perform. Therefore, if predictions could be made through simulation models such as an artificial neural network (ANN), manufacturing time and costs could be greatly reduced. In order to verify the effects of fatigue strength depending on the various factors in SM520C-TMC steels, this study constructed an ANN and conducted the learning process using the parameters of calculated stress concentration factor, thickness and input heat energy, etc. The results showed that the ANN could be applied to the prediction of fatigue life.

To make practical applications of Al-Zn-Mg ternary aluminum alloy effectively in various field, a series of static creep tests under the 16 temperature-stress combination conditions had been performed. The creep tester with constant stress loading was designed and made by the authors and used in this study. The higher the creep temperature rose, the less the stress exponents became. The bigger the applied stresses became, the less values the creep strain activation energy showed. The life prediction constant of Larson-Miller parameter was calculated as about 2.3. In the fractography, the ductile fracture with dimples by intergranular breakage was primarily observed. We can make practical use of these test data in the design, the life prediction and the prevention of the accidents of the thermal facilities, etc.

A rigid-plastic finite element analysis for the die forging process of a socket ball joint, which is used in the transportation system, was carried out. And also with the results, the elastic stress analysis for the forging die was performed in order to get basic data for the die life prediction. The die fatigue life prediction was simulated using Goodman's and Gerber's equation. The prediction technique for the fatigue life of a forged product, the socket ball joint, using DEFORM-3D is presented and the results are commented upon. Archard's wear model was used for the wear simulation and then the wear simulation and then the wear quantity was quantity was evaluated using volume. In order to prove the wear simulation results to be reliable, wear quantity of the real forging die set in used a forging factory was measured using a 3-dimensional measurement apparatus. The simulation results were relatively in good agreement with the experimental measurements.

국내의 강교 도장 시방에 등재되어 있는 도장계에 대한 공용수명 예측을 위하여 현장 열화도 평가 및 촉진 내후성 시험을 수행하였고, 평가 결과에 대한 회귀분석을 통하여 열화모델을 도출하였다. 현장 적용 실적이 없는 도장계에 대해서는 국외 연구 결과 및 본 연구에서 수행한 촉진 내후성 시험 결과를 참고하여 염화고무계 및 우레탄 마감 도장계의 현장 열화도 평가 결과에 열화도 항목별 조정계수를 적용하여 가상의 평가 결과를 도출한 후에 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 공용수명 예측 결과는 금속용사를 적용하면 도장계의 수명을 일반 도장계 대비 2배 이상 연장시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 Gehring, CSM, NTNU 모델을 이용한 디스크 커터 수명 예측 방법과 각 모델이 가지는 특징을 살펴보았다. 디스크 커터 수명에 크게 영향을 주는 요소인 관입깊이, 암석의 일축압축강도, 마모지수의 변화가 각각의 예측 모델들에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 디스크 커터 수명은 1회전당 관입깊이에 선형적으로 증가하였고, 일축압축강도의 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 마모지수인 CAI 값이 증가함에 따라 Gehring과 CSM 모델에서의 디스크 커터 수명은 감소하였으나, CLI 값이 증가할수록 NTNU 모델의 디스크 커터 수명은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 실제 현장 자료를 이용하여 디스크 커터 수명을 상호 비교하였다.

This paper deals with a fatigue life prediction of a surface crack based on the experimentally obtained relationship between surface crack length ratio $a/a_{f}$ and cycle ratio $N/N_{f}$ using micro computer. Firstly $a/a_{f}$-$N/N_{f}$ curves obtained from experimental tests, were assumed as three curves UC(the upper limit curve), LC(the lower limit curve) and MC(the middle curve), and these were utilized to predict the fatigue life. Comparing the calculated values which represent the characteristics of crack growth behaviors from the three assumed curves with the experimental ones, it has been found that in the stable crack growth region, they coincide reasonably well each other. And the differences between the fatigue lives obtained from the assumed curves and the experimental fatigue life did not exceed 20%. Using the characteristics of $a/a_{f}$-$N/N_{f}$ curves, it is possible to predict the da/dN-Kmax curves and the S-$N_{f}$ curves.

액체로켓 연소기 재생냉각 챔버 내피에 사용되는 구리합금의 가동 수명을 예측하기 위해서 피로 수명에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 수명을 예측하기 위해서 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 공통 경사법, 수정 공통 경사법, Mitchell의 방법, B$\"{a}$umel 과 Seeger의 방법, Ong의 방법들이 사용되었으며, 거의 모든 데이터가 현재 널리 사용되는 방법들로 예측이 잘 되지 않아 Ong의 방법을 수정한 새로운 수명식을 제안하였다. 제안된 수정 Ong의 방법은 3X 흩어짐 범위에서 수명을 잘 예측하였다.

The present paper reports the life time prediction of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene rubber (NBR) fuel cell gasket materials as a function of operational variables like acid concentration, ageing time and temperature. Both material and accelerated acid-heat aging tests were carried out to predict the useful life of the NBR rubber gasket for use as a fuel cell stack. The acid ageing of the gasket compounds has been investigated at 120, 140 and $160^{\circ}C$, with aging times from 3 to 600 h and increasing acid ($H_2SO_4$) concentrations of 5, 6, 7 and 10 vol%. Material characteristics the gas compound such as cross-link density, tensile strength and elongation at break were studied. The hardness of the NBR rubber was found to decrease with decreasing acid concentration at both 120 and $140^{\circ}C$, but at $160^{\circ}C$ interestingly the hardness of the NBR rubber increased abruptly in a very short time at different acid concentrations. The tensile strength and elongation at break were found to decrease with increase in both the acid concentrate ion & temperature. The life time of the compounds were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation.
