Spot welding is automation of assembly process, without increasing the vehicle weight and economy, there is a fuel economy improvement of motor vehicles and to widely used in the automotive industry. But By irregular load from the road surface while at the vehicle is running, stress concentration occurs in the weld point, fatigue failure occurs frequently. Considering change of stiffness is the essential fatigue life of the evaluation spot weld. In this paper, by performing a linear static analysis was to understand the vulnerable part. Acquire to the fatigue properties of the spot weld, take the load history of the three levels in the time domain, was performed by setting as a condition of quasi-static fatigue analysis. and Fatigue life prediction method of the spot weld was by applying the method according to the fatigue damage accumulation and the conventional method was compared analyzed with the results shown.

In spacecraft system, structure subsystem has the mission of supporting all the components safely under various space environmental conditions. The safety of spacecraft structure is finally verified from the coupled load analysis, which is a branch of load analysis which combines the launch vehicle and satellite. This study introduces the optimization algorithm to reduce the weight of spacecraft structure under launch environmental conditions directly. The acceleration responses are obtained by the introduction of coupled load analysis, which lead to check the failure of spacecraft structural members. The results show a 12% saving of structural weight and this saving is mainly driven by the thickness of honeycomb core, which strongly affects the natural frequencies of platforms and panels.

This research work contributed to a study for the procedure and methodology to assess the fatigue durability for a composite torque link of helicopter landing gear, which was newly developed and fabricated by the resin transfer moulding technique to interchange with metal component. The simulated load spectrum anticipated to be applied to the torque link during its operation life was generated using an advanced method of probabilistic random process, and the fatigue durability was evaluated by the strength degradation approach on the basis of material test data. The full scale fatigue test was also performed and compared with the analysis results.

The KUH-1's Wheel Brake Assembly which is Brake System is an essential component to perform flight mission for pilot. It has function of taxing, differential braking and parking to sustain landing capability. However, the skid and abrasion of tire were occurred in mass-produce operation. Also, if it is occurred on the ground, the flight can not be performed. In this case, the defect is a major cause of the decrease in the operation rate of aircraft. In this paper, the cause of the defect in flight was identified and the failure process was organized. Also, it describes design improvements which was derived from troubleshooting and suggests verification results of flight test.

Due to the advantages of small sizes, more I/O ports, etc., Ball Grid Array (BGA) has been used in the production of printed circuit board (PCB). However, BGA voids can degrade the performance of the board and cause failure. To automatically detect the voids in X-ray image, a novel blob filter that makes use of the local image gradient magnitude is proposed in this paper. The utilization of the local image gradient magnitude makes the proposed filter invariant to the image brightness, void shape, void position, and component interference. Furthermore, different sizes of box filters are employed to analyze the image in multi-scale, and as a result, the proposed blob filter is robust to void size. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain void detection accuracy up to 96.104% while keep low false ratio.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the fatigue life to apply the vibration fatigue analysis considering the stiffness change of the spot welding due to fatigue damage accumulation. For this, the mechanical and fatigue properties of base and spot welded standard specimens were obtained through the tensile and constant amplitude fatigue test. The transfer function of the spot-welded structure was obtained from the frequency response analysis and fatigue analyisis was performed under the condition of PSD=0.11. A vibration fatigue analysis that considered changes in the frequency response due to the fatigue damage that is, failure of some wleding point was conducted on spot-welded structure. The fatigue life of the spot-welded structure was determined by combining the transfer function, the S-N curve of the tensile-shear spot-welded joint and the input PSD.

A hydraulic cylinder is a primary component of an excavator and is used for activating attachments such as boom, arm, and bucket. Generally, the cylinder is prone to structural problems such as buckling and fatigue failure caused by cyclic high pressure. Therefore, the safety margin for fatigue, yield, and buckling during the design lifetime should be evaluated at the durability-design stage. The durability design includes basic and detailed stages. In the basic design, the principal dimensions of the rod and tube are determined by considering the working force, speed, and range with respect to yield and buckling. In the detailed design, the dimensions of the rod notch, welds, tube end, gland, orifice, and cushion ring are determined by considering the fatigue safety. We present and discuss the overall procedure for durability design and the related analysis techniques.

This paper proposes ductile failure simulation under high strain rate conditions using finite element (FE) analyses. In order to simulate a cracked component under a high strain rate condition, this paper applies the stress-modified fracture strain model combined with the Johnson/Cook model. The stress-modified fracture strain model determines the incremental damage in terms of stress triaxiality (${\sigma}_m/{\sigma}_e$) and fracture strain (${\varepsilon}_f$) for a dimple fracture using the tensile test results. To validate the stress-modified fracture strain model under dynamic loading conditions, the parameters are calibrated using the tensile test results under various strain rates and the fracture toughness test results under quasi-static conditions. The calibrated damage model predicts the CT test results under a high strain rate. The simulated results were then compared with the experimental data.

The friction and wear between machine components directly influence the energy loss and failure in various machines. Therefore, there is always a demand for finding methods to reduce friction and wear. Of the possible methods, lubrication is a widely used method for reducing friction and wear. In the case of lubrication, it is important to analyze the tribological behavior in the boundary lubrication because most of friction and wear occurs in the boundary lubrication regime. Cast iron has been regarded as a good material for industrial applications due to the excellent mechanical properties and high productivity. Especially, nodular cast iron is a material that shows better mechanical properties and wear-resistance compared with cast iron due to inclusion of spheroidal graphite. In this work, we investigated the tribological characteristics of nodular cast iron with respect to different counter parts in boundary lubrication regime. Sliding tests were conducted with SUJ2, ZrO₂, Si₃N₄ balls as counter parts using a pin-on-disk type tribotester. The results showed different friction and wear behaviors with different counter parts. The case of ZrO₂ showed the lowest wear rate in specimen and no significant ball wear. In case of SUJ2, it showed similar wear rate with ZrO₂ case in specimen and the highest friction coefficient. The case of Si₃N₄ showed the lowest friction coefficient, 33% lower than the case of SUJ2. It showed 16.9 times larger wear rate in specimen and 43% larger wear rate in ball compared to that of the SUJ2 case.
