Fatigue cracks are inevitable in circumstances in which the cyclic loading exists. Therefore, many of mechanical components are in a risk of being in exposure to fatigue cracks. On the other hand, renewing the facilities or infrastructures is not always possible. Therefore, retrofitting the structures by means of the available methods, such as crack arrest methods is logical and in some cases inevitable. In this regard, this paper considers three popular crack arrest methods (e.g., drilling stop-hole, steel welded patch, and carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) patch), which have been compared by using extended finite element method (XFEM). In addition, effects in terms of the width and thickness of patches and the configuration of drilling stop holes have been evaluated. Test results indicated that among the considered methods, CFRP patches were the most effective means for arresting cracks. Besides, in the case of arresting by means of drilling stop holes, drilling two holes next to the crack-tip was more effective than blunting the crack-tip by drilling one hole. In other words, the results indicated that the use of symmetric welded metal patches could lead to a 21% increase in fatigue life, as compared to symmetric stop holes. Symmetric CFRP patches enhanced the fatigue life of cracked specimen up to 77%, as compared to drilling symmetric stop holes. In addition, in all cases, symmetric configurations were far better than asymmetric ones.

In this paper, we fabricated a electro-chemical discharge machine for drilling microscopic glass hole. In this research, we used a glass plate and NaOH solution. From the experimental result, we knew that the change of voltage wave was caused by drilling microscopic hole of glass using electro-chemical discharge method. So, we can give a function of the power auto stop to electro-chemical discharge machine with the change of voltage wave.

Out of all metal-cutting processes, the hole-making process is the most widely used. It is estimated to be more than 30% of the total metal-cutting process. It is therefore desirable to monitor and detect drill wear during the hole-drilling process. One important aspect in controlling the drilling process is monitoring drill wear status. Accordingly, this paper deals with Basic system and Online system. Basic system comprised of spindle rotational speed, feed rates, thrust, torque and flank wear measured tool microscope. Online system comprised of spindle rotational speed, feed rates, AE signal, flank wear area measured computer vision. On-line monitoring system does not need to stop the process to inspect drill wear. Backpropagation neural networks (BPNs) were used for on-line detection of drill wear. This paper deals with an on-line drill wear monitoring system to fit the detection of the abnormal tool state.

Out of all metal-cutting process, the hole-making process is the most widely used. It is estimated to be more than 30% of the total metal-cutting process. It is therefore desirable to monitor and detect drill wear during the hole-drilling process. One important aspect in controlling the drilling process is monitoring drill wear status. There are two systems, Basic system and Online system, to detect the drill wear. Basic system comprised of spindle rotational speed, feed rates, thrust torque and flank wear measured by tool microscope. Outline system comprised of spindle rotational speed feed rates, AE signal, flank wear area measured by computer vision, On-line monitoring system does not need to stop the process to inspect drill wear. Backpropagation neural networks (BPNs) were used for on-line detection of drill wear. The output was the drill wear state which was either usable or failure. This paper deals with an on-line drill wear monitoring system to fit the detection of the abnormal tool state.

The stiffness evaluation of cracked base metal is of great guidance to fatigue crack reinforcement. By carrying out fatigue tests and numerical simulation of typical cracking details in steel box girder, the strain-degradation law of cracked base metal was analyzed and the relationship between base metal stress and its displacement (stiffness) was explored. The feasibility of evaluating the stress of cracked base metal based on the stress field at the crack tip was verified. The results demonstrate that the stiffness of cracked base metal shows the fast-to-slow degradation trend with fatigue cracking and the base metal at 50mm or more behind the crack tip basically lose its bearing capacity. Drilling will further accelerate stiffness degradation with the increase of hole diameters. The base metal stress has a negative linear relation with its displacement (stiffness), The stress of cracked base metal is also related to stress intensity factor and its relative position (distance, included angle) to the crack tip, through which the local stiffness can be effectively evaluated. Since the stiffness is not uniformly distributed along the cracked base metal, the reinforcement patch is suggested to be designed according to the stiffness to avoid excessive reinforcement for the areas incompletely unloaded.

절취된 세로보를 갖는 강철도교량의 바닥판에서의 피로거동 및 손상시 보수 보강의 효과를 연구하기 위해 8개 대형시험체에 대한 모형시험을 수행하였다. 실교량을 대상으로 실동응력을 측정하여 기본 응력범위 빈도히스토그램을 작성하고 이에 의한 변동응력의 등가응력범위를 산출하였다. 이 등가응력범위를 기준으로 피로시험의 응력변동범위의 크기를 조정하면서 정적 및 피로시험을 보강전과 보수 보강후로 구분하여 실시하였다. 정적시험에 의하면 재하하중의 크기가 등가실동응력 수준인 시험체의 경우에서 이미 허용응력과 비슷한 응력을 나타내므로서 피로균열의 발생조건을 충족하고 있었다. 손상된 시험체에 대해 다양한 보수 및 보강을 실시하여, 각각의 결과를 비교검토하였다. 그 결과 보수효과는 stop hole을 천공하고 고장력볼트를 체결한 경우에 피로균열성장의 지체효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 한편 보강효과는 휨의 지배를 받는 세로보의 경우 인장측 플랜지의 보강이 효과적이며, 복부의 보강은 보강방법으로 적절하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 직각절취된 세로보의 피로설계등급은 우리나라 시방서 피로설계규정의 E등급에 해당한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
