Durability estimation of a prototype vehicle has traditionally relied heavily on accelerated durability tests using predefined proving grounds or rig tests using a road simulator. By use of those tests, it is very difficult to predict durability failures in actual service environments. This motivated the development of an integrated CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) methodology for the durability estimation of a prototype vehicle in actual service environments. Since expensive computational costs such as computation time and hardware resources are required for a full vehicle simulation in those environments with a very long span of event time, the conventional CAE methodologies have little feasibility. An efficient computational methodology for durability estimations is applied with theoretical developments. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is shown by the comparison of results of the typical actual service environment such as the city mode with those of the typical accelerated durability test over the Belgian road.

The concrete structures designed and constructed by conventional design concept based on structural performance consideration show sometimes serious durability problem when the structures are exposed to aggressive environment. Because present design system focuses on the structure safety and considers durability indirectly by the concrete mix design and cover depth, the durability of concrete structure cannot be ensured. As the first step to develope the durability design for concrete structure, durability index which represents internal concrete resistance and environment index which represents external environmental exposure are derived quantitatively. In the next step, the durability design system is developed by checking durability limit state with computed two indexes under service life condition by considering of the reliability of structure. Finally, the proposed system is verified with a model problem.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate durability of platform safety step system in railway. Method: We performed finite element analysis & durability analysis of platform safety step system with VPD (Virtual Product Development) techniques and examined the durability standard & qualification life through the rig test during no failure test time in reliability qualification test.

We developed the durability estimation and design systems to minimize the volume, considering the durability, efficiency, and design requirements of worm gears. That is, we consider each kind of factors affecting on durability on the basis of AGMA Standard for the cylindrical and double-enveloping worm gears. We also estimate input power on the basis of wear and durability, bending strength and deflection of worm shaft, and we developed the durability estimation and design systems of power transmission worm gears introducing the optimal design method on the personal computer to be easily used in field. Also, we developed a method which converts the design variables obtained from the optimal design method to integer values(number of worm threads, number of worm threads, number of worm wheel teeth, etc.,) to be used in real design and production. The developed durability estimation and design method can be easily applied to the design of worm gears used as power transmission devices in machineries and is expected to be used for weight minimization of worm gear unit.

Concrete has been considered as a semi-permanent structural material, because its excellent durability. Recently, durability decline of concrete construction by environmental pollution is becoming social problem. The durability of high durable structure is declined by carbonate, chloride permeation and deterioration of waterproof performance, etc. This study of penetrating surface protection materials evaluated about carbonation, chloride permeation, waterproof performance, and durability of abrasion, etc. It is profitable in durability that spread penetrating surface protection materials

Purpose: Recently, Issues on security for vehicles are getting increased all around the world. Especially, hood panel needs to be thinner for the protection of pedestrians. But thinner panel makes durability get worse. So, it is needed to satisfy both of them. Methods: Durability effectiveness will be studied because properties and assembly allowance of over-slam bumper mostly affects durability of hood panel. Overlap of over-slam bumper can be made in production line and it can affect durability of spot welding in hood inner panel. Daguchi method is used to catch the condition in which load gets smaller and location, hardness and quantity of overlap are selected to be factors. Durability effectiveness is analyzed with the factors. Result: the mechanism that affects on spot welding is identified. The test was conducted in both open/close and driving condition and the relation between both conditions is analyzed. Conclusion: The test contributed to durability of hood panel with optimization of over-slam bumper.

PEMFC(고분자전해질 연료전지) 고분자막의 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서 라디칼 제거제와 지지체가 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학적 내구성과 물리적 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서 해조류에서 추출한 후코이단과 가교제 역할을 하는 탄닌산을 첨가한 고분자막의 내구성을 평가하였다. 물리적 내구성은 인장강도를 측정해 확인했고, 화학적 내구성은 Fenton 실험으로 측정하였다. 막과 전극합체(MEA)를 제조하여 셀에서 가속 내구 평가를 통해 기계적 내구성과 화학적 내구성을 평가하였다. 인장강도 측정으로 후코이단과 탄닌산의 변형율과 항복강도 등을 향상시켜 고분자막의 기계적 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 후코이단이 라디칼 제거제 역할을 함을 Fenton 실험에서 확인했다. 단위전지에서 가속 내구 실험 결과 후코이단은 화학적 내구와 기계적 내구를 모두 향상시켜 무첨가막보다 가속 내구 평가 시간을 38.1% 증가시켰고, 탄닌산을 추가하면 기계적 내구성 향상에 의해 고분자막의 내구성이 13.9% 향상되었다.

More than five pulleys are used in an automobile, such as crankshaft, water pump, air-con compressor, fan and power steering pump pulley. These pulleys are parts that need durability until retiring a car. But there is no design criterion for durability, so pulleys are designed by the experience of designer and trial and error. So, in this study, we carried out stress analysis at durability test condition and compared analysis results to durability test results. It is found that the design criterion for durability is defined as a safety factor and a safety factor is different according to the distance between the center line of v-grooves and the mating surface.

Reliability-based durability model was developed to consider the uncertainty of analysis variables in durability model for harbor concrete structures. The durability analysis program based on Finite Element Method (FEM) was modified adopting the reliability concept to estimate the probability of durability failure. Water-cement ratio in the durability analysis is the most important factor influencing chloride diffusion coefficient, evaporable water, etc. The probability distribution of water-cement ratio was calculated converting standard deviations of compressive strength in Concrete Standard Code to those of water-cement ratio. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation, the probabilities of penetration depth and durability failure were calculated.
