Inspections of ancient metallic bridges have illustrated fatigue cracking in riveted connections. This paper presents a comparison between two alternative finite element (FE) models proposed to predict the fatigue strength of a single shear and single rivet connection. The first model is based on solid finite elements as well as on contact elements, to simulate contact between the components of the connection. The second model is built using shell finite elements in order to model the plates of the riveted connection. Fatigue life predictions are carried out for the shear splice, integrating both crack initiation and crack propagation lives, resulting from the two alternative FE models. Global fatigue results, taking into account several clamping stresses on rivet, are compared with available experimental results. Proposed comparisons between predictions and experimental data illustrated that the proposed two-stage model yields consistent results.

In this study, we apply an ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique to radial journal bearings (JBs) and disks made of SUJ2 and SCM440, respectively. We investigate frictional properties of untreated and UNSM-treated specimens using a ball-on-disk tester. We construct the Stribeck curve at the boundary, under mixed and full hydrodynamic lubrication conditions for the specimens using friction data obtained from JB tests. The friction at the boundary lubrication condition and the transition period to mixed lubrication condition on the UNSM-treated specimens is reduced, which improves the service life of JBs. The major effects of this reduction in the three lubrication regimes can be explained in the terms of improved mechanical properties and the presence of micro dimples. Moreover, we estimate the friction and fatigue properties of SCM440 specimens using a ball-on-disk specimen under dry and oil-lubricated conditions. Friction test results reveal that the UNSM-treated specimens show lower friction coefficient than the untreated specimens under both dry and oil-lubricated conditions. We evaluate the fatigue properties of SCM440 specimens by calculating the Hertzian stress with respect to the failure cycles. Fatigue tests results also reveal that the UNSM-treated specimens possess a longer fatigue life than the untreated specimens. The improved properties are effective in increasing the energy efficiency of bearings.

In this study, the fatigue behavior and fatigue life characteristics of PA2200 specimens fabricated by SLS 3D printer were studied. Fatigue tests were performed according to the standard specification (ASTM E468) and fatigue life curves were obtained. In order to perform the fatigue test, mechanical properties were measured according to the test speed of the simple tensile test, and the self-heating temperature of the specimen according to the test speed was measured using an infrared temperature measuring camera in consideration of heat generation due to plastic deformation. There was no significant difference within the set test speed range and the average self-heating temperature was measured at 38.5 ℃. The mechanical strength at the measured temperature showed a relatively small difference from the mechanical strength at room temperature. Fatigue test conditions were established through the preceding experiments, and the loading conditions below the tensile strength at room temperature 23 ℃ were set as the cyclic load. The maximum number of replicates was less than 100,000 cycles, and the fracture behavior of the specimens with the repeated loads showed the characteristics of Racheting. It was confirmed that SLS 3D printing PA2200 material could be applied to the Basquin's S-N diagram for the fatigue life curve of metal materials. SEM images of the fracture surface was obtained to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of the fracture surface and the number of repetitions until failure. Brittle fracture, crazing fracture, grain melting, and porous fracture surface were observed. It was shown that the larger the area of crazing damage, the longer the number of repetitions until fracture.

Submarine and deep sea diving structures are generally designed based on their ultimate strength. Fatigue strength at welded joint must be also taken into account because working stress is increased due to the increasing of diving depth and using high yield steel. The pressure hulls of submarine are subjected to fluctuating compressive loading. But in addition to the calculated stresses, high residual tensile stresses at welded part have to be considered. The state of stress level of pressure hull is tensile at surface and compressive at deep diving depth. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the crack initiation and growth at the weld toe of T welded joints of HY-100 steel plate under constant amplitude loading. It is also investigated the phenomenon of the fatigue failure and test methods. Fatigue tests have been using real scaled local structural models of full penetration T-welded joint, which is a part of the cylindrical shell structures reinforced by ring stiffeners. Several load ratios under constant amplitude loading are considered in the tests. Crack initiation and growth characteristics are examined based on the beach marks of the cracked section of the test specimens. A design stress-life curve including the design formula is suggested according to tested data.

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.

An Articulated tower is one of the compliant offshore structures connected to the sea-bed through a universal joint which is the most vulnerable location of the tower that sustains the randomly fluctuating shear stresses. The time history response of the bottom hinge shear is obtained and presented in the spectral form. The fatigue and fracture reliability assessment of the tower joint against randomly varying shear stresses have been carried out. Non-linear limit state functions are derived in terms of important random variables using S-N curve and fracture mechanics approaches. Advanced First Order Reliability Method is used for reliability assessment. Sensitivity analysis shows the influence of various variables on the hinge safety. Fatigue life estimation has been made using probabilistic approach.

소재시험편(素材試驗片)과 맞대기 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)을 대상(對象)으로 피로시험(疲勞試驗)을 행(行)하여 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)-피로수명(疲勞壽命)(S-N)선도(線圖), 소성변형율(塑性變形率)-하중반복회수(荷重反復回數)(${\varepsilon}_p$-N)선도(線圖), 초기균열발생시(初期龜裂發生時)의 소성변형율(塑性變形率)-피로수명(疲勞壽命)(${\varepsilon}_p-N_c$)선도(線圖) 및 균열성장율(龜裂成長率)-응력확대계수변동범위(應力擴大係數變動範圍)(da/dN-${\Delta}K$)선도(線圖)를 그려서 강구조물(鋼構造物) 용접부(鎔接部)에서의 여러가지 피로거동(疲勞擧動)을 검토(檢討)하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서 얻어진 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 하중반복회수(荷重反復回數) $2{\times}10^6$ cycle에서의 피로강도(疲勞强度)는 용접부(鎔接部)가 소재부(素材部)의 약(約) 60%였으며 강복응력(降伏應力)에 대한 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 비(比)는 소재부(素材部)와 용접부(鎔接部)가 각각(各各) 0.72, 0.65로 나타났다. 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)의 S-N 선도(線圖)는 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 완만(緩慢)한 구간(區間)과 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 큰 구간(區間)으로 분류(分類)되어 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)이 작을 수록 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 커지는 현상(現象)을 보였다. 두 구간(區間)으로 구분(區分)되지 않은 S-N 선도(線圖)에 의한 피로강도(疲勞强度)에 비(比)해 $2{\times}10^6$ cycle에서의 피로강도(疲勞强度)가 약(約) 83%에 해당(該當)하였다. 이는 낮은 응력(應力)에서 용접부(鎔接部) 내부결함(內部缺陷)의 영향(影響)이 크게 작용(作用)하는 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)의 경우(境遇) 소재시험편(素材試驗片)에 비(比)해, 또 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)이 클수록 초기균열발생(初期龜裂發生)이 빠르고 균열발생직전(龜裂發生直前)의 소성변형율(塑性變形率)의 증가(增加)가 급격(急激)한 것을 알 수 있었다. 소재시험편(素材試驗片)에서 ${\varepsilon}_p-N_c$ 관계식(關係式)의 상수(常數) ${\alpha}$값이 0.42 로 Manson, Coffin의 연구결과(硏究結果)와 거의 일치(一致)하였고 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)에서는 이 값이 0.28 로 이들의 연구결과(硏究結果)와 큰 차이(差異)를 나타내었는데, 이는 피로(疲勞)에 의한 용접부(鎔接部) 소성변형(塑性變形)의 급격(急激)한 변화(變化)와 내부결함(內部缺陷)의 영향(影響)이 작용(作用)했기 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 이와 같은 결과(結果)로 볼 때 기존(旣存)의 강구조물(鋼構造物) 및 향후(向後) 신설(新設)될 강구조물(鋼構造物) 용접부(鎔接部)의 품질(品質) 및 피로(疲勞)에 대한 안전성(安全性)에 적절(適切)한 대책(對策)이 요망(要望)되며, 이 분야(分野)에 관한 더 많은 연구(硏究)가 행(行)해져야 되리라고 사료(思料)된다.
