The concrete fatigue analysis can be performed with the use of fracture mechanics. The fracture mechanics defines the fatigue crack propagation as the relationship of crack growth rate and stress intensity factor. In contrast to metal, the application of fracture mechanics to concrete is more complicated and therefore many authors have introduced empirical expressions using Paris law. The topic of this paper is development of a new prediction of fatigue crack propagation for concrete using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) and finite element method (FEM) in the frame of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The static and cyclic fatigue three-point bending tests on notched beams are considered. Verification of the proposed approach was performed on the test results taken from the literature. The comparison between the theoretical model and experimental results indicates that the model proposed in this paper is valid to predict the crack propagation in flexural fatigue of concrete.

본 논문은 항공기 구조물의 체결용 홀(hole)을 냉간가공(cold working)할때 홀주변에 생성되는 잔류응력이 균열발생 수명과 균열성장에 미치는 영향을 연구한 내용이다. 항공기용 재료로 많이 사용되는 AL7075-T6 및 AL2024-T3 시편으로 측정된 계수를 Morrow의 수명예측식에 적용하여 수정된 냉간가공(cold working)에 관한 수명예측식을 제안하였다. 수정된 계산식으로 얻어진 수명예측값과 실험에 의하여 이미 알려진 값이 비교적 일치함을 보여 이러한 재료에 대하여 수명예측이 가능함을 보였다. 균열성장 예측을 위해 역시 AL7075-T6 재료에 대하여 가중함수(weight function)방법으로 잔류응력 세기계수를 구하여 Forman의 균열성장 예측식을 수정하여 계산 한 결과 이 또한 알려진 실험값과 거의 일치함을 보여 실험에 사용한 재료의 구조물 해석에 유용 할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 항공기용 구조물의 홀주변을 냉간가공 (cold working)할 때 생성되는 잔류응력의 영향을 연구하는 기초적인 단계 일 뿐이며, 향후 실제 정비현장에서 적용 할 수 있는 대상분야와 연구 방향에 대한 보다 심층적 연구가 필요함을 보인다.

A local strain approach was applied to an external single and double grooved C-shaped specimen in order to evaluate and predict the fatigue crack initiation life by using low cycle fatigue properties. The low cycle fatigue properties were determined from the strain-controlled fatigue tests using smooth cylindrical axial specimens. Fatigue crack initiation life was evaluated by a life prediction software, FALIPS, based on the local strain approach. The fatigue life was significantly influenced by the mean stress, and SWT parameter represented the fatigue life effectively. The predicted fatigue crack initiation life was then compared to the experimental fatigue life evaluated from the C-shaped fatigue test specimens. A good correlation was found between the experimental and predicted fatigue lives within factors of 2 and 4 for the single and double grooved C-shaped specimens respectively. Also, experimental fatigue life of the double grooved specimen was 10-12 times longer than that of the single grooved specimen.

In fatigue life design of mechanical components, uncertainties arising from materials and manufacturing processes should be taken into account for ensuring reliability. A common practice is to apply a safety factor in conjunction with a physics model for evaluating the lifecycle, which most likely relies on the designer's experience. Due to conservative design, predictions are often in disagreement with field observations, which makes it difficult to schedule maintenance. In this paper, the Bayesian technique, which incorporates the field failure data into prior knowledge, is used to obtain a more dependable prediction of fatigue life. The effects of prior knowledge, noise in data, and bias in measurements on the distribution of fatigue life are discussed in detail. By assuming a distribution type of fatigue life, its parameters are identified first, followed by estimating the distribution of fatigue life, which represents the degree of belief of the fatigue life conditional to the observed data. As more data are provided, the values will be updated to reduce the credible interval. The results can be used in various needs such as a risk analysis, reliability based design optimization, maintenance scheduling, or validation of reliability analysis codes. In order to obtain the posterior distribution, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique is employed, which is a modern statistical computational method which effectively draws the samples of the given distribution. Field data of turbine components are exploited to illustrate our approach, which counts as a regular inspection of the number of failed blades in a turbine disk.

The objective of this study is to find out the difference in perceptional fatigue and health promoting behavior between hospital nurses and public health nurses. The subjects of this study were 141 hospital nurses and 73 public health nurses in Daejeon. Data were collected using a self-reporting questionnaire during the period from the 5th to 16th of March 2003. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS program. Real number, percentage, mean and standard deviation were calculated, and $x^2$-test and t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression procedures were carried out. The findings of this study as follows: 1. The mean score of health promoting behavior was 2.71. 2. There were statistically significant differences in health promoting behavior according to age, marital status, family status, residency, educational level, income, the length of work experience and the field of work. (p<0.05) 3. There were statistically significant differences in fatigue according to age, marital status, family status, educational level, income, the length of work experience, perceived health status and the field of work. (p<0.05) 4. The fatigue was found to be in significant negative correlations with health promoting (r=-0.358, p<0.000) and self efficacy (r=-0.314, p<0.000). On the contrary, a significant positive correlation was found between fatigue and perceived barriers (r=0.210, p<00.01). 5. There were five predictors affecting health promoting behavior, which were self-efficacy, income, perceived benefit, fatigue and family support. The most influential factor was self-efficacy that made 31% of prediction, followed by income (6%), perceived benefit (5.2%), fatigue (2.2%) and family support (1.7%) in their order. As a whole, these factors made 46.1% of prediction of health promotion behavior.

In this study, two types of fatigue tests were conducted. First, cyclic bending tests were performed using the micro-bending tester. A four-point bending test method was adopted, because it induces uniform stress fields within a loading span. Second, thermal fatigue tests were conducted using a pseudo power cycling machine which was newly developed for a realistic testing condition. The pseudo-power cycling method makes up for the weak points in a power cycling and a chamber cycling method. Two compositions of solder are tested in all test condition, one is lead-free solder (95.5Sn4.0Ag0.5Cu) and the other is eutectic lead-contained solder (63Sn37Pb). In the cyclic bending test, the solder that exhibits a good reliability can be reversed depending on the load conditions. The lead-contained solders have a longer fatigue life in the region where the applied load is high. On the contrary, the lead-free solder sustained more cyclic loads in the small load region. A similar trend was detected at the thermal cycling test. A three-dimensional finite element analysis model was constructed. A finite element analysis using ABAQUS was performed to extract the applied stress and strain in the solder joints. A constitutive model which includes both creep and plasticity was employed. Thermal fatigue was occurred due to the creep. And plastic deformation is main damage for bending failure. From the inelastic energy dissipation per cycle versus fatigue life curve, it can be found that the bending fatigue life is longer than the thermal fatigue life.

내부결함은 주조제품의 강도 및 피로 수명에 있어 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문에 주조공정에서 주요 관심사 이다. 일반적으로 내부결함은 응력집중을 발생시키며 균열의 시작점이 되므로 피로 수명과 같은 기계적 거동에 있어 수축공과 같은 결함을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 내부결함을 고려한 인장시편에 대해 피로시험을 수행하고 주조결함을 고려할 때의 특정하중피로노치 계수를 산정하였다. 실제 내부결함은 산업용 CT 장비를 통해서 확인하였으며 확인된 결함은 형상단순화법에 의해 타원체로 단순화 하고 응력해석과 피로해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 우리가 제안한 방법이 기계적 거동에 있어 내부결함의 영향을 조사하고 피로수명 등을 예측함에 있어 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

내식성과 기계적 성능이 우수한 316L 스테인리스 강의 저주기 변형률제어 피로시험에서 3가지 변형률진폭과 3가지 변형률비의 조건이 피로수명에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 낮은 변형률범위에서 곡선이 거의 중첩되는 Masing 거동이 나타나고, 높은 변형률범위에서 비선형거동 응력범위가 서로 크게 벗어나는 non-Masing 거동과 함께 평균응력의 감소가 나타났다. 소성 변형률에너지를 이용하여 저주기 피로수명을 예측하고 non-Masing 거동을 고려한 수명예측 방법의 정확성 여부를 검토하였다. 각각의 변형률진폭과 변형률비의 조건에서 초기 수 사이클 동안 반복경화 현상 후 장시간동안 점진적으로 낮아져 연화하다가 파괴 되었다. 저사이클 피로수명을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 변형률진폭에 따라 Masing 및 non-Masing 거동을 구분하고, 이를 반영한 수명예측식을 적용해야 함을 알았다.

Estimating fatigue damage is a very important issue in the design of ships. The springing and whipping response, which is the hydro-elastic response of the ship, can increase the fatigue damage of the ship. So, these phenomena should be considered in the design stage. However, the current studies on the the application of springing and whipping responses at the design stage are not sufficient. So, in this study, a prediction method was developed using fluid-structural interaction analysis to assess of the fatigue damage induced by springing and whipping. The stress transfer function (Stress RAO) was obtained by using the 3D FE model in the frequency domain, and the fatigue damage, including linear springing, was estimated by using the wide band damage model. We also used the 1D beam model to develop a method to estimate the fatigue damage, including nonlinear springing and whipping by the vertical bending moment in the short-term sea state. This method can be applied to structural members where fatigue strength is weak to vertical bending moments, such as longitudinal stiffeners. The methodology we developed was applied to 325K VLOC, and we analyzed the effect of the springing and whipping phenomena on the existing design.

스테인리스 강판은 동적기계구조물을 제작하기 위한 구조용 재료로 널리 사용된다. 또한 이들을 일체화 시키는 방법으로 가스용접을 많이 사용하게 되는데 가스용접에는 다양한 종류에 의해 구조물을 일체화 시킨다. 따라서 부재와 부재를 연결하는 용접부에 대한 응력분포 및 피로강도평가는 구조물의 건전성 및 수명을 연구하는데 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 피로시험에 의해서 얻어지는 ${\Delta}P-N_f$ 관계를 유한요소해석법에 의해서 최대주응력으로 ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_f$ 관계로 나타내어 피로설계기준을 정하였고, 이 결과를 이용해서 확률론적 통계해석기법을 적용해서 가속식을 추정하여 임의의 목표수명을 예측할 수 있는 신뢰성설계기술기법을 제시하고자 하였다.
