A fatigue test was used to evaluate the fatigue life of an actual structure. The loaded state and the constraint condition of an actual structure must be same as the specimen in order to apply the test results to an actual structure by the specimen. The loaded state and constraint conditions can't be same as the specimen in the actual structure which is complicated. In order to reduce these differences, an actual structure test with a lot of frequencies is need to get a fatigue life curve. Therefore, ten sets of accelerated test units which attached unbalanced mass were composed in this study. Acceleration history about the vibration of an actual structure was acquired. Rainflow counting was used on acceleration history, and the life curve return formula was assumed. The return formula that damage satisfied `1' was acquired in a feedback process by the Miner's rule, which was the linear cumulative damage theory. A conservative fatigue life curve was determined with a return formula to have been presumed by each set. The fatigue life of regular rpm condition was calculated by these conservative fatigue life curves.

An accelerated fatigue test is essentially required to maintain the reliability of the actual structures of KTX under operation conditions. However, actual fatigue life cannot be obtained because the conventional fatigue tests are not adequate to the real load conditions. Moreover foreign component makers have not provided data of the loading stresses (S) versus cycles at the failure (N). In this study, we suggested a deduction method of the S-N curve for establishing an accelerating test under various load levels. Load history was acquired from the field tests. A Rainflow method was used on the cycle counting of the field load data. After that, an S-N curve was obtained through the iteration process under the condition that the damage index satisfies to 1 in the Miner's rule. The deduced S-N curve was applied to the performance evaluation of Korean-made sealed knuckles compared with imports.

The aim of this paper is to present a method to obtain the dynamic response of a wind turbine tower in time domain by means of the generation of time series and to estimate the associated fatigue damage by means of a Rainflow counting algorithm. The proposed method is based on assuming the vortex shedding is a bidimensional phenomena and on following a classical modal superposition method to obtain the structure dynamic response. Four different wind turbine tower geometric configurations have been analyzed in a range of usual wind velocities and covering extreme wind velocities. The obtained results have shown that, depending on the turbulence intensity and the mean wind velocity, there are tower geometric configurations more advantageous from the fatigue load standpoint. Consequently, the presented model can be utilized to define assembly strategies oriented to fatigue damage minimization.

The spread mooring system for FPSO is developed to explore deep sea area, in which swell is dominant. It is known that the tension response of mooring lines in this sea area shows bimodal spectrum. Assuming normal distribution of tension profile and Rayleigh distribution of tension amplitude, the power spectral density function (PSD) of the mooring tension under the bimodal stationary random process is applied for the calculation of spectrum fatigue. Three popular methods, which are simple summation method, combined spectrum method and Jioa-Moan method, are used to combine fatigue damages from bimodal spectrum characteristics. Each damage value is compared with damage using Rainflow Cycle Counting (RCC) method which is believed to be close to exact solution. Vanmarcke' parameter and RMS(Root Mean Square) ratio are employed to assess relative damage variations between from RCC method and from three combination methods. Finally the most reliable fatigue damage combining method for spread mooring system is suggested.

The influence of two parameters on fatigue damage predictions of a variably loaded cantilever beam has been examined. The first parameter is the geometry of the cantilever beam and the weld connecting it to a rear panel. Variables of the geometry examined here include the cantilever length, the weld width on the critical cross-section and the angle of the critical cross-section. The second parameter is the safety factor, as set out by the Eurocode 3 standard. An analytical approach has been used to calculate the stresses at the critical cross-section and standard rainflow counting has been used for the extraction of the load cycles from the load history. The results here suggest that a change in the width and angle of the critical cross-section has a non-linear impact on the fatigue damage. The results also show that the angle of the critical cross-section has the biggest influence on the fatigue damage and can cause the weld to withstand fatigue better. The second parameter, the safety factor, is shown to have a significant effect on the fatigue damage calculation, whereby a slight increase in the endurance safety factor can cause the calculated fatigue damage to increase considerably.

본 연구에서는 국내 고정익항공기 개발의 일환으로 고정익항공기용 외부 연료탱크와 파일런에 대한 피로해석을 수행하였다. 구조해석을 통해 외부 연료탱크와 파일런의 피로해석 부위들을 선정하고, 선정된 부위들에서 단위하중에 대한 전달함수를 구축하였다. 연속 하중 프로파일에 대해서 각 프로파일 하중과 전달함수와의 내적을 통해 선정 부위에서의 응력 성분을 계산한 후, Von Mises 등가응력을 사용하여 각 프로파일의 대표응력(Representative Stress)을 계산하였다. 그리고, 구축된 대표 응력 그룹에 Rainflow Counting 기법을 사용하여 초기의 방대한 하중 프로파일로 부터 축소된 개별 프로파일과 그에 대한 진폭 및 평균값을 추출한 후, MMPDS(Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization)의 S-N 선도를 적용하여 수명싸이클을 계산하였다. 만약, 추출된 개별 프로파일들의 Stress Ratio가 선정된 S-N 선도의 Stress Ratio 범위를 벗어나는 경우 Modified Goodman 선도로부터 유도된 식을 사용하여 Stress Ratio가 해당 S-N 선도에서 요구하는 범위를 만족하도록 변환하는 과정을 거쳤다. 그리고, Miner's Rule에 의해 계산된 각 프로파일들의 손상값들을 더하여 선정 부위에서의 수명을 평가하였다. 최종적으로 수명평가를 위해 선정된 외부연료탱크와 파일런의 관심 부위에서 요구 수명을 모두 만족하는 것으로 평가되었다.

In order to evaluate that factors such as span length, member type and train loading affect on fatigue of steel railway bridges, in this paper, a series field tests were carried out for some plate girder bridges. From the result estimated by rainflow counting method to analyses real strain-time curve obtained from the field test, it was known that the fatigue effect is more significant in the bridge having short span length and the secondary members regardless of train load types.
