The spider of a drum washing machine receives the repeated fatigue loadings during laundering. Although the spider is designed statically safely, it often happens fatigue failure. Therefore it requires the safe design for fatigue and needs the prediction of quantitative fatigue life. The S-N diagram for a spider material is developed by fatigue test and statistical analysis. The stresses are measured directly from strain gages on the spider. To predict the fatigue life of spider, the rainflow counting method and Miner's rule are used. The data for fatigue life are analyzed statistically. From these data, reliability estimation for fatigue life can be done and also, equivalent fatigue life can be obtained. It will be applied to make and improve to a short period for design and prototype test.

It is advantage of accelerated vibration testing to compress service exposures to operating vibration into a reduced laboratory test by increasing the amplitude or frequency of the applied input excitations. This paper proposes an accelerated test method to estimate the high-cycle fatigue life under random excitation. The method consists of conducting a test with amplified input excitation and extrapolating linearly the lift in the accelerated condition into the real lift in field condition. The extrapolation is carried out applying the high-cycle irregular excitation fatigue theory including the rainflow counting, Miner’s damage accumulation rule, and Goodman’s mean stress correction. As a verification, those estimated lift is compared with that acquired by experiment f3r the simple case of spot welding specimen with good agreement. This testing procedure will provide an useful scheme that can reduce testing period associated with developing time schedule of new product.

Increased cumulative running times of railroad vehicle brings out such degradation as wear and fatigue. It doesn't adapt corrective maintenance which repairs a poor part after a trouble but use preventive maintenance which fixes a bad part before a trouble. There were a few researches for preventive maintenance such as inspect affairs and facilities management. They couldn't estimate the operation reliability on railroad vehicle. Therefore, this study proposes the preventive maintenance procedure that predict repair period of end beam fur uncovered freight car using reliability function and instantaneous failure rate on the basis of fatigue test and load history data.

Using 3D computational fluid dynamics techniques in recent years have shed significant light on the Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) encountered by deep-water marine risers. The fatigue damage accumulated due to these vibrations has posed a great concern to the offshore industry. This paper aims to present an algorithm to predict the crossflow and inline fatigue damage for very long (L/D > $10^3$) marine risers using a Finite-Analytical Navier-Stokes (FANS) technique coupled with a tensioned beam motion solver and rainflow counting fatigue module. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method has been used to simulate the turbulence in the flow. An overset grid system is employed to mesh the riser geometry and the wake field around the riser. Risers from NDP (2003) and Miami (2006) experiments are used for simulation with uniform, linearly sheared and non-uniform (non-linearly sheared) current profiles. The simulation results including inline and crossflow motion, modal decomposition, spectral densities and fatigue damage rate are compared to the experimental data and useful conclusions are drawn.

This study was intended to develop a load spectrum acting on a transmission of agricultural tractors. Transmission loads were measured at the input shaft of the transmission and final drive shaft of the tractors. The measurement were conducted in five field conditions at two speed levels under plowing operations in Korea. Two torque transducers were developed for the respective load measurements and other necessary instrumentations were made to collect the data and store them in a data logger. The time-histories of the torque loads were analyzed and transformed into the load spectra using the rainflow counting and Smith-Watson-Topper methods. Comparisons of the load spectra developed under different conditions were made to investigate their characteristics. The effects on the load levels of soil and plowing speeds were also investigated. Finally, a load spectrum combining the results of the spectrum analysis was developed and proposed as a load source for the reliability test of transmissions.

The purpose of this study is to predict the life of a Lug under the real service load history. The techniques of predicting a fatigue life under load spectrum are discussed and some are developed. The stress is calculated by multiplying the stress under unit force with the Finite Element Analysis. The cycles are counted by the Rainflow counting method and then the mean stress effect is considered by the suggested conversion function. The Manson's Double Linear Damage Rule is used as the cummulative damage method.

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

This study aims to estimate the fatigue resistance of small wind composite blade using the fatigue life estimation formula in the GL guideline. For this, firstly, we estimated a turbine blade's bending moment spectrum by using wind profile wind profile and BEMT. And fatigue tests were performed to obtain the S-N curve of composite materials used in blade. In addition, a finite element analysis was used to identify fatigue critical locations and fatigue stress spectrum. And the fatigue resistance of composite blade were evaluated using the rainflow cycle counting, and Goodman diagram and the fatigue life estimation formula in the GL guideline.

현재 국내에서 공용되고 있는 철도 교량은 약 3,000여개이며, 그 가운데 강교량이 차지하는 비율은 47% 정도로서 도로교에 비해 강교량이 차지하는 비율이 훨씬 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 강철도교의 장지간 교량의 대부분이 강판형과 트러스 형식을 채택하고 있으며, 이들 교량은 대부분이 30년 이상의 공용이력을 갖고 있어 각 교량에서 피로 및 부식에 의한 손상이 진행되고 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강철도교의 내하력과 내구성에 기초한 유지관리의 구축 및 이들의 데이터 베이스화를 위한 기초적인 단계로서 철도교에서의 응력빈도 특성 및 충격의 영향을 조사하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이들을 수행하기 위해 강철도 교량을 대상으로 시험차량에 의한 동적 주행시험을 통하여 충격계수를 산정하였으며, 이로부터 교량지간별, 교량형식별 그리고 차량의 주행 속도별 충격의 영향을 평가하였다. 또한, 공용하중하의 실동응력파를 획득하고 Rainflow Counting Method에 의한 빈도해석을 실시하여 응력범위 히스토그램을 산출하였으며, 트러스 형식별, 통과 열차별, 구조 부재별에 따른 응력분포 특성을 비교, 고찰하였으며, 이로부터 피로손상의 정도를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 트러스교에 있어서는 하현재와 세로보의 응력범위가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며 응력빈도 분포의 형태는 교량의 형식, 하중체계 그리고 통과량에 따라 크게 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 충격의 영향은 지간뿐만 아니라 차량의 주행속도에 크게 좌우됨을 알 수 있었다.

강철도교에 대한 확률기반 피로 수명 평가를 위한 많은 연구들이 그간 있어 왔지만, 대부분 상대적으로 단순한 피로 균열 진전 모델을 기반으로 한 연구들이었다. 이 모델은 최소 응력이 0이고 일정한 응력변동 진폭을 가정하기 때문에, 철도교의 피로수명 평가에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보다 고도화된 균열 진전 모델을 이용해 강철도교의 피로 수명을 평가하는 새로운 확률기반 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 이 기법은 철도교에서 흔히 발생하는 다양한 하중 변동 진폭을 rainflow cycle counting algorithm을 사용해 고려할 수 있어, 보다 현실적인 피로 수명을 평가할 수 있다. 제안된 기법을 강철도교 예제 모델에 적용하여 피로 수명을 주요 부재 및 시스템에 대해 평가하였다. 또한 다양한 활하중-사하중 비가 피로 수명에 끼치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 활하중-사하중 응력 비가 0에서 5/6까지 증가함에 따라 부재와 시스템 수준 모두에서 피로 수명이 30년 내외까지 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다.
