In this study, the structural and fatigue analyses were carried out according to the shape of the self-made car frame. As a result of structural analysis, all models are shown to have the weak strength and large deformation, as the equivalent stress increases at the forward part of the impact force. It can be seen that model 3 is deformed less than other models 1 or 2. And model 3 with the truss structure prevents the great deformation from the collision. In case of irregular fatigue loads, the fatigue life of the ‘Sample history’ increased by about 59.3 times compared to the ‘SAE bracket history’ under extreme fatigue load conditions, indicating that the fatigue load condition of the ‘Sample history’ were stable. The fatigue life and deformation of model 3 among all models are significantly different to models 1 and 2. If the research results are applied to the design of self-made cars, it will be useful for improving the durability and preventing the damage. The results of this study can be effectively utilized to investigate the values of stresses and deformations, and fatigue lives without the experiments of fracture and fatigue according to the shape of the car frame.

Recently, automobile washing methods have been carried out using steam of high temperature and high pressure instead of water. Therefore, it is necessary to secure the structural stability of the steam tank. In this study, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the steam tank by reducing the thickness of the existing steam tank by about 25%. The safety of the product design was verified through simulation to ensure the robustness of the product by securing the structural stability and fatigue analysis at high temperature and pressure of the steam tank according to the weight reduction. For newly developed products compared to existing models.

In the present study, the structural and fatigue analysis on the shape change of an automatic press are investigated for prediction of operation safety and reliability of the automatic press along the thickness(t) and length(L) of head, and corner shapes(case 1, 2, 3). The equivalent stress and deformation characteristics of the automatic press were studied by computerized analysis method for the bushing production of the seat frame. An external stress of 14.0 MPa was applied to predict the operation stability and the fatigue limit of the structure. As the thickness of the header increased and the length of the header decreased, the load stability applied by the piston improved and the maximum stress and deformation were reduced. In addition, due to the change in shape of the corners, the load applied at the cross-sectional area of the corners decreases, and then the maximum stress and deformation appearing in the header are reduced. That is, the change of corner shapes affects the equivalent stress and deformation. That is the change of corner shapes affects the equivalent stress and deformation. From the fatigue and vibration analysis, fatigue failure does not occur even when the number of alternating operation of the automatic press increases, and the natural frequency is predicted for dynamic characteristics.

The characteristics of stress distribution and fatigue life have been investigated in the road mower head system using FEM(Finite Element Method). There is high stress distribution around the coupling part with non-uniform load from the irregular road surface. Maximum equivalent stress especially occurs in the fixed plate and the pillar of the head device with maximum deformation at the rotation axis frame of the mower system. Fatigue life tests were also performed with SAE bracket history, SAE transmission, and sample history conditions. SAE bracket history and SAE transmission predicted the possibility of high damage while Sample history showed a stable trend. These results will be applicable in optimal design for various systems equipped with mower head system.

CFRP hardened by carbon fiber and resin has the property of high strength and low weight. Specifically, the strong feature against the external vibration environment is shown as CFRP is designed with the structure of multi-axes. So, CFRP in place of metal has been used at the various fields. CFRP specimens for mode Ⅱ are applied with the repetitive fatigue load in this study. These specimens have the fiber layer angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. The material properties of specimens are investigated with the result of fatigue fracture due to this load. As the study result, the smallest and largest reaction forces of 500 N and 540 N are shown at the layer angle of 30° and 60° respectively among these specimens. The separation of adhesive interface at 4000 fatigue cycles is happened earliest in case of the layer angle of 60°. But the separation of adhesive interface at 11000 fatigue cycles is happened latest in case of the layer angle of 45°. Through the result of fatigue property, it is thought that the basis data can be applied to evaluate the safety at CFRP structure applied with fatigue.

The chassis frame generally consists of side members, cross beams, and several mounting brackets. Strength and fatigue behaviors of welded joints between members and brackets in a frame are a very complex phenomena, which comes basically due to the structural geometry, non-homogeneous material, and welding residual stresses. Therefore, the prediction of fatigue life for the welded structure is very difficult compared to that for the simple geometry. This paper presents the structural and fatigue analysis results for a body frame and welded joints under system durability loads. In order to fatigue assessment of welded joints, local stress approach is used for its simplicity, which is based on the several empirical S-N curves that are associated with welded joint types and loading modes. The estimated fatigue cycles of the welded areas in a frame were satisfied the target cycles under system load conditions.

This study empirically examines how much effect levels of fatigue and stress of a construction worker have on disaster risks from the perspective of human factors concerning construction disaster risks. To achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted with respect to construction workers working at large construction sites within the metropolitan area. The retrieved survey data were analyzed by using the statistical software programs, SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 8.0. The results of this study do not definitively lead to the conclusion that the level of fatigue or stress of construction workers result in disaster risks. However, it does show that the results vary depending upon the individual approach and treatment of stress and fatigue. In particular, this study revealed that disaster risk levels could increase through unsafe behavior intentions which were established as a mediator variable. Also, with respect to unsafe behavior intentions of construction workers leading to disaster risks, when examining the results that the level of mental fatigue, occupational stress and social-psychological stress of construction workers had a greater significant effect than the level of physical fatigue, this study demonstrates the importance of psychological and mental issues that could be easily overlooked with respect manual labor workers.

광역방제기의 송풍팬은 장비의 안전성과 방제성능을 좌우하는 핵심 부품으로서 구조적으로 안전성이 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 광역방제기에 사용되는 축류식 송풍기의 안전한 운용을 위해, 알루미늄 축류팬 블레이드에 대한 3차원 전산유동해석과 구조상호해석을 실행하여 축류팬의 요구수명을 만족할 수 있는 개선된 축류팬을 제시하고자 하였다. 이에 제1 보에서는 유동저항과 회전력에 의해 발생하는 최대등가응력 값을 구조해석을 통하여 축류팬 재질의 기계적 피로강도와 비교하여 기존모델의 안전성을 검토하고자 하였다. 송풍기 작동 시 발생하는 최대 등가응력값(138.68 MPa)은 축류팬 알루미늄 소재(AC3A, 413.0-F)의 항복강도(145 MPa)에 근접한 값으로 축류팬의 기계적 강도가 다소 미흡하였고, 내구수명은 1.24~11.15×106 회(최대 90시간)으로 분석되었다. 따라서 피로강도의 산포를 고려할 때, 관행기존 설계의 축류팬에 대한 무한수명을 보장할 수 없으며 개선 설계가 요구되었다.

This study analyzes structural stress and fatigue on control arm of automobile under nonuniform load. Maximum equivalent stress at bolt part is shown with 419.1MPa and the corner is deformed with maximum displacement of 1.1628mm. Among 3 cases of nonuniform fatigue loads applying on control arm, ‘AE bracket history’with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but ‘ample history’becomes most stable. In case of ‘ample history’with the average stress of -105 MPa to 105 MPa and the amplitude stress of 0 MPa to 105MPa, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 3%. This stress state can be shown with 6 times more than the damage possibility of ‘AE bracket history’or ‘AE transmission’ Safety and durability on automobile can be effectively improved by applying the fatigue analysis result on control arm.

강바닥판의 구조상세에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 대부분의 연구가 표준형의 U-rib를 대상으로 실시되었을 뿐, 강바닥판 건설초기의 개단면리브형식에 대한 연구는 미진한 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서는 공용연수 31년된 개단면세로리브형식의 강바닥판 교량의 피로균열 발생 원인을 조사하기 위하여 실교통류하에서의 계측 데이터를 통하여 대상구조상세의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 상세구조해석을 통하여 대상교량을 통과하는 대표트럭하중을 추정하고, 상세영향면해석을 이용하여 대상구조상세의 응력 및 변형특성을 분석하였다. 이들 분석에 기초하여 피로균열이 발생된 대상구조상세의 보강방안을 제시하고, 이에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 개단면리브에서의 피로균열의 발생원인은 개단면부에서의 전단변형에 의한 응력증가 및 차량의 이동에 따른 교번응력의 발생에 기인하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 국부구조상세에 대한 피로설계에서는 구조상세의 거동특성이 충분히 반영된 상세해석에 근거한 설계를 실시하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

강재의 품질향상으로 강교에 있어서 재료자체의 파괴보다는 반복하중에 의한 피로균열 문제가 더욱 중요한 요소가 되었다. 재료의 항복으로 인한 교량의 붕괴 등의 사례는 거의 보고되고 있지 않지만 용접부에 발생하는 피로균열에 대한 사례는 매우 많이 보고되고 있다. 종리브와 횡리브, 데크 플레이트로 구성된 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력은 강바닥판을 구성하는 요소들의 구성 형태 및 물성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Pelikan-Esslinger method와 signed Von-Mises 등가응력 개념을 활용하여 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력을 산정하는 방법을 제시하고, 직교이방성 강바닥판 구성요소들의 구성형태와 물성을 변화시켜 피로응력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력과 구성요소의 상관관계 경향을 분석함으로써 설계 및 유지보수 시에 더 효율적인 대안을 찾는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
