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.

In this study, we numerically analyze fatigue cracks of curved pipes under cyclic loadings. Numerical models of the curved pipes are developed. The models are verified with the experimental results in terms of fatigue lives and development process of the fatigue cracks. Erosion technique is applied to the solid elements in order to describe shapes of the fatigue cracks and estimate the fatigue lives. Also, development of the fatigue cracks is described by allocating sufficient number of solid elements in the radial direction. Fatigue lives and shapes of the crack resulting from numerical analyses show good agreement with those of the experiment considering ±100mm displacement. In addition, estimation of the fatigue life caused by displacement with different magnitude is conducted. We expect that the model can be applied to understand the relation between fatigue lives and characteristics of pipes or loadings.

PURPOSES: The nonlinear model of fatigue cracking is typically used for determining the maintenance period. However, this requires that the model parameters be known. In this study, the particle filter (PF) method was used to determine various statistical parameters such as the mean and standard deviation values for the nonlinear model of fatigue cracking. METHODS: The PF method was used to determine various statistical parameters for the nonlinear model of fatigue cracking, such as the mean and standard deviation. RESULTS : On comparing the values obtained using the PF method and the least square (LS) method, it was found that PF method was suitable for determining the statistical parameters to be used in the nonlinear model of fatigue cracking. CONCLUSIONS : The values obtained using the PF method were as accurate as those obtained using the LS method. Furthermore, reliability design can be applied because the statistical parameters of mean and standard deviation can be obtained through the PF method.

목 적: 3D TV에서 2D 및 3D 영상 시청 전, 후 피로도와 시기능 변화를 피로도 설문지(Simulator Sickness Questionnaire)와 시기능 검사를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 방 법: 시기능의 이상이 없고 3D 입체영상 시청이 가능하며 양안 교정시력 0.8 이상인 23-29세(평균 연 령 25.3±1.6세)의 15명을 대상으로 하였다. 47인치 3D TV를 이용하여 2.5m 거리에서 30분 길이의 2D 및 3D 영화를 시청하였다. 시청 전, 후 피로도(5가지 범주, 28가지 항목의 설문) 및 시기능(원거리 및 근거리 사위, 폭주 근점, 상대조절력 등)을 검사하여 분석하였다. 결 과: 2D 및 3D 영상 시청 전, 후에 피로도 검사에서 2D 영상에서는 흐려 보임(p=0.019), 건조함 (p=0.023), 피로함(p=0.003)이 영상 시청 후 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고 3D영상에서는 피로함 (p=0.019), 어지러움(p=0.047)이 영상 시청 후 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 총 28개의 항 목 중에 2D에서 3개 항목, 3D에서 2개 항목에서만 차이가 있었고, 그 점수 변화는 크지 않았다. 또한 시기 능 검사에서는 모든 항목에서 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 결 론: 2D 및 3D 영상 시청 전, 후에 피로감은 동일하게 측정되었다. 이는 3D 영상 전후 피로도가 증가했 다는 이전의 보고와 다른 결과이다. 이는 본 실험과 이전 보고들의 3D 시청 환경(3D 컨텐츠, 시청 거리, 3D 영상 표시 장치 등)이 다르기 때문으로 생각된다. 이는 또한 3D TV 시청 시 특정 조건에서는 피로감이 2D에 비교하여 심각하지 않을 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

As CFRP as the single material has various material properties, it has been used at many fields. CFRP is utilized at the mechanical structure on the basis of the brittle fracture property and the performance of vibration damping. CFRP composed of multiple axes has the high natural frequency. It is shown to have more reinforced material property with the fiber design. This paper investigates the fatigue property of the bonded specimen for mode 1 at the laminate angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. According to the fiber design, each specimen bonded with the laminate angle is shown to have different fatigue property repectively. As the laminate angle is increased, the reaction force tends to be increased. In this paper, the laminate angle through the fiber design of CFRP is applied and the fatigue property at mode 1 is investigated. Through the study result, The safety of fatigue fracture is also checked at applying to the composite structure.

The residual stress analysis and fatigue test of a steel plate with a hole were performed in order to investigate the effects of the cold expansion on the fatigue life of the plate. The cold expansion method is a metal forming process by expanding a hole in order to induce compressive tangential residual stresses near the hole. In this research, a S45C steel plate of 3.2 mm thickness with a hole of 4.318 mm diameter was cold expanded by using a mandrel, resulting in a degree of expansion 1.47%. A significant amount of compressive tangential residual stress of 502 MPa at the hole surface was calculated using the finite element analysis and the compressive residual stress was more widely spreaded in the entry and exit planes than the mid plane in the plate thickness. The compressive tangential residual stresses showed a very beneficial influence on the fatigue life of the plate by increasing 1.2 to 2 times longer lives compared to the plate without cold expansion, depending on the applied load levels. Fatigue crack initiated and propagated at the hole surface of the mandrel entrance region, where relatively lower magnitude of compressive residual stress was found than the other region.

승무원의 피로는 해양사고의 주요 원인으로 인식되고 있다. 해양사고 원인의 대부분을 차지하는 인적오류를 예방하기 위한 다양한 방안이 강구되고 있으나 인적요인에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 승무원의 피로에 관한 체계적인 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 교원·학생·직원, 그리고 남성·여성과 같이 다양한 승선경력 및 업무 형태를 가지고 있는 실습선 한바다호 승무원 128명을 대상으로 87일간의 해양실크로드 항해탐험 동안 이들의 피로도 변화를 분석하였다. 승선기간에 따른 승무원의 피로도 변화는 설문조사와 간호사의 개별 면담을 통해 이루어졌고, 수집된 데이터는 정량적인 통계 처리를 실시하여 피로도 요인으로 분류한 후, 승선 집단별로 피로도 요인의 변화를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 승무원의 피로도 요인은 정신적 피로도, 생리적 피로도, 신체적 피로도로 분류되었고, 승선기간에 따른 직위별, 성별 피로도 변화에 대한 반복측정 분산분석 결과, 직위별로는 교수·부원 집단이 학생 집단보다 정신적, 신체적 피로도를 더 많이 느끼는 것으로 나타났고, 성별로는 여성 승무원이 남성 승무원에 비해 신체적 피로도를 더 많이 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

입체 시각 피로는 3D 영상의 확산을 방해하는 가장 주된 요인으로 알려져 있다. 입체 시각 피로는 수렴과 조절의 불일치에 의하여 유발되는 것으로, 이 현상은 양안 시차를 포함하는 영상을 3D 디스플레이로 제시하는 경우 자극에 의하여 유발된 수렴 거리가 물리적인 조절 거리와 불일치하여 발생한다. 이는 실감을 증진시키기 위하여 입체 자극을 사용하는 경우 언제나 입체 시각 피로를 유발할 가능성이 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 입체 시각 피로를 감소시키기 위하여 직접적인 원인을 제거하려는 노력뿐만 아니라 이를 간접적으로 감소시키기 위한 노력 역시 필요하다. 이런 관점에서 본 연구는 입체 시각 피로에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높은 상대적 시차, 시청 거리, 시청 방위 요인이 주관적 입체 시각 피로에 미치는 영향을 측정하고 입체 시각 피로를 최소화하기 위한 각 요인의 수준을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 참가자들이 입체 시각 피로를 보고하는 경우는 상대적 시차의 교차 시차 크기가 7분 22초를 넘어설 때, 그리고 수직 시야각이 15도 보다 클 때라는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 고강도 운동 후 전신진동이 근피로도 감소와 심박회복율에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 피험자 는 총 20명으로 진동을 제공받는 그룹과 진동을 제공받지 않는 그룹으로 구성되어 있다. 고강도 운동은 경사 8.5도와 보행속도 4km/h를 30분간 제공하였고, 그룹별 진동유무별 의자형 진동기 위에서 30분간 휴식을 취하였다. 전신진동자 극은 10Hz의 진동주파수와 5mm의 진폭을 제공하였다. 진동유무별 피로도 감소와 심박안정화 효과를 검증하기 위해 혈중 젖산농도와 실시간 심박수 변화를 측정하였다. 실험결과, 진동을 제공받는 그룹에서 95.2% 수준의 더 큰 근피로도 감소결과와 50.67%의 더 빠른 심박회복율 결과를 보였다. 이는 고강도 운동 후 전신진동이 근육속 혈관을 지속적으로 자극하여 운동 후 초과산소섭취를 빠르게 해소하고 혈액순환 기능을 증진시켜 피로도를 감소시킨다. 고강도 운동 후 전신진동을 이용한 휴식은 노약자나 여성들에게 운동 후 다른 육체적 활동 없이 마무리운동으로 긍정적 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

Fatigue crack growth experiments were carried out on a 304 L stainless steel compact-tension(CT) specimen under load control mode. Neutron diffraction was employed to quantitatively measure the residual strains/stresses and the evolution of stress fields in the vicinity of a propagating fatigue-crack tip. Three principal stress components (i.e. crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction stresses) were examined in-situ under loading as a function of distance from the crack tip along the crack-propagation path. The stress/strain fields, measured both at the mid-thickness and near the surface of the CT specimen, were compared. The results show that much higher compressive residual stress fields developed in front of the crack tip near the surface than developed at the mid-thickness area. The change of the stresses ahead of the crack tip under loading is more significant at the mid-thickness area than it is near the surface.

Aging aircraft structures are inevitably exposed to environment for a long time facing many potential problems, including corrosion and wide spread fatigue damage, which in turn cause the degradation of flight safety. In this study, the environmental surface damages on aging aircraft structures induced during service were quantitatively analyzed. Additionally, S-N fatigue tests were performed with center hole specimens extracted from aging aircraft structures. From the results of quantitative analyses of the surface damages and fatigue tests, it is concluded that corrosion pits initiated during service reduce the fatigue life significantly. Finally, using the fracture mechanics and the EIFS (equivalent initial flaw size) concepts, the remaining fatigue life was predicted based on actual fatigue test results.

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 paper studies on the effect of kurtosis on fatigue life. A typical vibration test machine uses a normal distribution signal. However, the vibration signal generated in the actual operating environment is a non-normal distribution signal with kurtosis. In this paper, a signal which has the same power spectral density, but has different kurtosis is generated using the Zero Memory Non-Linear(ZMNL) method. The power spectral densities of these two signal will coincide within ±3dB. Fatigue damage spectrum(FDS) computed with a normal distribution signal and FDS computed with a non-normal distribution signal generated using the ZMNL method are compared. FDS computed using the normal distribution signal of kurtosis 3 will show a big difference over the 100Hz with FDS computed using the signal of kurtosis 6. This paper shows through such FDS comparison that a difference in fatigue life prediction may result in if a vibration profile which does not consider kurtosis occurring in the operating environment of a product is used in a vibration test.

As aluminum foam has the most superior absorption of impact energy, this material has been used at automobile and airplane. If aluminum foam is used by jointing bolt and nut, it can be broken. Therefore, it is more effective to bond aluminum foam and other materials by adhesive. In this study, the fatigue fracture simulation through ANSYS program is carried out on the aluminum foam specimen bonded with adhesive as the type of DCB Mode Ⅲ. There are four kinds of specimens with the types of DCB Mode Ⅲ in this study. The thicknesses of four specimens are 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm. In cases of specimen thicknesses of 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm, the maximum loads are shown as ±0.2kN, ±0.55kN, ±1kN and ±1.2kN respectively. As the specimen thickness increases, the maximum loads increase. The results of fatigue experiment as specimen thickness of 55mm can be shown to approach the simulation results by confirming the simulation results of this study. So, The simulation data can be applied in order to investigate the mechanical property at DCB specimen with the type of Mode Ⅲ.

Purpose: Since the advent of smart phones, the amount of time spending on their use has rapidly increased and there are several health concerns regarding sight, causing prolonged smart phones viewing. The purpose of this study was to estimate how much eyes become fatigued based on quantitative electroencephalogram(qEEG) and to analyze the correlation between the fatigue and attention using event-related potentials(ERPs) as objective assessments. Methods: here were thirty, healthy, right-handed subjects(male 15, female 15) participating in this study. 64-channel of qEEG data with their eye-closed was collected and they performed Go/Nogo tasks before and after watching smart phones. A questionnaire regarding the visual fatigue was also collected in both conditions. The changes of pre- and post-task of watching smart phones were analyzed and compared in terms of four wavebands and algorithms, delta(δ), theta(θ), alpha(α), beta(β), (α+ θ)/ β, α/ β, (α+θ)/(α+β), and θ/ β for fatigue detection. Results: The results clearly show that all four energy values of qEEG and algorithms related to the fatigue in the post-viewing condition significantly changed than those in the pre-viewing condition. As seen in the results of ERP, nogo-N2 amplitude only on Fz electrode was slightly higher and nogo-P3 amplitudes on Fz and Cz were considerably lower in the post-task than in the pre-watching. However, there were no significant differences of go-N2 and P3 found at any electrodes. The results of behavioral performance demonstrate that the error rates(ER) of nogo-condition were obviously increased after using smart phones and there was a tendency for reaction time(RT) to be delayed compared with before watching it. Conclusions: This research denotes that it can be a fairly useful measure for using qEEG and ERP when assessing the visual fatigue. Its findings suggest that a sustained smart phone viewing leads to the visual fatigue and it can have adverse effects on distraction.

Fatigue crack growth rate tests were conducted as a function of temperature, dissolved hydrogen (DH) level, and frequency in a simulated PWR environment. Fatigue crack growth rates increased slightly with increasing temperature in air. However, the fatigue crack growth rate did not change with increasing temperature in PWR water conditions. The DH levels did not affect the measured crack growth rate under the given test conditions. At 316 oC, oxides were observed on the fatigue crack surface, where the size of the oxide particles was about 0.2 μm at 5 ppb. Fatigue crack growth rate increased slightly with decreasing frequency within the frequency range of 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz in PWR water conditions; however, crack growth rate increased considerably at 0.01 Hz. The decrease of the fatigue crack growth rate in PWR water condition is attributed to crack closure resulting from the formation of oxides near the crack tips at a rather fast loading frequency of 10 Hz.
