This study investigates the effect of fatigue stress on the damping capacity in a damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si- 4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress. α’ and ε-martensite forms by fatigue stress in the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si- 4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress. The α’ and ε-martensite forms with the specific direction and surface relief, or they cross each other. With an increasing fatigue stress, the volume fraction of α’-martensite and ε-martensite increases. With an increasing fatigue stress, the damping capacity increases with an increase in the volume fraction of ε-martensite. The increase in the damping capacity in the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si-4Co alloy under fatigue stress strongly affects the increase of ε-martensite formed by fatigue stress, but the damping capacity of the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si-4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress is strongly controlled by a large amount of α’-martensite.
Fatigue crack growth retardation of 304 L stainless steel is studied using a neutron diffraction method. Three orthogonal strain components(crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction) are measured in the vicinity of the crack tip along the crack propagation direction. The residual strain profiles (1) at the mid-thickness and (2) at the 1.5 mm away from the mid-thickness of the compact tension(CT) specimen are compared. Residual lattice strains at the 1.5 mm location are slightly higher than at the mid-thickness. The CT specimen is deformed in situ under applied loads, thereby providing evolution of the internal stress fields around the crack tip. A tensile overload results in an increased magnitude of the compressive residual stress field. In the crack growth retardation, it is found that the stresses are dispersed in the crack-wake region, where the highest compressive residual stresses are measured. Our neutron diffraction mapping results reveal that the dominant mechanism is by interrupting the transfer of stress concentration at the crack tip.
Conventional airport concrete pavement design uses empirical design method presented by FAA but it is not accurate because it does not consider environment load. In case of mechanistic - empirical design method used overseas, it needs to be modified according to domestic conditions. In this paper, a stress regression model considering environmental load and dual tandem gear load is developed as a mechanical - empirical design process and verified by fatigue model calibration. First of all, literature review was conducted on airports using DT gear as a design aircraft among domestic airports, and the physical properties of concrete pavement layers of each airport were identified. In addition, the environmental load is divided into the temperature load and the moisture load, and the temperature load is calculated from the climatic data of the region where the domestic airport is located, and the moisture load is calculated through the drying shrinkage prediction model developed through the previous study. The stresses occurring in concrete slabs under environmental loads and traffic loads were predicted using FEAFAA, which is a finite element analysis program, and factors predicted to affect concrete pavement were selected for the stress regression.As a result of the sensitivity analysis of the selected factors, the joint spacing, slab thickness, gear load, and road bearing capacity coefficient affected the stress behavior of the slab by more than 5% of the reference stress.According to the mechanical design, the finite element analysis was carried out for the consideration of only the traffic load and the environmental load and the traffic load based on the design factors. Based on the analysis results, multiple regression analysis was performed using the statistical analysis program SPSS and the stress regression equation was calculated. Then, the stress model for the environmental load and the traffic load was calculated and the final stress model with each stress model as the independent variable was derived. Using the calculated stress regression model, the stress was calculated and the bending strength of the concrete was divided to calculate the stress - to - strength ratio, and the appropriate fatigue model was selected and the correction was performed by the least squares method. This study was supported by Incheon International Airport Corporation(BEX00625)

Stress and fatigue are general physical aspects of our daily lives. It has been shown that physical therapists have different levels of job stress and fatigue according to the type A/B behavior patterns. This study collected data from 212 physical therapists between October 28 and November 23, 2016 using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. The study results showed the proportion of physical therapists with the Type A behavior patterns(TABP) was 18% greater than that of physical therapists with the Type B behavior patterns(TBBP). In this study, physical therapists with TABP were compared with physical therapists with TBBP. The results indicated that physical therapists with TABP were more inclined to experience higher levels of overall job stress and fatigue from the following stress factors: physical environment, job requirement, and job autonomy. Therefore, the stronger the tendency toward TABP, the stronger the feeling of job stress and fatigue from physical environment, job requirement, and job autonomy. Those with a tendency toward TBBP showed positive correlations between job requirement and the total job stress score; thus, the stronger the tendency toward TBBP, the stronger the feeling of overall job stress and fatigue from job requirement.
This study suggests that it is necessary to manage the job stress and fatigue of physical therapists with both TABP and TBBP and to manage the job stress and fatigue of physical therapists with the type A behavioral pattern.
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.
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.
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.
This study highlights the theme of human error of train drivers, conducting empirical analysis on the relationship between emergency stress, psychological fatigue, safety behavior, and accident. The hypothetical test results based on questionnaires received from 223 train drivers working at A subway firm indicate that emergency stress shows a significant positive effect on psychological fatigue, which in turn shows a significant negative influence on safety behavior. And safety behavior is shown having a significant negative relationship with accident. These results suggest the necessity of corporate-level approaches to depict the drastic causes of drivers’ emergency stress, and to effectively manage this stress, as well as the necessity of making effort to enhance safety behavior, and to prevent or reduce accidents.
Thermo-mechanical fatigue cracks on the turbine housing of turbochargers are often observed in currently developed gasoline engines for them to adopt lightness and higher performance levels. Maximum gas temperatures of gasoline engines usually exceed 950℃ under engine test conditions. In order to predict thermo-mechanical failures by simulation method, it is essential to consider temperature-dependent inelastic materials and inhomogeneous temperature distributions undergoing thermal cyclic loads. This paper presented the analytical methods to calculate thermal stresses and plastic strain ranges for the prediction of fatigue failures on the basis of motoring test mode, which is commonly used for accelerated engine endurance test. The analysis results showed that the localized critical regions with large plastic strains coincided well with crack locations from a thermal shock test.

This study attempted to evaluate the direct and indirect effect of emotional labor, job and psychosocial stress, and fatigue of beauty industry workers on their musculoskeletal diseases. The findings of this study showed that, among the workers with perceived symptoms of musculoskeletal diseases, the body part with the most commonly occurring symptom was the shoulder, followed by neck, low back, wrist, arm, foot and knee. As for the effect of work-related psychological factors on musculoskeletal diseases, it was found that the workers with musculoskeletal diseases were more affected by emotional labor and fatigue than non-symptom workers. It was also shown that when their job stress increased, the fatigue level also increased, though their psychosocial stress decreased. In addition, it was found that both direct and indirect effects of emotional labor on fatigue were high, and the indirect effect of job stress through fatigue on musculoskeletal diseases was significant.

A kart is a vehicle without the suspension system and the differential gear. The kart frame as an elastic body plays the role of a spring. By the cornering of a kart, rolling, pitching and twisting motions are induced in the kart frame. Also the slip or noncontact of the wheel and a permanent deformation of the kart frame can be induced. In order to examine closely this phenomenon of the twisting deformation, measurement and analysis on torsion working stress with strain gage and tracking system are needed. According to the measurement result, while steady state driving in a curve in general the torsion working stress of the kart frame will be increased depending on the vehicle velocity, but the kart frame will be not permanent deformed. However, analysis of the torsion working stress in comparison with torsion fatigue limit shows that while unsteady state driving as clash with same drive condition the racing kart frame will be deformed more quickly as the leisure kart frame.
