Universal joint damage occurred during the operation of a combat vehicle. Damage to the internal bushing and cracks of the rubber cover occurred, and a design change was promoted based on the cause analysis and improvement measures. The failure of the bushing is due to the occurrence of expansion due to fatigue load when the rotation proceeds in the presence of the assembly clearance of the cross joint. In addition, cracks in the rubber cover are caused by the deterioration of the intermetallic rubber surface. Through this failure mechanism analysis, severe durability factors were selected and accelerated durability tests were conducted. In this paper, the final limit life of universal joints can be evaluated through accelerated endurance tests. Furthermore, the endurance life of the product before the change and the endurance life of the product after the change are compared to prove the improvement effect through design changes.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of additives that affect internal curing in order to reduce the damage occurring in concrete pavements. METHODS : SAP was used as an additive to reduce internal curing in concrete pavements. SAP is an additive that has a very high absorption rate which prevents concrete wrappers from externally draining water. To evaluate the internal curing performance according to the ratio of SAP, we identified the number of cracks and amount of abrasion reduction. RESULTS : Plastic shrinkage and durability of a concrete mixture with added SAP were evaluated. The following results were obtained: (1) SAP showed a tendency to reduce slumps due to absorption of the concrete mixture. (2) It was possible to verify that concrete condensation did not occur during the penetration resistance test and that the initial curing did not lead to reactions within the mixture. (3) Adding more than 0.6% of SAP for dry curing resulted in greater compressive strength at all ages than OPC, with the highest compression strength of 0.9% after 56 days. (4) Regarding abrasion resistance, it was found that adding SAP was 30~50% better than adding the OPC mixture, and at 0.9% compression strength, abrasion resistance showed the best performance. (5) In the chlorine ion immersion resistance experiment, the passing charge of the OPC mixture was rated “high,” but it was rated “normal” in SAP. The results showed that the addition of SAP improved the water density of concrete due to internal curing effects, and that it showed the greatest chlorine ion penetration resistance for a compressive strength of 0.9%. (6) Regarding plastic shrinkage resistance, cracks did not occur on the surface until the end of the experiment, but the plastic shrinkage rate upon addition of SAP was relatively low compared to that of the OPC mixture. CONCLUSIONS : Recent studies have shown that internal curing techniques can be applied using SAP to prevent shrinkage due to the loss of water and to decrease the effects of hydration. If internal curing effects are expressed using SAP, it is thought that contraction due to a loss of moisture and reduction in sign language reaction can be prevented.

In this study, the models with types A, B and C of the commercial electric kickboard suspensions were modeled and the structural analyses were carried out. Types A and C have the deformations less than type B. The coil spring can reduce the deformation by installing the suspension. In types A and C, the forces applied to the bolt became same, but more deformation occurred in type C. This is the difference due to whether or not there is a fixed part. Type A was fixed and type C not. This fixation indicates that the bolt has been fully tightened to the end. Therefore, the use of products thatarefully contacted to the end by tightening with bolts can reduce the deformation greatly. Based on the data obtained from this study, it is assumed that the more efficient and stable product will be designed if the suspension absorber of the suspension is designed. Without the test on the durability of electric kickboard suspension, the durability can be seen as the deformation and stress are investigated through the structural analysis.

In this study, the fatigue properties of press die steel, such as SKD11, and three high-durability die steel for the cold forming of ultra-high-strength steel sheets are evaluated. Specimens for fatigue, tensile, and hardness tests are manufactured through the heat treatment recommended by steelmakers and ultra-high precision processing. The general mechanical properties and fatigue properties are derived from hardness, tensile, and fatigue tests for four die steel. The tensile and fatigue properties of die steel derived through the tests are compared and analyzed. In particular, the correlation between the fatigue limit and the general mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation is analyzed, which allows relational expressions to be obtained through regression analysis. Finally, the study confirms that applying high-durability die steel is necessary for improving the die life in the manufacturing of press dies for ultra-high-strength steel sheets.

The premature failure of the universal joint connecting the drive gear box and the cooling fan caused a deterioration in serviceability and operability. Universal joint is a device that transmits engine power to a cooling fan. Internal pin breakage and shaft separation can cause secondary damage such as cooling fan malfunction and radiator damage caused by component failure. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the damage phenomenon of universal joints caused by bundles in SPVs and to improve them. In order to verify the improvement, a single part test and a system conformance test were conducted, and durability test was conducted to confirm the improvement effect on the improved prototype. Through these, the effects of increasing the durability of the improved product were estimated.

The cast iron pipe protection of submarine cables has a bump in the connection, so the guide device for checking the position and location of the submarine cable must pass through the curved surface. Since the connection is present at a regular intervals, impact loads are periodically applied, affecting the durability of the guide device. In this study, the design was changed to improve the durability of guide device links. And for the analysis of the durability for link of guide device, the flexible dynamic analysis of the guide device was performed using MSC.Adams, and the dynamic stress acting on the link was calculated using MSR(Modal Stress Recovery) method. As a result, the dynamic stress is reduced by 17.9%~31.1%. In addition, durability was calculated for the initial model and the improved model. As a result, the durability of the new model was improved more than 200 % better than to the initial model.

In this study, quality keywords of frequent mention of failures were extracted by analyzing the field operational data of main battle tanks recorded for about 5 years. As a result of the data analysis, the leaf spring assembly of the crew hatches corrosion and failure was frequently occurred. FEA(Finite Element Analysis) and tests were performed to analyze the cause of the failure, and it was confirmed that durability of the leaf spring was insufficient. Therefore a design modification study was conducted to improve durability of the leaf spring, and FEA and durability tests demonstrated the improvement. As a result, the durability of leaf spring was improved at least 3.3 times compared to before improvement. This study will contribute to suggesting the use of data analysis in the defense area and improving the operability of the main battle tanks.

Pipe for water supply is one of the important parts that supply water to home, factory and so on. Water leakage in pipe for water supply due to deterioration, ground sinking and earthquake leads to enormous economical loss. Therefore, pipe for water supply should be designed to satisfy the requirement of, for instance, structural stability and fatigue durability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the fatigue durability of flexible joint for relaxing the impact due to earthquake and ground sinking. For this purpose, flexible joint was simulated using dynamic characteristics and fatigue life. As the results, the problem of fatigue durability may occur when flexible joint and pipe for water supply are treated as rigid body in simulation. Thus it means that the role of packing in flexible joint is very important and packing should be designed as optimal conditions that are considered fatigue durability as well as waterproof.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the durable performance of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortar as repair material (HRM mortar) for concrete road facilities via comparison with that of cement repair materials (IRM mortar). METHODS : To produce HRM mortars, inorganic materials as binder and 2 mineral fillers were adopted. The ratio of main resin versus hardener was fixed at 1:2. For comparison, IRM mortars made with cement repair materials were also manufactured. Compressive, flexural, and bonding strengths were measured at predetermined periods. For durability assessment, the scaling resistance, freezing & thawing resistance, rapid chloride penetration resistance, and acid attack resistance of those mortars were experimentally monitored. RESULTS: The durability performances of HRM mortars, especially with respect to freezing & thawing, rapid chloride penetration and acid attack, were identified to be much better than those of IRM mortars. This result implies that HRM is a highly promising and versatile material because of its excellent durability. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the application of the combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is possibly an option for the repair of concrete road facilities exposed to aggressive environments.
