Abstract

Investigating safer ways to design and use to prevent a loss of life and property by failure of the structures are necessary and assessing total fatigue life with initiation and propagation of fatigue crack accurately through fatigue analysis is very important. The object of this study is to examine the initial life and propagation life when the fatigue crack is introduced from the root which is likely to appear in LOP(Lack of Penetration) cruciform fillet welded structure including bridges, ships and gas storage facilities which are impossible to be fully penetrated and to measure the rate of fatigue life until the final cleavage failure. As the result, each rate of fatigue life for fatigue failure is somewhat different in the range of 5% according to the thickness of material, however, the overall rate of initial life is in the range of 34~39% and propagation life showed the range of 61~66%.

모든 구조물의 붕괴 사고로부터 인명과 재산의 손실을 방지하기 위하여 안전 설계 및 안전사용 방법을 찾는 것은 필요하며 피로해석으로부터 피로균열의 초기수명 및 전파수명과 함께 전 피로수명을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 교량, 선박, 가스 저장 시설을 포함하여 완전 용입이 어렵고 최종 파괴될 때까지 피로 수명 비를 계산하기 어려운 미 용입 십자형 필릿 용접 구조물에서 잘 나타나는 피로균열이 루트 부로부터 발생할 때 초기수명과 전파수명을 파악하는 것이다. 그 결과 피로파괴에 대한 각 피로수명 비는 재료 두께에 따라 5% 범위의 차이가 있으나 전반적으로 초기수명 비는 34~39% 범위이고 전파수명 비는 61~66%범위로 나타났다.
