본 연구에서는, 이러한 상황을 감안하여 피로시험을 위한 유사랜덤 (pseudorandom)하중 파형을 퍼스널컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의해 작성하는 소프트웨어를 개발함과 동시에 이를 이용하여 표면피로균열진전시험도 약간 수행하여, 변동하중하의 표면균열 진전거동에 관하여 대체적인 특성을 검토하여 보기로 하였다.
Pseudo-random load waves for fatigue testing were generated by personal computer simulation and preliminary study was performed on the growth behavior of surface fatigue crack under random ladings. The closure behavior and growth rates of surface fatigue crack were significantly influenced by the characteristics of random waves. It was also found that the growth rates of surface fatigue crack under random loadings could not be always described by the effective stress intensity factor based on the concept of crack closure.
