Synergistic Effects of Temperature,Oxidation and Multicracking Modes on Damage Evolution and Life Prediction of 2D Woven Ceramic-Matrix Composites under Tension-Tension Fatigue Loading

In this paper, the synergistic effects of temperature, oxidation and multicracking modes on damage evolution and life prediction in 2D woven ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) have been investigated. The damage parameter of fatigue hysteresis dissipated energy and the interface shear stress were used to monitor the damage evolution inside of CMCs. Under cyclic fatigue loading, the fibers broken fraction was determined by combining the interface/fiber oxidation model, interface wear model and fibers statistical failure model at elevated temperature, based on the assumption that the fiber strength is subjected to two-parameter Weibull distribution and the load carried by broken and intact fibers satisfy the Global Load Sharing (GLS) criterion. When the broken fibers fraction approaches to the critical value, the composite fatigue fractures. The evolution of fatigue hysteresis dissipated energy, the interface shear stress and broken fibers fraction versus cycle number, and the fatigue life S–N curves of SiC/SiC at 1000, 1200 and 1300 °C in air and steam condition have been predicted. The synergistic effects of temperature, oxidation, fatigue peak stress, and multicracking modes on the evolution of interface shear stress and fatigue hysteresis dissipated energy versus cycle numbers curves have been analyzed.     

Fatigue Debonding Analysis of Repaired Aluminium Panels by Composite Patch using Interface Elements

Repaired panels with composite patches subjected to fatigue loading may fail due to the progressive debonding between the composite patch and aluminium panel. The objective of this paper is to study the initiation and propagation of a possible fatigue debonding in the adhesive layer while the crack also growths in the panel for single-side repaired aluminium panels. For this purpose three dimensional finite elements method with a thin layer solid like interface element is employed. Fracture mechanics approach is used for the analysis of crack growth in aluminium panel and the interface elements with fatigue constitutive law for mixed mode debonding growth in the adhesive layer. A user element routine and a damage model material routine were developed to include the interface element and to simulate the initiation and propagation of damage in adhesive layer under cyclic loading. It is shown that, the debonding propagation and crack growth rate of the repaired panels depend on the composite patch material and interface bonding properties significantly. It is also shown that using of patch material with higher elastic module leads to the faster damage or debonding growth in the adhesive layer during the fatigue loading.     

Ultrasonic evaluation of fatigue damage in metal matrix composites

This paper describes an experimental nondestructive technique for fatigue damage assessment in metal matrix composites by measuring ultrasonic phase velocity and attenuation. A [0/90] SiC/Ti---15V---3Cr---3Al---3Sn metal matrix composite is considered as a model system. Cyclic loading at 50 and 70% of the ultimate sample strength were used until failure. The ultrasonic phase velocities and attenuations were measured periodically and found to be very sensitive to fatigue damage. The fatigue-induced changes in the composite elastic constants were calculated from the measured ultrasonic velocity data. For samples heat treated prior to fatigue (815°C) above the matrix β transus (about 760°C), the dominant damage mechanism is debonding of the fiber/matrix interface. We found that when samples were fatigued for less than 50% of the lifetime, the reduction of the composite moduli was linearly dependent on the number of fatigue cycles, which is explained by extension of interfacial partial debonds. This was supported by micromechanical analysis based on a partial disbond model. The rate of decrease in the composite moduli in the second half of the fatigue life was found to be lower, which may serve as a basis for estimation of the remaining fatigue life of the composite from ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements. The attenuation data was obtained in directions perpendicular to the fiber. A single-fiber scattering model has been used to explain the effect of the fiber/matrix interface on attenuation. Good correlation between attenuation and moduli measurements was observed.

Fatigue Damage Accumulation of Steel/rubber Composite

The fatigue damage accumulation of [±20°] laminated steel cord reinforced rubber composite under T-T loading was studied. Results indicate that the increase in the cyclic maximum strain exhibits three-stage tendency in the process of fatigue. The macroscopic fatigue damage initiates from the ends of steel cords in the form of cylindrical crack. Damage propagates along with the increase in crack numbers, the cord/matrix interface debonding and the growth of interply cracks. By using the dynamic creep as parameter, a linear fatigue damage accumulation model was established. This model can be used under dual loading conditions to estimate the residual fatigue life of the specimen.     

Fretting fatigue failure mechanism of automotive shock absorber valve

Fretting fatigue is a complex mechanical failure phenomenon, in which two contact surfaces undergo a small relative oscillatory motion due to cyclic loading. This study proposes a methodology to analyze the fretting fatigue failure mechanism of automotive shock absorber valve by means of experimental and numerical approaches. A servo hydraulic test set-up is used to simulate fretting fatigue under real working conditions. Moreover, a 3-D finite element model is developed to analyze the contact status and stress distribution at contact interface between connected components, i.e. washer-disc contact. The experimental test results depict that fretting damage appears at contact interface between washer and disc, which causes the initial crack nucleation and advancing the crack up to the final fracture of valve disc. Stress field, obtained by numerical simulation, is used to monitor some fretting fatigue features such as the distribution of relative slip amplitude, contact pressure and different stress fields at contact interfaces. Eventually, the crack initiation site is estimated by monitoring variation of equivalent multiaxial damage stress at contact interface.

Numerical simulation of fatigue‐driven delamination using interface elements

This paper presents a computational technique for the prediction of fatigue‐driven delamination growth in composite materials. The interface element, which has been extensively applied to predict delamination growth due to static loading, has been modified to incorporate the effects of cyclic loading. Using a damage mechanics formulation, the constitutive law for the interface element has been extended by incorporating a modified version of a continuum fatigue damage model. The paper presents details of the fatigue degradation strategy and examples of the predicted fatigue delamination growth in mode I, mode II and mixed mode I/II are presented to demonstrate that the numerical model mimics the Paris law behaviour usually observed in experimental testing.
