FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH PREDICTION IN SPECIMENS SIMILAR TO SPUR GEAR TEETH

Abstract— The problem of fatigue crack propagation in surface treated specimens similar to gear teeth is analysed. Experimental fatigue tests were carried out on carburized, and carburized and shot peened, specimens. In order to predict crack propagation and to consider the effect of the treatments, different models of the cracked specimens were realized. Two numerical approaches were followed: the finite element method and the weight function technique. Two- and three-dimensional finite element models were constructed, and the stress-intensity factors were evaluated by considering the effect of both the load and the residual stresses due to the treatments. The agreement between these and those obtained through the weight function technique is good. The weight function approach was used directly in the computer software package (which allows crack propagation predictions) and considered the effects of hardness and residual stresses. The comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results validated the approach followed.

INFLUENCE OF LOW-INTENSITY SHOT PEENING ON THE FATIGUE STRENGTH OF AN Al/Al

Metal matrix composites are increasingly utilized in engineering applications because of their favourable strength/weight ratio. However, their applications are still limited because of their relatively poor fatigue resistance, which could be improved by using some appropriate surface treatment. In this paper, an Al/Al₂ O₃ (20%) composite material is considered. In particular its fatigue strength is examined to verify if, how and when shot peening can be used to improve the performances of MMC components that are cyclically loaded. Fatigue tests allow one to evaluate the influence of shot peening on the fatigue limit of both smooth and notched specimens. Residual stress measurements, fracture surface analyses and metallographic examinations allow one to evaluate the role of residual stresses, hardening and grain distortion on the improvement that can be achieved with this treatment. On the basis of these results, some guidelines are drawn on how to optimize the choice of peening parameters.

工艺参数对马氏体不锈钢激光冲击区表面轮廓的影响

激光功率密度和搭接率对马氏体不锈钢的激光冲击区的表面轮廓有较大影响.激光功率密度从3.79 GW/cm2到7.25 GW/cm2,冲击区塑性变形程度随功率密度增大而增大,当激光功率密度为6.09 GW/cm2时,冲击区塑性变形程度适中,其残余应力平均值达-569.1 MPa.搭接率试验结果表明,搭接率为33%时,可获得较大面积无挤出的激光冲击区,无挤出区域的塑性均匀,变形深度波动幅度在2μm以内,而且此搭接率下冲击区挤出面积较小,分布具有规律,便于再次冲击以降低冲击区的表面波纹度.
