In this paper the fatigue behavior of double shear lap joints treated by different combinations of interference fit and bolt clamping have been investigated both experimentally and numerically. To do so, specimens made from aerospace structural material of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 plates were interference fitted at the sizes of 1.5% and 4.7% and torque tightened with 2 and 4 N m to be prepared for fatigue tests. Consequently, the joints were subjected to cyclic load at different levels to obtain fatigue life. Finite element (FE) analysis was also performed to find the stress and strain distributions and the results were used to help explain the trends observed in the experimentally obtained S–N data. The experimental tests showed that during the interference fit process a protruded region is created at around the hole in the exit plane due to directional material plastic flow as a consequence of the oversized bolt force fitting. This protruded region has a bigger height for the bigger interference fit size. The finite element results showed that the protruded region generally localizes the compressive effect of bolt clamping and reduces its capability in fatigue life enhancement, by relaxing the clamping force. The fatigue test results showed that a better fatigue life improvement was achieved by employing the combination of a smaller interference fit size and bigger clamping force. 相似文献

In this research the effect of bolt interference fit on the fatigue life of lap joints in double shear was investigated by conducting experimental fatigue tests and also analytically by FE simulation. In the experimental part, fatigue tests were carried out on specimens made from aluminium alloy 2024-T3 plates joined together as double lap joints and secured using bolts having fits ranging from zero clearance to different levels of interference. The results demonstrate how the failure is affected using different levels of interference fit. In the numerical study, 3-D FE models were used to simulate the different pin in hole fits considered and the results have been used to help explain the trends which were observed in the experimentally obtained S–N curve behaviour. 相似文献

In this research the affect that lubrication at a hole and pin connection has on the fatigue life of a double shear lap joint is studied both experimentally and numerically. The study focuses on the joint middle plate item, which is connected via a central hole to the outer plates by means of a clearance fitting pin, thereby placing the hole in double shear. In the experimental work three identical batches of fatigue specimens, which are made from aluminum alloy 2024-T3, were fatigue tested. In the first batch the surface of the fastener hole was not lubricated whilst the hole in the other two batches was lubricated – each batch using a different lubricant. The three batches of double shear lap joint specimens were fatigue tested and their S–N curves established. The results show that the specimens in which the holes were lubricated have better fatigue lives than the non-lubricated hole specimens. In the numerical study, FE simulations were performed to include hole lubrication effect on the stress distribution by using different friction coefficient at the interface of the hole and its fastener (pin). The FE results have helped to gain an understanding of the reasons for fatigue life improvement and also have helped to quantify the level of improvement. 相似文献

The fatigue behavior of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 single lap four-bolted joints was studied by high-frequency fatigue test and finite element (FE) methods. The fatigue test results showed that a better enhancement of fatigue life was achieved for the joints with high-locked bolts by employing the combinations of cold expansion, interference fit, and clamping force. The fractography revealed that fatigue cracks propagated tortuously; more fatigue micro-cliffs, tearing ridges, lamellar structure were observed, and fatigue striation spacing was simultaneously reduced. The evaluation of residual stress conducted by FE methods confirmed the experimental results and locations of fatigue crack initiation. The extension of fatigue lives can be attributed to the evolution of fatigue damage and effect of beneficial compressive residual stresses around the hole, resulting in the delay of crack initiation, crack deflection, and plasticity-induced crack closure. 相似文献

The aim of this work is the characterization of the fatigue behaviour of AA2024-T3 friction stir welded overlap joints produced at German Aerospace Center (DLR) of Cologne (D). In these joints, two crack-like unwelded zones are present at overlap ends. The stress intensity factor at the crack tip and the fatigue crack path have been studied using the FE code Franc2d and the lifetime has been estimated by integrating the material propagation law with the software AFgrow, in which the stress intensity factor calculated with Franc2d was introduced. The numerical results predict lifetimes shorter than the experiments. This fact is attributed to an initial propagation in shear mode for a short distance, which was indeed observed with an optical microscope and it is predicted by mixed mode “failure mechanism map”. 相似文献

In this paper, the effect of bolt clamping force on the fatigue life of bolted double shear lap joints was investigated numerically. To do so, finite element simulation results were used to illustrate the trends occurred in experimental fatigue tests showing the effect of bolt clamping on improving the fatigue life of double shear lap joints. The results show that clamping force decreases the resultant longitudinal stress at the hole edge thus the fatigue life increases compared to clearance fit specimens. In general, at higher tightening torque longer fatigue lives were achieved, however, below a certain load level the life improvement was discontinued because of fretting occurrence. Also lubricating the specimens reduces the advantages of the clamping force. 相似文献

In this paper, the mean stress relaxation behavior of simple Al‐alloy 2024‐T3 specimens and also the mean stress relaxation around the hole of cold expanded specimen are studied. The analyses are performed through the combination of the nonlinear isotropic hardening and Chaboche nonlinear kinematic hardening model accompanied by the results of experimental tests. The strain‐controlled axial tests are performed at two different strain amplitudes, while the stress‐controlled tests of cold expanded specimens are performed for three different imposed load amplitudes. The constitutive equations of the hardening model are coded as a UMAT subroutine in FORTRAN programming language and implemented in the commercial finite element code of ABAQUS. The accuracy of the hardening model has been proved in two steps: first by simulations of mean stress relaxation during the uniaxial strain‐controlled cyclic tests and second by simulation of strain ratcheting during the stress‐controlled cyclic loading. The stress and strain distributions after cold expansion process are examined as well as the mean stress relaxation due to cyclic loading. The results show the influences of imposed stress amplitude on increasing mean stress relaxation and also the effect of cold expansion level on reducing the mean stress relaxation. 相似文献

In this paper, the effects of tightening torque (clamping force) on the fatigue crack growth rate and stress intensity factors in cracked single lap simple bolted and hybrid (adhesive/bolted) joints have been studied experimentally and numerically. To do so, series of fatigue crack growth tests for two different amounts of tightening torque in Aluminum alloy 2024-T3 pre-cracked joints have been carried out to record the fatigue crack growth and also the fatigue life of specimens. In the numerical part, finite element method was employed to obtain the stress intensity factors and also the effective stress intensity factor ranges for different crack lengths to explain the behavior of fatigue crack propagation. It was found that the hybrid joint has longer fatigue crack growth life compared to the simple bolted joint at a given bolt tightening torque. The results also showed that a higher bolt tightening torque provides improved fatigue crack growth life for both types of the joints. 相似文献

In this article, the effect of bolt clamping force on the fatigue life of bolted double shear lap joints was investigated. To do so, fatigue tests were carried out on the bolt clamped double shear lap joint specimens made of aluminum alloy 2024-T3. These fatigue tests were conducted with applied torques of 0.25, 2 and 4 N m at different cyclic longitudinal load levels in un-lubricated and lubricated states. From these tests the stress–life (S–N) data for different clamping forces for un-lubricated and lubricated states were obtained. The results show that clamping force increases fatigue life compared to clearance fit specimens. In general, at higher tightening torque higher fatigue lives were achieved, however, below a certain load level the life improvement was discontinued because of fretting phenomenon. Also lubricating the parts of the specimens reduces the advantage of clamping force or torque tightening. 相似文献

In this paper seven different multiaxial fatigue criteria based on stress, strain and energy were employed to estimate the fatigue lives of double shear lap joint specimens of aluminum 2024-T3 with bolt clamped and interference fitted-bolt clamped fastener holes. Detailed finite element (FE) simulations were conducted to obtain the stress and strain distributions in the joint to be used to as basic data in estimating the fatigue lives using multiaxial fatigue criteria. The estimated lives were compared with available experimental fatigue test results to investigate the capability of the criteria in predicting the fatigue lives. The results showed that the accuracy of life estimation for any criterion varies for different batches of specimens and applied load ranges. However, including the fatigue crack growth life can improve the fatigue estimation life and reduce the absolute error of multiaxial fatigue criteria. 相似文献

In this research, the effects of torque tightening on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints have been studied via experimental and multiaxial fatigue analysis. To do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each subjected to different levels of torque i.e. 1, 2.5 and 5 N m and then fatigue tests were carried out at various cyclic longitudinal load levels. A non-linear finite element ANSYS code was used to obtain stress and strain distribution in the joint plates due to torque tightening of bolt and longitudinal applied loads. Fatigue lives of the specimens were estimated with six different multiaxial fatigue criteria by means of local stress and strain distribution obtained from finite element analysis. Multiaxial fatigue analysis and experimental results revealed that the fatigue life of double lap bolted joints were improved by increasing the clamping force due to compressive stresses which appeared around the hole. 相似文献

In this paper strain ratcheting in cold expanded flat plate of Al‐alloy 2024‐T3 in double shear lap joints was studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental part, two types of symmetric strain‐controlled and asymmetric stress‐controlled cyclic tests were performed. Also, the cold expanded double shear lap joints subjected to cyclic stress‐controlled tests. The required parameters for simulating the cyclic plastic behaviour of Al‐alloy 2024‐T3 were obtained on the basis of the experimental responses. In the numerical part, a combination of nonlinear isotropic and nonlinear kinematic hardening model (Chaboche) was implemented in the commercial finite element code of ABAQUS, using the subroutine UMAT written in FORTRAN. The results of simulations give an accurate prediction of ratcheting for all types of loading. The obtained results show that increasing the mean stress increases the strain ratcheting. It is clearly shown that the cold expansion process decreases the magnitude of strain ratcheting remarkably compared with “as drilled” specimens and the decrease is bigger for larger cold expansion sizes. Also, it is shown that the middle plane has the highest amount of ratcheting compared to the pin entrance plane and exit plane of the plate hole. 相似文献

Compact specimens were employed to study fatigue crack growth of 2024-T4 aluminum alloy under constant/variable amplitude loading. Apparent R-ratio effect under constant amplitude loading was identified with the nominal stress intensity factor range. Fatigue crack growth rates predicted by a unified model agreed with the experimental data well. Single tensile overload resulted in significant retardation of crack growth which was fully recovered after propagating out of overload-affected zone. Retarded crack growth induced by three-step sequence loading was heavily dependent on two sequence loading parameters. The influence of variable amplitude loading on crack growth was reasonably characterized by Wheeler’s model. 相似文献

Current fatigue life analysis of metallic rotorcraft dynamic components are based on a linear cumulative damage concept known as Miner's rule. This type of analysis assumes that there is no load sequence effect that occurs during the fatigue loading history. Past studies have shown that linear cumulative damage analysis of fatigue tests has produced life predictions that have been conservative as well as unconservative. Some of this uncertainty has been attributed to the fact that load sequence effects do exist in most fatigue load spectra. As a first phase the study reported herein was done to evaluate the load sequencing effects that could exist in commercial fixed-wing fatigue load spectra. To evaluate these effects a typical commercial wing spectra was reordered using a scheme that had previously been shown in fatigue block loading to produce the shortest fatigue lives. This scheme starts with the smallest load range in a load sequence and proceeds in ascending order until the largest load range is reached. Tests on open hole test specimens made of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy were conducted on the normal sequence of loads as well as the reordered scheme called lo–hi. Test results showed no significant differences between the fatigue lives of the normal load sequence and the reordered load sequence. A computer program called FASTRAN which calculates total fatigue life using only crack growth data was shown to predict the fatigue life of the spectrum tests with acceptable accuracy. 相似文献

Microstructural fracture mechanics concepts are used to develop a model to incorporate shot-peening effects into crack propagation laws and fatigue life predictions. Shot peening produces a residual stress which resists opening of the crack and also produces a work-hardened layer within which the flow stress is raised. The model takes account of these effects to give an accurate prediction of the increase in fatigue life. The model was also used to derive the conditions for crack arrest, and the results are presented in the form of a fatigue damage map (FDM). The FDM can be used for the determination of safe loads in durability and maintainability analyses. 相似文献

Ring-shaped specimens of 2054-T351 aluminium alloy were machined orthogonally on a lathe equipped with a quick-stop device at cutting speeds of 0.5–1.5 m s?1 with tools having positive rake angles in the range 10–30°. The machined specimens were then fatigued at a selected stress and the resulting fatigue lives were compared with that of the virgin material. The surfaces of the specimens were examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy.The fatigue life of the machined specimens was found to increase with increasing cutting speed or tool rake angle. The fatigue life of the specimens machined at higher cutting speeds was higher than that of the virgin material, due to the presence of compressive residual stresses in the surface layers. At lower cutting speeds the surface damage was so severe that, in spite of the presence of compressive residual stresses in the surface layers, the fatigue life of the machined specimens was lower than that of the virgin material. 相似文献

The effects of cold spray coating and substrate surface preparation on crack initiation under cyclic loading have been studied on Al2024 alloy specimens. Commercially pure (CP) aluminum feedstock powder has been deposited on Al2024-T351 samples using a cold-spray coating technique known as high velocity particle consolidation. Substrate specimens were prepared by surface grit blasting or shot peening prior to coating. The fatigue behavior of both coated and uncoated specimens was then tested under rotating bend conditions at two stress levels, 180 MPa and 210 MPa. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze failure surfaces and identify failure mechanisms. The results indicate that the fatigue strength was significantly improved on average, up to 50% at 180 MPa and up to 38% at 210 MPa, by the deposition of the cold-sprayed CP-Al coatings. Coated specimens first prepared by glass bead grit blasting experienced the largest average increase in fatigue life over bare specimens. The results display a strong dependency of the fatigue strength on the surface preparation and cold spray parameters. 相似文献

Retardation in fatigue crack growth rate following the application of single and periodic tensile overloads was studied for 2024‐T3 and 7075‐T6 aluminium alloys. Tests were performed at constant stress and at constant stress intensity factor ranges, at a load ratio of R= 0.1, at a baseline ΔK in the 10–20 MPa√m range which corresponds to the Paris regime. Overload ratios of 1.3–1.65 were studied with overload spacing, n, varying from 20 to 10 000 cycles. 2024‐T3 displayed an order of magnitude higher retardation, Nd, due to single tensile overloads compared to 7075‐T6. Periodic overloads induced maximum retardation when n/Nd≈ 0.5 for both alloys, the magnitude being only 15% higher for 2024‐T3. 相似文献

This paper focuses on the results of process optimisation and mechanical tests that were used to ascertain the feasibility of using friction stir welding (FSW) to join stringers to skin. The effects of process parameters on weld quality of 1.5-mm 7075-T6 stringers lap-joined on 2.3-mm 2024-T3 skins were investigated. Advancing and retreating side locations on the joint configuration were alternated to determine optimal design arrangements. The effects of travel and rotation speeds on weld quality and defect generation were also investigated. Weld quality was assessed by optical microscopy and bending tests. It was found that: (i) the increase of the welding speed or the decrease of the rotational speed resulted in a reduction of the hooking size and top plate thinning but did not eliminated them, (ii) double pass welds by overlapping the advancing sides improved significantly the weld quality by overriding the hooking defect, and (iii) change of the rotational direction for a counter clockwise with a left-threaded probe eliminated the top sheet thinning defect. Subsequently, FSW lap joints were produced using optimum conditions and underwent extensive mechanical testing program. Several assembly configurations including discontinuous and continuous welds as well as single and double pass welds were produced. The results obtained for cyclic fatigue performance of FSW panels are compared with riveted lap joints of identical geometry. S–N curves, bending behaviour, failure locations and defect characterisation are also discussed. It was found that: (i) the tensile strength of FSW joints approached that of the base material but with a significant reduction in the fatigue life, (ii) the probe plunge and removal locations served as the key crack nucleation sites in specimens with discontinuous welds, and (iii) double pass welds with overlapping advancing sides showed outstanding fatigue life and very good tensile properties. The present work provided some valuable insight into both the fabrication and application of FSW on stringer/skin lap joints. 相似文献

One of the most important objectives in the surface engineering of light-weight alloys is to enhance their fatigue properties, allowing both increased performance and an extended service life. This can be achieved by forming a hard surface layer while incorporating a favourable stress state. Single surface treatments, for example, Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), are not always capable of creating optimal combinations of these characteristics, whereas greater durability can be achieved by applying mechanical pre-treatments prior to the coating. In this work, a combination of shot-peening pre-treatment with plasma electrolytic oxidation coating is studied as a means to improve the fatigue performance of 2024 T351 Al alloy. The shot-peening was carried out in a compressed air configuration using S110 gauge shot at 200% coverage with an intensity of 20 AlmenC. PEO coatings of 30 μm thickness were produced using pulsed bipolar current technology. Fatigue properties were evaluated by a four-point bending technique at a stress ratio of 0.1. Hardness, residual stress and microstructure of the surface layers were studied by Knoop microhardness tests, fluorescence spectroscopy and SEM analyses, respectively. The effect of the combined shot-peening and PEO treatment is an increased fatigue limit and elevated microhardness when compared to aluminium treated only with PEO. 相似文献
