Contribution of low load cycles to fatigue damage in 0.15 %C steel The S‐N curve of 0.15 %C steel shows an endurance limit. Two‐step variable amplitude loading experiments serve to investigate the influence of numerous cycles below the endurance limit on fatigue damage. If high stress amplitudes of the loading sequences are more than approx. 15 % above the endurance limit, low load cycles contribute significantly to fatigue damage. Investigations of fatigue crack propagation under two‐step variable amplitude loading show accelerated crack growth caused by low load cycles. If high stress amplitudes of the two‐step sequences are less than 15 % above the endurance limit, beneficial influences of numerous low load cycles are found. Under these conditions, the material can sustain far greater numbers of load cycles than predicted by Miner damage accumulation calculation. Fatigue crack growth studies show that under these conditions for the high load numerous low load cycles lead to stop of the crack propagation. 相似文献

Transverse fatigue behaviour and residual stress analyses of double sided FSW aluminium alloy joints

Friction stir welding (FSW) since its invention has been attracting relevant interest for joining aluminium alloys. Due to the nature of this process, the materials can be joint without melting. Thanks to this peculiar characteristic, the issues associated with the cooling from liquid phase are avoided or considerably reduced, such as cracking, porosity, and defects. However, as well as other well‐established welding techniques, the FSW process gives rise to formation of residual stress in the welding region and surrounding volume: heat and thermo‐mechanical affected zones. Presence of residual stress in a mechanical component is well‐known to affect its performance, particularly regarding fatigue at high number of cycles. Another aspect that influences the fatigue life is the underlying microstructure. In this work, we firstly study the residual stress field and the underlying microstructural features arising in FSW butt joints and their effect on the fatigue performance of this type of weldments. The evaluation of residual stress field is carried out by means of modern experimental techniques. In the first instance, synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction was employed for two‐dimensional full field maps of residual stress. Corroboration of these measurements was done by exploiting the capability of focused ion beam and digital image correlation (FIB‐DIC), which is able to deliver pointwise absolute measurement of residual stress. A set of FSW samples were then tested under uniaxial fatigue loading at several loading ranges, in the high cycle fatigue regime, in order to understand whether the severity of loads affects the crack path and life endurance. Fractographic and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis then revealed crack nucleation site and propagation mechanisms with the respect of the underlying microstructure. Outcome of these experimental studies is then thoroughly discussed. 相似文献

Similar and dissimilar friction stir welded joints made from AA2124+25 % SiC and AA2024 An aluminium matrix composite (AMC) consisting of an AA2124 matrix reinforced by 25 vol.% SiC particles was used to produce similar AMC+AMC and dissimilar AMC+2024‐T3 joints by friction stir welding. When the particle reinforced composite was located on the retreating side, material mixing was less intense for dissimilar joints. Nevertheless, a higher strength has been determined for this arrangement due to a hook‐like interlocking of both materials. Tensile test and S‐N fatigue behaviour is shown to be compromised by alignment of the reinforcement particles perpendicular to loading direction already in the particle reinforced base material. Welding residual stresses were determined through the cut‐compliance method in terms of stress intensities acting at the crack tip. The underlying residual stress distribution in the un‐cracked structure was calculated by the weight function method. Longitudinal tensile residual stresses were found to be higher in the monolithic material as compared to the particle reinforced composite. This held true both for similar and within dissimilar joints. Growth behaviour of cracks crossing the joint line was described and correlated with residual stresses for similar joints. 相似文献

Fatigue properties of friction stir welding (FSW) butt joints for Al–Cu alloy 2219‐T6 were investigated by experimental analysis and numerical simulation. Microstructure characteristics of FSW butt joints for 2219 aluminium alloy were studied during different fatigue stages. Micro hardness values and grain sizes across the FSW joint at different cycles were measured to study the fatigue properties of the joint. Local mechanical performances of the FSW butt joints were investigated based on the micro tensile tests. Fatigue parameters of different regions in the FSW joints were obtained from the four‐point‐correlation method. The local stress and strain response of the FSW joints were obtained based on mechanical performances of the micro tension specimens. The comparison results between simulation and tests analysis show that the built finite element model is effective for estimating the weak areas for FSW joints. 相似文献

In order to know the criterion of fatigue striation formation, fatigue fracture surfaces and crack paths were investigated in Fe–3%Si single and bicrystals having various crystallographic orientations. On single crystals, striations were formed when the loading direction was close to a 〈110〉 direction. In this direction, the crack grew perpendicular to the loading direction. When the loading direction was near a 〈111〉 direction and the crack grew along an inclined plane, no striations were observed. Even in this orientation, when the crack grew perpendicular by necessity using bicrystals, striations were observed. This suggests that striations are not formed on a special crystallographic plane, but are formed when the fatigue crack plane is perpendicular to the loading direction regardless of crystallographic orientation. 相似文献

The article presents two‐stage fatigue life evaluation of a stiffened aluminium aircraft fuselage panel, subject to ground–air–ground pressure cycles, with a bulging circumferential crack and a broken stringer. As a worst‐case scenario, it is assumed that double cracks start at the edge of a rivet hole both in the skin and in the stringer simultaneously. In the first stage, fatigue crack growth analysis is performed until the stringer is completely broken with the crack on the fuselage skin propagating. After the stringer is completely broken, the effect of bulging crack on the fatigue life of the panel is investigated utilizing the stress intensity factors determined by the three‐dimensional finite element analyses of the fuselage panel with the broken stringer. It is concluded that bulging of the skin due to the internal pressure can have significant effect on the stress intensity factor, resulting in fast crack propagation after the stringer is completely broken. 相似文献

In this paper, the growth of long fatigue cracks up to failure in aircraft components is studied. A deterministic model is presented, able to simulate the growth of fatigue through cracks located at rivet holes in lap‐joint panels. It also includes criteria to assess the link‐up of collinear adjacent cracks in a MSD scenario. To validate the model, a fatigue test campaign was carried out on riveted lap‐joint specimens in order to produce experimental crack growth and link‐up data. Accurate measurements of naturally occurred surface cracks were automatically performed by the Image Analysis technique, thus allowing the tests to run 24 h a day. The comparison between experimental tests and numerical simulations is good, thus confirming the model as a useful tool for the assessment of fatigue life of aircraft riveted joints. 相似文献

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties of VDSiCr spring steel are investigated with ultrasonic equipment under fully reversed cyclic torsion loading and under cyclic axial loading at load ratios R = –1, R = 0.1 and R = 0.5. Shot‐peened specimens with surface finish similar to valve springs in combustion engines are tested until limiting lifetimes of 1010 cycles. Under cyclic torsion loading, specimens either fail below 106 cycles with crack initiation at the surface or they do not fail. Under cyclic axial loading, failures above 109 cycles were found for all load ratios with crack initiation at the surface or at internal inclusions. Ratio of mean endurance limit (50% failure probability at 1010 cycles) under fully reversed cyclic torsion and cyclic tension‐compression loading is 0.86. Cyclic torsion loading slightly below the endurance limit leads to cyclic softening first followed by cyclic hardening whereas cyclic stability is found for tension‐compression loading. Cyclic torsion reduces surface compression stresses whereas they are hardly affected by cyclic tension‐compression loading. Mean endurance limit at 1010 cycles for R = 0.1 is 61% of the endurance stress amplitude at load ratio R = –1, and for R = 0.5 it is 44% of the tension‐compression endurance limit. Endurance limits for cyclic torsion and cyclic tension‐compression loading are comparable, if effective stress amplitude is used that considers cyclic normal stresses and residual compression stresses at the surface. 相似文献

Damage tolerance of an aerospace grade aluminum alloy was studied using a new design philosophy in skin and stringer geometries. Systematic thickness variations (crenellations) were introduced onto the skin and stringers of the laser beam welded (LBW) stiffened Al2139-T8 large center cracked flat panels to modify the stress intensity factor (SIF) distribution and hence to improve fatigue life. Fatigue crack propagation (FCP) tests (on panels with crenellations) with crack growing perpendicular to the welded stringers were conducted under constant amplitude and spectrum loading conditions. Results were compared with the “classical” LBW stiffened panels (with no crenellations) having equal weight and tested under the same conditions. The new panel design with crenellations showed substantially longer fatigue lives under constant amplitude loading. This gain significantly improved under spectrum (MINI-TWIST) loading fatigue tests. This paper presents the first FCP test results of a comprehensive ongoing program which investigates the efficiency of component design with crenellations to improve damage tolerance behavior of welded Al-alloy and steel structures. Issues including microstructural examinations, numerical investigations, fitness-for-service (FFS) analysis and residual strength aspects of this program will be topics of another communication. 相似文献

Thermal mechanical fatigue behaviour of particle reinforced EN AW‐6061‐T6 and development of residual stresses in the matrix material by thermal mechanical loading The behaviour of non reinforced and 15 Vol.‐% α‐alumina particle reinforced wrought aluminium alloy EN AW‐6061‐T6 in thermal mechanical fatigue loading was investigated at different maximum temperatures. The tests were performed in strain controlled mode by means of an electro‐mechanical testing machine. Alternating load deformation and life cycle behaviour either materials were compared. It came out, that the reinforcement leads to an decreasing thermal mechanical fatigue life cycle while keeping constant the maximum temperature and mechanical loading. The two materials showed softening behaviour due to high maximum temperatures of 573 K to 673 K. However, there is an intense scatter of the number of cycles to failure of the non reinforced alloy aggravating the interpretation of the results. On the other hand the thermal mechanical life cycle increases in combination with increasing maximum temperatures. Simultaneously the part of plastic deformation in mechanical loading increases for both materials, while for a constant total strain range the effective maximum and minimum stresses are decreasing. Furthermore, the development of residual stresses in the matrix of the reinforced alloy by thermal mechanical fatigue loading was analysed. It was observed that only small absolute values of residual stresses will be obtained for these loads. Nevertheless, tendencies of mounting tensile residual stresses can be identified in the direction of thermal mechanical fatigue loading and subsequently reduction of the residual stresses. 相似文献

The fatigue crack growth behaviour of 2024 T3 aluminium was investigated experimentally. The fatigue experiments were performed under constant stress amplitude, constant amplitude with single and multiple overloads and aircraft service spectra. The fatigue spectra used correspond to the air-to-air, air-to-ground and instrumentation and navigation flight phases. They were applied for different stress levels. In total 11 different random flight service spectra were examined. The retardation effects caused by the overloads on the fatigue crack growth behaviour and the fatigue crack growth under aircraft service spectra were predicted using an in-house-developed code. The code makes use of the strip plastic zone approximation to account for material hardening effects along the path of prospective crack growth. Crack growth is treated incrementally and corresponds to failure of material elements ahead of an existing crack after a certain critical number of fatigue cycles. For the simulation of irregular service spectra by equivalent sequences of distinguished stress cycles a modified rainflow counting method is utilized. Spectrum simulation accounts also for non-linearity in fatigue damage accumulation and load sequence effects. The computed fatigue curves fit well with the experimental results. 相似文献

This work examines the fatigue behaviour of additive cold spray (CS) repairs of AA7075 and AA2024 fastener holes. Structural ring repairs around fastener holes were made by machining blend‐outs ranging from 1/8 to 1/2 the thickness of the plate, then refilling the section of removed material with CS deposition. The repairs were then tested in a lap shear geometry with the repair on both the free (outside) and the mating (inside) surfaces, as well as in remote uniaxial tension. CS repairs for the inside lap shear AA7075 repair configuration and the outside lap shear AA2024 repair configuration were found to have significantly increased fatigue lives even exceeding the number of cycles to failure of the undamaged, unrepaired control plates. Further, none of the CS repairs caused any detrimental impact on fatigue life, and microhardness results indicate that no thermal damage to the substrate occurred. Some interface cracking was seen in the CS repairs; however, no separation of the repair from the substrate was observed. 相似文献

Prediction on Fatigue Life of Notched Specimens under Cyclic Bending Loading Pulsating 3P‐bending fatigue tests are conducted on edge‐notched specimens of AA7075. Measurements of electrical potential drop across notches were used to determine the number of cycles up to crack initiation. Cyclic material data determined from strain–controlled constant amplitude loading are use in FE‐analyses to the determination time functions of the local stresses and strains at the notch root using non‐linear material model according to Chaboche and Lemaitre. Using these FE computations, the fatigue life is predicted by the equivalent strain approach of the “ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code” and compared with the results of the plastic strain energy approach. It is found that both approaches lead to relatively good predictions. 相似文献

Fatigue crack growth behaviours of the titanium alloy Ti‐6Al‐4V, with two different microstructures, at different maximum stresses were identified by digital image correlation technique. Full‐field strains were monitored around fatigue cracks after consecutive cycles in fatigue crack growth experiments. Results indicated that the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy with a bi‐modal microstructure had a better fatigue resistance than that with a primary‐α microstructure. Typical behaviours of small cracks and the evolution of multi‐scale fatigue cracks were clarified. The strain accumulations around the micro‐notch and fatigue crack increased with increasing number of load cycles. On the basis of von Mises strain mapping, it was found that crack growth rate could be characterized by crack‐tip plastic zone size. 相似文献

In ductile metals one of basic mechanisms for fatigue crack growth is that based on crack-tip blunting under the maximum load and re-sharpening of the crack-tip under minimum load. In this paper, simulations of fatigue crack growth by crack-tip blunting using ANSYS finite element code are presented. This investigation focuses solely on simulation of fatigue crack growth due to crack-tip plasticity only. As such, any material damage and its fracture is not considered. Due to high plastic deformation the present simulations utilize a remeshing technique which allows applying a number of load cycles without terminating the simulation due to the error caused by excessive mesh distortion. The simulations were conducted using a center cracked specimen under various loading conditions including different load ranges and load ratios R = −1, 0 and 0.333. It is shown that fatigue crack growth (FCG) slows down with number of cycles towards a steady state value. The simulated FCG data for constant amplitude loading follow the Paris power law relationship and also indicate a typical R-ratio dependence. It can be noted that for all load cases with load ratios R > 0 no crack closure in the vicinity of the crack-tip wake was observed. 相似文献

The advantages of friction stir welding (FSW) process compared to conventional fusion welding technologies have been clearly demonstrated in recent years. In the present study, AA6082 FSW joints were produced by employing different welding parameters. The principal aim of this work is to apply thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) to study crack propagation characteristics of friction stir welded aluminum sheets, during cyclic fatigue tests. The crack propagation experiments were performed by employing single edge notched specimens; fatigue tests were performed under tension with load ratio R = 0.1. All the mechanical tests were conducted up to failure. The TSA measurement system allowed crack evolution to be observed in real-time during fatigue cycles and stress fields to be derived on the specimens from the measured temperature variation. The thermoelastic data were used to analyse principal stresses and principal strains on the specimens surface and the crack growth rate during tests. In addition, it was possible to evaluate all the joints defects effects, as a function of welding parameters, correlating effects on different crack growth rate and instabilities. The achieved results were compared with those obtained by classical CCD camera monitoring of crack front propagation during cyclic loading and all the results were validated by employing finite element analysis performed with ABAQUS software. 相似文献

Twinning at thermal fatigue of magnesium alloy AZ31 In this paper results of thermal fatigue tests of the magnesium base alloy AZ31 carried out in a temperature range between ‐50 °C and +290 °C are presented. Specimens were loaded under constant total strain and uniaxial homogeneous stresses. The resulting materials behaviour is described by stress amplitudes, plastic strain amplitudes and mean stresses as a function of the number of thermal loading cycles. It is well known that AZ31 shows different stress‐strain behaviour during tensile and compressive loading resp. at lower temperatures due to the fact that mechanical twinning depends on the loading direction. However untwinning processes may occur during unloading and reloading in the opposite direction. As a consequence, during the first thermal loading cycles, typical consequences of the formation and the dissolution of twins are observed. The interaction of deformation, recovery and recrystallization processes, characteristic for individual temperature ranges are discussed in detail to analyze the damage progress during thermal fatigue. 相似文献

Studies in fatigue can be summarized into two stages, fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation. Fatigue damage may increase the risk of failure under cyclic load. Energy dissipation, termed damping, occurs in engineering metals and is a function of the cyclic loading history. Damping behaviour of materials has been estimated using many different experimental techniques, and parameters i.e. the loss factor vs. strain amplitude, frequency range, etc. However, micro‐structural changes in the form of fatigue damage are also contributors to damping in engineering materials. In order to measure energy dissipation, a damping monitoring method has been used. Under a constant cyclic load up to the point of fatigue crack initiation, the effects of fatigue on damping factor were studied for 6061‐T6511 aluminium alloy. In the experiments, the stress levels were below yield point, 50% and 70% of ultimate strength. Experimental results showed that the damping factor changes with the number of fatigue cycles. Percentage increase in damping energy was calculated using experimental data. 相似文献

Spray‐formed hypereutectic aluminium silicon alloy DISPAL® S232–T6x is cycled with variable amplitude at ultrasonic frequency up to the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime under fully reversed tension–compression loading. The Powder Metallurgy alloy is tested using a Gaussian cumulative frequency distribution of load cycles, and lifetimes are compared with constant amplitude data. Miner calculation delivers mean damage sums between 0.5 and 0.9 for mean lifetimes between 8 × 107 and 1.6 × 1010 cycles, respectively. Cracks are initiated at voids, at inclusions or at distributed inhomogeneities (porous areas or oxides) at the surface or in the interior. In situ analysis of vibration properties indicates that cracks are formed and start growing from the beginning of fatigue cycling, even if failure occurs in the very high cycle fatigue regime. Crack initiation stage is negligible. Lifetime prediction calculation is performed using an adapted Paris‐law and considering lifetime as cycles necessary to propagate an initial crack to failure. Measured and predicted mean lifetimes differ by factor 0.4–1.0. Large crack‐initiating defects strongly reduce the fatigue lifetimes, which is successfully covered in the crack propagation model. 相似文献
