SEM-based electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) measurements characterize constituent-particle nucleated fatigue crack path relative to local grain orientation and crack wake defect distribution for Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy 7050-T7451 stressed in moist air. Crack propagation is primarily transgranular; consisting of facets parallel to {1 0 0}, {1 1 0} and high-index planes with no evidence of {1 1 1} slip-based cracking; and is also inter-subgranular involving pre-existing or fatigue process zone generated subgrain boundaries. Dislocation substructure develops close to the fatigue crack surface due to dynamic recovery of crack tip cyclic plasticity. Crack growth through subgrain structure explains the broad occurrence of crack features without a low-index orientation and is justified based on trapped-hydrogen embrittlement. A failure criterion for environmental fatigue modeling must capture a failure mechanism based on: (a) formation of localized defect structure from cumulative cyclic plasticity (perhaps H sensitive), and (b) subsequent embrittlement due to interaction of H trapped at this defect structure with microstructure-sensitive local tensile stresses normal to this weakened interface. Crack interaction with subgrain (and grain) boundaries produces local deflections and branches that arrest over a short distance. Such features should cause a distribution of microstructure-sensitive growth rates.  相似文献

This paper presents the recent experimental results aimed at disclosing the loading frequency effect on the fatigue behavior of a plain concrete and two types of fiber-reinforced concrete, using polypropylene and steel fibers. Compressive fatigue tests were conducted on 123 cubic specimens (100 mm in edge length). Four different loading frequencies, 4 Hz, 1 Hz, 1/4 Hz and 1/16 Hz, were employed. The maximum stress applied on the specimen was 85% of its compressive strength and the stress ratio was kept constant as 0.3. The results show that the loading frequency effect on the fatigue behavior of the plain concrete is pronounced. The fatigue life (the number of cycles to failure) at lower frequencies is less than that at higher frequencies. However, the fibers do improve the fatigue behavior significantly under low loading frequencies. Such trend can be attributed to the effectiveness of the fibers in bridging cracks, and thus inhibiting the crack extension under cyclic loads.  相似文献

In this work, fatigue crack propagation in thin-walled aluminium alloy structure with two friction stir welded T joints has been simulated numerically. Crack propagation in stiffened part of the structure between two friction stir welded T joints is analysed by using the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM), including software ABAQUS, as well as MORFEO, for modelling and results display. Tensile fatigue loading is applied, with stress ratio R = 0, and maximum stress σmax = 10 MPa. Material properties (Al 2024-T351, as used in aeronautical industry) in different welded joints zones are adopted from available literature data. Following results are obtained by numerical analysis: stress–strain and displacement state in the structure, position of the crack tip and value of stress intensity factor for every crack propagation step, as well as the structural life estimation, i.e. number of load cycles, N, also for each crack propagation step. Using these results the number of cycles at which the crack starts to propagate in an unstable manner is predicted.  相似文献

An ultrasonic fatigue testing system capable of operating at temperatures up to 1000 °C has been developed and utilized to study the fatigue behavior of a single crystal superalloy (PWA 1484) at a temperature of 1000 °C and loading frequency of approximately 20 kHz. The stress-life data generated from the ultrasonic testing system were comparable to those from conventional servo-hydraulic fatigue tests for similar single crystal alloys. Interior Ta-rich carbides were the major microstructural feature responsible for crack initiation in the alloy. Crack growth under ultrasonic loading frequency at 1000 °C for PWA 1484 occurred in a crystallographic manner on {1 1 1} octahedral slip planes, in contrast to the normal Mode-I growth mode typically observed for single crystal superalloys at high temperature (>850 °C) with conventional servo-hydraulic loading frequencies (<100 Hz).  相似文献

The paper presents the fatigue test results of rectangular cross-section specimens made of 10HNAP (S355J2G1W) steel. The specimen height to width ratio was 1.5. The tests under bending with torsion were performed for the following ratios of bending to torsional moments MaB/MaT = 0.47, 0.94, 1.87 and the loading frequency 26.5 Hz. Nominal stresses were chosen for the equivalent stress according to the Huber-Mises hypothesis equal to 360 MPa. The tests were performed in the high cycle fatigue regime for the stress ratio R = −1 and phase shift between bending and torsion loading equal to ϕ = 0 and 90°. Crack initiation and propagation phases were observed on the specimen surface using the optical microscope (magnification 20×) with an integrated digital camera. The test results for the fatigue crack growth rate versus the stress intensity factor range for mode I and mode III have been described with the Paris equation.  相似文献

Duplex stainless steels (DSS) fatigue crack propagation resistance is strongly affected by both microstructure and environment. In this work, environment influence on the fatigue crack propagation in a 22 Cr 5 Ni duplex and in a 25 Cr 7 Ni superduplex stainless steels is investigated considering three different stress ratios (R = Kmin/Kmax = 0.1, 0.5, 0.75). Tests are performed according to ASTM E 647 standard, both in air and under hydrogen charging conditions (0.1 M H2SO4 + 0.01 M KSCN aqueous solution, ?0.9 V/SCE). Crack fracture surfaces are extensively analysed by means of a scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, crack paths are investigated by means of a crack profile analysis performed through a light optical microscope. Nickel coated fracture surface sections obtained for constant ΔK values are considered in order to analyse the loading (R values) and environment influence on fatigue crack paths.  相似文献

A series of fatigue experiments was performed in order to investigate the effect of the R-ratio on the fatigue/fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP double cantilever beam joints. Constant amplitude fatigue experiments were carried out under displacement control with a frequency of 5 Hz in ambient laboratory conditions. Three different R-ratios were applied: R = 0.1, R = 0.5 and R = 0.8. The crack length was determined by means of crack gages and a dynamic compliance method. The dominant failure mode was a fiber-tear failure that occurred in the mat layers of the pultruded laminates. The depth of the crack location significantly affected the energy dissipated for the fracture under cyclic loading. Short-fiber and roving bridging increased the fracture resistance during crack propagation. Fatigue crack growth curves were derived for each R-ratio and each observed crack path location. The fatigue threshold and slope of the fatigue crack growth curve significantly increased with increased R-ratio.  相似文献

Through investigating and comparing the fatigue behavior of an as-cast Mg–7%Gd–5%Y–1%Nd–0.5%Zr alloy in both laboratory air and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the effect of corrosion attack on fatigue crack initiation has been disclosed. The S–N curves showed that the fatigue strength in air was 120 MPa and not sensitive to the loading frequency, whereas the fatigue strength in NaCl solution decreased from 80 MPa to 60 MPa with the loading frequency decreasing from 20 Hz to 5 Hz. Observations to fracture surfaces demonstrated that in air, fatigue cracks preferentially initiated at the oxide inclusions. However, the fatigue crack initiation in NaCl solution was associated with corrosion pits. Moreover, multiple fatigue cracks initiated at pits on fracture surfaces of corrosion fatigue failed samples when the loading frequency decreased to 5 Hz. Based on the measured “defect area” of oxide inclusions, the predicted fatigue strength in air could be well fitted with the experimental data. However, due to the occurrence of hydrogen embrittlement and crack initiation at multiple sites, the fatigue strength of samples tested in NaCl solution cannot be predicted.  相似文献

Tension–compression fatigue behavior of a non-oxide ceramic composite with a multilayered matrix was investigated at 1200 °C in laboratory air and in steam. The composite was produced via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The composite had an oxidation inhibited matrix, which consisted of alternating layers of silicon carbide and boron carbide and was reinforced with laminated woven Hi-Nicalon™ fibers. Fiber preforms had pyrolytic carbon fiber coating with boron carbide overlay applied. Tension–compression fatigue behavior was studied for fatigue stresses ranging from 80 to 200 MPa at a frequency of 1.0 Hz. Presence of steam significantly degraded the fatigue performance. Specimens that achieved fatigue run-out were subjected to tensile tests to failure to characterize the retained tensile properties. The material retained 100% of its tensile strength. Composite microstructure, as well as damage and failure mechanisms were investigated.  相似文献

Behavior of fatigue crack which was propagated at some representative areas in the friction stir welded (FSWed) joint of aluminum alloy 6063-T5 was studied. By extracting the T–L orientation specimens so that the loading axis on the fatigue test and the crack propagation direction were transverse and longitudinal to the welding direction, respectively, the crack propagation tests were carried out for both the as-welded and post-weld heat treated (PWHTed) FSWs at room temperature and 200 °C. The experiments showed that the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) rates were sensitive to the propagating location, the test temperature, and the PWHT condition as well. It was also found that the different FCP rates were driven by the microstructural influences in and around the welded zone. While the residual stress was remarkable in the shoulder limit areas, it had a minor effect on the FCP behavior.  相似文献

Fatigue crack growth rates have been experimentally determined for the superalloy GH2036 (in Chinese series) at an elevated temperature of 550 °C under pure low cycle fatigue (LCF) and combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) loading conditions by establishing a CCF test rig and using corner-notched specimens. These studies reveal decelerated crack growth rates under CCF loading compared to pure LCF loading, and crack propagation accelerates as the dwell time prolongs. Then the mechanism of fatigue crack growth at different loadings has been discussed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses of the fracture surface.  相似文献

The aim of this study is to examine the corrosion fatigue behavior of filament wound composite pipes with a surface crack under alternating internal pressure. The filament wound pipes are composed of multi-layered E-glass/epoxy composites with a [±75°]3 lay-up. The surface notches were formed on the outer surface of the pipe along the pipe axis. Dilute (0.6 M) HCl acid was applied to the surface crack region by a corrosion cell mounted on the outer surface of the pipe. The results of an experimental investigation into the corrosion fatigue tests are conducted to observe the oil leakage failure and the crack propagation of the composite pipe subjected internal pressure loading with an open ended condition in which the pipe can be deformed freely in the axial direction. The internal pressure was generated by conventional hydraulic oil for fatigue loading. The fatigue tests are performed at 0.42 Hz frequency and a stress ratio of R = 0.05 in accordance with ASTM D-2992 standard. The oil leakage from the crack tip was observed after the crack propagation reached to the critical stress intensity level. The fatigue crack propagation behavior with the environment exposure was strongly dependent on the crack parameters such as crack-depth ratio and crack-aspect ratio. The micro structure of the fracture surface with the effect of environment and the fatigue loading were also observed.  相似文献

The effect of stress ratio (R) on fatigue lifetime of a cast Ti–45Al–8.0Nb–0.2W–0.2B–0.1Y (at.%) alloy was investigated at 750 °C. Fatigue tests with various stress ratios ranging from 0.1 to 1 were performed using a mini servo-hydraulic fatigue machine inside a chamber of scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior was studied by in situ SEM observation and fatigue fracture mode was examined by fracture surface analysis. It is found that fatigue lifetime shows a reversed S-type curve with the increase of stress ratio. At R ranging from 0.1 to 0.4, creep–fatigue interaction dominates the fatigue lifetime and the fatigue lifetime reaches its minimum value at R = 0.3. At R ranging from 0.4 to 1, creep damage dominates the fatigue lifetime and the fatigue lifetime exhibits inverse proportional relation with R. Meanwhile, with the increase of stress ratio, the fatigue crack initiation sites transform from lamellar interface at R = 0.1, to lamellar interface and colony boundary at R = 0.3, and to lamellar colony boundary at R = 0.5. Accordingly, the fatigue fracture mode transforms from transgranular cracking, to transgranular and intergranular cracking, and to intergranular cracking.  相似文献

Confined crack tip plasticity model is employed to predict time independent fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) behavior of HAYNES® 282® alloy at temperatures 1200F and 1400F. Crack growth tests were done in lab air, vacuum and steam environments at load ratios R = Kmin/Kmax ranging from 0.05 to 0.5. Calibrated model predicts average cyclic crack growth rate behavior of the material reasonably well. Predictions do not capture the accelerated fatigue crack growth rates observed in the data at low load levels. Such effects are believed to be caused by environmentally driven factors, which are not expected to be predicted by plasticity based models.  相似文献

Crack growth behavior of aluminum alloy 7075-T6 was investigated under in-plane biaxial tension–tension fatigue with stress ratio of 0.5. Two biaxiality ratios, λ (=1 and 1.5) were used. Cruciform specimens with a center hole, having a notch at 45° to the specimen’s arms, were tested in a biaxial fatigue test machine. Crack initiated and propagated coplanar with the notch for λ = 1 in LT orientation, while it was non-coplanar for λ = 1.5 between LT and TL orientations. Uniaxial fatigue crack growth tests in LT and TL orientations were also conducted. Crack growth rate in region II was practically the same for biaxial fatigue with λ = 1 in LT orientation and for the uniaxial fatigue in LT or TL orientations, while it was faster for biaxial fatigue with λ = 1.5 at a given crack driving force. However, fatigue damage mechanisms were quite different in each case. In region I, crack driving force at a given crack growth rate was smallest for biaxial fatigue with λ = 1.5 and for uniaxial fatigue in TL orientation, followed by biaxial fatigue with λ = 1 and uniaxial fatigue in LT orientation in ascending order at a given crack growth rate.  相似文献

The paper is focused on an identification of the local mode II mechanism of fatigue cracks loaded under the remote mode III and the mixed mode II + III and presents a convincing experimental evidence of such a mechanism in materials with a nearly coplanar crack growth. Closure-free data were obtained by applying fatigue experiments in modes II, III and II + III in commercially pure titanium and niobium. The results revealed that the micromechanism of propagation of all kinds of shear-mode cracks can be described by a common model of advances of local mode II crack segments nearly in the direction of applied shear stress. These segments nucleated at spatial geometrical irregularities of the precrack front generating fibrous patterns at fracture surfaces.  相似文献

Four cracked longerons, containing a total of eight cracks, were provided for study. Cracked regions were cut from the longerons. Load was applied to open the cracks, enabling crack surface examination. Examination revealed that crack propagation was driven by fatigue loading in all eight cases. Fatigue crack initiation appears to have occurred on the top edge of the longerons near geometric changes that affect component bending stiffness. Additionally, metallurgical analysis has revealed a local depletion in alloying elements in the crack initiation regions that may be a contributing factor. Fatigue crack propagation appeared to be initially driven by opening-mode loading, but at a crack length of approximately 0.5 in. (12.7 mm), there is evidence of mixed-mode crack loading. For the longest cracks studied, shear-mode displacements destroyed crack-surface features of interest over significant portions of the crack surfaces.  相似文献

Alloy 617 is the leading candidate material for an Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX) of the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). To evaluate the behavior of this material in the expected service conditions, strain-controlled cyclic tests that include hold times up to 9000 s at maximum tensile strain were conducted at 950 °C. The fatigue resistance decreased when a hold time was added at peak tensile strain, owing to the mechanisms resulting in a change in fracture mode from transgranular in pure fatigue to intergranular in creep–fatigue. Increases in the tensile hold duration beyond an initial value were not detrimental to the creep–fatigue resistance. An analysis of the evolving failure modes was facilitated by interrupting tests during cycling for ex situ microstructural investigation.  相似文献

Ductile iron discovery in 1948 gave a new lease on life to the cast iron family. In fact, these cast irons are characterized both by a high castability and by high toughness values, combining cast irons and steel good properties. Ductile cast irons are also characterized by high fatigue crack propagation resistance, although this property is still not widely investigated.In the present work, three different ferritic–pearlitic ductile cast irons, characterized by different ferrite/pearlite volume fractions, and an austempered ductile cast iron were considered. Their fatigue crack propagation resistance was investigated in air by means of fatigue crack propagation tests according to ASTM E647 standard, considering three different stress ratios (R = Kmin/Kmax = 0.1; 0.5; 0.75). Crack paths were investigated by means of a crack path profile analysis performed with an optical microscope. Crack surfaces were extensively analysed by means of a scanning electron microscope both considering a traditional procedure and performing a quantitative analysis of 3D reconstructed surfaces, mainly focusing graphite nodules debonding.  相似文献

Thermal fatigue cracks can often be found on the friction surface of brake discs used in railway vehicles after a period of usage and include crackle, radial and circumferential patterns. These cracks typically exhibit different initiation and propagation behavior under different braking conditions. In this paper, the effect of braking energy on fatigue crack evolution is analyzed by using experimental testing and numerical simulations. Macro observations show that a significant number of radial cracks appear on the surface of brake discs which operate at 300 km/h, while crackles typically appear after repeated emergency braking (EB) at 200 km/h. No crack growth was observed on disc surfaces after routine braking. The cyclic load that leads to the fatigue crack propagation consists of compressive stress during braking and residual tensile stress after cooling. Simulation results show that the depth of cracks correlates well with the residual tensile stress distribution in brake discs. Breaking tests exposed that the fracture surface of fatigue cracks which were covered by oxides shows nearly elliptic-type. Higher braking energy leads to a hardened layer on the friction surface and oxide generation near the crack edges, which are also important factors that contribute to accelerating crack propagation.  相似文献
