Application of stochastic filtering for lifetime prediction

This paper introduces a stochastic filtering modeling approach for predicting the remaining lifetime of a component based on information on the stochastic degradation process and uncertain condition monitoring measurements. The model is illustrated by a case study, where the degradation is assumed to be a simplified fatigue crack growth process. The model accounts for uncertainties in both degradation process and condition measurements in a sound way. If completed with information on costs of monitoring, failure and replacement, such model could be used in optimizing both the condition monitoring intervals and, e.g. the replacement time for the component.     

INITIAL FRACTURE MECHANISMS IN NICKEL ALLOYED PM STEEL

Abstract— Initial fatigue crack propagation mechanisms at near threshold conditions were studied for four nickel-alloyed, powder-metallurgy (PM) steels. Fatigue fracture surfaces were obtained by testing smooth rectangular specimens at 30 Hz and under constant amplitude and zero mean stress conditions. Materials based on Distaloy AE were used in two densities, namely 7.15 and 7.45 g/cm³.
All the fracture surfaces were composed of three morphological regions (i) a macrocrack initiation region Rl where cracks propagated preferentially through particles (ii) a macrocrack growth region R2 and (iii) an unstable crack growth region R3 where cracks propagated preferentially between particles. Initial fatigue crack growth, in region R1, was controlled by the propagation of short cracks whose dimensions were comparable to the material microstructure. The subsequent fatigue crack growth in regions R2 and R3 was controlled by ductile rupture between microvoids. Transparticle fracture in region R1 was independent of pore distribution, while interparticle fracture in regions R2 and R3 was dependent on pore distribution.

Fracture mechanics global approach concepts applied to creep slow crack growth in a medium density polyethylene (MDPE)

Creep fracture by slow crack growth is studied in a medium density polyethylene at 60 °C and 80 °C. Whereas elastic-plastic fracture mechanics load parameters fail to provide a unique temperature-independent correlation, that of the fracture mechanics for creeping solids C^∗ is proved to be relevant since this parameter correlates very well with the time to failure. Correlation established on both full notched creep tensile and double edge notched tensile tests was validated on cracked gas-pipe samples tested under hydrostatic pressure, extending the use of time to failure versus C^∗ diagram to predict lifetime of engineering components.
