镍基单晶合金非对称循环载荷低周疲劳实验研究与寿命预测

对三种不同晶体取向的DD3单晶合金试样在680℃温度下进行非对称循低周疲劳试验,表明晶体取向对疲劳寿命有显著影响.用取向函数修正总应变范围可在很大程度上消除晶体取向对疲劳寿命的影响,引入参量k表示非对称循环载荷对疲劳寿命的影响,它与循环寿命之间呈幂函数关系.根据影响单晶合金低周疲劳寿命的主要因素,提出由总应变范围、取向函数和参量k构成循环塑性应变能的计算方法。用塑性应变能作为损伤参量导出单晶合金低周疲劳寿命预测模型,利用DD3单晶合金低周疲劳试验数据进行验证,光滑试样和缺口试样试验数据分别落在2.6倍和2倍的偏差分布带内.     

Q235钢缺口试样拉压低循环疲劳的实验研究

以Q235钢制U型缺口板试样为研究对象,用有限元方法计算其缺口根部等效应变幅对应的试样标距段位移,以此控制试验机进行拉压循环疲劳试验。然后用局部应力应变法对试验测得的寿命结果进行分析。结果表明：无论用有限元还是修正Neuber公式计算缺口根部的应力应变,局部应力应变法的疲劳寿命评估只适用于缺口半径较大的试样;对缺口半径较小试样的估计寿命明显低于实测值,且有限元法比修正Neuber法更保守。进而又对试样缺口区域应变梯度的影响进行了探讨：参照有限元计算的应变梯度,利用Taylor模型估算了缺口根部的屈服应力和流动应力;在此基础上重新计算应变分布并估计试样的疲劳寿命,结果证实考虑应变梯度影响可改善缺口试样的疲劳寿命估计。     

考虑应力集中的镍基单晶合金低周疲劳公式

对不同取向、带应力集中状态下镍基单晶合金构件的低周疲劳寿命进行了研究.在理论应力集中系数和载荷比确定的前提下,只要确定了缺口根部的剪应力范围,在不考虑分散性的情况下,缺口试棒的寿命是确定的.而此时,光滑试棒也一定存在某一个应力水平,在该应力水平下光滑试棒与缺口试棒的寿命相等;这时等寿命的光滑试棒与缺口试棒的最大剪应力范围之间存在一定的关系.根据这种关系,本文建立了剪应力范围的修正系数法,其与试验所得到的不同取向缺口试棒的低周疲劳寿命之间的最大偏差倍数为3.45,而直接采用光滑试棒剪应力范围寿命公式与实验寿命之间的最大偏差倍数为1681倍.结果表明,采用剪应力范围修正系数法预测不同取向的缺口试棒低周疲劳寿命具有较高的精度.

缺口件疲劳寿命分布预测的有效应力法

本文提出了一种由光滑件疲劳寿命试验数据预测缺口件疲劳寿命分布的有效应力法。该方法中缺口件的裂纹可能萌生表面被分解成一个个微元,整个表面可看成是这些微元组成的一个串联模型,按照串联概率失效模型,缺口件的疲劳强度失效概率就可以由各微元的疲劳强度失效概率计算得到,其中微元的疲劳强度失效概率是由光滑件的疲劳强度失效概率通过最弱环节理论计算得到的。在缺口件的疲劳强度失效概率表达式中,引入了有效应力的概念,用它查取光滑件的疲劳寿命试验数据就可以直接得到缺口件的疲劳寿命分布。该方法可以同时考虑到应力梯度和试件尺寸对缺口件疲劳寿命分布的影响。进行了材料LY12CZ的带中心孔缺口件的寿命算例分析,预测结果和试验结果吻合良好,表明该方法是有效的。     

TC25钛合金低周疲劳特性与断口分析

对TC25钛合金进行不同应力幅值下的低周疲劳试验,测试钛合金的低周疲劳寿命.在分析钛合金的低周疲劳应力应变迟滞回线的基础上,利用试验特性和应力应变本构关系,推导简化的Manson-Coffin公式,获取钛合金的应力-寿命曲线.最后,应用SEM对钛合金试样断口进行形貌观测,分析低周疲劳的断裂机理.结果表明,TC25钛合金的低周疲劳塑性变形,主要产生在加速断裂阶段.钛合金试样断面存在多处剪切唇,瞬时断裂由剪应力主导.钛合金的低周疲劳断裂以解理形核形成疲劳源,裂纹扩展存在多种模式,瞬断为准脆性断裂.

一种疲劳缺口系数计算新方法

针对Mod.9Cr-1Mo铁素体钢锐缺口件进行了一系列非比例载荷低周疲劳试验,采用直流电位差法测量裂纹萌生寿命,比较了非比例路径对疲劳裂纹萌生寿命的影响。结果表明:缺口件裂纹萌生寿命占总寿命的比例与非比例路径直接相关;随着非比例度增加,裂纹萌生寿命所占比例增加。采用Neuber律和Peterson模型进行缺口局部应力应变损伤的计算,结合Smith-WatsonTopper(SWT)模型进行疲劳寿命预测。采用Neuber律并结合SWT模型预测的结果与实际结果相比普遍偏低,采用Peterson模型预测的结果与实际结果相比偏高,与本文结果相比预测结果较高。基于应变路径非比例度的概念,针对Peterson模型进行修正,提出了一种新的疲劳缺口系数计算方法,结合SWT模型进行了疲劳寿命预测。结果表明,该方法改善了非比例路径下的疲劳寿命预测结果,大部分预测结果位于2倍分散带内。

Models of multiaxial fatigue fracture and service life estimation of structural elements

We study criteria and models of multiaxial fracture under the conditions of low-cycle fatigue (LCF). The model parameters are determined by using the data of uniaxial fatigue tests for different coefficients of the cycle asymmetry. A procedure for calculating the stress state of the compressor disk in a gas turbine engine (GTE) in the flight cycle of loading is outlined. The calculated stress state and models of multiaxial fatigue fracture are used to estimate the service life of the compressor disk. The results are compared with the observational data collected during the operation.     

An investigation about interference fit effect on improving fatigue life of a holed single plate in joints

In this article, the effect of interference fit on fatigue life of holed plate of mechanical joints was investigated both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental part, fatigue tests were carried out on the holed specimens of Al 7075-T6 alloy in which oversized steel pins were force fitted to them. These fatigue tests were conducted on open hole specimen and specimens with 1, 1.5, 2 and 4% nominal interference fit sizes at different cyclic longitudinal loads. From these tests the stress-life (S–N) data for different interference fit sizes were obtained. The results show that interference fit increases fatigue life compared to open hole specimens. In the numerical part of the investigation, 3D finite element simulations have been performed to obtain stress (or strain) histories and distributions around the hole due to interference fit and subsequent cyclic longitudinal loading using FEM package. The stress history from finite element (FE) simulation was used to explain the reason for fatigue life improvement in the interference fitted specimens.     

氧化腐蚀对HRB400EⅢ级建筑抗震钢筋低周疲劳性能的影响

Reducing the effects of rivet holes on fatigue life by adhesive bonding

Rivet holes are potential sites for fatigue crack initiation in aircraft structures. Several methods for improving the life of such details were investigated including coating the surface of the hole with adhesive, cold-expansion of the holes, the insertion of close-fit rivets and the use of adhesively-bonded rivets. Of the various techniques examined, only that involving adhesively-bonded rivets provided any significant improvements in fatigue life. It resulted in a reduction in fatigue crack propagation rate of about 50% compared with that for specimens incorporating open holes.A finite element analysis indicated that adhesive bonding significantly reduces both the local stress concentration at the hole and the stress intensities at the crack tips, thus retarding crack initiation and reducing fatigue crack propagation rates. However, the effective reduction in stress intensity resulting from bonding (about 17%) is much less than the 50% predicted by the finite element analysis. This discrepancy is attributed mainly to shortcomings in the model for defining the characteristics and behaviour of the adhesive.     

A NEW CYCLIC J-INTEGRAL FOR LOW-CYCLE FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH

The constitutive equation under the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) was discussed, and a two-dimensional (2-D) model for simulating fatigue crack extension was put forward in order to propose a new cyclic J-integral. The definition, primary characteristics, physical interpretations and numerical evaluation of the new parameter were investigated in detail. Moreover, the new cyclic J-integral for LCF behaviors was validated by the compact tension (CT) specimens. Results show that the calculated values of the new parameter can correlate well with LCF crack growth rate, during constant-amplitude loading. In addition, the phenomenon of fatigue retardation was explained through the viewpoint of energy based on the concept of the new parameter.     

Uniaxial ratcheting and fatigue failure of tempered 42CrMo steel: Damage evolution and damage-coupled visco-plastic constitutive model

Uniaxial ratcheting and fatigue failure of tempered 42CrMo steel were observed by the tests under the uniaxial stress-controlled cyclic loading with non-zero mean stress [G.Z. Kang, Y.J. Liu, Mater. Sci. Eng. A 472 (2008) 258–268]. Based on the obtained experimental results, the evolution features of whole-life ratcheting behavior and low-cycle fatigue (LCF) damage of the material were discussed first. Then, in the framework of unified visco-plasticity and continuum damage mechanics, a damage-coupled visco-plastic cyclic constitutive model was proposed to simulate the whole-life ratcheting and predict the fatigue failure life of the material presented in the uniaxial stress cycling with non-zero mean stress. In the proposed model, the damage was divided into two parts, i.e., elastic damage and plastic damage, which were described by the evolution equations with the same form but different constants, since the maximum applied stresses in most of loading cases were lower than the nominal yielding strength of the material. The ratcheting of the material was still described by employing a nonlinear kinematic hardening rule based on the Abdel-Karim–Ohno combined kinematic hardening model [M. Abdel Karim, N. Ohno, Int. J. Plast. 16 (2000) 225–240] but extended by considering the effect of damage. The maximum strain criterion combined with an elastic damage threshold was employed to determine the failure life of the material caused by two different failure modes, i.e., fatigue failure (caused by low-cycle fatigue due to plastic shakedown) and ductile failure (caused by large ratcheting strain). The simulated whole-life ratcheting behavior and predicted failure life of tempered 42CrMo steel are in a fairly good agreement with the experimental ones.

A NEW DAMAGE MECHANICS BASED APPROACH TO FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTION AND ITS ENGINEERING APPLICATION

An approach based on continuum damage mechanics to fatigue life prediction for structures is proposed. A new fatigue damage evolution equation is developed, in which the parameters are obtained in a simple way with reference to the experimental results of fatigue tests on standard specimens. With the utilization of APDL language on the ANSYS platform, a finite element implementation is presented to perform coupling operation on damage evolution of material and stress redistribution. The fatigue lives of some notched specimens and a Pitch-change-link are predicted by using the above approach. The calculated results are validated with experimental data.
