CTS试件中复合型疲劳裂纹扩展

针对复合型循环载荷作用下的金属构件中的裂纹扩展问题进行了实验分析和理论建模. 首先 采用紧凑拉剪试件(CTS)和 Richard研制的复合型载荷加载装置，对承受复合型循环载荷的裂纹进行了实验研究. 实验选择了两种金属材料试件，分别承受3种形式的复合型循环载荷的作用，在裂纹尖端具 有相同的初始应力场强度的条件下考察复合型循环载荷对裂纹扩展规律的影响. 实验结果表明，疲劳裂纹的扩展速率与加载角度有关. 对于同样金属材料的试件，当裂尖处 初始应力场强度相等时，载荷越接近于II型，裂纹增长速率越快. 采用等效应力强度 因子(I型和II型应力强度因子的组合)、裂纹扩展速率及复合强度等参数，以实验数据为 基础，建立了一个疲劳裂纹扩展模型，用来预测裂纹在不同模式疲劳载荷作用下的扩展速率. 为验证其有效性，该模型被应用于钢制试件的数值模拟计算中. 实验结果与模拟计算曲线保 持一致，表明该模型可以用来估算带裂纹金属构件的寿命.

Fatigue crack shapes development of plate-to-plate welded joints

This paper presents crack shapes development of 3D surface semielliptical cracks which are always found at the weld toe of non-load-carrying cruciform welded joints. The alternating current potential drop technique has been used to measure the eight crack depths along the weld toe where probes are placed at 10-mm intervals. 3D crack shapes can be obtained at any particular cycle during the fatigue test. Subregion boundary element methods incorporating the transition and quarter-point elements along the crack front are used to validate the experimental stress intensity factors along the crack front. A method for evaluating the effective stress intensity factors is proposed. It is found that the numerical results generally agree with the experimental results.

降载勾线法在高强钢疲劳断裂试验中的应用

制作高强钢特征试件,在压、弯应力共同作用下进行疲劳断裂试验;结合疲劳辉纹产生机理,采用降载勾线法在试件断面制造出“海滩状花纹”;利用CAD软件描绘断面形貌并测量裂纹长度,用Newman-Raju理论进一步研究表面裂纹扩展的规律,并与试验值比较.结果表明降载勾线法可以解决高强度钢表面裂纹不易测量及断面难以观测到疲劳辉纹的问题;采用Newman-Raju公式模拟压弯组合应力下表面裂纹扩展形貌是合适的,但由此计算的疲劳寿命偏于保守.另外,当压弯应力比值较小时,计算扩展形貌时压应力可以忽略,而计算疲劳寿命时压应力不可忽略.

Fatigue crack growth analysis of adhesively repaired panel using perfectly and imperfectly composite patches

Fatigue crack behavior of cracked aluminum panel repaired with the imperfectly bonded composite patch is analyzed. The imperfection is in the form of debond which could result during the bonding of patch or the service life of the repaired structure. Debonds, of various sizes and at different locations with respect to the crack front, are investigated. An analytical procedure, involving two-dimensional finite element method having three layers to model cracked plate, adhesive and composite patch, is used to compute the stress intensity factors of test coupons. From the computed stress intensity factors, the crack growth rates are obtained analytically by assuming that the relationship between the stress intensity factor and the crack growth rate after repair is the same as the fatigue crack growth relationship for cracked panel material. The fatigue crack growth rates obtained experimentally and analytically are in good agreement with each other and they vary linearly with crack length inside the patch. The experimental results are bounded between its analytical counterparts at the mid-plane and free edge surfaces of the cracked panel. The present analytical procedure can, thus, be used to characterize the effects of imperfectly and perfectly bonded composite patch repairs on the durability and damage tolerance of the repaired structure.     

Intergranular strain evolution near fatigue crack tips in polycrystalline metals

The deformation field near a steady fatigue crack includes a plastic zone in front of the crack tip and a plastic wake behind it, and the magnitude, distribution, and history of the residual strain along the crack path depend on the stress multiaxiality, material properties, and history of stress intensity factor and crack growth rate. An in situ, full-field, non-destructive measurement of lattice strain (which relies on the intergranular interactions of the inhomogeneous deformation fields in neighboring grains) by neutron diffraction techniques has been performed for the fatigue test of a Ni-based superalloy compact tension specimen. These microscopic grain level measurements provided unprecedented information on the fatigue growth mechanisms. A two-scale model is developed to predict the lattice strain evolution near fatigue crack tips in polycrystalline materials. An irreversible, hysteretic cohesive interface model is adopted to simulate a steady fatigue crack, which allows us to generate the stress/strain distribution and history near the fatigue crack tip. The continuum deformation history is used as inputs for the micromechanical analysis of lattice strain evolution using the slip-based crystal plasticity model, thus making a mechanistic connection between macro- and micro-strains. Predictions from perfect grain-boundary simulations exhibit the same lattice strain distributions as in neutron diffraction measurements, except for discrepancies near the crack tip within about one-tenth of the plastic zone size. By considering the intergranular damage, which leads to vanishing intergranular strains as damage proceeds, we find a significantly improved agreement between predicted and measured lattice strains inside the fatigue process zone. Consequently, the intergranular damage near fatigue crack tip is concluded to be responsible for fatigue crack growth.     

A two-parameter model to predict fatigue life of high-strength steels in a very high cycle fatigue regime

In this paper, ultrasonic(20 kHz) fatigue tests were performed on specimens of a high-strength steel in very high cycle fatigue(VHCF) regime. Experimental results showed that for most tested specimens failed in a VHCF regime, a fatigue crack originated from the interior of specimen with a fish-eye pattern, which contained a fine granular area(FGA) centered by an inclusion as the crack origin. Then,a two-parameter model is proposed to predict the fatigue life of high-strength steels with fish-eye mode failure in a VHCF regime, which takes into account the inclusion size and the FGA size. The model was verified by the data of present experiments and those in the literature. Furthermore, an analytic formula was obtained for estimating the equivalent crack growth rate within the FGA. The results also indicated that the stress intensity factor range at the front of the FGA varies within a small range, which is irrespective of stress amplitude and fatigue life.

The deformation of the front of a 3D interface crack propagating quasistatically in a medium with random fracture properties

One studies the evolution in time of the deformation of the front of a semi-infinite 3D interface crack propagating quasistatically in an infinite heterogeneous elastic body. The fracture properties are assumed to be lower on the interface than in the materials so that crack propagation is channelled along the interface, and to vary randomly within the crack plane. The work is based on earlier formulae which provide the first-order change of the stress intensity factors along the front of a semi-infinite interface crack arising from some small but otherwise arbitrary in-plane perturbation of this front. The main object of study is the long-time behavior of various statistical measures of the deformation of the crack front. Special attention is paid to the influences of the mismatch of elastic properties, the type of propagation law (fatigue or brittle fracture) and the stable or unstable character of 2D crack propagation (depending on the loading) upon the development of this deformation.     

三点弯曲试样动态应力强度因子计算研究

利用Hopkinson压杆对三点弯曲试样进行冲击加载,采集了垂直裂纹面距裂尖2mm和与裂纹面成60°距裂尖5mm处的应变信号。根据裂尖附近测试的应变信号计算试样的动态应力强度因子,并与有限元计算结果进行比较,结果表明由于裂尖有一段疲劳裂纹区,通过裂尖附近应变信号来计算动态应力强度因子时,如果裂尖位置确定不准及粘贴应变片位置不够准确对计算结果将带来很大影响。因此利用应变片法计算动态应力强度因子时,为了获得更准确的计算结果,在实验后应对试件裂纹面进行分析测量,重新确定裂尖位置,必要时需对应变片至裂尖距离进行修正后再计算动态应力强度因子值。     

Fatigue life prediction of out-of-plane gusset welded joints using strain energy density factor approach

Fatigue growth behavior of out-of-plane gusset welded joints is studied using the strain energy density factor approach. Fatigue tests on two types of specimens with curvatures of ρ = 0 and ρ = 30 were performed in order to estimate fatigue strength under tension. Fatigue crack growth analysis is carried out to show the effects of initial crack shape, initial crack length and stress ratio. Fatigue crack growth parameters were obtained from crack growth curves assuming constant crack shapes. The results of analysis for the assumed crack shapes agreed well with the experimental data. Fatigue propagation life of the ρ = 30 specimen was larger than that of the ρ = 0 specimen.
