Fatigue strength of structural materials at sonic and ultrasonic loading frequencies

Experimental data on the influence of sonic and ultrasonic frequency loading on the fatigue strength of steels, and titanium, aluminium, and nickel-based alloys tested with longitudinal and transverse vibrations at room temperatures are discussed. Results of fatigue tests in liquid nitrogen at low (16 Hz) and high (3 kHz) loading frequencies are also given for a number of materials. The influence of the loading-cycle asymmetry on fatigue strength is studied for structural materials tested at 10 kHz frequency loading with a mean tensile and compressive stress. Limiting amplitude curves are plotted. Measurements of the energy dissipation in materials were carried out during fatigue tests with symmetrical and asymmetrical loading cycles at high-frequency with large amplitude longitudinal vibrations of the specimen. Measurements of the amplitude dependency of the energy dissipation and dependency of the energy dissipation obtained during continuous loading by fatigue tests were also made.     

On-line detection of fatigue cracks using an automatic mode tracking technique

Experimental fatigue tests usually require large testing times. In addition to the resulting increased time-to-market, the large fatigue test time also implies that any structural health monitoring technique that is used should be automatic. When using the modal parameters as damage indicators, an important amount of user interaction is still needed to separate physical poles from computational ones. In this paper, an experimental framework will be developed to automatically track the health of the structure on-line with the performance of fatigue tests. The modal parameters are tracked using a combination of the maximum likelihood estimator and an auto-regressive model. Since confidence levels on the modal parameter are available it is possible to detect if damage is present. In addition, the quasi-static stiffness with computed confidence levels is also used as a damage indicator. The proposed techniques are demonstrated on a steel beam with a propagating fatigue crack.     

Integrated peak spectral intensity for in situ crack detection

This paper presents an integrated peak spectral intensity method for in situ detection of a fatigue crack in a metallic material. The method employs a laser beam to illuminate the notch root of a central slot machined on test specimens. The diffracted images are digitized, recorded and processed on a personal computer. Subsequent image processing and analysis yield information from which fatigue crack initiation on the specimen is determined. The technique is applied to aluminium alloy specimens subjected to a cyclic tensile load with a constant stress amplitude. Unlike previous techniques, the present technique enables recording of speckle images and the subsequent detection of fatigue crack initiation without the necessity of unloading the test specimen from the testing machine.     

The just audible tonality of short exponential and Gaussian pure tone bursts

This paper reports on listening tests performed to investigate the just audible tonality (JAT) of decaying pure tone bursts. Both exponential and Gaussian functions are used to shape the envelopes of the tone bursts and critical band center frequencies between 150 and 7000 Hz are studied. Loudness compensation is implemented to compensate for the reduced loudness of short tone bursts and attack functions are used for minimizing clicks. By using the method of limits, a sequence of tone bursts with increasing decay times and constant frequencies is presented to the listeners at 0.9 s intervals. The first burst in the sequence which is perceived as being tonal is indicated by the listeners. When that happens, the decay times of the tone bursts decrease and the listeners are asked to select the first tone burst with no audible tonality. The listeners are allowed to freely define tonality. No reference is given. For frequencies above 3.4 kHz, the results indicate that tonality is just audible for tone burst lengths of approximately 2.6-3.0 ms. For the lowest stimuli frequencies, the corresponding burst length is approximately 20-23 ms.     

Nonlinear ultrasonic imaging method for closed cracks using subtraction of responses at different external loads

To improve the selectivity of closed cracks for objects other than cracks in ultrasonic imaging, we propose an extension of a novel imaging method, namely, subharmonic phased array for crack evaluation (SPACE) as well as another approach using the subtraction of responses at different external loads. By applying external static or dynamic loads to closed cracks, the contact state in the cracks varies, resulting in an intensity change of responses at cracks. In contrast, objects other than cracks are independent of external load. Therefore, only cracks can be extracted by subtracting responses at different loads. In this study, we performed fundamental experiments on a closed fatigue crack formed in an aluminum alloy compact tension (CT) specimen using the proposed method. We examined the static load dependence of SPACE images and the dynamic load dependence of linear phased array (PA) images by simulating the external loads with a servohydraulic fatigue testing machine. By subtracting the images at different external loads, we show that this method is useful in extracting only the intensity change of responses related to closed cracks, while canceling the responses of objects other than cracks.     

基于激光多普勒技术扭振测量的研究

Frequency selectivity in loudness adaptation and auditory fatigue

An intermittent monaural tone may induce a decline in the loudness of a continuous tone presented to the same ear [Canévet et al., Br. J. Audiol. 17, 49-57 (1983)]. Two experiments studied the frequency selectivity of loudness adaptation induced in this manner. The method of successive magnitude estimations was used to measure the loudness of a monaural 84-s test tone before and after a single presentation of a 24-s inducer tone in the same ear. The first experiment shows that, for an inducing tone (500, 1000, or 3000 Hz) approximately 15 dB more intense than a test tone set to one of 21 different frequencies, adaptation is greatest when the two tones have the same frequency; with increasing difference between the test-tone and inducer frequencies, adaptation progressively declines. The second experiment measured frequency selectivity in the loudness reduction caused by a 1000-Hz inducer as a function of its level. As inducer level went from 75 to 95 dB (with test tone constant at 60 phons), selectivity passes progressively from the type seen in short-term or low-level fatigue (maximal for the 1000-Hz test tone) to a type seen in long-term or high-level fatigue (maximal for the 1000-Hz test tone) to a type seen in long-term or high-level fatigue (maximal at frequencies higher than that of the inducer or fatiguing tone). A common cochlear origin and a continuity between the mechanisms of ipsilaterally induced adaptation and high-level fatigue are suggested by the data.     

Some recent results on the fatigue strength of notched specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9 steel at room and high temperature

The work summarizes a large bulk of experimental data from specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9 steel. The first part of the paper deals with multiaxial fatigue strength of notched round bars tested under combined tension and torsion loading, both in-phase and out-of-phase. The results from multi-axial tests are discussed together with those obtained under pure tension and pure torsion loading from notched specimens with the same geometry. The second part of the paper summarizes data from uniaxial-tension stress-controlled fatigue tests on specimens made of the same steel. Tests are performed varying temperature, from room temperature up to 650°C. Altogether more than 180 new fatigue data are summarised in the present work, corresponding to more than two-years of testing programme. All fatigue data are presented first in terms of nominal stress amplitudes referred to the net area and then re-analysed in terms of the mean value of the strain energy density evaluated over a given, crescent shape volume embracing the stress concentration region. For the specific steel, the radius of the control volume is found to be independent of the loading mode.

Sidewall-insert compound based on ZnO-treated aramid pulp fibers for run-flat tires

Abstract

To improve the endurance performance of run-flat tires by preventing the sidewall from folding at zero air pressure, a master batch of natural rubber and ZnO-treated aramid pulp (AP) is applied to the rubber sidewall-insert-layer compound. The mechanical, viscoelastic, and fatigue properties of the compounds are investigated by varying the AP content, and the endurance performance of actual run-flat tires is assessed. The results indicate that the mechanical properties are improved and the hysteresis is reduced as the AP content increased. The overall trend of the endurance times of the run-flat tires is consistent with the results of the DeMattia tests, constant-strain fatigue tests, and high-temperature tensile tests. The run-flat endurance time of the tire containing one part per hundred rubber (phr) of AP is superior to that of the tire containing 3 phr of AP because of the enhanced dispersion of the AP fibers.     

VIBRATION-BASED DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION USING RECONSTRUCTED FRFS IN COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

This work aims to establish a vibration-based damage identification method for fiber-reinforced laminated composites and their sandwich construction. This new on-line structural damage identification technique uses the structural dynamic system reconstruction method exploiting the frequency response functions (FRFs) of a damaged structure. To verify the effectiveness of this damage identification method, the frequency responses obtained by vibration testing of fatigue-damaged laminated composites and honeycomb sandwich beams with debonding are examined according to the extent of the damage via the fatigue-damage load cycle for laminated composites, and via the debonding extent for honeycomb sandwich beams. The changes of the peaks and valley of the FRFs according to the debonding extent and the fatigue load cycles are examined, and the area changes in the FRFs are also discussed as the damage index. The residual FRFs or the difference between intact and damaged FRFs are newly defined for application of the on-line damage identification method. Finally, the delamination extent for the sandwich beams and the fatigue damage level for the laminated composites can be easily identified in terms of the changes in natural frequencies and damping ratios of the reconstructed FRFs for these damaged composite structures.

High cycle fatigue and fracture behaviour of a hot isostatically pressed nickel-based superalloy

Powder of a nickel-based superalloy, RR1000, has been hot isostatically pressed (HIPped) at a supersolvus temperature and post-HIP heat treated to produce different microstructures. Microstructures were investigated using a scanning electron microscope together with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and a wave-length dispersive X-ray spectrometer. High cycle four-point bending fatigue and tension–tension fatigue tests have been performed on the fabricated samples. It was found that HIPped and aged samples showed the best four-point bending fatigue limit while HIPped and solution-treated and aged samples had the lowest fatigue limit. The four-point bending fatigue crack initiations all occurred from the sample surfaces either at the sites of inclusion clusters or by cleavage through large grains on the surfaces. The tension–tension fatigue crack initiation occurred mainly due to large hafnia inclusion clusters, with lower fatigue lives for samples where inclusions were closer to the surface. Crack initiation at the compact Al₂O₃ inclusion cluster led to a much higher fatigue life than found when cracks were initiated by large hafnia inclusion clusters. The tension–tension fatigue limits were shown to decrease with increased testing temperature (from room temperature to 700?°C).     

Protective structures on the surface of zirconium components of light water reactor cores: Formation,testing, and prototype equipment

The results of tests of plasma treatment of zirconium and deposition of protective yttrium coatings used as the methods of protection of zirconium components of light water reactor cores against hydrogenation are detailed. The amount of hydrogen in the treated sample exposed to superheated steam for 2500 h at temperature T = 400°C and pressure p = 1 atm was five times lower than the corresponding value for the untreated one. The amount of hydrogen in the sample coated with yttrium remained almost unchanged in 4000 h of exposure. A plasma method for rapid testing for hydrogen resistance is proposed. The hydrogenation rate provided by this method is 700 times higher than that in tests with superheated steam. The results of preliminary experiments confirm the possibility of constructing a unit for batch processing of the surfaces of fuel rod claddings.

Improved frequency resolution from transient tests with short record lengths

A method is described for improving the accuracy of the natural frequencies obtained from the Fourier transform of the structural response to an impulse. Results are presented from tests in which the input was at a single frequency and from impulse tests on an aluminium plate. It is shown to be possible to obtain frequency resolution of one-tenth of the spacing between the frequency points produced by the Fourier transform, at a low cost in terms of computer time and store. The natural frequencies of the aluminium plate obtained by this method are also compared with those measured when using steady state excitation. Excellent agreement is shown between the results obtained by using the two techniques.     

The comparative study of thermal fatigue behavior of laser deep penetration spot cladding coating and brush plating Ni-W-Co coating

For improving the thermal fatigue behavior of hot work die steel in engineering application, the present work compare the influence of thermal fatigue resistance by the two different surface modified processes, the laser deep penetration spot cladding (LDPSC) and brush plating on the Cr12MoNi hot rolling tool steel. The thermal fatigue tests were fulfilled by heating and quenching in water at a cycle period of 2 min. Before and after thermal fatigue testing, the microhardness distribution profile and microstructure of LDPSC have been investigated. The results show that the LDPSC can be divided to three zones: cladding zone, alloying zone and heat affected zone. The major phases in cladding zone consist of Fe₃C, Cr₇C₃, Cr₂₃C₆ and martensite. The oxidation resistance and thermal stability of brush plating Ni-W-Co coating and reference materials has been determined. The results of thermal fatigue testing show that LDPSC and brush plating Ni-W-Co coating can improve thermal fatigue resistance as compared to the reference material. The brush plating Ni-W-Co coating is more effective than the former owing to its higher thermal stability, oxidation resistance, superfine grain, high-density dislocation in microstructure and combination of strength and ductility.
