The strength, fatigue life and fracture behavior of the oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel-base superalloy PM 3030 are investigated. The high Al content in PM 3030 leads to the formation of coherent γ′ particles and, thus, to additional precipitation strengthening. A coarse and elongated grain structure (R34) and two isotropic batches with mean grain sizes of 1 μm (R90) and 17 μm (R901315) are considered. Compressive constant strain rate tests and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests are performed. Optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (OM, SEM and TEM) are carried out. The properties are compared with those of the solely oxide dispersion strengthened Ni-base alloy PM 1000 [Estrin, Y., Heilmaier, M., Drew, G., 1999. Creep properties of an oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-base alloy: the effect of grain orientation and grain aspect ratio. Mater. Sci. Eng. A 272(1), 163–173]. It is found that additional γ′ hardening provides an increase in quasi-static strength by about a factor 2 and in HCF life by about a factor 102–103 at temperatures up to 850 °C. When fatigue life is compared at a fixed ratio of stress amplitude-to-yield or ultimate compressive strength, R34 shows a fatigue life similar to that of PM 1000 at lower temperature (e.g. 600 °C) indicating that the quasi-static strength advantage is proportionally translated into improved fatigue performance; for higher temperatures (850 °C) however, R34 shows a shorter fatigue life as compared to PM 1000. Grain size reduction, as exemplified with the fine grain R90 batch, also provides an increase in strength up to the equicohesion temperature (TE) [Dieter, G.E., 1986. Mechanical Metallurgy. SI Metric ed. McGraw-Hill Book Company, London]. Above TE, faster diffusion and grain boundary sliding [Raj, R., Ashby, M.F., 1971. On the grain boundary sliding and diffusional creep. Metall. Trans. 2, 1113–1127; Spingarn, J.R., Nix, W.D., 1978. Diffusional creep and diffusionally accommodated grain rearrangement. Acta Metall. 26, 1389–1398] lead to a drastic drop in strength for the R90 material. In contrast, the batch with intermediate grain size (R901315) shows strength comparable to that of R34 up to 850 °C. Furthermore, R901315 shows improved crack tolerance compared to its coarse grain counterpart R34. Due to premature crack initiating coarse oxide particles however, R901315 does not show any improvement in elongation to failure during tensile tests. Eliminating those coarse particles is expected to improve the ductility and toughness of this isotropic batch. 相似文献

Rotary bending fatigue tests were carried out by using smooth specimens of medium carbon steel with two ferrite grain sizes.
In order to clarity the physical background of the scatter in fatigue behaviour, the statistical characteristics of the initiation
and growth of short fatigue crack were investigated. Results show that the short crack initiation and growth life distribution
can be express by two-or three-parameter Weibull distribution. The Weibull distribution of the mixed type is well fitted to
the crack length distribution for both steels. The knee values of Weibull plots are related to the grain size. The crack length
distribution before the knee point can be expressed by a two-parameter Weibull distribution, and that after the knee point
can be represented by two-or three-parameter Weibull distribution. It was found that the initiation Life, growth life and
crack length distribution were affected by the grain size. 相似文献

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties of a low temperature tempering bearing steel GCr15 with smooth and hole-defect specimens are studied by employing a rotary bending test machine with frequency of 52.5 Hz. Both smooth and hole-defect specimens break in VHCF regime with some difference in fatigue crack initiation. For smooth specimens, a fine granular area (FGA) is observed near the grain boundary in the fracture surface of the specimens broken after 107 cycles. But no FGA is observed in the hole-defect specimens broken in VHCF regime, and the VHCF crack does not initiate from the small hole at the surface as it does at low or high cycle fatigue regime. Internal stress is employed to explain the VHCF behavior of these two types of specimens. At last, an advanced dislocation model based on Tanaka and Mura model is proposed to illustrate the internal stress process and to predict fatigue crack initiation life with FGA observed in the fracture region. 相似文献

Dynamic fracture initiation toughness of marble was tested using two types of the holed-cracked flattened Brazilian disc (HCFBD)
specimens, which were diametrically impacted at the flat end of the disc by the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) of 100 mm
diameter. One type of the discs is geometrically similar with different outside diameter of 42 mm, 80 mm, 122 mm and 155 mm
respectively, and with crack length being half the diameter; another type of the discs has identical 80 mm diameter and different
crack length. Issues associated with determination of the stress wave loading by the SHPB system and the crack initiation
time in the disc specimen were resolved using strain gage technique. The stress waves recorded on the bars and the disc failure
patterns are shown and explained. The tested dynamic fracture toughness increases obviously with increasing diameter for the
geometrically similar HCFBD specimens. It changes moderately for the one-size specimens of identical diameter and different
crack length. The size effect of rock dynamic fracture toughness is mainly caused by the fracture process zone length l and fracture incubation time τ, the latter being an additional influencing factor for the dynamic loading as compared with the counterpart static situation.
Hence a method is proposed to determine a unique value for the dynamic fracture initiation toughness, the approach takes average
of the local distribution and time history for dynamic stress intensity factor in the spatial-temporal domain, which is defined
by l and τ jointly. In this way the dynamic size effect is minimized. 相似文献

Intrinsically, fatigue failure problem is a typical multiscale problem because a fatigue failure process deals with the fatigue crack growth from microscale to macroscale that passes two different scales. Both the microscopic and macroscopic effects in geometry and material property would affect the fatigue behaviors of structural components. Classical continuum mechanics has inability to treat such a multiscale problem since it excludes the scale effect from the beginning by introducing the continuity and homogeneity assumptions which blot out the discontinuity and inhomogeneity of materials at the microscopic scale. The main obstacle here is the link between the microscopic and macroscopic scale. It has to divide a continuous fatigue process into two parts which are analyzed respectively by different approaches. The first is so called as the fatigue crack initiation period and the second as the fatigue crack propagation period. Now the problem can be solved by application of the mesoscopic fracture mechanics theories developed in the recent years which focus on the link between different scales such as nano-, micro- and macro-scale.On the physical background of the problem, a restraining stress zone that can describe the material damaging process from micro to macro is then introduced and a macro/micro dual scale edge crack model is thus established. The expression of the macro/micro dual scale strain energy density factor is obtained which serves as a governing quantity for the fatigue crack growth. A multiscaling formulation for the fatigue crack growth is systematically developed. This is a main contribution to the fundamental theories for fatigue problem in this work. There prevail three basic parameters μ∗, σ∗ and d∗ in the proposed approach. They can take both the microscopic and macroscopic factors in geometry and material property into account. Note that μ∗, σ∗ and d∗ stand respectively for the ratio of microscopic to macroscopic shear modulus, the ratio of restraining stress to applied stress and the ratio of microvoid size ahead of crack tip to the characteristic length of material microstructure.To illustrate the proposed multiscale approach, Hangzhou Jiangdong Bridge is selected to perform the numerical computations. The bridge locates at Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province of China. It is a self-anchored suspension bridge on the Qiantang River. The cables are made of 109 parallel steel wires in the diameter of 7 mm. Cable forces are calculated by finite element method in the service period with and without traffic load. Two parameters α and β are introduced to account for the additional tightening and loosening effects of cables in two different ways. The fatigue crack growth rate coefficient C0 is determined from the fatigue experimental result. It can be concluded from numerical results that the size of initial microscopic defects is a dominant factor for the fatigue life of steel wires. In general, the tightening effect of cables would decrease the fatigue life while the loosening effect would impede the fatigue crack growth. However, the result can be reversed in some particular conditions. Moreover, the different evolution modes of three basic parameters μ∗, σ∗ and d∗ actually have the different influences on the fatigue crack growth behavior of steel wires. Finally the methodology developed in this work can apply to all cracking-induced failure problems of polycrystal materials, not only fatigue, but also creep rupture and cracking under both static and dynamic load and so on. 相似文献

The principle of least variance is applied to evaluate the reliability of the design conditions of the Runyang cable-stayed bridge. Monitored fatigue load in service data are analyzed in conjunction with the specimen fatigue crack growth data for bridge steel. Aside from size differences, the interactive effects of material behavior with load amplitude and frequency would vary with the depicted physical model for the reliability of life prediction. Based on the same crack growth history in time or cycle, the two choice selected for comparison are stress intensity factor (SIF) range, and the strain energy density (SED) range. Reliability is found to depend on the trade off between load amplitude and frequency. Considered are high-amplitude; low-frequency and low-amplitude; high-frequency. In each case, the chances are the reliable time span of fatigue crack growth will not coincide with the useful portion of bridge life, simply because the load frequency must be anticipated as an educated estimate. It is subject to change. Conversion of the crack length fatigue cycle history to the corresponding time history requires the specification of load frequency that can set the time span of the useful life. This is demonstrated for the Runyang bridge, where approximately 30 MPa and 8 MPa would correspond to the high and low fatigue load, respectively.Significant variances were found for the SIF and SED models. The difference can be attributed to the inclusion of the mean stress in the SED that is more forgiving since it accounts for both the stress and strain effects, in contrast to the SIF model that leaves out the strain and the mean stress. Since the principle of least variance refers to the average of the R-integrals, the results based on the linear sum (LS) and root mean square (RMS) will differ quantitatively, but not qualitatively. The obvious mismatch of the fatigue load used to determine the material property and that for the bridge design can be adjusted and absorbed into the appropriate choice for the load frequency, a compensating factor not realized up to now. To this end, the weighted functions in the R-integrals further emphasize long run effects of the least variance reliability analysis. Attention is called to Changeability in addition to determinability and probability for predicting the time to failure. That is to better anticipate the change in the fatigue load frequency, to which the assistance of health monitoring should provide. 相似文献

The local strain range is considered to be the main factor controlling the fatigue damage process. An energetic approach is applied to correlate the elastic-plastic stress and strain near a notch with the remotely applied stress. Fatigue crack initiation lives of LYI2CZ aluminum and 16 Mn steel are predicted from a knowledge of the uniaxial data involving parameters such as the elastic modulus, strain hardening strength and strain hardening exponent. These quantities are contained and identified with the fatigue strength coefficient C* which together with the equivalent stress range provide an estimate for the fatigue life of metals. The results agree well with the test data available in the open literature. 相似文献

Scatter observed in the fatigue response of a nickel-based superalloy, U720, is linked to the variability in the microstructure. Our approach is to model the energy of a persistent slip band (PSB) structure and use its stability with respect to dislocation motion as our failure criterion for fatigue crack initiation. The components that contribute to the energy of the PSB are identified, namely, the stress field resulting from the applied external forces, dislocation pile-ups, and work-hardening of the material is calculated at the continuum scale. Further, energies for dislocations creating slip in the matrix/precipitates, interacting with the GBs, and nucleating/agglomerating within the PSB are computed via molecular dynamics simulations. Through this methodology, fatigue life is predicted based on the energy of the PSB, which inherently accounts for the microstructure of the material. The present approach circumvents the introduction of uncertainty principles in material properties. It builds a framework based on mechanics of microstructure, and from this framework, we construct simulated microstructures based on the measured distributions of grain size, orientation, neighbor information, and grain boundary character, which allows us to calculate fatigue scatter using a deterministic approach. The uniqueness of the approach is that it avoids the large number of parameters prevalent in previous fatigue models. The predicted lives are in excellent agreement with the experimental data validating the model capabilities. 相似文献

Electric-field-induced fatigue crack growth in pre-cracked PZT ferroelectric ceramics is experimentally investigated in this work. It is found that the crack open and close under an alternating electric field is a major mechanism of crack propagation. The experimental results also show that the frequency, waveform, as well as the amplitude ratio, of the electric loading, play important roles in electric-field-induced fatigue cracking. Empirical formulations of fatigue crack propagation rates are obtained based on the experimental results. It is revealed that the crack grows at a nearly constant rate when the loading frequency is below 100 Hz. However, with the increase of the loading frequency over 125 Hz, the crack propagation rate diminishes rapidly. 相似文献

The paper proposes a new approach for shape optimisation with fatigue life as the design objective. Conventional designs often incorporate stress optimisation that aims at reducing stress concentrations around a structural boundary by minimising the peak stress. However, this is only an effective and sufficient measure for an ‘ideal’ or ‘flaw-less’ structure. It is a well-known fact that flaws (cracks) are inevitably present in most structures. This emphasises the need to investigate the influence of cracks on optimised shapes. Numerical modelling of cracks using the Finite Element Method requires a fine mesh to model the singularity at crack tips, which makes fracture calculations computationally expensive. Furthermore, for a damage tolerance based optimisation, numerous cracks are to be considered at various arbitrary locations in a structure, and fatigue life evaluation needs to be repeated for each crack at every iteration. This makes the optimisation process extremely computationally inefficient for practical purpose. Moreover, the lack of information concerning crack size, orientation, and location makes the formulation of the optimisation problem difficult. As a result, there has been inadequate research to consider fracture parameters, such as fatigue life, in the optimisation objective. To address this, the paper presents an approach for the shape optimisation of damage tolerant structures with fatigue life as the design constraint.The damage tolerance based optimisation was performed using a number of nonlinear programming algorithms, namely the Broydon-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method, the Fletcher Reeves (Conjugate Direction) method, and the Sequential Unconstrained Minimisation Technique (SUMT). These methods were extended for optimising the fatigue life in the presence of numerous surface cracks. A significant enhancement in fatigue life was achieved for various crack cases consisting of different initial and final crack sizes. It is shown that the fatigue life optimised shapes can be considerably different from the corresponding stress optimised solution. This emphasises the need to explicitly consider fatigue life as a distinct design objective when optimising damage tolerant structures. A fatigue life optimisation leads to the generation of a ‘near uniform’ fatigue critical surface. The design space near the ‘optimal’ region was found to be relatively flat. This means that the precise identification of the local/global optimum solution is not critical, because a significant structural performance enhancement can be achieved in the ‘near’ optimal region. An additional benefit of fatigue life optimisation is that the resulting optimised shapes may even be lighter than the stress optimised designs. To verify the optimal solutions obtained using the nonlinear programming algorithms, the results were compared with those obtained using a heuristic optimisation method (Biological algorithm). The solutions predicted by both the methods, employing inherently different (gradient-based and gradient-less) algorithms, were found to agree very well. 相似文献

Critical strain energy density of rock can be defined as a fundamental parameter in rock fracture mechanics, an intrinsic material property related to resistance to crack initiation and propagation. By means of the three-point bending experiments, the critical strain energy density factor of Huanglong limestone was measured over a wide range of loading rates from 8.97 × 10−4 MPam1/2 s−1 to 1.545 MPam1/2 s−1. According to the approximate relationship between static and dynamic critical strain energy density factor of Huanglong limestone, relationship between the growth velocity of crack and magnitude of load is obtained. The main conclusions are summarized as follows: (1) when the loading rate is higher than 0.0279 MPam1/2 s−1, the critical strain energy density factor of rock increased markedly with increasing loading rate. However, when loading rate is lower than 0.0279 MPam1/2 s−1, the critical strain energy density factor slightly increased with an increase in loading rate. It is found from experimental results that the critical strain energy density factor is linear proportional to the exponential expression of loading rate, (2) for Huanglong limestone, when the growth velocity of crack is lower than 100 m/s, value of the maximum load was nearly a constant. However, when the growth velocity of crack is higher than 1000 m/s, value of the maximum load dramatically increases with increasing the crack growth velocity, and (3) the critical SED of Huanglong limestone is higher as the loading rate is higher. 相似文献

In this paper, we construct a model for prediction of fatigue crack initiation based on the material’s microstructure. In order to do so, the energy of a persistent slip band (PSB) is monitored and an energy balance approach is taken, in which cracks initiate and the material fails due to stress concentration from a PSB (with respect to dislocation motion). These PSBs are able to traverse low-angle grain boundaries (GB), thus belonging to clusters of grains. As a consequence of the ongoing cyclic slip process, the PSBs evolve and interact with high-angle GBs, the result of which leads to dislocation pile-ups, static extrusions in the form of ledges/steps at the GB, stress concentration, and ultimately crack initiation. Hence, this fatigue model is driven by the microstructure, i.e. grain orientations, widely distributed grain sizes, precipitates, PSB-GB interactions, as well as the affect of neighboring grains. The results predict that cracks initiate near twin boundaries from PSBs spanning a single large grain with a favorable orientation or multiple grains connected by low-angle GBs. Excellent agreement is shown between model predictions and experimental data. 相似文献

A rate dependent, microstructure-sensitive crystal plasticity model is formulated for correlating the mechanical behavior of a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy IN 100 at 650 °C. This model has the capability to capture first order effects on the stress–strain response due to (a) grain size, (b) γ′ precipitate size distribution, and (c) γ′ precipitate volume fraction. Experimental fatigue data with variable strain rates are used to calibrate the model for several distinct IN 100 microstructures (grain size, precipitate size distributions and volume fractions) obtained from thermomechanical processing. Physically based hardening laws are employed to evolve the dislocation densities for each slip system, taking into consideration the dislocation interaction mechanisms. 相似文献

A novel method for measuring and characterizing dynamic fracture-initiation toughness of elastic-plastic materials 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The characterization and testing methods of the dynamic fracture initiation toughness of elastic-plastic materials under tensile
impact are studied. By using the self-designed bar-bar tensile impact apparatus, a novel test method for studying dynamic
fracture-initiation has been proposed based on the one-dimensional test principle. The curve of average loadv. s. displacement
is smooth until unstable crack propagation, and the kinetic energy which does not contribute to the crack growth can be removed
from total work done by external-force to the specimen. The fracture-initiation point is determined by compliance-changing
rate method. The results show that these methods are feasible and effective. Through the analysis of the conversion between
work and energy of a fracture specimen, the dynamicJ-integral is adopted as a characteristic parameter for elastic-plastic materials under impact loading. TheJ-integral is calculated from
and
curves by using the formula proposed, by Rice. TheJ-integral at fracture initiation is employed to describe the dynamic fracture-initiation toughness of elastic-plastic materials
and the experimental results indicate thatJ
ID can be regarded as a material constant. 相似文献

The influences of two welding processes, namely, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW), on fatigue life of cruciform joints containing lack of penetration (LOP) defects have been analyzed by using the strain energy density factor (SEDF) approach. Load carrying cruciform joints were fabricated from ASTM 517 ‘F’ grade steel. Fatigue crack growth experiments were carried out in a mechanical resonance vertical pulsator (SCHENCK 200 kN capacity) with a frequency of 30 Hz under constant amplitude loading (R=0). It was found that the fatigue lives of the cruciform joints fabricated by SMAW process were relatively higher than the FCAW counterpart. Moreover, fracture mechanics equations have been developed to predict the fatigue life of the cruciform joints fabricated by the above-mentioned two processes. 相似文献
