含缺口试件疲劳全寿命预测一种建议的方法

传统的研究含缺口构件的疲劳的方法是将疲劳启裂和疲劳裂纹扩展两个过程完全独立起来,用不同的方法来模拟,相互间并没有定量的关系。本文是基于最新发展的多轴疲劳损伤理论,建立了一种适用于各种载荷条件下的疲劳启裂和裂纹扩展的普适方法。根据从弹塑性分析中得到的应力应变,确定疲劳损伤模型,建立能够预测疲劳启裂、裂纹扩展速率和扩展方向的新方法。整个模拟可以分为两步:弹-塑性应力分析得到材料的应力应变分布;再运用一个通用的疲劳准则预测疲劳裂纹启裂和裂纹扩展。通过对1070号钢含缺口试件的疲劳全寿命预测,得到了与实验非常吻合的模拟结果。

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.

冲击载荷作用下圆孔缺陷对裂纹动态扩展行为的影响规律

空腔和裂纹缺陷通常共存于深部地下岩体中,它们共同影响着岩体的结构安全性与稳定性。为了探究动力扰动载荷下圆形空腔对裂隙岩体内裂纹扩展行为的影响规律,提出了不同圆孔倾角的直裂纹空腔圆弧开口试件（circular opening specimen with straight crack cavity, COSSCC）,利用自制大型落锤冲击实验装置进行动态加载实验,同时采用裂纹扩展计系统测试了裂纹的动态起裂时刻与裂纹扩展速度等各种断裂力学参数,随后采用有限差分软件Autodyn进行裂纹扩展路径与圆孔周围应力场的数值分析,并采用有限元软件Abaqus计算裂纹的动态起裂韧度与裂纹扩展过程中的动态扩展韧度。结果表明:（1）当圆孔倾角θ小于10°时,裂纹扩展路径会偏折并穿过圆孔表面;当圆孔倾角θ为20°与30°时,裂纹扩展路径向圆孔方向发生偏折但不会穿过圆孔,圆孔具有明显的裂纹扩展引导作用; 当圆孔倾角θ为40°与50°时,裂纹扩展路径不会发生偏折,圆孔引导作用明显减弱。（2）当裂纹扩展路径达到圆孔空腔附近时,裂纹尖端的拉伸应力区与圆孔边缘的拉伸应力区发生重合,此时裂纹扩展速度显著增大,裂纹动态断裂韧度显著减小。（3）裂纹的偏折方向与裂纹尖端最大周向应力的方向基本一致。（4）裂纹动态断裂韧度始终小于裂纹起裂韧度,且裂纹动态断裂韧度与裂纹动态扩展速度呈负相关关系。裂纹动态扩展速度越大,裂纹动态断裂韧度越小。     

Repeated impact on fatigue fracture of carbon spring En-42J steel

The influence of repeated impact loading on fatigue fracture of carbon spring En-42J steel is studied. A highly localized plastic deformation is observed at the time of impact. The circular disc specimen is failed by impact fatigue resulting in small chips and ordinary fatigue failure by slow crack growth. The crack growth behavior depends on specimen geometry, load spectra and material type. The resultant of applied and residual stress was highest at the edge of the circular disc where the crack initiated. The fractured surface showed typical cleavage facets and dimples indicating acicular martensite. A model is developed to explain fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior under impact loading. Stress calculations are made to determine catastrophic failure. Crack initiation occupied the major part of impact fatigue life while crack growth was fast and led quickly to sudden fracture.     

Very high cycle fatigue for GCr15 steel with smooth and hole-defect specimens

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.     

考虑T-stress的非正态随机参数疲劳裂纹扩展寿命的可靠性分析

基于断裂力学的疲劳裂纹扩展寿命问题的研究常常将裂纹尖端应力展开项的高次项忽略,引起了裂纹扩展模拟的误差,本文考虑高次项T-stress对裂纹扩展角的影响,对裂纹扩展过程做了数值模拟,结果显示相同裂纹扩展长度下,考虑T-stress会延长裂纹扩展寿命。文章首先采用修正的Paris-Erdogan 公式计算了两端承受均布拉伸载荷的边缘斜裂纹板的疲劳裂纹扩展寿命,裂纹扩展方向采用两参数修正的最大拉应力准则。由于结构尺寸,材料特性和载荷等因素具有不确定性,导致疲劳裂纹扩展过程带有一定的随机性,本文以材料属性和载荷为随机变量,在随机有限元法的基础上,结合计算可靠度的四阶矩法,Edgeworth级数展开方法,提出随机参数服从任意分布时的结构疲劳裂纹扩展寿命可靠度的计算方法。分析了参数为非正态分布时的平板裂纹扩展寿命可靠度随裂纹扩展的变化过程。本文方法可预测工程中板裂纹的扩展行为,以及预测裂纹板的可靠度。

Constant amplitude and variable load history fatigue test results and predictions for cruciform and lap welds

Cruciform and lap welds were fatigue tested under constant amplitude axial load and SAE Bracket spectrum load conditions. For the cruciform joints, fatigue cracks generally initiate at the root but may initiate at the toe if higher bending stresses are induced by joint distortion. For lap welds, the stress ratio ($\text{R}$) and weld shape are the major factors influencing the fatigue crack initiation site.The fatigue test results were compared with predictions made using an analytical model developed by the authors, and good agreement between experiment and theory was observed. The model for the predictions assumes that the fatigue crack initiation period, which is the number of cycles for the initiation of a fatigue crack and its early growth and coalescence into a dominant fatigue crack, is the main portion of the total fatigue life at long lives.     

孔边循环应变与疲劳循环次数相关性实验研究

材料的应变疲劳寿命与裂端的塑性应变有关。研究孔边循环应变与疲劳循环次数的相关性,对于研究材料损伤及微裂纹的产生,预防宏观裂纹的产生及扩展具有十分重要的意义。所以本文对有限宽板中心带孔试件进行了拉伸疲劳试验,用以研究这种相关性。在疲劳试验前首先进行逐级的加、卸载缓慢循环实验,同时利用数字图像相关技术测量孔周的位移场,进而求出孔边应变。在疲劳试验过程中,每当疲劳循环1500次就停机,进行同样的缓慢循环实验,并测量出孔周的位移场及孔边应变。实验研究中获得了一些很重要的结果。

A Review of Fatigue Behavior in Nanocrystalline Metals

Nanocrystalline metals have been shown to exhibit unique mechanical behavior, including break-down in Hall-Petch behavior, suppression of dislocation-mediated plasticity, induction of grain boundary sliding, and induction of mechanical grain coarsening. Early research on the fatigue behavior of nanocrystalline metals shows evidence of improved fatigue resistance compared to traditional microcrystalline metals. In this review, experimental and modeling observations are used to evaluate aspects of cyclic plasticity, microstructural stability, crack initiation processes, and crack propagation processes. In cyclic plasticity studies to date, nanocrystalline metals have exhibited strongly rate-dependent cyclic hardening, suggesting the importance of diffusive deformation mechanisms such as grain-boundary sliding. The cyclic deformation processes have also been shown to cause substantial mechanically-induced grain coarsening reminiscent of coarsening observed during large-strain monotonic deformation of nanocrystalline metals. The crack-initiation process in nanocrystalline metals has been associated with both subsurface internal defects and surface extrusions, although it is unclear how these extrusions form when the grain size is below the scale necessary for persistent slip band formation. Finally, as expected, nanocrystalline metals have very little resistance to crack propagation due to limited plasticity and the lack of crack path tortuosity among other factors. Nevertheless, like bulk metallic glasses, nanocrystalline metals exhibit both ductile fatigue striations and metal-like Paris-law behavior. The review provides both a comprehensive critical survey of existing literature and a summary of key areas for further investigation.     

Effect of plastic zone on the fatigue crack propagation behavior between two fatigue cracks

In this study, the fatigue crack propagation behavior in the stress interaction field between two different fatigue cracks is studied by experiment and finite element analysis. In the experiment, the offset distance between two cracks and the applied stress are varied to create different stress interaction fields. The size of the plastic zone area is used to examine the crack propagation path and rate. Three types of crack propagation in the interaction field were found by experiment, and the crack propagation behavior of two cracks was significantly changed as different stresses were applied. The size of the plastic zone obtained by finite element analysis can be used to explain crack propagation behavior qualitatively.     

Prediction of fatigue life improvement in natural rubber using configurational stress

To some extent, continua can no longer be considered as free of defects. Experimental observations on natural rubber revealed the existence of distributed microscopic defects which grow upon cyclic loading. However, these observations are not incorporated in the classical fatigue life predictors for rubber, i.e. the maximum principal stretch, the maximum principal stress and the strain energy. Recently, Verron et al. [Verron, E., Le Cam, J.B., Gornet, L., 2006. A multiaxial criterion for crack nucleation in rubber. Mech. Res. Commun. 33, 493–498] considered the configurational stress tensor to propose a fatigue life predictor for rubber which takes into account the presence of microscopic defects by considering that macroscopic crack nucleation can be seen as the result of the propagation of microscopic defects. For elastic materials, it predicts privileged regions of rubber parts in which macroscopic fatigue crack might appear. Here, we will address our interest to a broader context. Rubber is assumed to exhibit inelastic behavior, characterized by hysteresis, under fatigue loading conditions. The configurational mechanics-based predictor is modified to incorporate inelastic constitutive equations. Afterwards, it is used to predict fatigue life. The emphasis of the present work is laid on the prediction of the well-known fatigue life improvement in natural rubber under tension–tension cyclic loading.

A hybrid model for computationally efficient fatigue fracture simulations at microelectronic assembly interfaces

Modern microelectronic assemblies are heterogeneous, layered structures joined by interconnects made of solder alloys with low homologous temperatures. The solder interconnections join devices to circuit boards and they fail by thermal fatigue fracture at their interfaces either to the device or to the circuit board. Predicting the fatigue fracture of the solder interconnections is a challenge due to the fact that they undergo large inelastic deformations during temperature cycling tests. In this paper we develop a hybrid approach inspired by cohesive zone fracture mechanics and the Disturbed State Concept to predict the crack trajectory and fatigue life of a solder interconnection subjected to both isothermal temperature cycling and anisothermal temperature cycling conditions (representing the two common accelerated test conditions for microelectronic products). A hybrid computational approach is used in which a first order approximation of the disturbance is used to estimate incremental cycles to criticality and thereby propagate the crack. The modeled crack fronts and the fatigue lives are validated through a comparison to results from the two types of accelerated tests. Overall, the model is shown to predict the fatigue life of the critical interconnection in the assembly to within 20% of the experimentally determined life. More importantly, the predicted crack trajectory is demonstrated to agree very well with the experimentally observed trajectory. Strikingly, the microscopically observed microstructural changes during crack propagation from that corresponding to creep fatigue to that of shear overload were found to be excellently correlated with the rate of change of the disturbance calculated in the model.
