The forging die material, a high strength steel designated W513 is considered in this paper. A fatigue damage model, based on thermodynamics and continuum damage mechanics, is constructed in which both the previous damage and the loading sequence are considered. The unknown material parameters in the model are identified from low cycle fatigue tests. Damage evolution under multi-level fatigue loading is investigated. The results show that the fatigue life is closely related to the loading sequence. The fatigue life of the materials with low fatigue loading first followed by high fatigue loading is longer than that for the reversed loading sequence.

Abstract Low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of unidirectional polymer matrix composites (PMCs) reinforced with glass fibers is investigated. LCF conditions involve high loads reaching up to 90% of the material ultimate strength. LCF characterization of PMCs is carried out under tension-tension fatigue loading to identify the key physical phenomena occurring in PMCs under LCF conditions and to determine their unique characteristics. Analysis of experimental data indicates that finite strain rates, large strains and stress ratios may affect LCF behavior of PMC structures and the property degradation rates.

The traditional cropping processes have some disadvantages, such as poor surface quality, low yield, the waste of materials, and high energy consumption. The low cycle fatigue precision cropping process with circumferential loading, which is a new type of precision cropping process, is studied. According to the stress concentration effect of the V-shape notch, the fatigue crack on the tip of the V-shape notch is prompted to initiate and extend. The working principle of the precision cropping machine is described. The criterion that whether the crack on the root of the V-shape notch is initiated or not is provided under the effect of low cycle fatigue loading. The materials which are 0.2%C steel, H59 copper, 0.45%C steel, 20Cr steel, and LY12 aluminum are tested under two control curves. The initiation and propagation of crack are accelerated and the good cross sections of the metal bar are obtained. The results show that the mean stress of the metal bar in the cropping process can be effectively reduced due to the stress concentration effect of the V-shape notch. The metal bar’s stable crack propagation and fracture can be obtained when constantly increasing striking displacement and reducing the striking frequency in the cropping process at the same time in the process.

Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation based on fracture mechanics and the conventional finite element method requires a huge amount of computational resources when the cracked structure shows a complicated condition such as the multiple site damage or thermal fatigue. The objective of the present study is to develop a simulation technique for fatigue crack propagation that can be applied to complex situations by employing the continuum damage mechanics (CDM). An anisotropic damage tensor is defined to model a macroscopic fatigue crack. The validity of the present theory is examined by comparing the elastic stress distributions around the crack tip with those obtained by a conventional method. Combined with a nonlinear elasto-plastic constitutive equation, numerical simulations are conducted for low cycle fatigue crack propagation in a plate with one or two cracks. The results show good agreement with the experiments. Finally, propagations of multiply distributed cracks under low cycle fatigue loading are simulated to demonstrate the potential application of the present method.
