Novel accelerated random vibration fatigue test methodology and strategy are proposed, which can generate a design of the experimental test plan significantly reducing the test time and the sample size. Based on theoretical analysis and fatigue damage model, several groups of random vibration fatigue tests were designed and conducted with the aim of investigating effects of both Gaussian and non-Gaussian random excitation on the vibration fatigue. First, stress responses at a weak point of a notched specimen structure were measured under different base random excitations. According to the measured stress responses, the structural fatigue lives corresponding to the different vibrational excitations were predicted by using the WAFO simulation technique. Second, a couple of destructive vibration fatigue tests were carried out to validate the accuracy of the WAFO fatigue life prediction method. After applying the proposed experimental and numerical simulation methods, various factors that affect the vibration fatigue life of structures were systematically studied, including root mean squares of acceleration, power spectral density, power spectral bandwidth, and kurtosis. The feasibility of WAFO for non-Gaussian vibration fatigue life prediction and the use of non-Gaussian vibration excitation for accelerated fatigue testing were experimentally verified.

Vibration Fatigue

Problems of vibration fatigue exist in the field of aeronautics and astronautics widespread, which endangered the safety and reliability for structures of aircraft. Vibration-exciter-based fatigue testing system was designed and a method for fatigue testing of the resonating structure was proposed. In test, natural frequency of the test pieces was tracked by the exciting frequency. Experiments are carried out for the typical components with different working condition. One is with given strain, and another is with given force. Results indicate that impacts of the strain amplitude, the damping, the natural frequency and the boundary conditions on vibration fatigue life are obviously.

Vibration Fatigue

According to resonant vibration fatigue tests, near-eutectic and Pb-rich hypoeutectic Pb–Sn specimens have higher crack-propagation resistance. The tensile flow stress of Pb–Sn solders that are near eutectic composition increases with decreasing Pb content. The solders were tested after either stabilizing at 373 K or natural aging for 20 days, which gave similar results. The naturally aged specimens show that the crack-propagation resistance increases with increasing aging time. A striated deformation was found to occur in Sn grain of the lower Pb specimen. This phenomenon is correlated with a deterioration of crack-propagation resistance.

ASME Code Case N-666 provides alternative rules for repair of a cracked and leaking small bore socket weld by installation of a structural weld overlay [1]. The crack is not removed but is encapsulated and sealed under the weld overlay. Vibration fatigue testing reported by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) demonstrates that socket welds repaired by the method specified in ASME Code Case N-666 have equivalent or better fatigue strength compared to standard socket welds. This paper investigates fatigue test data and fracture mechanics analyses for standard socket welds and compares this to the vibration fatigue strength exhibited by overlay repaired socket welds. A relationship based on fatigue testing of a standard socket weld with root defects was proposed by Japanese researchers to correlate the reduction in fatigue strength with increasing root defect size. This relationship is compared to an EPRI finite element model that was developed to evaluate the stress intensity factor at the root of a standard socket weld. A correction factor is proposed for estimation of the stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a socket weld repaired by weld overlay. The correction factor is derived from a three-dimensional solution for straight pipe with an inside surface circumferential crack and from the finite element model for standard sized socket welds. Finally, weld residual stress analyses reported by Japanese researchers for standard socket welds are compared to weld residual stress data from recent thermal-mechanical finite element analyses for overlay repaired socket welds. The threshold for fatigue crack propagation and the influence of weld residual stress is presented to explain the high vibration fatigue strength exhibited by socket welds repaired by the method of Code Case N-666.
