The full shape of constant fatigue life (CFL) diagram has been identified for three kinds of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates of [45/90/-45/0]2s, [0/60/-60]2s and [0/90]3s lay-ups, respectively. First, the effects of mean stress on fatigue behavior are observed for the quasi-isotropic [45/90/-45/0]2s CFRP laminate. It is clearly observed that the CFL diagram turns out asymmetric and the peak of the CFL diagram is slightly offset to the right of the alternating stress axis. The CFL plots indicate that the alternating stress component of fatigue load becomes maximal at a critical stress ratio closely equal to the compressive strength to tensile one (i.e. a C/T strength ratio). It is also demonstrated that CFL curves for different constant values of life are linear in the range of a short life, but they turn quadratic in the range of a longer life. Similar features are observed for the other kinds of CFRP laminates. Then, to construct the asymmetric dissimilar shape of CFL diagrams, a new methodology is developed on the basis of the static strengths in tension and compression and the reference S-N relationship for the critical stress ratio. An efficient procedure for determining the reference S-N relationship for the critical stress ratio by using fatigue data for another stress ratio is also developed.

The mechanical properties of a complex composite material formed by steel and hardened concrete, are studied. A technique of operative quality control of new credible concrete and reinforcement, both in laboratory and field conditions is developed for determination of the strength and strain characteristics of materials, as well as cohesion forces determining their joint operation under load. The design of the mobile unit is presented. The unit provides a possibility of changing the direction of loading and testing the reinforced element of the given shape both for tension and compression. Moreover, the nomenclature of testing equipment and the number of molds for manufacturing concrete samples substantially decrease. Using the values of forcing resulting in concrete cracking when the joint work of concrete and reinforcement is disrupted the values of the inherent stresses and strains attributed to the concrete shrinkage are determined. An analytical relationship between the forces and deformations of the reinforced concrete sample with central reinforcement is derived for axial tension and compression, with allowance for strains and stresses in the reinforcement and concrete resulted from concrete shrinkage. The results of experimental studies are presented, including tension diagrams and diagrams of developing axial deformations with an increase in the load under the central loading of the reinforced elements. A methodology of accounting for stresses and deformations resulted from concrete shrinkage is developed. The applicability of the derived analytical relationships between stresses and deformations on the material diagrams to calculations of the reinforced concrete structures in the framework of the deformation model is estimated.

A new destructive method for quantitative determination of the damage accumulation in the vicinity of a stress concentrator has been proposed and verified. Increase of damage degree in local area with a high level of the strain gradient was achieved through preliminary low-cycle pull-push loading of plane specimens with central open holes. The above procedure is performed for three programs at the same stress range (333.3 MPa) and different stress ratio values 0.33, – 0.66 and – 1.0, and vice versa for two programs at the same stress ratio – 0.33 and different stress range 333.3 and 233.3 MPa. This process offers a set of the objects to be considered with different degree of accumulated fatigue damages. The key point of the developed approach consists in the fact that plane specimens with open holes are tested under real operation conditions without a preliminary notching of the specimen initiating the fatigue crack growth. The measured parameters necessary for a quantitative description of the damage accumulation process were obtained by removing the local volume of the material in the form of a sequence of narrow notches at a constant level of external tensile stress. External load can be considered an amplifier enhancing a useful signal responsible for revealing the material damage. The notch is intended for assessing the level of fatigue damage, just as probe holes are used to release residual stress energy in the hole drilling method. Measurements of the deformation response caused by local removing of the material are carried out by electronic speckle-pattern interferometry at different stages of low-cycle fatigue. The transition from measured in-plane displacements to the values of the stress intensity factor (SIF) and the T-stress was carried out on the basis of the relations of linear fracture mechanics. It was shown that the normalized dependences of the stress intensity factor on the durability percentage for the first notch (constructed for four programs of cyclic loading with different parameters), reflect the effect of the stress ratio and stress range of the loading cycle on the rate of damage accumulation. The data were used to obtain the explicit form of the damage accumulation function that quantitatively describes damage accumulation process. The functions were constructed for different stress ratios and stress ranges.

Additively manufactured parts often comprise internal porosities due to the manufacturing process, which needs to be considered in modelling their mechanical behaviour. It was experimentally shown that additively manufactured parts’ tensile and compressive mechanical properties are different for various metallic alloys. In this study, isotropic continuum damage mechanics is used to model additively manufactured alloys’ tension and compression behaviours. Compressive stress components can shrink discontinuities present in additively manufactured alloys. Therefore, the crack closure effect was employed to describe different behaviours during uniaxial tension and compression tests. A finite element model embedded in an ABAQUS’s UMAT format was developed to account for the isotropic continuum damage mechanics model. The numerical results of tension and compression tests were compared with experimental observations for additively manufactured maraging steel, AlSi10Mg and Ti-6Al-4V. Stress–strain curves in tension and compression of these alloys were obtained using the continuum damage mechanics model and compared well with the experimental results.

This study develops a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model for polymer-bonded composite materials, allowing for the prediction of deformation behaviors under tension and compression in the testing temperature range. Laboratory testing of the material specimens in uniaxial tension and compression at multiple temperatures ranging from −40 ∘C to 75 ∘C is performed. The testing data reveal that the stress–strain response can be divided into two general regimes, namely, a short elastic part followed by the plastic part; therefore, the Ramberg–Osgood relationship is proposed to build the stress–strain constitutive model at a single temperature. By correlating the model parameters with the corresponding temperature using a response surface, a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model is established. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model are validated using several independent sets of testing data and third-party data. The performance of the proposed model is compared with an existing reference model. The validation and comparison results show that the proposed model has a lower number of parameters and yields smaller relative errors. The proposed constitutive model is further implemented as a user material routine in a finite element package. A simple structural example using the developed user material is presented and its accuracy is verified.
