It is known that the fatigue strength decreases in corrosive environment and many experiments were carried out to comprehend the decrease in fatigue strength in corrosive environment. In order to comprehend the actual state, a cycle speed of fatigue test loads should correspond to a wave frequency. Therefore, an experiment in the long life region is practically difficult, then the corrosion fatigue data available for the life assessment of the structure is quite limited. In this study, the fatigue strength of the welded joints in long life service was evaluated according to the calculations of corrosion fatigue crack propagation subjected to the random loadings which followed an exponential distribution. In the crack propagation calculations, the progress of corrosion wastage from the plate surface and the resultant stress increase were considered simultaneously. In the high stress and the short life region, the decrease in fatigue strength due to the accelerated crack propagation in corrosive environment was dominant because the progress of corrosion wastage was little. On the other hand, in the low stress and the long life region, the decrease in fatigue strength became dull as longer the fatigue life because the corrosion fatigue crack propagation was suppressed by the corrosion wastage, but after that the fatigue strength showed the precipitous decrease due to the increase in stress resulted by the progress of corrosion wastage.

Abstract Today gears are one of the most crucial machine elements in the industry. They are used in every area of the industry. Due to the high performances of the gears, they are also used in aerospace and wind applications. In these areas due to the high torques, unstable conditions, high impact forces, etc. cracks can be seen on the gear surface. During the service life, these cracks can be propagated and gear damages can be seen due to the initial cracks. The aim of this study is to increase the fatigue crack propagation life of the spur gears by using asymmetric tooth profile. Nowadays asymmetric gears have a very important and huge usage area in the industry. In this study, the effects of drive side pressure angle on the fatigue crack propagation life are studied by using the finite element method. The initial starting points of the cracks are defined by static stress analysis. The starting angles of the cracks are defined constant at 45°. The crack propagation analyses are performed in ANSYS SMART Crack-Growth module by using Paris Law. Four different drive side pressure angles (20°-20°, 20°-25°, 20°-30° and 20°-35°) are investigated in this study. As a result of the study the fatigue crack propagation life of the gears is increased dramatically when the drive side pressure angle increase. This results show that the asymmetric tooth profile not only decrease the bending stress but also increase the fatigue crack propagation life strongly.

Fatigue Crack Propagation Life

In this study, the assessment and calculation methods for the crack propagation life of steam turbine rotor shafts containing defects are presented. The analytic methods for estimating the average stress and the alternating stress amplitude of the steam turbine rotor shafts are introduced. The defects on/in the rotor shafts were regularized by the method of fracture mechanics, and the high cycle fatigue crack propagation life and low cycle fatigue crack propagation life of the rotor shafts are estimated from Paris formula. Taking the 60MW turbine rotor shafts containing an initial surface defect and an initial internal defect as the examples respectively, the crack propagation life of them were calculated. The results indicated that the assessment method for the crack propagation life can preliminarily be both used to estimate the safety-operating life and to analyze the fracture reason of a steam turbine rotor shaft containing defects. This paper can provide reference for periodic maintenance and safety evaluation of turbine rotor shafts.
