Abstract This paper describes a new fatigue testing machine for the application of tension-tension biaxial stresses and presents the results of an investigation on the biaxial fatigue strength of Alcoa 24S-T. The influence of various ratios of the maximum values of the principal stresses upon the fatigue strength was determined. Fluctuating biaxial tensile stresses were produced by subjecting a thin-walled tubular specimen to a pulsating internal pressure and a pulsating axial load. The maximum and minimum values of the principal stresses were kept in phase. Fatigue strengths and S-N diagrams for four principal stress ratios were obtained.

This paper studies multiaxial low cycle fatigue crack mode and failure life of Ti-6Al-4V. Stress controlled fatigue tests were carried out using a hollow cylinder specimen under multiaxial loadings of ?=0, 0.4, 0.5 and 1 of which stress ratio R=0 at room temperature. ? is a principal stress ratio and is defined as ?=sigmaII/sigmaI, where sigmaI and sigmaII are principal stresses of which absolute values take the largest and middle ones, respectively. Here, the test at ?=0 is a uniaxial loading test and that at ?=1 an equi-biaxial loading test. A testing machine employed is a newly developed multiaxial fatigue testing machine which can apply push-pull and reversed torsion loadings with inner pressure onto the hollow cylinder specimen. Based on the obtained results, this study discusses evaluation of the biaxial low cycle fatigue life and crack mode. Failure life is reduced with increasing ? induced by cyclic ratcheting. The crack mode is affected by the surface condition of cut-machining and the failure life depends on the crack mode in the multiaxial loading largely.

This paper discusses the fatigue fracture behaviour of aluminium alloy AA6061-T6 under spectrum loadings at room and elevated temperatures. The load sequence can have a very significant effect in fatigue lives and normally the fatigue strength of material decrease with increasing temperature. In this study, variable amplitude loading (VAL) signal was obtained from the engine mount bracket of an automobile in a normal driving condition. Constant amplitude loading (CAL), high to low and low to high spectrum loadings were then derived from the VAL obtained from the data capturing process to study the fatigue behaviour that subjected to spectrum loadings at the room and elevated temperatures. The fatigue tests were performed according to an ASTM E466 standard using a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine. Fatigue fracture surfaces were then sectioned and inspected by employing a high magnification microscope. Results indicated that fracture surface behaviours of specimens were influenced significantly by the load sequence and temperatures, which can be related to the fatigue lives of aluminium alloy under spectrum loadings.
