Fatigue Model

In this work, an extension of a previously developed continuum based high-cycle fatigue model is enhanced to also capture the low-cycle fatigue regime, where significant plastic deformation of the bulk material takes place. Coupling of the LCFand HCF-models is due to the damage evolution equation. The high-cycle part of the model is based on the concepts of a moving endurance surface in the stress space with an associated evolving isotropic damage variable. Damage evolution in the low-cycle part is determined via plastic deformations and endurance function. For the plastic behaviour a non-linear isotropic and kinematic hardening J2-plasticity model is adopted. Within this unified approach, there is no need for heuristic cycle-counting approaches since the model is formulated by means of evolution equations, i.e. incremental relations, and not changes per cycle. Moreover, the model is inherently multiaxial and treats the uniaxial and multiaxial stress histories in the same manner. Calibration of the model parameters is discussed and results from some test cases are shown.

Loading Sequence

To perform low cycle fatigue analysis on nuclear structural materials under cyclic loading, cyclic hardening rules should be determined. In this study, the determination of linear and nonlinear kinematic hardening model parameters based on limited material test data is proposed. Chaboche model parameters are determined from hysteresis loops for the purpose of comparison. Simulation of cyclic C(T) test is performed using the hardening models. In cyclic C(T) test, SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel and SA312 TP316L stainless steel were taken and incremental loading sequence was adopted. In the loading sequence, displacement control was used for loading steps and load control was applied for unloading steps to maintain constant load ratio. A constant displacement increment was applied after each cycle. The simulation results using A&F model and Chaboche model are compared to verify the applicability of A&F model.

Number Of Cycles

In this paper, Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) theory is applied to low cycle and high cycle fatigue problems. Damage evolution laws are derived from thermodynamic principles and the fatigue number of cycles to crack initiation is expressed in terms of the range of applied stresses, triaxiality function and material constants termed as damage parameters. Low cycle fatigue damage evolution law is applied to adhesively bonded single lap joint. Damage parameters as function of stress are extracted from the fatigue tests and the damage model. High cycle fatigue damage model is applied to fretting fatigue test specimens and is integrated within a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code in order to predict the number of cycles to crack initiation. Fretting fatigue problems involve two types of analyses; namely contact mechanics and damage/fracture mechanics. The high cycle fatigue damage evolution law takes into account the effect of different parameters such as contact geometry, axial stress, normal load and tangential load.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique materials capable of undergoing a thermo-mechanically induced, reversible, crystallographic phase transformation. As SMAs are utilized across a variety of applications, it is necessary to understand the internal changes that occur throughout the lifetime of SMA components. One of the key limitations to the lifetime of a SMA component is the response of SMAs to fatigue. SMAs are subject to two kinds of fatigue, namely structural fatigue due to cyclic mechanical loading which is similar to high cycle fatigue, and functional fatigue due to cyclic phase transformation which typical is limited to the low cycle fatigue regime. In cases where functional fatigue is due to thermally induced phase transformation in contrast to being mechanically induced, this form of fatigue can be further defined as actuation fatigue. Utilizing X-ray computed microtomography, it is shown that during actuation fatigue, internal damage such as cracks or voids, evolves in a non-linear manner. A function is generated to capture this non-linear internal damage evolution and introduced into a SMA constitutive model. Finally, it is shown how the modified SMA constitutive model responds and the ability of the model to predict actuation fatigue lifetime is demonstrated.

Ultra High Cycle Fatigue

The combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) test on full scale turbine blade in the laboratory is an important method to evaluate the life. In fact, the low cycle fatigue which is usually caused by the centrifugal force can be confirmed easily. While, the high cycle fatigue which is usually caused by the vibration and aerodynamic force is often hard to determine. So the previous scholar has proposed the contrast method to determine the high cycle load in the field. This method utilizes the new and used blades to determine the high cycle within certain limits. While it can’t be applied effectively in the whole life range with the low cycle-high cycle-ultra high cycle fatigue theory raised. So this paper put forward the modified contrast method to realize the optimization. Firstly, the CCF tests are carried out on the turbine blade systematically. Then, the CCF damage properties, including the crack propagation, the fracture morphology and the dynamic characteristic are analyzed. Lastly, the new modified contrast method is proposed with the new coordinate axes, new fitting criterions and amend method. Through comparisons we conclude that: the new method is slightly complicated, but the evaluate precision has significantly increased. So it could be used to deal with data for CCF tests on full scale turbine blade in the future.

Fatigue Mechanism

The effect of the lamellar morphology on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of the Ti-22Al-27Nb alloy was investigated. The HCF tests were performed in air at an R ratio of 0.1 in the load-control mode, whereas the LCF tests were performed in vacuum at 923 K in the strain-controlled mode. The specimens with fine lamellar microstructure exhibited a better resistance to HCF than those with coarse lamellar microstructure. The microstructure-insensitive behavior was, however, observed in the LCF tests at 923 K. The fatigue mechanism was discussed based on the concurrent observation of the initiation facet and the underlying microstructure, and the TEM observations.

Mechanical Cutting

In the last years, car bodies are increasingly made with new advanced high-strength steels, for both lightweighting and safety purposes. Among these new steels, high-manganese or TWIP steels exhibit a promising combination of strength and toughness, arising from the austenitic structure, strengthened by C, and from the twinning induced plasticity effect. Mechanical cutting such as punching or shearing is widely used for the manufacturing of car body components. This method is known to bring about a very clear plastic deformation and therefore causes a significant increase of mechanical stress and micro-hardness in the zone adjacent to the cut edge. To improve the cut edge quality, surface treatments, such as sandblasting, are often used. This surface treatment generates a compressive residual stress layer in the subsurface region. The monotonic tensile properties and deformation mechanisms of these steels have been extensively studied, as well as the effect of grain size and distribution and chemical composition on fatigue behaviour; however, there is not so much documentation about the fatigue performance of these steels cut using different strategies. Thus, the aim of this work is to analyse the fatigue behaviour of a TWIP steel after mechanical cutting with and without sandblasting in Low and High-Cycle Fatigue regimes. The fatigue behaviour has been determined at room temperature with tensile samples tested with a load ratio of 0.1 and load amplitude control to analyse High-Cycle Fatigue behaviour; and a load ratio of -1 and strain amplitude control to determine the Low-Cycle Fatigue behaviour. Samples were cut by shearing with a clearance value of 5%. Afterwards, a part of the cut specimens were manually blasted using glass microspheres of 40 to 95 microns of diameter as abrasive media. The results show a beneficial effect of the sandblasting process in fatigue behaviour in both regimes, load amplitude control (HCF) and strain amplitude control (LCF) tests, when these magnitudes are low, while no significant differences are observed with higher amplitudes. low-cycle fatigue, high-cycle fatigue, mechanical cutting, sandblasting, high manganese steel, TWIP steel
