Dwell sensitivity of titanium alloys at ambient temperature (~250 C) is a well-known phenomenon, although the question about the exact micromechanical reasons responsible for this still remains open. In this work, the normal and dwell fatigue response of a near-alpha titanium alloy, IMI 834, is studied. Samples with three different microstructures, namely, fully lamellar, fully equiaxed and bimodal, are evaluated for their dwell fatigue behaviors. A reduction in fatigue life by at least an order of magnitude is seen in all the three microstructures. Large plastic strain accumulation (almost equal to the monotonic ductility) was observed during the dwell fatigue loading condition and this is held responsible for this large debit in fatigue life. The normal fatigue lives decreased in the order, bimodal > fully equiaxed > fully lamellar, while the dwell fatigue lives decreased in the order, fully equiaxed > fully lamellar > bimodal. Bimodal microstructure showed a dwell fatigue debit of 17, while fully lamellar and fully equiaxed showed a debit of 9 and 10, respectively.

Frequency is an important factor influencing the fatigue behavior. Regarding to the dwell fatigue, it corresponds to the effect of rise and fall time, which is also an important issue especially for the safety evaluation of structure parts under dwell fatigue loading, such as the engines of aircrafts and the pressure hulls of deep-sea submersibles. In this paper, the effect of rise and fall time (2 s, 20 s, 110 s, and 200 s) on the dwell fatigue behavior is investigated for a high strength titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Zr-3Mo-X with basket-weave microstructure. It is shown that the dwell fatigue life decreases with increasing the rise and fall time, which could be correlated by a linear relation in log–log scale for both the specimen with circular cross section and the specimen with square cross section. The rise and fall time has no influence on the crack initiation mechanism by the scanning electron microscope observation. The cracks initiate from the specimen surface and all the fracture surfaces present multiple crack initiation sites. Moreover, the facet characteristic is observed at some crack initiation sites for both the conventional fatigue and dwell fatigue tests. The paper also indicates that the dwell period of the peak stress reduces the fatigue life and the dwell fatigue life seems to be longer for the specimen with circular cross section than that of the specimen with square cross section.

Titanium alloy Ti1023 is a typical difficult-to-cut material. Tool wear is easy to occur in machining Ti1023, which has a significant negative effect on surface integrity. Turning is one of the common methods to machine Ti1023 parts and machined surface integrity has a direct influence on the fatigue life of parts. To control surface integrity and improve anti-fatigue behavior of Ti1023 parts, it has an important significance to study the influence of tool wear on the surface integrity and fatigue life of Ti1023 in turning. Therefore, the effect of tool wear on the surface roughness, microhardness, residual stress, and plastic deformation layer of Ti1023 workpieces by turning and low-cycle fatigue tests were studied. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of surface integrity on anti-fatigue behavior also was analyzed. The experimental results show that the change of surface roughness caused by worn tools has the most influence on anti-fatigue behavior when the tool wear VB is from 0.05 to 0.25 mm. On the other hand, the plastic deformation layer on the machined surface could properly improve the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens that were proved in the experiments. However, the higher surface roughness and significant surface defects on surface machined utilizing the worn tool with VB = 0.30 mm, which leads the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens to decrease sharply. Therefore, to ensure the anti-fatigue behavior of parts, the value of turning tool wear VB must be rigorously controlled under 0.30 mm during finishing machining of titanium alloy Ti1023.

The goals of this paper are to identify the impact damage behavior of plain-weave E-glass/epoxy composites and predict the fatigue life of the composites with impact-induced damage under constant amplitude loading. To identify these behaviors, the low velocity impact and fatigue after impact tests are performed for glass/epoxy composites having two types of fiber orientations. The impact damage behavior is dependent on the fiber orientation of the composites. The fatigue life of the impacted composites can be identified through the prediction model, which was proposed on the carbon/epoxy laminates by authors regardless of fiber orientations.

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of environmental conditions on the axial fatigue behavior of a carbon/epoxy plain-weave laminate with an embedded flaw subjected to a partially reversed cyclic load (stress ratio R = −0.1) in tension–compression. This specific material is more commonly used in aerospace engineering for the manufacturing of aircraft structural parts, which are directly exposed to various environmental conditions during service. Specific environmental and loading conditions that are appropriate to simulate real-life conditions are considered to observe and collect information about the material's behavior. For the investigation, dry and wet coupons were submitted to room temperature, 82 and 121 ℃ under loading frequencies of 7 and 15 Hz. A maximum allowable strain increase criterion is used to monitor the flaw growth threshold or delamination onset, during fatigue testing. The ultrasonic imaging (C-scan) technique is used to verify and confirm the delamination onset. Results show that the delamination onset strain increase criterion, along with fatigue life, generally decreased as the operating temperature and humidity were increased and that frequency had little effect on the delamination onset fatigue life. The S– N curves obtained from the tension–compression fatigue data were then compared to those of a previous work carried out in tension–tension fatigue loading. Results show a clear degradation in the delamination onset fatigue life of the coupons tested under tension–tension cyclic loading when the minimum tensile component of the cyclic load was replaced with a compressive load of the same magnitude.

Polymers operating in various weathering conditions must be assessed for lifetime performance. Particularly, ultraviolet (UV) radiations alters the chemical structure and therefore affect the mechanical and fatigue properties. The UV irradiation alters the polymer chemical structure, which results into a degradation of the mechanical and fatigue behavior of the polymer. The polymer properties degradation due to UV irradiation is the result of a competitive process of chain scission versus post-crosslinking. Although few studied investigated the effect of UV irradiation on the mechanical behaviour of thermoplastics, fewer examined the UV irradiation effect on the fatigue life of polymers. This study focuses on investigating the effect of UV irradiation on the fatigue properties of bulk semi-crystalline polymer; the low density Polyethylene (LDPE). Tensile specimens were exposed to different dose values of UV irradiation then subjected to fatigue loading. The fatigue tests were achieved under constant stress amplitude at a frequency of 1Hz. The results show an important decrease of the fatigue limit with increasing absorbed UV irradiation dose.
