Abstract To characterize the fatigue strength of mechanical material and part, a methodology combining the fatigue damage theory with the numerical simulation is proposed under three types of uniaxial loads. The equal-life fatigue curve of a shaft is used for the theoretical and numerical analysis of fatigue damage. Its theoretical fatigue strengths under different loadings are gained through theory equations. Utilizing the mean stress correction method, the stress distribution and fatigue life of the shaft are obtained through the collaborative simulation of ANSYS and nCode software. Consequently, the resultant fatigue lives are all within the value band of basic cycle number as demanded in practice, implying the correction and validation of theory analysis. The proposed strategy provides a new pathway and perspective for the analysis of fatigue damage.

A stochastic approach has been developed to evaluate fatigue strength using elements of the fracture mechanics. The article presents a method for determining the initial parameters of statistical distributions. It also considers the method for constructing a fatigue curve for a component of any size and configuration with any given probability of failure.

This paper deals with the roller chain commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of industrial machinery, including conveyors, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and so forth. It consists of a series of four components called a pin, a bush, a plate, and a roller, which are driven by a sprocket. To clarify the fatigue damage, in this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is applied to those components under three different types of states, that is, the press-fitting state, the static tensile state, and the sprocket-engaging state. By comparing those states, the stress amplitude and the average stress of each component are calculated and plotted on the fatigue limit diagram. The effect of the plastic zone on the fatigue strength is also discussed. The results show that the fatigue crack initiation may start around the middle inner surface of the bush. As am example, the FEM results show that the fatigue crack of the inner plate may start from a certain point at the hole edge. The results agree with the actual fractured position in roller chains used in industry.

The structure of the hull of the project 1288 trawler in a region of fore hold was improved to ensure fatigue strength of assemblies of the intersection of main frames with the second bottom. To this end, a study of the fatigue strength of these assemblies was carried out for the original side structure and two versions of its modernization. Values of internal forces at the points of appearance of fatigue cracks in the compartment have been determined for three design versions of the side. It was found that the greatest forces act in the middle of the fore half of the compartment. Calculations of parameters of the long-term distribution of magnitudes of ranges of total equivalent operating stresses according to the Weibull law in the points of occurrence of fatigue cracks for different design versions of the side grillage have been performed. These parameters were determined for the middle of the fore hold of the vessel and for the areas in which maximum values of bending moment ranges are in effect with and without corrosive wear. Values of total fatigue damage and durability of the studied assemblies were determined. Calculations were carried out by nominal stress method, hot spot stress method, and experimental and theoretical method. It was shown that in order to ensure fatigue strength of the assembly under consideration, it is necessary to extend the intermediate frames of the original version of the side structure to the level of the second bottom fixing them to the deck. It is also necessary to attach a cargo platform to the side thus reducing the frame span. As a result, the level of fatigue damage over 25 years of operation will decrease by about 3.5 times. As it was found, approximate consideration of the slamming effect does not significantly increase the amount of fatigue damage to the assembly. The results of the development of recommendations for modernization of the side structure can be implemented both on ships of the 1288 project and on other ships with a transverse side framing system.
