A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the thermomechanical fatigue behavior of SiC(SCS-6)/Ti-6-4 composite. Three types of tests were conducted. In the first, specimens were subjected to load-controlled mechanical cycling under isothermal conditions. The other two types of test involved simultaneous cycling of load and temperature: in-phase and out-of-phase cycles. The effect of temperature cyclic ranges of 250°C to 528°C were evaluated for the out-of-phase (low temperature-high stress) conditions. A single temperature range of 250°C was employed for the in-phase (high temperature-high stress) condition. Fatigue-life diagrams were developed to evaluate the fatigue performance of the composite based on certain damage mechanism maps. In addition, micromechanical stresses in the fiber and matrix were computed using a generalized plane strain finite element analysis. The intention of this analytical effort was to provide the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing material behavior for guiding the development of life prediction methodology.

The aim of this study is to investigate fully reversed electric fatigue behavior of a piezoelectric composite actuator (PCA). For that purpose, fatigue tests with different loading conditions have been conducted and the performance degradation has been monitored. During a preset number of loading cycles, non-destructive acoustic emission (AE) tests were used for monitoring the damage evolution in real time. The displacement-cycle curves were obtained in fully reversed cyclic bending loading. The microstructures and fracture surfaces of PCA were examined to reveal their fatigue damage mechanism. The results indicated that the AE technique was applicable to fatigue damage assessment in the piezoelectric composite actuator. It was shown that the initial damage mechanism of PCAs under fully reversed electric cyclic loading originated from the transgranular fracture in the PZT ceramic layer; with increasing cycles, local intergranular cracking initiated and the either developed onto the surface of the PZT ceramic layer or propagated into the internal layer, which were some different depending on the drive frequencies and the lay-up sequence of the PCA.

As the ideal candidates for high temperature structural materials, carbon/carbon (C/C) composites are no doubt involved in fatigue loading. Therefore, the study on fatigue behavior is meaningful. In this paper, the research on fatigue behavior of C/C composites was reviewed and the characteristic of fatigue behavior was summarized. Some viewpoints for further investigations for the study on the fatigue behavior of C/C composites are also made in this paper.

Contact fatigue failures of gears, especially those used in heavy duty conditions such as wind turbine gears, become important issues in mechanical transmission industry. In the present work, a continuous damage mechanism and Voronoi-based finite element model is developed to investigate the contact fatigue of a wind turbine gear. Plane strain assumption is adopted to simplify the gear contact model. Voronoi tessellations are utilized to represent the microstructure topology of the gear material, and continuous damage mechanism is implemented to reflect the material degradation within critical substrate area. With the developed framework, the contact pressure distribution, intergranular mechanical response and the progressive fatigue damage at the grain boundaries during repeated gear meshing are evaluated and discussed in detail. The depths of the maximum shear stress reversal and the crack initiation agree well with previously reported findings. The influence of microstructure on the gear contact fatigue behavior is also investigated.

Abstract In this paper, the static and fatigue behavior of carbon fiber/Epoxy composites laminate are investigated. The degradation and damage evolution in the composite laminate tests process were monitored using the acoustic emission technique. The acoustic signals collected during the tests were analyzed. The results of the acoustic emission signal accumulated during static and fatigue tests are compared in order to identify the accumulated damage mechanism of carbon fiber/Epoxy composites laminate. The accumulated damage is manifested by matrix cracking, fiber/matrix interface debonding, shear failure, delamination, and fiber break.
