In this study, the fatigue life evaluation of automatic transfer devices under stress concentrations due to the notch effect is performed. To investigate residual life of a notched component, load histories were obtained through strain measurement. A fatigue test was performed on a specimen imitating a real component and results were compared with each notch root radius of the concentration area. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also performed to evaluate the local stress fields. Miner’s rule was used to predict the fatigue life calculation. As a result, the predicted life of a notched component was in good agreement with a real component and introduced a special method for measuring load using real machine components.

The present methods for fatigue life evaluation of nuclear reactor components have large uncertainties due to the overdependence on approaches that involve empirical fatigue life estimation, such as use of test-based curves of stress/strain versus life (S∼N) and Coffin-Manson type empirical relations. To reduce the uncertainty in fatigue life evaluation, we are trying to develop a fully mechanistic modeling approach. The aim is to capture the time/cycle-dependent material ageing behavior such as stress hardening/softening through multi-axial stress-strain evolution of the components based on which the life of the component can be predicted. In this paper, we introduce an implementation of the ANL developed evolutionary cyclic plasticity model for 316 SS reactor steel within the commercial finite element (FE) software ABAQUS. A user subroutine is developed to enable the incorporation of the ANL developed evolutionary cyclic plasticity model [1] into ABAQUS. The FE model, developed in this work, can be used for predicting the time-dependent stress hardening/softening of 3D structure. A strain-controlled constant amplitude fatigue experiment scenario is 3D modeled using the developed ABAQUS based FE modeling framework and is verified through experimental data.

The three-dimensional finite element model of cabin glass with surface scratch is built using the finite element software ANSYS, which is aimed to analyze the detailed stress around the scratch route tip. Then the fatigue notch factor can be gained through utilizing of results from three-dimensional model, which is followed by the estimation of fatigue life based on local stress-strain method. It is found that the stress around scratch route tip is nearly linearly increased with the increasing of tip depth (0.2mm<h<0.8mm) and the fatigue performances of cabin glass with surface scratch are sensitive to scratch depth. Finally, fatigue tests are carried out with the specimens of different scratch route tip depths, and validation against fatigue life by local stress-strain method and experimental data shows a good agreement, which indicates that the scratch model and the local stress-strain method for the effects of scratch on cabin glass fatigue performances are valid.

The principle of fatigue life computation was presented on the basis of local stress-strain method. It was set up that the finite element model of stepped shaft with different radii of round corner and radius ratios. The local stress and strain were computed at shaft shoulder fillet under torsion load. The fatigue crack initiation life was determined by means of local stress-strain method under symmetric cyclic torsion load. The result showed that the fatigue life increased with the values of fillet increase and decreased with the values of radius ratio increase, and the smaller of the transition radius was, the shorter of the life would be.

Pressure vessels are subjected to repeated loads during use and charging, which can causefine physical damage even in the elastic region. If the load is repeated under stress conditions belowthe yield strength, internal damage accumulates. Fatigue life evaluation of the structure of thepressure vessel using finite element analysis (FEA) is used to evaluate the life cycle of the structuraldesign based on finite element method (FEM) technology. This technique is more advanced thanfatigue life prediction that uses relational equations. This study describes fatigue analysis to predictthe fatigue life of a pressure vessel using stress data obtained from FEA. The life prediction results areuseful for improving the component design at a very early development stage. The fatigue life of thepressure vessel is calculated for each node on the model, and cumulative damage theory is used tocalculate the fatigue life. Then, the fatigue life is calculated from this information using the FEanalysis software ADINA and the fatigue life calculation program WINLIFE.
