Thin-walled tubular specimens, made from woven-roving glass fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) with two fiber orientations, [±45°]2s and [0,90°]2s, were tested under torsional fatigue tests at negative stress ratios R,R=−1,−0.75,−0.5,−0.25, 0. The mean-amplitude diagram of the [0,90°]2s specimens was found to be divided into two regions; region (1) in which the mean stress is ineffective and region (2) in which the mean stress has a detrimental effect on the amplitude component. All examined failure criteria were found to be valid for the [0,90°]2s specimens, without any modifications; using the amplitude component and the corresponding fatigue strength in region (1), and the equivalent static stress with the corresponding static strength in region (2). For the [±45]2s specimens, having the mean stress being effective in the whole mean-amplitude diagram, the equivalent static stress was used with the corresponding static strength in different failure criteria. None of the available criteria succeeded in predicting failure for the studied case; consequently, was introduced, which a new modifying term SWT2/F1sF1f was introduced, which made Norris-Distortional, Tsai-Hahn, and Tsai-Hill criteria suitable for this case.

The effect of torsional mean stress on the fatigue behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) is studied by testing thin-walled, woven-roving tubular specimens with two fiber orientations, [±45°]2s and [0,90°]2s, at negative stress ratios (R),R=−1,−0.75,−0.5,−0.25, 0. The [±45°]2s specimens were found to have higher fatigue strength than the [0,90°]2s specimens at all stress ratios. This is attributed to the difference in local stress components, the [±45°]2s specimens being subjected to tension-compression local stress components, while the [0,90°]2s specimens being subjected to pure local shear stress. For the studied stress ratios; the mean stress component had a detrimental effect on the amplitude component for the [±45°]2s specimens; while it was ineffective for the [0,90°]2s specimens in a certain region in the mean-amplitude diagram, region (1), then it had a detrimental effect in the rest of the diagram, region (2). The S–N curves for positive stress ratios were extrapolated from those for negative stress ratios, which were found experimentally, for the [0,90°]2s specimens. The positive stress ratio points, having the same local stress state as the negative ones, showed an acceptable behavior tending to decrease the amplitude component for the same life.

In both cortical and trabecular bone loaded in fatigue, the stress-strain loops translate along the strain axis. Previous studies have suggested that this translation is the result of creep associated with the mean stress applied in the fatigue test. In this study, we measured the residual strain (corresponding to the translation of the stress-strain loops) in fatigue tests on bovine trabecular bone and compared it to an upper bound estimate of the creep strain in each test. Our results indicate that the contribution of creep to the translation of the stress-strain loops is negligible in bovine trabecular bone. These results, combined with models for fatigue in lower density bone, suggest that that creep does not contribute to the fatigue of normal human bone. Creep may make a significant contribution to fatigue in low-density osteoporotic bone in which trabeculae have resorbed, reducing the connectivity of the trabecular structure.

Abstract Mean stress effects in pressurized steel blocks were examined under constant amplitude fatigue loading. The tests were performed to provide experimental data needed to study the effect of mean stress on fatigue lives of subject specimen, and to substantiate the use of analytical expressions to account for the mean stress. The mean stress was the result of subjecting the specimens to an autofrettage pressure which induced compressive residual stresses at the crossbore intersection of the specimens. Fatigue tests were carried out under both tensile and compressive mean stress levels. Test results were compared to several mean stress accounting relationships such as the Smith-Watson Topper, Bergmann and Seeger, modified Goodman, Gerber and Soderberg. Test results indicated that the modified Goodman equation is favorable in accounting for the effect of both tensile and compressive mean stresses on fatigue life (up to a compressive mean stress to ultimate stress ratio of −0.2). The behavior under compressive mean stress to ultimate stress ratio of less than −0.2 indicated that a linear correction relationship was required.

Abstract The physical significance of “earthquake quanta” is discussed in the perspective of a proposed concept “seismon.” It is pointed out that the physical significance of earthquake quanta may be understood in the way similar to that of phonon in solid-state physics. Using the statistical properties of the seismons, the property such that for large earthquakes the mean stress drop is approximately constant, while for small events the mean stress drop increases with the seismic moment, may be obtained, without detailed considerations of the failure criteria and the interaction between different earthquake quanta.

A number of low-cycle fatigue tests has been carried out at room temperature on two materials commonly used in pressure vessel fabrication. For strain-controlled tests, the influence of different mean strains is studied; similarly, the effect of varying the mean stress is analyzed for stress-controlled tests. Relations involving elastic and plastic strain ranges, and the variations of strains or stresses during the fatigue tests are discussed.

Based on the precedent design fatigue curves and recent fatigue data obtained from materials with different mechanical properties, new design fatigue curves with high general versatility in air have been developed by The Japan Welding Engineering Society (JWES). Structural materials with different tensile strength are utilized in fatigue tests to verify the validity of these design fatigue curves and discuss the mean stress effect. The materials employed in this study are austenitic stainless steel (SS) SUS316LTP, carbon steel (CS) STPT370, low-alloy steels (LASs) SQV2A and SCM435H, all of which are used in the structural components of nuclear power plants of Japan. The best-fit curves (BFCs) are formulated by using the parameter of tensile strength to describe the relationship between strain (stress) amplitude and fatigue life [1]. The results of fully reversed axial fatigue tests conducted with small-scale test specimens of those materials in air at ambient temperature show good agreement with the developed BFCs. The results of fatigue tests also indicate that the mean stress effect is remarkable in materials with higher tensile strength. The applicability of Modified Goodman and Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) approaches to the design fatigue curves is compared and discussed when considering mean stress effect. The correction of mean stress effect with SWT approach shows a good agreement with the developed BFCs.

Deviatoric Stresses

Wave propagation is a constant-fabric macrophenomenon, suitable to microinterpretation. Both velocity and attenuation characterize state, including inherent and stress-induced anisotropy. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of isotropic and deviatoric stresses on wave propagation in particulate materials at low strains and to interpret results at the microlevel. A resonant-column device was midified to allow for the application of axial extension and axial compression deviatoric loading. The fixed-free boundary condition of the sample was maintained. Data for round, hard-grained sand show that shear wave velocity and attenuation are primarily dependent on the mean stress on the polarization plane, with minimal effect of the deviatoric component, in agreement with prior observations at stress ratios less than 2–3. Attenuation is strongly correlated with the mean stress in the polarization plane and the level of shear strain. Damping does not vanish at low strains, contrary to predictions based on hysteretic behaviour; hence, other loss mechanisms must take place at low strains. Low-strain wave parameters are adequately corrected for mid-strain using modified hyperbolic models. Measured velocity and damping trends during isotropic and anisotropic loading qualitatively agree with predictions based on regular arrays. Key words: mechanical waves, resonant column, damping, shear modulus, stress anisotropy, random vibration.

The influence of mean strain on fatigue life was investigated for Type 316 stainless steel at room temperature in ambient environment. Two types of mean strain were simulated in the fatigue tests: constant and increasing (ratcheting) mean strains. In order to apply the constant mean strain, prestraining was induced prior to fatigue tests. Although the stress amplitudes became larger due to the prestraining, fatigue lives were almost the same as those obtained using non-prestrained specimens for the same strain range. Change in the maximum peak stress and stress amplitude due to the prestraining had little influence on the fatigue life. It was shown that the mean strain showed little influence on the fatigue life under the same strain range. The ratcheting mean strain was observed during the fatigue tests under mean stress. The fatigue life was reduced by applying the mean stress for the same strain range. The degree of the reduction was increased with the magnitude of the ratcheting mean strain. It was deduced that the increasing mean strain enhanced the crack mouth opening and increased the effective strain range. It was concluded that the ratcheting mean strain reduced the fatigue life for the same strain range, and the reduction in fatigue life could be predicted conservatively by assuming the crack mouth was never closed during the fatigue tests.

In the development of better methods of assessing damage accumulation, one of the requirements is an understanding of the cyclic constitutive behavior of the material. It is known that the cyclic stress-strain behavior is affected by temperature and possibly Rε ratio (εmin/εmax) and that the properties change as cycles are accumulated. This report presents some results, particularly the development of a mean stress in the material, obtained during low cycle fatigue tests of Inconel 718. The tests varied temperature and Rε ratio to determine their effects on the cyclic constitutive relation. Changes in the cyclic stress-strain behavior as a function of cycles were also examined. It was possible to relate the mean stress to either the total or plastic strain ranges for all temperatures. There was sufficient scatter in the data to prevent an unambiguous interpretation of the effect of Rε ratio on the mean stress, however.

The paper deals with a comparison of fatigue life calculations, obtained on the basis of classical Basquin diagrams and approximated diagrams acquired with the use of the section method, which allows us to fit the diagrams shape to real material properties. While comparing the calculation results, literature data concerning fatigue tests of welded cruciform specimens from high performance low-alloy steel HSLA-80 presented by Kihl and Sarkani as well as of smooth specimens out of the aluminum alloy 75S-T6 by Grover et al. has been used. It has been noticed that the calculations performed with the use of fatigue diagrams approximated using the section method reflect the true behavior of the material. The models by Niesłony-Böhm and Smith-Watson-Topper compensating the influence of the mean stress gave similar results.
