Motivated by a micromechanical determinist-probabilistic model coupled with damage recently developed by the authors, a new generalization is proposed to describe the nonlinear elasto-inelastic cyclic strain-stress behavior of polycrystals notably under biaxial cyclic loading paths. In this context, this generalization considers a compressible and linear anisotropic granular elastic strain behavior coupled with damage. The model is expressed in the framework of the time dependent plasticity for a small strain assumption. It is assumed that a damage variable initiates at the mesoscopic (granular) level where the plastic strain localization phenomenon takes place. The associated thermodynamic force of the damage variable is determined using the concept of total granular energy (elastic and inelastic). The transition of the elastic strain from the single to the polycrystal is modified due to its explicit coupling with damage. Comparisons between predicted and experimental results are conducted describing the low-cycle fatigue behavior of the aluminum alloy 2024 under different complex cyclic loading paths. It is demonstrated that the model has a reasonable ability in describing the cyclic behavior of this alloy. Qualitatively, the model is tested under different cyclic loading paths with stress-controlled condition describing especially the ratcheting behavior of the alloy. In fact, the effects of the applied mean stress on the predicted overall elasto-inelastic behavior and on the fatigue life are carefully studied. It shows the dependence of the fatigue life on the mean stress value.

A micromechanical model of damaged elasto-inelastic behavior is proposed to predict the plastic fatigue life for fcc metallic polycrystals under multiaxial loading paths. This model is expressed in the time-dependent plasticity for a small strain assumption. In order to generalize and then to increase the model applicability (with respect to other works of the author) in describing the cyclic stress-strain evolution during plastic fatigue, it is therefore assumed that a damage variable initiates and then evolves at the grain level where the phenomenon of the localized plastic deformation occurs. The associated thermodynamic force of the damage variable is determined as a total granular energy (elastic and inelastic). The transition of the elastic strain from the single to the polycrystal, which is classically performed by averaging procedures in this type of modeling, is modified due to the coupling of such a strain with damage. The developed model is tested under different multiaxial cyclic loading situations (tension-compression and tension-torsion with different out-of-phase angles). The effects the loading paths and the grains aggregate type on the fatigue life are appropriately investigated. It is demonstrated that the model can correctly describe the overall and local damaged behavior of polycrystals.

Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) and creep-fatigue interaction (CFI) tests of K447A are conducted at 760oC in order to investigate the effects of different dwell times and strain ratios on the fatigue behavior and life. For the cases of stain ratio Rε=-1 with balanced hold time, the tensile and compressive mean stresses will generate. For the case of stain ratio Rε=-1 with compressive holding 60s, the tensile mean stress will produce. For the case of stain ratio Rε=-1 with tensile holding 60s, the compressive mean stress will produce. For the cases of stain ratio Rε=0.1 and Rε=-1with no hold time, the tensile mean stress will produce. The cyclic damage accumulation (CDA) method and modified CDA method were employed to predict the fatigue life for K447A, respectively. The fatigue life predicted by CDA method is within the scatter band of 18.2X. The fatigue life predicted by the modified CDA method agrees very well with the experimental life and the predicted life is well within the scatter band of 3.1X, which means that the modified CDA method is able to consider the influences of dwell time and strain ratio on the fatigue life of K447A.

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.

Experiments on U75V rail steel were carried out to investigate the cyclic feature, ratcheting behavior and low-cycle fatigue under both strain- and stress-controlled loadings at room temperature. It was found that U75V rail steel shows strain amplitude dependent cyclic softening feature, i.e., the responded stress amplitude under strain-controlled decreases with the increasing number of cycles and reaches a stable value after about 20th cycle. Ratcheting strain increases with an increasing stress amplitude and mean stress, except for stress ratio, and the ratcheting strain in failure also increases with an increasing stress amplitude, mean stress and stress ratio. The low-cycle fatigue lives under cyclic straining decrease linearly with an increasing strain amplitude, the fatigue lives under cyclic stressing decrease with an increasing mean stress except for zero mean stress, and decrease with an increasing stress amplitude. Ratcheting behavior with a high mean stress reduces fatigue life of rail steel by comparing fatigue lives under stress cycling with those under strain cycling. Research findings are helpful to evaluate fatigue life of U75V rail steel in the railways with passenger and freight traffic.

Low cycle fatigue data on ECY-768 reported in a companion paper were used to evaluate fatigue life prediction models. In this study, low cycle fatigue tests are performed as the variables of total strain range and temperatures. The relations between plastic and total strain energy densities and number of cycles to failure are examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of Cobalt-based super alloy at different temperatures. The fatigue lives is evaluated using predicted by Coffin-Manson method and strain energy methods is compared with the measured fatigue lives at different temperatures. The microstructure observing was performed for how affect able to low-cycle fatigue life by increasing the temperature.

Mean Stress Effect

The goal of the present paper is to discuss the reliability of a strain-based multiaxial Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) criterion in estimating the fatigue lifetime of metallic structural components subjected to multiaxial sinusoidal loading with zero and non-zero mean value. Since it is well-known that a tensile mean normal stress reduces the fatigue life of structural components, three different models available in the literature are implemented in the present criterion in order to take into account the above mean stress effect. In particular, such a criterion is formulated in terms of strains by employing the displacement components acting on the critical plane and, then, by defining an equivalent strain related to such a plane. The Morrow model, the Smith-Watson-Topper model and the Manson-Halford model are applied to define such an equivalent strain. The effectiveness of the new formulations is evaluated through comparison with some experimental data reported in the literature, related to biaxial fatigue tests performed on metallic specimens under in-and out-of-phase loadings characterised by non-zero mean stress values.

Component Development

Fatigue is the most critical failure mode of many mechanical component. Therefore, fatigue life assessment under fluctuating loads during component development is essential. The most important requirement for any fatigue life assessment is knowledge of the relationships between stresses, strains, and fatigue life for the material under consideration. These relationships, for any given material, are mostly unique and dependent on its fatigue behavior. Since the work of Wöhler in the 1850’s, the uniaxial stress versus cycles to fatigue failure, which is known as the S-N curve, is typically utilized for high-cycle fatigue. In general, high cycle fatigue implies linear elastic behavior and causes failure after more than 104 or 105 cycles. However. the transition from low cycle fatigue to high cycle fatigue, which is unique for each material based on its properties, has not been well examined. In this paper, this transition is studied and a material dependent number of cycles for the transition is derived based on the material properties. Some implications of this derivation, on assessing and approximating the crack initiation fatigue life, are also discussed.

Amorphous solids, such as certain polymers, alloys, and polymer-based composites,are increasingly used materials in engineering components and thus, their fatigue behavioris of utmost importance. The article presents a unified approach suitable for modeling bothisothermal high cycle and low cycle fatigue behavior. The emphasis is placed on the ductilefatigue in which fatigue damage represents the material degeneration during the creation ofmicro-cracks governing majority of the total fatigue life (up to 95%). The model’s capability fortechnologically important polycarbonate (PC) polymer is addressed. The results, in accordancewith experimental observations, favor ductile fatigue behavior, i.e. damage fields remain smallfor most of the fatigue life and do not cause the macroscopic stress reduction. Due to thisproperty, fatigue life of an entire structural element can be evaluated by exploiting singlelocations at which the fatigue damage decisively emerges.
