An experiment is described in which the strain energy at the critical location for fatigue failure is maintained constant while the stresses on a given plane of the material at the same location are caused to fluctuate. Apparatus developed to produce this condition consisted of a circular disk with a wide flanged rim which was loaded along a diameter by means of pivot-pad bearings. The disk was then rotated under a constant load to produce the desired fluctuation in stresses at the center of the disk while maintaining a constant strain energy at the center. The fact that fatigue cracks were developed in the region of constant strain energy was considered to indicate that a concept of a fluctuating strain energy as a basic theory of failure by fatigue under combined stresses is not tenable.

SummaryNishihara’s combined bending and torsion out-of-phase fatigue limit data are analysed. The Tresca shear stress failure criterion predicts strengths up to 30 per cent higher than observed. It thus appears that renewed attention should be given to the basic problem of developing reliable combined stress failure criteria. It is suggested that new test methods will be required for this purpose.

Environmental stresses negatively affect the growth and development of plants. Several previous studies have elucidated the response mechanisms of plants to drought and heat applied separately; however, these two abiotic stresses often coincide in environmental conditions. The global climate change pattern has projected that combined drought and heat stresses will tend to increase in the near future. In this study, we down-regulated the expression of a cytokinin receptor gene SlHK2 using RNAi and investigated the role of this gene in regulating plant responses to individual drought, heat, and combined stresses (drought + heat) in tomato. Compared to the wild-type (WT), SlHK2 RNAi plants exhibited fewer stress symptoms in response to individual and combined stress treatments. The enhanced abiotic stress tolerance of SlHK2 RNAi plants can be associated with increased membrane stability, osmoprotectant accumulation, and antioxidant enzyme activities. Furthermore, photosynthesis machinery was also protected in SlHK2 RNAi plants. Collectively, our results show that down-regulation of the cytokinin receptor gene SlHK2, and consequently cytokinin signaling, can improve plant tolerance to drought, heat, and combined stress.

An accurate approximate method for the solution of the generalized plane stress problem of finite elastic deformation of a rotating annular disk is given. The method is applicable to both compressible and incompressible materials. Use of the nonlinear governing differential equation is avoided by considering the disk to be an aggregate of discrete coaxial rings, equations of motion, force balance and compatibility relations being formulated for the rings. Results are given for neo-Hookean disks and disks of a compressible material which has a strain energy function proposed by Blatz and Ko [7].

It is well known that residual stress of welded joints influence their fatigue lives. This influence of residual stress is manifested through strain ratcheting response at the weld toe. Among many other reasons, strain ratcheting at the weld toe is anticipated to be a reason of many premature fatigue failure of welded joints. Hence, accurate simulations of weld toe residual stress and strain responses are essential for fatigue life simulation of welded joints. This paper presents results form an ongoing study on fatigue failure of welded piping joints. A modeling scheme for simulating weld toe residual stress and strain response is developed. Uncoupled, thermo-mechanical, finite element analyses are employed for imitating the welding procedure, and thereby simulating the temperature history during welding and initial residual stresses. Simulated residual stresses are validated by comparing against the measured residual stresses. Finite element simulations indicate that both residual stress and resulting strain responses near the weld toe are the key factors in inducing fatigue cracks at the weld toe. Research needs in revealing the fatigue failure mechanisms at the weld toe are discussed.

The problem of the determination of limit bearing capacity of beam cross section under pure bending, eccentric tension, pure shear, as well as combined stress is considered in this paper. The influence functions of the bending moment and axial force, as well as the bending moment, axial and shear force on the cross section limit bearing capacity in case of rectangular and I beam cross section are derived.

In this study, the fundamental mechanical inelastic behavior of piping supports was investigated in order to consider an effective elastic-plastic evaluation method. High-acceleration vibration tests were conducted using the resonance shaking table installed in Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), and the ultimate limit states of piping supports under vibration conditions were observed. Each specimen had an outer diagonal brace. Buckling or fatigue failure occurred in the vibration test. Fatigue failure did not occur in the static load test. The static and dynamic skeleton curves were in agreement with each other when the failure mode was the same. When the response load did not reach the buckling load in the vibration test, fatigue cracks occurred after the stable response. The locations of the fatigue cracks tended to be where the local buckling occurred in the static tests. In both the vibration and the static load tests, even if the load decreased after the maximum load by buckling, the reaction force of approximately one third of the maximum load was seen, and the reaction force did not become 0 kN.

PurposeThe car body stiffness of express freight sliding side covered wagon decreased for the sliding and the resonance vibration based on the flexible car body has affected the dynamics performances. Dynamic loading will cause fatigue cracks and eventually lead to fatigue failure of the car body. This paper aims to investigate the influence of car body flexibility on the evaluation of the failure.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the railway vehicles random analysis procedure (RVRAP) is employed to study the fatigue failure of the rigid-flexibility model. Following the analysis process, the rigid-flexibility model is established and four contrastive schemes for simulation analysis are designed. To verify the results, an experimental test using the real car body structure on the vibration test plant is carried out; the RMS of dynamic stress is obtained and compared with the simulation results.FindingsThe results show that the flexibility of the car body has a crucial influence on the fatigue life.Originality/valueThe reliability is verified regarding the use of RVRAP at an appropriate stage on the antifatigue design of the vehicle.
