Fatigue Evaluation

One important issue in the fatigue evaluation that must be addressed is the mean stress correction procedure. ASME Div.3 is provided with the mean stress correction procedure. The predicted equivalent alternating stress intensities Seq are compared with the experimental results for push-pull fatigue tests with mean stress for JIS SCM440 and JIS SUS630 H1075. Seq per ASME Div.3 are not coincident with the experimental results. In case of high ratio of tensile mean stress to tensile strength, the difference becomes large and it is un-conservative. On the other hand Seq per KHK Standard are coincident with experimental results. The fatigue test results for pressurized cylinder tube by Davidson and Findley are also compared with predicted values per ASME Div.3 and KHK Standard. The results of comparison are same as that for above mentioned push-pull fatigue tests. Based on the experimental verification, the authors recommend that the mean stress correction procedure per KHK Standard be implemented in ASME Div.3.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the effects of mean stress on the fatigue behaviour of an All Aluminium Conductor (AAC Orchid), Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR Tern), and an Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR 750 MCM). In this sense, 72 fatigue tests on overhead conductors were performed using different values of H/w parameter. Based on the experimental results, the parameters which describe the fatigue behaviour of the conductors were determined after generating theirs S-N curves. In the assessment of the mean stress effects on the fatigue life, Goodman and Gerber’s relations were fitted to evaluate the use of such models for the conductors. It was observed that the evaluation of the mean stress effect on the overhead conductor could be made by using the fatigue relations.

In this research, an analysis was carried out to develop a measuring instrument for seawater density in salt production using a microcontroller (Arduino Uno) and YL-69 sensor, this sensor was commonly used to measure soil moisture. The experimental method was used in this research to produce initial data in the form of resistance and seawater density values, then calculations are carried out using statistical methods to find equations and produce a constant variable that connects the resistance and seawater density values. The equation was used to compile the algorithm into Arduino Uno. As for the results of this research,  From six experiments conducted, two experiments produced the same sea water density value between the actual and the predicted, namely the 2nd and 5th experiments, while for other experiments there was a difference between the actual and predicted values, however, it was not too significant, the difference occurs between the value range 0 ~ 1, to determine the level of error, use the Mean Square Error (MSE) with an error level of = 0.5 and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) with an error level of = 0.6. The contribution of this research is an algorithm that can predict the density value (baume) based on the resistance value obtained from the YL 69 sensor.

Fatigue Evaluation

Methods are described for constructing a fatigue curve based on strain-fatigue data for use in pressure vessel design. When this curve is used, the same fatigue strength-reduction factor should be used for low-cycle as for high-cycle conditions. When evaluating the effects of combined mean and alternating stress, the fatigue strength-reduction factor should be applied to both the mean and the alternating component, but then account must be taken of the reduction in mean stress which can be produced by yielding. The complete fatigue evaluation of a pressure vessel can be a major task for the designer, but it can be omitted, or at least drastically reduced, if certain requirements can be met regarding design details, inspection, and magnitude of transients. Although the emphasis in this paper is on pressure vessel design, the same principles could be applied to any structure made of ductile metal and subjected to limited numbers of load cycles.

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.

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.

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.

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to determine the efficiency of repair methods for sandwich composites used as hull materials in leisure ships. The method was applied to external, scarf, and step patch repairs using an epoxy bond. The load was described in terms of the hogging and sagging moments applied to the hull by waves. Static and fatigue tests were performed to derive the recovery rate of repaired specimens. The experimental results indicated that the recovery rate of specimens with the scarf patch was the highest at 91.80% when the hogging moment was applied. However, the difference in the recovery rate between hogging and sagging moments was the lowest for specimens with the step patch, and the recovery rate was high at 89.96% and 85.15%, respectively.

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.

Fatigue Evaluation

The ASME Code fatigue curves (S–N curves) are used in the fatigue evaluation of reactor components. For the assessment of high frequency cyclic loading (such as those produced by flow-induced vibrations), where the number of cycles is expected to be very large and cannot be estimated, the stresses are evaluated by comparison with the fatigue limit1 at 1011 cycles. Other high cycle events of finite time duration (e.g. safety relief loading), where the number of cycles is large but well defined, the fatigue evaluation is performed by comparing the calculated stress with the allowable values defined by the high cycle fatigue design curve. This paper discusses the development of fatigue design curves for austenitic and ferritic steels when the number of cycles is in the range 106 – 1011 cycles. The first part of the paper addresses austenitic stainless steel components which are used for reactor internals. Specifically, the approach described here uses temperature dependent properties (cyclic yield strength, cyclic ultimate strength) for the mean stress correction and the correction for the modulus of elasticity. The high cycle fatigue design curve is developed by applying the mean stress and the E correction on the reversing load mean data curve and applying a factor of 2 on stress. The generic methodology developed for austenitic steel was applied to carbon and low alloy steels also. The proposed fatigue design curves are part of a draft ASME Code Case being considered by the ASME Code Subgroup on Design Methods. This paper describes the technical basis for the proposed ASME Code Case for the high cycle fatigue design curves for austenitic and ferritic steels.
