Inconel 713C

Completely reversed axial fatigue results are reported for Waspaloy and Inconel 713C at room temperature. Fatigue strength and ductility are evaluated using power functions of the fatigue life. The exponents and coefficients of these two equations are looked upon as four fatigue properties of the material. They appear in the equations which are developed to relate cyclic stress, plastic strain, total strain, plastic strain energy per cycle, total plastic strain energy to fracture, and fatigue life. These equations and the four fatigue properties permit the evaluation of the relative fatigue resistance of various metals at different fatigue lives when subjected to strain, stress, or plastic strain energy cycling. The “best” selection of material to resist fatigue is found to depend on the type of cycling and the desired life. At room temperature, the wrought Waspaloy is found to be more fatigue resistant than the cast Inconel 713C, particularly in resisting strain or plastic strain energy cycling in the low cycle fatigue region. For longer lives the difference in fatigue resistance between the two diminishes, especially for stress cycling. It is believed that the method of fatigue evaluation used here is generally applicable to the engineering problem of material selection to resist fatigue, and should in some cases replace methods based on conventional rotating bending fatigue tests which only evaluate the fatigue strength at long lives.

Plastic Strain Energy

The accumulated plastic strain energy density at a dangerous point is studied to estimate the low cycle fatigue life that is composed of fatigue initiation life and fatigue crack propagation life. The modified Ramberg–Osgood constitutive relation is applied to characterize the stress–strain relationship of the strain-hardening material. The plastic strain energy density under uni-axial tension and cyclic load are derived, which are used as threshold and reference values, respectively. Then, a framework to assess the lives of fatigue initiation and fatigue crack propagation by accumulated plastic strain energy density is proposed. Finally, this method is applied to two types of aluminum alloy, LC9 and LY12 for low-cycle fatigue, and agreed well with the experiments.

Low-cycle fatigue tests were carried out in air in a wide temperature range from room temperature to 650oC to investigate the role of temperature on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of two types of stainless steels, cold-worked (CW) 316L austenitic stainless steel and 429 EM ferritic stainless steel. CW 316L stainless steel underwent additional hardening at room temperature and in 250-600oC: plasticity-induced martensite transformation at room temperature and dynamic strain aging in 250-600oC. As for 429 EM stainless steel, it underwent remarkable hardening in 200-400oC due to dynamic strain aging, resulting in a continuous increase in cyclic peak stress until failure. Three fatigue parameters, such as stress amplitude, plastic strain amplitude and plastic strain energy density, were evaluated. The results revealed that plastic strain energy density is nearly invariant through a whole life and, thus, recommended as a proper fatigue parameter for cyclically non-stabilized materials.

Although the potential for cumulative damage of structures during long duration earthquakes is generally recognized, most design codes do not explicitly takes into account the damage potential of such events. In this paper, a strain-based low-cycle fatigue model commonly used for the prediction of fatigue life in metals is adapted for cumulative damage assessment of structures under seismic conditions. By defining the number of load cycles in terms of the total plastic strain energy dissipated by the structure, the model is presented in a form capable of predicting the plastic strain energy capacity of the structure at the ultimate limit state. The plastic strain energy is expected to decrease rapidly with increased displacement in the small displacement range and to decrease gradually in a near linear manner with increased displacement in the large displacement range. The model is shown to calibrate reasonably well with small-scale aluminum cantilever specimens tested under large-amplitude reversed cyclic loading. At the ultimate limit state, the modified Park and Ang damage model may be considered as a linear approximation to the low-cycle fatigue model in the large displacement range.
