Fatigue Model

Bolted connections are widely used in various mechanical structures due to their superior fastening properties. However, vibration and fatigue loads in the structure are likely to cause fatigue failure of the bolted joints, especially those under high temperature, such as in aero-engines. This paper mainly studies the low-cycle fatigue life of the pre-tightened bolts working at a high temperature. A novel test fixture is designed for fatigue tests, and low cycle fatigue tests of pre-tightened bolts are conducted at the temperatures of 550 °C and 650 °C, respectively. Furthermore, a new low cycle fatigue model that is based on the Von Mises equivalent stress/strain criterion is proposed. Meanwhile, the proposed model is used to predict the high-temperature low cycle fatigue life of pre-tightened bolts according to the stress/strain results obtained by finite element analysis. There is good agreement between the experimental results and those obtained by theoretical prediction, which validates the accuracy of the proposed fatigue model. Research results will provide a theoretical basis for the low cycle fatigue life prediction of pre-tightened bolts.

Weight Function Method

A weight function method based on strain parameters is proposed to determine the critical plane in low-cycle fatigue region under both constant and variable amplitude tension–torsion loadings. The critical plane is defined by the weighted mean maximum absolute shear strain plane. Combined with the critical plane determined by the proposed method, strain-based fatigue life prediction models and Wang-Brown’s multiaxial cycle counting method are employed to predict the fatigue life. The experimental critical plane orientation and fatigue life data under constant and variable amplitude tension–torsion loadings are used to verify the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is appropriate to determine the critical plane under both constant and variable amplitude loadings.
