Failure Life

Types of multiaxial fatigue tests and their experimental results are presented in this paper. There are typical three types in multiaxial fatigue tests: the combining push-pull and reversed torsion loading test using hollow cylinder specimen, the biaxial tension-compression test using cruciform specimen and the inner pressure applied the push-pull loading test using the hollow cylinder specimen. In the combining a push-pull loading and a reversed torsion loading test, failure life under non-proportional loading in which principal directions of stress and strain were changed in a cycle was shortened compared to proportional loading in which those are fixed. Fatigue lives were well-correlated using a non-proportional strain range considering the effect of strain path and material dependence. In the biaxial tension-compression test, the failure life decreased with increase of the principal strain ratio. In the inner pressure applied the push-pull loading test, cyclic deformation behaviour due to complex loading paths of multiaxial fatigue tests with the inner pressure associated with push-pull and rev. torsion acted to reduce the failure lives. Experimental investigation of multiaxial failure life and elucidation of their governing mechanism is essential and it can broaden the applicability of structural components.

In this study, 16Mo3 steel was analysed for fatigue tests under tension-compression and oscillatory bending conditions. The analysis involved a comparison of fatigue test results obtained using the Manson-Coffin-Basquin, Langer and Kandil models and the models proposed by Kurek-Łagoda. It was observed that it is possible to substitute the basic tension-compression test performed in large testing machines with oscillatory bending tests carried out on a simple, modern test stand. The tests were performed under oscillatory bending on a prototype machine. The testing of 16Mo3 steel proved that the best-known Mason-Coffin-Basquin fatigue characteristic describes the results of all of the experimental tests very well, but the model can only be used when it is possible to divide strains into elastic and plastic components. It should be emphasised here that there is no such possibility in the case of tests performed under oscillatory bending conditions. It was proven that the proposed test method can substitute the tension-compression test very well and be a much more cost efficient way to obtain LCF material fatigue properties.

Interlaminar Shear

A modified test fixture to measure the shear properties of composite laminates was designed and manufactured based upon Iosipescu shear test method. Tests on interlaminar shear propertis of T300/BMI composite laminates were conducted according to ASTM D 5379 test standard. Interlaminar shear stress/strain curves and shear failure modes were obtained. The test results showed that the modified shear test fixture and test method were effective in measuring the shear properties of composite laminates.
