In the present study, the effect of surface roughness of the metal lamina at the interface of fibre metal laminates (FMLs) on the crack propagation behaviours was investigated for different fibre orientation. The FMLs was made by combining the aluminium and the carbon fibre-epoxy composite lamina. The increasing of the aluminium surface roughness at the interface causes the tensile strength to increase for every fibre orientation. The highest tensile strength is 282 and 367 MPa., respectively for fibre orientation 0°/90° and -45°/45° when the surface roughness is 2.89 mm. The increasing surface roughness causes the development of the delamination taking place at the interface is more difficult, and it leads to the shear strength at the interface to increase. Because of this, the tensile strength increases. However, the lifetime is not only influenced by the interface shear strength but also the stress concentration just in front of the crack tip as well as the surface roughness itself leading to the crack to be initiated from the rougher surface. The longest fatigue life is 180 000 cycles in the case of the fibre orientation 0°/90° with the surface roughness of 1.78 mm, and in the case of fibre orientation of -45°/+45° the longest fatigue life is 420 000 cycles when the surface roughness is 0.33 mm. The results of the study show that the surface roughness affects the tensile strength and crack propagation behaviour.

The surface roughness affects the bone response to dental implants. A primary aim of the roughness is to increase the bone-implant interface shear strength. Surface roughness is generally characterized by means of surface roughness parameters. It was demonstrated that the normally used parameters cannot discriminate between surfaces expected to give a high interface shear strength from surfaces expected to give a low interface shear strength. It was further demonstrated that the skewness parameter can do this discrimination. A problem with this parameter is that it is sensitive to isolated peaks and valleys. Another roughness parameter which on theoretical grounds can be supposed to give valuable information on the quality of a rough surface is kurtosis. This parameter is also sensitive to isolated peaks and valleys. An implant surface was assumed to have a fairly well-defined and homogenous “semiperiodic” surface roughness upon which isolated peaks were superimposed. In a computerized simulation, it was demonstrated that by using small sampling lengths during measurement, it should be possible to get accurate values of the skewness and kurtosis parameters.

The effect of surface machining on fatigue life in high pressure hydrogen gas was investigated. The test was conducted under the elastic range under 45MPa gaseous hydrogen environment by the ground specimen which were machined so that the surface roughness to be Rmax = 19μm(Mark: 19s), 26μm(26s) and 93μm(93s) and by the polished specimen which are prepared so that the surface roughness to be Rmax = 1μm(1s), 3.6μm(3.6s) and 10μm(10s). The hydrogen fatigue life of ground specimens was considerably reduced with increasing surface roughness as compared to the fatigue life in air at the same surface condition. On the other hand, for the annealed conditions of the ground specimen, the reduction by hydrogen effect was fairly small. The residual stress for the ground specimen at the surface rises sharply in tension while the residual stress for the annealed specimen was nearly equal to zero. We have shown that the hydrogen fatigue damage can be evaluated by obtaining the information about residual stress on surface, stress concentration by maximum surface roughness and the threshold stress intensity SH above which hydrogen fatigue damage occurs.

The aim of the study is to investigate and to prove that the fatigue failure of steel is initiated from the surface. Hence the preventif action of smoothening the surface that has been loaded by fatigue loading is very important. The specimen of AISI 1045 Steel is loaded by means of rotary bending fatigue. The fatigue loading will be interupted as the fatigue life reaching 50% of fatigue life and 75% of fatigue life. During the interuption the specimen will be grinded and polished, before tested completely until fatigue fracture occured. The fatigue life of each group of scpecimen based on the art of loading will be compared to the specimen tested by fatigue loading without interuption.The Miner rule is used to evaluated the test result. The influence of interuption and surface treatment is evaluated and analyzed. ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki dan membuktikan bahwa kegagalan kelelahan baja dimulai dari permukaan. Oleh karena itu tindakan pencegahan dengan memperhalus permukaan sangat penting untuk mencegah beban kelelahan baja. Spesimen dari AISI 1045 Steel dimuat dengan cara uji kelelahan lentur putar. Kelelahan pemuatan akan disela sebagai umur kelelahan mencapai 50% dari umur kelelahan dan 75% dari umur kelelahan. Selama gangguan lainnya yang spesimen akan digiling dan dipoles, sebelum diuji benar-benar sampai patah akibat kelelahan yang terjadi. Umur kelelahan dari setiap kelompok specimen diuji berdasarkan beban akan dibandingkan dengan spesimen oleh kelelahan bongkar tanpa aturan. The Miner rule digunakan untuk mengevaluasi hasil tes. Pengaruh gangguan lainnya dan perlakuan permukaan dievaluasi dan dianalisis.
