Abstract The effect of high frequency pulse detonation (HFPD) and HVOF thermally sprayed WC-Co coatings on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of 2024-T4 aluminum was investigated. The fatigue life distributions of specimens in the polished and coated conditions are presented as a function of the probability of failure. The monotonic and cyclic deformation behaviors of the as-received and as-coated specimens were investigated. The conclusions show that, (i) the HFPD sprayed specimens exhibited slightly higher fatigue lives compared to the uncoated specimens, (ii) the HVOF sprayed specimens exhibited significantly higher fatigue lives compared to the uncoated specimens, and (iii) the as-coated specimen was cyclically stable.

Samples of Q345 steel welded joints were tested to failure under low cycle fatigue(LCF),high cycle fatigue(HCF) and combined fatigue(CCF) using an apparatus that is capable of providing interactive LCF/HCF loading. The stress ratio R is 0.5 and the frequency of HCF is about 19kHz. The result indicates that not only high frequency minor cycles superimposed on low frequency major cycles , but also low frequency minor cycles superimposed on high frequency major cycles can do remarkable damage to fatigue performance of welded joints. The CCF strength is characterized by amplitude envelope. If CCF fatigue life is characterized by LCF life, adverse effect of HCF component is underestimated. If CCF fatigue life is characterized by HCF life, adverse effect of LCF component is overrated.

In a series of applications, steel reinforced concrete structures are subjected to fatigue loads during their service life, what in most cases happens in corrosive environments. Surface treatments have been proved to represent proper processes in order to improve both fatigue and corrosion resistances. In this work, the effect of corrosion and sandblasting on the high cycle fatigue behavior reinforcing steel bars is investigated. The investigated material is the reinforcing steel bar of technical class B500C, of nominal diameter of 12 mm. Steel bars specimens were first exposed to corrosion in alternate salt spray environment for 30 and 60 days and subjected to both tensile and fatigue tests. Then, a series of specimens were subjected to common sandblasting, corroded and mechanically tested. Metallographic investigation and corrosion damage evaluation regarding mass loss and martensitic area reduction were performed. Tensile tests were conducted after each corrosion exposure period prior to the fatigue tests. Fatigue tests were performed at a stress ratio, R, of 0.1 and loading frequency of 20 Hz. All fatigue tests series as well as tensile test were also performed for as received steel bars to obtain the reference behavior. The results have shown that sandblasting hardly affects the tensile behavior of the uncorroded material. The effect of sandblasting on the tensile behavior of pre-corroded specimens seems to be also limited. On the other hand, fatigue results indicate an improved fatigue behavior for the sandblasted material after 60 days of corrosion exposure. Martensitic area reductions, mass loss and depth of the pits were significantly smaller for the case of sandblasted materials, which confirms an increased corrosion resistance.

Pretensioned concrete beams are widely used as bridge girders for simply supported bridges. Understanding the fatigue behavior of such beams is very important for design and construction to prevent fatigue failure. The fatigue behavior of pretensioned concrete beams is mainly influenced by the fatigue of the prestressing strands. The evaluation of previous test results from the literature indicated a reduced fatigue life in the long-life region compared with current design methods and specifications. Therefore, nine additional high-cycle fatigue tests were conducted on pretensioned concrete beams with strand stress ranges of about 100 MPa (14.5 ksi). The test results confirmed that current design methods and specifications overestimate the fatigue life of embedded strands in pretensioned concrete beams.
