Multiple Site Damage (MSD) is one of the significant damaging factors that limit the airworthiness of aging fleet aircrafts. In case of MSD multiple fatigue cracks initiates and propagates at the rivet holes. Those cracks are relatively short in length, but with a sufficiently large number of them and an unfavorable arrangement along the rivet joint, they can join together and form a crack of a dangerous length. To prevent this type of damage it is necessary to have adequate methods for predicting the boundary state of riveted joints during MSD. A useful approach is a numerical experiment based on Monte-Carlo simulation of the MSD main random factors – the formation of initial cracks and their growth. This paper presents a probabilistic model for predicting the initial stage of MSD – destruction of at least one bridge between the adjacent holes. A level I model is considered, which describes the process of fatigue failure of specimens without rivets but with multiple holes, which are typical for riveted joints. The initiation of fatigue cracks and their growth are modeled taking into account the laws of damage development obtained experimentally on specimens with multiple cracks. So, to simulate the random initiation of cracks in time the Weibull distribution is used. The parameters of this distribution depend on the applied stress. The growth of cracks is described by the Paris' equation, taking into account the experimentally confirmed correlation between the coefficients of this equation. The model assumes that each initiated crack propagates according to a random value of the Paris' equation exponent. The distribution of such a random value corresponds to a logarithmically normal law with experimentally obtained parameters. The criterion for the possible join of opposite cracks growing from adjacent holes is the uniting of plastic deformation zones at the tips of such cracks. The results of modeling are presented in the form of multiple site damage realization field of points in the coordinates of the number of cycles before the initiation of cracks vs. the number of cycles before the destruction of the bridge between holes.

As more aircrafts reach or exceed their design life, it is becoming very important to research multiple cracks damage, especially the multiple site damage (MSD) in order to re-evaluate their service life and damage tolerance/durability performance. The existing of MSD may remarkably reduce the residual strength of an aerospace structural component than those with a singe lead crack. This study investigated the residual strength of aluminum alloy sheet with MSD through three types of aluminum specimens test. Aluminum panels with bare collinear constant diameter holes were chosen as specimens. After some constant amplitude tension-tension load cycles, the MSD were found in these specimens since there were multiple fatigue cracks emanating from the saw cuts of holes. The residual strength was recorded as the maximum load when every specimen was subjected to monotonically increasing tensile load until failure occurred. In different failure prediction criteria that were often used in engineering in order to evaluate the accuracy of these criteria, Swift criterion (ligament yield) criterion got more accurate prediction results than other criteria. Although Swift criterion was more accurate than some other criteria, its error was still big for some specimens. Two modified approaches were proposed in order to get more accurate and appropriate failure criterion for MSD structure.

This study investigated the residual strength of aluminum alloy sheet with multiple site damage (MSD) through three types of aluminum specimens test. Aluminum panels with bare collinear constant diameter holes were chosen as specimens. And there were saw cuts at both edges of all the holes. After some constant amplitude tension-tension load cycles, the MSD were found in these specimens since there were multiple fatigue cracks emanating from the saw cuts of holes. The residual strength was recorded as the maximum load when every specimen was subjected to monotonically increasing tensile load until failure occurred. The test results were compared with predicted residual strength results by five different failure prediction criteria that were often used in engineering in order to evaluate the accuracy of these criteria. The failure criteria included: fracture criterion, net ligament loss criterion, ligament yield criterion, CTOA/CTOD criterion and average stress criterion. Ligament yield criterion (Swift criterion) and average stress criterion got more accurate prediction results than other criteria.

Multiple site damage (MSD) usually occurs in the form of some small fatigue cracks at several sites within aging aircraft structures. It is very important to study the fatigue life of this kind of structure. This paper used testing method to observe the phenomenon of crack propagation, to analysis the result of the crack propagation. It provides testing reference for the study on fatigue life of MSD structures. According to the analysis of fatigue life of typical structures, a series of valuable conclusions are obtained.

The present article aimed to test changes in cooling water temperatures of males, present in aluminum injection molds, to reduce failures due to thermal fatigue. In order to carry out this work, cooling systems were studied, including their geometries, thermal gradients and the expected theoretical durability in relation to fatigue failure. The cooling system tests were developed with the aid of simulations in the ANSYS software and with fatigue calculations, using the method of Goodman. The study of the cooling system included its geometries, flow and temperature of this fluid. The results pointed to a significant increase in fatigue life of the mold component for the thermal conditions that were proposed, with a significant increase in the number of cycles, to happen failures due to thermal fatigue.

AbstractFatigue tests were carried out on compression mouldings supplied by a leading polymer manufacturer. They were made from three batches of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with weight-average relative molar masses, ${\overline{M}}_{\mathrm{W}}$, of about 0.6 × 106, 5 × 106 and 9 × 106. In 10 mm thick compact tension specimens, crack propagation was so erratic that it was impossible to follow standard procedure, where crack-tip stress intensity amplitude, ΔK, is raised incrementally, and the resulting crack propagation rate, da/dN, increases, following the Paris equation, where a is crack length and N is number of cycles. Instead, most of the tests were conducted at fixed high values of ΔK. Typically, da/dN then started at a high level, but decreased irregularly during the test. Micrographs of fracture surfaces showed that crack propagation was sporadic in these specimens. In one test, at ΔK = 2.3 MPa m0.5, there were crack-arrest marks at intervals Δa of about 2 μm, while the number of cycles between individual growth steps increased from 1 to more than 1000 and the fracture surface showed increasing evidence of plastic deformation. It is concluded that sporadic crack propagation was caused by energy-dissipating crazing, which was initiated close to the crack tip under plane strain conditions in mouldings that were not fully consolidated. By contrast, fatigue crack propagation in 4 mm thick specimens followed the Paris equation approximately. The results from all four reports on this project are reviewed, and the possibility of using fatigue testing as a quality assurance procedure for melt-processed UHMWPE is discussed.
