This study analyzes the effects of shot peening on the crack initiation behavior under fretting loading by using a numerical method. The residual stress relaxation and the contact stress evolution are both considered. The crack initiation life is predicted by the critical plane Smith–Watson–Topper (SWT) model. Considering that the fretting contact region has a high stress gradient along the depth direction, the process volume approach is adopted to calculate the SWT parameters. The results show that the remaining residual stress after relaxation strongly affects crack initiation life. The remaining residual stress decreases with the increase of fatigue loading, and the effect of shot peening on the improvement of crack initiation life is more obvious under smaller fatigue loading. Furthermore, under smaller fatigue loading, the crack initiation life of specimens with high shot peening intensity is longer than that of specimens with low shot peening intensity. However, the opposite phenomenon appears when the fatigue loading is large enough.

The severe shot peening process was applied to the notched specimens from an AW 7075 alloy with the aim to improve fatigue endurance in the very-high cycle fatigue region. To reveal the stress state in the notch vicinity, finite element analysis was performed, simulating the conditions of the used 20 kHz ultrasonic fatigue loading. Modified surface characteristics by the severe shot peening process were analyzed in terms of residual stress distribution measured by X-ray diffraction methods and near-surface microstructural observations by scanning electron microscopy. The applied severe shot peening increased the fatigue limit by 11%; however, the positive effect was recorded only for the loading amplitudes corresponding to the fatigue lifetimes in the range 107–109 cycles. At higher loading amplitudes, the fatigue properties tended to decrease, most likely due to accelerated fatigue crack initiation on the surface damage features created by the peening process and also by rapid residual stress relaxation.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of kinetic energy of the shot peening process on microstructure, mechanical properties, residual stress, fatigue behavior and residual stress relaxation under fatigue loading of AISI 316L stainless steel were investigated to figure out the mechanisms of fatigue crack initiation and failure. Varieties of experiments were applied to obtain the results including microstructural observations, measurements of hardness, roughness, induced residual stress and residual stress relaxation as well as axial fatigue test. Then deep learning approach through neural networks was used for modelling of mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of shot peened material. Comprehensive parametric analyses were performed to survey the effects of different key parameters. Afterward, according to the results of neural network analysis, further experiments were performed to optimize and experimentally validate the desirable parameters. Based on the obtained results the favorable range of shot peening coverage regarding improved mechanical properties and fatigue behavior was identified as no more than 1750% considering Almen intensity of 21 A (0.001 inch).

From the perspective of damage mechanics, the damage parameters were introduced as the characterizing quantity of the decrease in the mechanical properties of powder superalloy material FGH96 under fatigue loading. By deriving a damage evolution equation, a fatigue life prediction model of powder superalloy containing inclusions was constructed based on damage mechanics. The specimens containing elliptical subsurface inclusions and semielliptical surface inclusions were considered. The CONTA172 and TARGE169 elements of finite element software (ANSYS) were used to simulate the interfacial debonding between the inclusions and matrix, and the interface crack initiation life was calculated. Through finite element modeling, the stress field evolution during the interface debonding was traced by simulation. Finally, the effect of the position and shape size of inclusions on interface debonding was explored.

Fatigue tests of smooth and notched round bars of austenitic stainless steels SUS316NG and SUS316L were conducted under cyclic tension and cyclic torsion with and without static tension. Fatigue strength under fully reversed (R=−1) cyclic tension once increased with increasing stress concentration factor up to Kt=1.5, but it decreased from Kt=1.5 to 2.5. Fatigue life increased with increasing stress concentration under pure cyclic torsion, while it decreased with increasing stress concentration under cyclic torsion with static tension. From the measurement of fatigue crack initiation and propagation lives using electric potential drop method, it was found that the crack initiation life decreased with increasing stress concentration and the crack propagation life increased with increasing stress concentration under pure cyclic torsion. Under cyclic torsion with static tension, the crack initiation life also decreased with increasing stress concentration but the crack propagation life decreased or not changed with increasing stress concentration then the total fatigue life of sharper notched specimen decreased. It was also found that the fatigue life of smooth specimen under cyclic torsion with static tension was longer than that under pure cyclic torsion. This behavior could be explained based on the cyclic strain hardening under non-proportional loading and the difference in crack path with and without static tension.
