The paper contains the results of fatigue tests of smooth and notched specimens made of 10HNAP (S355J2G1W) subjected to proportional cyclic loading with use of mean values stress. The results obtained for specimens under bending, torsion and one combination of bending with torsion for four mean values have been compared. The experimental data have been collected in the tables and shown in the figures with use of various σa(τa)-N fatigue characteristics for which parameters of the regression equations have been determined. The influence of average values on the allowable stress amplitudes and amplitude of moments at the level close to the fatigue limit depending on the angle α determining loading combination and the average stress is also shown. The greatest effect of the notch on fatigue life compared to smooth specimens is observed at symmetrical loads. At unsymmetrical loads with non-zero mean stress, this effect clearly weakens or disappears.

This paper presents the results of tests conducted on the HR6W (23Cr-45Ni-6W-Nb-Ti-B) alloy under low-cycle fatigue at room temperature and at 650 °C. Fatigue tests were carried out at constant values of the total strain ranges. The alloy under low-cycle fatigue showed cyclic strengthening both at room temperature and at 650 °C. The degree of HR6W strengthening described by coefficient n’ was higher at higher temperatures. At the same time, its fatigue life Nf at room temperature was, depending on the range of total strain adopted in the tests, several times higher than observed at 650 °C.

The effects of stress gradient and size effect on fatigue life are investigated based on the distributions of stress at notch root of the notched specimens of GH4169 alloy. The relationship between the life of the notched specimens and the smooth specimens is correlated by introducing the stress gradient effect factor, and a new life model of predicting the notched specimens based on the Walker modification for the mean stress effect is established. In order to improve the prediction precision of life model with the equation parameters having a definite physical significance, the relationships among fatigue parameters, monotonic ultimate tensile strength and reduction of area are established. Three-dimensional elastic finite element (FE) analysis of a vortex reducer is carried out to obtain the data of stress and strain for predicting its life. The results show that there is a high-stress gradient at the edge of the air holes of the vortex reducer, and it is thus a dangerous point for fatigue crack initiation. The prediction result of the vortex reducer is more reasonable if the mean stress, stress gradient and size effect are considered comprehensively. The developed life model can reflect the effects of many factors well, especially the stress concentration. The life of the notched specimens predicted by this model give a high estimation precision, and the prediction life data mainly fall into the scatter band of factor 2.

The purpose of the present research project is to study multiaxial fatigue behavior of 2618 alloy. The influence of mean stress on the fatigue behavior under tension and torsion is particularly investigated. Fatigue tests under combined tensile-torsion, in or out of phase, as well as combined tensile-torsion-internal pressure tests have also been conducted. Multiaxial fatigue results are analyzed according to Fatemi-Socie criterion to predict the fatigue life.

The objective of this study is to identify the most closely related variable to the distribution of fatigue life in unnotched and three kinds of notched 2024-T4 aluminum alloy specimens. Carefully designed fatigue tests under a constant temperature and humidity condition provided fatigue life distributions over a wide range of stress amplitude. This study used about 1000 specimens. On the basis of the test results, the dependence of the scatter in fatigue life on notch configuration, the period to crack initiation, the level of stress amplitude, the median fatigue life, and the slope of the median S-N curve is investigated, and the relationship between the distributional form of fatigue life and the shape of the median S-N curve is discussed. It is concluded that the slope and shape of the median S-N curve in the vicinity of the test stress level are closely related to the scatter and distributional form of fatigue life respectively. This is common to the unnotched and three kinds of notched specimens. A variability hypothesis to correlate the median S-N curve with fatigue life distributions is examined.

Different design methods against bending fatigue are reported in ISO 6336 standard. The standard suggests primarily the method based on reference test gears and provides the relevant fatigue curves. Additionally, the standard suggests the use of specimens (instead of gears) to generate the reference fatigue curves, but it also advices that specimen-based methods can be used when gears are not available and that specimens are particularly useful for comparing fatigue performances of gear materials relative to one another. The purpose of the present paper is to evaluate the accuracy of the specimen-based methods mentioned in the ISO standard when applied to design gears against bending fatigue. Experimental data were generated by means of pulsator fatigue tests on case-hardened gears used in off-highway vehicles. Afterwards, experimental results were compared with theoretical estimations according to the approaches based on reference test gears (as suggested by the ISO standard) and test specimens. Concerning the latter approach, the relevant fatigue design curves were generated by testing smooth as well as notched specimens made of the same case-hardened gear steel. It was found that the specimens-based methods are as accurate as the reference gears-based method, provided that the material notch sensitivity factor is properly calibrated on the experimental results obtained from specimens.

Fatigue tests have been carried out to investigate the effects of mean-stress and phase-difference on the tension-torsion fatigue failure of 2A12-T4 aluminum alloy. The results show that for fully reversed tension-torsion loading, the fatigue life increases with the increase of phase angle, but the fatigue life decreases with the increase of phase angle, when mean-stress exists, both for shear mean-stress and normal mean-stress. Fracture appearance shows that the crack initiation is on the direction of maximum shear stress amplitude plane. Critical plane criteria based on the linear combination of the maximum shear stress amplitude and maximum normal stress are studied and further discussion on the drawbacks of this kind of criteria are performed.

Creep Fatigue

Several innovative prediction methods of strain range have been developed in order to apply to the Generation IV plants. In a component design at elevated temperature, ‘strain range’ is used to calculate the fatigue and creep-fatigue damage. Therefore, prediction of ‘strain range’ is one of the most important issues to evaluate the components’ integrity during these lifetimes. To verify the strain prediction method of discontinues structures at evaluated temperature, low cycle fatigue tests were carried out with notched specimens. All the specimens were made of Mod.9Cr-1Mo, because it is a candidate material for a primary and secondary heat transports system components of JSFR (Japanese Sodium Fast Reactor). Deformation control fatigue tests and thermal fatigue tests were performed by ordinary uni-axial push-pull test machine and equipment generating the thermal gradient in the notched plate by induction heating. Stress concentration level was changed by varying the notch radius in the both kind of tests. Crack initiation and propagation process during the fatigue test were observed by the digital micro-scope and replica method. Elastic and inelastic FEAs were also carried out to estimate the ‘strain range’ for the prediction of fatigue life. Then the ranges of several strain predictions and estimations were compared with the test results. These predictions were based on the sophisticated technique to estimate the ‘strain range’ from elastic FEA. Stress reduction locus (SRL) method, simple elastic follow-up method, Neuber’s rule method and the methods supplied by elevated temperature design standards were applied. Through these results, the applicability and conservativeness of these strain prediction and estimation methods, which is the basis of the creep-fatigue life prediction, is discussed.

Object and purpose of research. The object of work is steel “38ХН3МФА”, planned for use in the propeller shafts manufacture of the lead-ship (project 10510), and less strong steel “40XH”, used in the propeller shafts manufacture for icebreakers of lower ice categories and lower power. The purpose of the study is to compare the fatigue strength of these steel grades. Materials and methods. Investigations of the fatigue strength characteristics of steels were carried out by cyclic tests of flat notched specimens in air and cylindrical specimens in fresh water. Main results. It is shown that lowest fatigue strength results correspond to external cyclic loading of specimens with stress concentrator (notch). But even in these conditions, fatigue strength of 38ХН3МФА steel is better than that of 40XH steel. As for the tests of smooth samples in fresh water, 38ХН3МФА steel also has a clear advantage over 40XH steel. Conclusion. The studies have shown that fatigue strength characteristics of 38ХН3МФА steel in the air and in corrosive environment exceed those of 40XH steel. Environmental sensitivity and stress concentration of 38ХН3МФА steel turned out to be higher than for 40KH steel.

Mean Stresses

In this paper, based on the thought of Modified Wöhler Curve Method (MWCM), a new general model for predicting multiaxial fatigue life with influence of mean stress is presented. Different from the MWCM, the expressions of multiaxiality effect and mean stress effect are located separately in the proposed fatigue equation, so that the new model can consider the impact of both axial and torsional mean stresses, and the equation form possesses excellent extendibility and variability. The wildly used von Mises equivalent stress is adopted as the fatigue parameter to improve computational efficiency. Finally, in conjunction with the Itoh criterion, the model can be trivially extended to perform non-proportional fatigue prediction with different mean stresses. Some representative fatigue tests published in the previous literature are used to verify this study.

Results are presented of fatigue tests made on large lugs 4·25 in wide, loaded by means of a 2-in diameter pin. The effect on fatigue strength of a thin layer of resin-bonded p.t.f.e. stuck to the bore of the lug was studied and a systematic investigation was made of flats milled opposite to one another on the pin. The size of the flat is described by the angle (±θ) subtended by the flat at the pin centre and values from zero to +40° were covered. Two conditions of mean stress were investigated, namely, pulsating or repeated tension and 15 tonf/in2mean tension. Although resin-bonded p.t.f.e. coatings prolonged fatigue life, they did not offer a reliable means of improving fatigue strength. Pins with flats were found to be of great benefit and for ±40° flats, as compared with a round pin, the strength ratio in pulsating tension was 3·6 and, at 15 tonf/in2, mean tension was 2·9. The combination of mean stress and size of flat is of critical importance because the strength can be increased or decreased by the addition of flats to a round pin.
