In order to investigate the influence of fretting induced by a shrink-fit shaft and hub subjected to rotating bending on crack propagation on different position, small specimens consisted of shaft and hub were tested on the four point rotating bending fatigue test machine. The experimental result shows that the fretting fatigue life of specimen with notch outside the shaft-hub contact is shortest, and the fretting fatigue life of specimen with notch inside the shaft-hub contact is longest.

AbstractRotating bending fatigue test results vary from specimen to specimen even if materials are tested in a standard laboratory set up because rotating bending fatigue life or fatigue strength depends upon various factors due to its dynamic action. One method of testing may be machine scatter (offset and angular misalignment). Angular misalignments are unavoidable in dynamic machines due to continuous operation leading to transverse vibrations in specimens. The magnitude of transverse vibrations was measured manually by dial gauge arrangement. Experiments were carried out until fracture either with smooth running conditions or with the effects of offset and angular misalignment. The enhanced effect of misalignments on fatigue life was done through the histogram normal distribution technique. There was a clear distinction between the appearances of the fracture surfaces between the specimens subjected to smooth running conditions and specimen vibration, which reveals general fatigue fracture phenomena and intergranular fatigue cracks, larger decohesion of graphite nodules and isolated cleavage facets. The manual technique used without any resistance strain gauges, as they were not efficiently sustainable under repetitive loads, helped in understanding the dynamic machine scatter on fatigue life in an economical way where there were lesser concentrations in these areas.

In order to elucidate the effect of small defects on the torsional fatigue strength of steels, reversed torsion tests were carried out on the 0.46 percent C steel specimens containing a small hole. The hole diameter ranges from 40 to 500μm. The fatigue behaviors on the specimen surface and near the hole were observed with the aid of a microscope. The torsional fatigue strength of steels containing small holes can be predicted from the results of rotating bending fatigue test by considering the threshold condition for crack propagation.

This paper deals with a definition of a relatively novel technique to improve the fatigue behavior of high strength aluminum alloys, namely, Fluidized Bed Peening (FBP). Fatigue samples made from AA 6082 T6 alloy were chosen according to ASTM regulation about rotating bending fatigue test and, subsequently, treated by varying FBP operational parameters and fatigue testing conditions. First, a full factorial experimental plan was performed to assess the trend of number of cycles to rupture of fatigue samples varying among several experimental levels the factors peening time and maximum amplitude of alternating stress applied to fatigue samples during rotating bending fatigue tests. Second, design of experiment (DOE) technique was used to analyze the influence of FBP operational parameters on fatigue life of AA 6082 T6 alloy. Finally, ruptures of FB treated samples and untreated samples were discussed in order to evaluate the influence of operational parameters on the effectiveness of FBP process and to understand the leading process mechanisms. At any rate, the fatigue behavior of processed components was found to be significantly improved, thereby proving the suitability of FBP process as alternative mechanical technique to enhance fatigue life of components made from high strength aluminum alloy.

Rotating bending and inverse rotating bending are the two different forms of fatigue. The application of regular blanking for brass under extra-low cycle inverse rotating bending fatigue was investigated. The principle of inverse rotating bending fatigue was explained at first. And then the experiment of inverse rotating bending fatigue was made in special equipment designed by the authors. Several problems, i.e. the relations of the quantities such as cycle times of fracture, the strain amplitude near the notch tip and fracture toughness of fatigue to the presetting deflection, the effects of depth and tip radius of notch on the cycle times of fracture, were discussed with the helps of experiment. Finally, The relation of depth of crack propagation to cycle times were discussed also. The suitable parameters of inverse rotating bending fatigue for blanking of brass were obtained.
