This study discusses fatigue properties of low carbon steel under multiaxial non-proportional loading and an evaluation of failure life. Multiaxial fatigue tests under non-proportional loading with various stress amplitudes were carried out using a hollow cylinder specimen in low and high cycle regions at room temperature. In the test, three types of strain/stress path were employed. They are a push-pull, a reversed torsion and a combined push-pull and reversed torsion loadings in which stress amplitudes used were constant and random. This study evaluates an effect of non-proportional loading on fatigue life in the high cycle fatigue region to discuss the applicability of ΔεNP proposed by Itoh et al. on life evaluations in the high cycle region and under random loading.

Types of multiaxial fatigue tests and their experimental results are presented in this paper. There are typical three types in multiaxial fatigue tests: the combining push-pull and reversed torsion loading test using hollow cylinder specimen, the biaxial tension-compression test using cruciform specimen and the inner pressure applied the push-pull loading test using the hollow cylinder specimen. In the combining a push-pull loading and a reversed torsion loading test, failure life under non-proportional loading in which principal directions of stress and strain were changed in a cycle was shortened compared to proportional loading in which those are fixed. Fatigue lives were well-correlated using a non-proportional strain range considering the effect of strain path and material dependence. In the biaxial tension-compression test, the failure life decreased with increase of the principal strain ratio. In the inner pressure applied the push-pull loading test, cyclic deformation behaviour due to complex loading paths of multiaxial fatigue tests with the inner pressure associated with push-pull and rev. torsion acted to reduce the failure lives. Experimental investigation of multiaxial failure life and elucidation of their governing mechanism is essential and it can broaden the applicability of structural components.

The paper describes the results of a research programme, carried out at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Pisa, for the assessment of the influence of plasma cutting on the physical and mechanical properties of Fe510 D1, a low carbon steel widely used in carpentry. The activity started by observing that several industries rework plasma cut edges, particularly in the case of fatigue structures, in spite of the good quality of the plasma cut edges in a fully automatic process. Obviously, reworking is very expensive and time-consuming. Comparative fatigue tests demonstrated that the fatigue resistance of plasma cut specimens in Fe510 steel was fully comparable to that of milled specimens, as the consequence of the beneficial residual stresses which formed in the plasma cut edges.

In this study, the multiaxial fatigue strength of full-scale transversal attachment is assessed and compared to original experimental results and others found in the literature. Mild strength S235JR steel is used and an exploratory investigation on the use of high strength S690QL steel and the effect of non-proportional loading is presented. The study focuses on non-load carrying fillet welds as commonly used in bridge design and more generally between main girders and struts. The experimental program includes 33 uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue tests and was partially carried out on a new multiaxial setup that allows proportional and non-proportional tests in a typical welded detail. The fatigue life is then compared with estimations obtained from local approaches with the help of 3D finite element models. The multiaxial fatigue life assessment with some of the well-known local approaches is shown to be suited to the analysis under multiaxial stress states. The accuracy of each models and approaches is compared to the experimental values considering all the previously cited parameters.

Treatment of stress multiaxiality in fatigue assessment is practically important in many components subjected to cyclic loading during their operation. Based on the results of fatigue tests on hollow and solid bar specimens of SUS316NG and SGV410 under various combinations of axial and torsional stresses, accuracy of fatigue life prediction based on the conventional parameters as well as a two parameter approach newly proposed here was studied. The conventional parameters tended to provide conservative prediction of the failure life for shear-dominated cases especially for SUS316NG while the new approach was able to give more realistic prediction of failure lives.

The influence of residual stress on fatigue crack growth was experimentally and analytically investigated for surface cracks. Fatigue tests were performed on straight pipes of low-carbon steel with a circumferential inner surface crack in laboratory air environment. Some of the test pipes had been subjected to special heat treatments so as to have compressive or tensile residual stresses along inner surface. The results show that the compressive residual stress remarkably suppresses the surface crack growth, while the tensile residual stress does not accelerate the crack growth very much. The crack growth analyses were conducted by the application of power relationship between ΔK and da/dN. The stress intensity factors due to the nonlinear stress field were calculated by the weight function method. The analyses resulted in a confirmation of the behavior of the crack growth observed in the experiments.
