This study aims to predict the fatigue life of the AISI 1513 carbon steel as the material for the vehicle lower arm subjected to road strains. Measurement of the strain signals was done by attaching a strain gauge at the left lower arm and driving the vehicle on clockwise and counter-clockwise roads at a speed of 30 km/h. According to the results based on the strain-life approach, the clockwise road gave the fatigue life of 2,600,000 cycles to failure, which was 1,862 % lower than the counter-clockwise road. It indicated that when the vehicle turned to the right, the lower arm on the left side subjected to a higher strain, resulting in a shorter fatigue life.

This study examines the fatigue life of the SAE 5160 carbon steel as the material for an automotive coil spring subjected to road strain. The strain signals were acquired by attaching a strain gauge on the component, driving a car up- and down-hill roads. The results of the fatigue life assessment based on the strain-life approach show that the downhill road resulted in a lifespan of 15,000 cycles to failure, which was 53% lower than the uphill road. This value was a result of braking when the vehicle is moving downhill, causing stress to the component leading to shorter fatigue life.

The purpose of this work was to predict the fatigue life of the AISI 1513 carbon steel due to the strains measured at a vehicle's lower arm. The strain signals were acquired using a strain gauge installed at the lower arm, and then the car was driven at various road surfaces. On the smooth road surface, the car was driven at a speed of > 70 km/h and on the rough road surface, at a speed of < 20 km/h. The results show that when the vehicle was driven on the rough road, the lower arm received higher stress, which provided a shorter fatigue life. The contour of the road surfaces provided a vertical load, directly working the lower arm and reducing the load vertically. The fatigue life for the rough road surface was 13,050 cycles to failure. This value was 91,195% lower than the fatigue life on the smooth road surface.

This study aims to identify the effect of road surface to coil spring fatigue life using the strain-life approach. Strain signals were measured by attaching a strain gauge at the critical point of the component. The car was driven on a flat road, as well as uphill, and downhill paths. The results show that the downhill road provided the lowest fatigue life, of 1.5E+4 cycles to failure, which was 53 % lower than that of the uphill and 2,233 % lower than the flat road owing to the braking factor which resulted in a higher stress to the coil spring.

This paper describes the correlation between fatigue life with the I-kaz coefficients. Fatigue tests were performed according to the ASTM E466-96 standard with a strain gauge attached to the specimen being tested. AISI 1045 carbon steel was used as the material for this test due to its wide applications in the automotive and machinery industry. Fatigue tests were carried out at several constant loading stresses of 610 MPa, 650 MPa and 690 MPa at the sampling frequency of 8 Hz. A set of data acquisition system was used to collect the fatigue strain signals. The integrated Kurtosis-based algorithm for Z-filter (I-kaz) technique had been used to find the I-kaz coefficient. The I-kaz coefficient is found to have a good correlation with fatigue life, other than can represent fatigue damage.

The competency of acoustic emission (AE) technique in order to predict the fatigue life of SAE 1045 carbon steel was discussed in this paper. The correlation of the AE parameter and the number of cycles to failure of the tested specimens were established via the statistical approach. In this paper, The AE hits were selected as the functional parameter. The fatigue life values were calculated using the strain-life approach of three models; Coffin-Manson, Smith-Watson Topper and Morrow. Both AE and strain signals used in the analysis were captured using the AE sensor and strain gauge that were attached to the specimen during the fatigue test. The results show that the AE technique has a good potential in assessing the fatigue life with the designed H-N curve (AE hits-number of cycles to failure curve).

Normal oral food ingestion processes such as mastication would not have been possible without the teeth. The human teeth are subjected to many cyclic loadings per day. This, in turn, exerts forces on the teeth just like an engineering material undergoing the same cyclic loading. Over a period, there will be the creation of microcracks on the teeth that might not be visible ab initio. The constant formation of these microcracks weakens the teeth structure and foundation that result in its fracture. Therefore, the need to predict the fatigue life for human teeth is essential. In this paper, a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based model is employed to evaluate the fatigue life of the human teeth. The material characteristic of the teeth is captured within the framework of the elastoplastic model. By applying the damage evolution equivalence, a mathematical formula is developed that describes the fatigue life in terms of the stress amplitude. Existing experimental data served as a guide as to the completeness of the proposed model. Results as a function of age and tubule orientation are presented. The outcomes produced by the current study have substantial agreement with the experimental results when plotted on the same axes. There is a notable difference in the number of cycles to failure as the tubule orientation increases. It is also revealed that the developed model could forecast for any tubule orientation and be adopted for both young and old teeth.

Laminates based on ultrahigh carbon steel were prepared and found to exhibit enhanced fatigue life as compared to a monolithic reference material. This result was achieved through the insertion of weak interlaminar regions of copper into the layered material during preparation of the laminates. The presence of these regions allowed for the operation of a delamination mechanism in advance of the propagating fatigue crack. The result was interlaminar separation and associated crack blunting. Stress-life curves show that an increase in life by as much as a factor of four is achieved for these materials when compared to monolithic specimens of similar processing history.

The enhancement method of fatigue life and the crack initiate and growth behavior of a holed specimen was investigated by using the 2024 Aluminum alloy and 0.45% Carbon steel. The purpose of present study is to propose a simple technical method for enhancement of fatigue life in a notched specimen. Also, the effect of local plastic deformation by cold work on fatigue crack initiation behavior was examined. This paper presents a basic experimental kinematic cold expansion method by inserting and removing a pin through the specimen hole. The shape of cross-section of pin was a circle or an ellipse. It was shown that the fatigue life of the specimen with the cold-worked hole was longer than that of the specimen with non-cold-worked hole for the case of same stress level in aluminum alloy and carbon steel. Also, the fatigue strength was higher in the case of the cold expanded hole. In this study, a methodology of lengthening of fatigue life of holed specimen is shown. Also, the improvement conditions of fatigue life were significantly affected by shape of pin, local hardening and residual stress conditions. The fatigue life improvement of the damaged component of structures was studied.
