Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A constant crack closure stress-based model assuming the absence of a threshold stress intensity range under spectrum loading forms the basis for a simple procedure to predict crack growth under spectrum loading. The procedure requires material constants that can be derived from constant amplitude fatigue crack growth tests at two stress ratios: (1) at a high stress ratio in the absence of fatigue crack closure, and (2) at a stress ratio corresponding to the most severe cycle under the load spectrum of interest. Crack growth estimates were compared with available experimental data for a variety of materials and load spectra.

Download or read book Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth Under Spectrum Loads written by AE. Gemma and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduced crack growth rate caused by each high-low load sequence of a complex load spectrum is modeled by a modified empirical constant-amplitude crack propagation relationship. The modification consists of the replacement of the crack rate term by a fractional derivative. The order of the derivative is a nondimensional parameter which is defined in terms of each high-low load sequence occurring in the spectrum. A cycle-by-cycle solution of the fractional differential equation yields the crack growth behavior for the spectrum. The approach is evaluated by comparing predictions with available experimental results for three aluminum alloys (7075-T6, 7050-T73, 2024-T3), two titanium alloys (Ti-6A1-4V, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo) and a nickel base superalloy IN-100. In all cases the method accurately predicted the general trends and estimates were well within a factor of two for 39 out of 40 tests analyzed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the capabilities of a plasticity-induced crack-closure model and life-prediction code to predict fatigue crack growth and fatigue lives of metallic materials. Crack-tip constraint factors, to account for three-dimensional effects, were selected to correlate large-crack growth rate data as a function of the effective-stress-intensity factor range ([pie]Keff) under constant-amplitude loading. Some modifications to the [pie]Keff-rate relations were needed in the near-threshold regime to fit small-crack growth rate behavior and endurance limits. The model was then used to calculate small- and large-crack growth rates, and in some cases total fatigue lives, for several aluminum and titanium alloys under constant-amplitude, variable-amplitude, and spectrum loading. Fatigue lives were calculated using the crack-growth relations and microstructural features like those that initiated cracks. Results from the tests and analyses agreed well.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue failure is a multi-stage process. It begins with the initiation of cracks, and with continued cyclic loading the cracks propagate, finally leading to the rupture of a component or specimen. The demarcation between the above stages is not well-defined. Depending upon the scale of interest, the variation may span three orders of magnitude. For example, to a material scientist an initiated crack may be of the order of a micron, whereas for an engineer it can be of the order of a millimetre. It is not surprising therefore to see that investigation of the fatigue process has followed different paths depending upon the scale of phenomenon under investigation. Interest in the study of fatigue failure increased with the advent of industrial ization. Because of the urgent need to design against fatigue failure, early investiga tors focused on prototype testing and proposed failure criteria similar to design formulae. Thus, a methodology developed whereby the fatigue theories were proposed based on experimental observations, albeit at times with limited scope. This type of phenomenological approach progressed rapidly during the past four decades as closed-loop testing machines became available.

Download or read book Random Spectrum Fatigue Crack Life Predictions With Or Without Considering Load Interactions written by M. Szamossi and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The validity of using constant amplitude crack growth rate data for the prediction of fatigue crack growth behavior and lives of center-cracked tension (CCT) specimens under random spectrum loadings was assessed. Analytical predictions obtained from the EFFGRO computer program were the results from two different approaches. One approach did not account for the load interaction effects to the fatigue crack growth, while the other approach considered both the tensile overload retardation and the compressive load acceleration effects as well as the reduction of overload retardation effect caused by the compressive load immediately following the tensile overload. This paper describes the fatigue crack growth rate equation, the load interaction model, the numerical procedure, and the cycle counting technique used in the EFFGRO program. Results from other studies, including the sensitivity of the overload shut-off ratio, the crack growth rate constants determination procedure, and the range-pair counting effects to the prediction accuracies, are also presented.
