Book Fatigue of Structures and Materials

Download or read book Fatigue of Structures and Materials written by J. Schijve and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service. Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on the signi?cance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects are presented in the following main parts: • Basic chapters on fatigue properties and predictions (Chapters 2–8) • Load spectra and fatigue under variable-amplitude loading (Chapters 9–11) • Fatigue tests and scatter (Chapters 12 and 13) • Special fatigue conditions (Chapters 14–17) • Fatigue of joints and structures (Chapters 18–20) • Fiber-metal laminates (Chapter 21) Each chapter presents a discussion of a speci?c subject.

Book Handbook of Fatigue Crack Propagation in Metallic Structures

Download or read book Handbook of Fatigue Crack Propagation in Metallic Structures written by A. Carpinteri and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this Handbook is to provide a review of the knowledge and experiences in the field of fatigue fracture mechanics. It is well-known that engineering structures can fail due to cyclic loading. For instance, a cyclically time-varying loading reduces the structure strength and can provoke a fatigue failure consisting of three stages: (a) crack initiation (b) crack propagation and (c) catastrophic failure. Since last century many scientists have tried to understand the reasons for the above-mentioned failures and how to prevent them. This Handbook contains valuable contributions from leading experts within the international scientific community and covers many of the important problems associated with the fatigue phenomena in civil, mechanical and nuclear engineering.

Book Fatigue Damage  Crack Growth and Life Prediction

Download or read book Fatigue Damage Crack Growth and Life Prediction written by F. Ellyin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-11-30 with total page 490 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.

Book A Practical Engineering Approach to Predicting Fatigue Crack Growth in Riveted Lap Joints

Download or read book A Practical Engineering Approach to Predicting Fatigue Crack Growth in Riveted Lap Joints written by C. E. Harris and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive experimental database has been assembled from very detailed teardown examinations of fatigue cracks found in rivet holes of fuselage structural components. Based on this experimental database, a comprehensive analysis methodology was developed to predict the onset of widespread fatigue damage in lap joints of fuselage structure. Several computer codes were developed with specialized capabilities to conduct the various analyses that make up the comprehensive methodology. Over the past several years, the authors have interrogated various aspects of the analysis methods to determine the degree of computational rigor required to produce numerical predictions with acceptable engineering accuracy. This study led to the formulation of a practical engineering approach to predicting fatigue crack growth in riveted lap joints. This paper describes the practical engineering approach and compares predictions with the results from several experimental studies.

Book Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth Under Constant Amplitude and Random Loading Using Specimens with Multiple Cracks

Download or read book Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth Under Constant Amplitude and Random Loading Using Specimens with Multiple Cracks written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue crack growth under stationary Gaussian random loading is considered. A specially developed computerized testing system and software are used for generation of the random loading and investigation of crack growth. The sliding summation numerical method was used for generation of a random loading history characterized by a given autocorrelation function. As far as the loading history of a sufficient length is generated a sequence of maxima and minima is extracted and arranged with the predetermined frequency. The next Operation is elimination of the small amplitude cycles in accordance with the predetermined threshold value and. determination of the minima and maxima two-dimensional distribution of the edited process. A specially built transition matrix derived from this distribution was used for the real-time generation of the random loading during the test. Experimental investigation of the developed random loading generation procedure and crack growth process was performed using aluminium alloy multicrack panel type specimens providing possibility of observation of an array of simultaneously growing cracks. Dependence of fatigue crack life time on random loading parameters as well as stochastic characteristics of crack growth were studied. (MM).

Book Fracture  Fatigue and Structural Integrity of Metallic Materials

Download or read book Fracture Fatigue and Structural Integrity of Metallic Materials written by Sergio Cicero and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracture, fatigue, and other subcritical processes, such as creep crack growth or stress corrosion cracking, present numerous open issues from both scientific and industrial points of view. These phenomena are of special interest in industrial and civil metallic structures, such as pipes, vessels, machinery, aircrafts, ship hulls, and bridges, given that their failure may imply catastrophic consequences for human life, the natural environment, and/or the economy. Moreover, an adequate management of their operational life, defining suitable inspection periods, repairs, or replacements, requires their safety or unsafety conditions to be defined. The analysis of these technological challenges requires accurate comprehensive assessment tools based on solid theoretical foundations as well as structural integrity assessment standards or procedures incorporating such tools into industrial practice. This volume is focused on new advances in fracture, fatigue, and structural integrity of metallic structural components containing defects (e.g., cracks, notches, metal loss, etc.), and also on those developments that are being or could be incorporated into structural integrity assessment procedures, such as BS7910, R6, or API 579-1/ASME FFS-1.

Book Random Spectrum Fatigue Crack Life Predictions With Or Without Considering Load Interactions

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.
