Abstract
This study proposes an assessment method for 16 mm-thick Q355B steel notched plates (SNPs) assessing fatigue life. The method divides the total fatigue life calculation into two phases, i.e., the fatigue crack initiation (FCI) life and the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) life. Using fatigue tests on five groups (60 specimens), this study investigated the influence of stress amplitude and nominal maximum stress on fatigue life. Based on the tests data and the FCI life model, a formula for calculating the FCI life of Q355B-16 mm SNPs was derived. Additionally, using the tests and theoretical calculation data and the FCP life calculation model, a formula for predicting the FCP life of Q355B-16 mm SNPs was established. Consequently, the total fatigue life of Q355B-16 mm SNPs was then obtained by summing up FCI life and FCP life. Based on the fatigue test data, the accuracy of a fatigue life calculation method proposed in this paper, which considers the crack initiation phase, was verified. The results indicate that this method demonstrates higher precision compared to the calculation method that does not account for the crack initiation life, as well as the fatigue life calculation method recommended by the current China’s code (GB50017–2017). Moreover, the errors are −2.1 % to +19.3 %, −44.5 % to +18.1 %, and −52 % to +98.4 %, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
