Abstract
One Way Clutch (OWC) is a machinery component widely used in mechanical industries for transmitting a large amount of torque in one direction while running freely in the reverse. Load reversal in OWC results in highly stressed contact regions and damage leading to fatigue wear initiated from subsurface microcracks. A linear elastic–plastic material model is utilized to capture the effects of microplasticity for case hardening steel in conjunction with continuum damage mechanics. The damage evolution material parameters for case hardening steel are derived using a torsion fatigue curve generated by empirical relationships. A 2D representative volume element (RVE) is considered to predict fatigue lives using damage coupled finite element analysis. The microstructure randomness of the material volume is taken into account by Voronoi tessellation. Fatigue lives and their dispersions are observed to follow the Weibull distribution. The simulation results of this study show a good correlation with experimental results. The influence of residual stress distribution and case hardening depth on fatigue lives is also studied.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
