Abstract
A realistic and complete reproduction of the three-dimensional crack tip morphology and propagation process is of significant theoretical and practical importance for studying the fatigue issues of materials and components under cyclic loading. To this end, a marker load method for random spectra is proposed. This method, as a quantitative fractography approach, marks the crack tip in three dimensions by inserting high loads with constant amplitude cycles into a load spectrum consisting of variable amplitude loads. Based on the random spectrum crack growth simulation method, a scientific approach to determining the marker loads parameters is provided. Fatigue tests were conducted on 7050, 2024 aluminum alloy, Ti-6Al-4 V titanium alloy and 14Cr1MoR steel, resulting in clear, interpretable, and damage-minimized mark lines, which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
期刊介绍:
Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
