Abstract
In order to prolong the service life of AA2524 panel, a composite process of laser heating(LH) and laser shot peening(LSP) was proposed to modify the surface of AA2524 panel. The compressive residual stress(CRS) on the panel surface was induced to delay the fatigue crack growth rate(FCGR) and prolong the service life. A single LH-LSP was performed on the AA2524 specimen. The surface residual stress and surface hardness of specimen were measured, the FCGR of specimen was evaluated under different stress ratios, and the microstructure of the fatigue fracture of specimen was observed. The fatigue life of the specimen was predicted by weight function combined with fatigue crack growth rate formula. The results show that compared with specimen after single LH and single LSP, specimen after single LH-LSP can induce greater surface CRS, and has the best life prolonging effect. When R = 0.1, the FCGR of the specimen after composite process is about 31.2 % lower than that of the base material specimen. The root-mean-square error(RMSE) (3.83 %) of fatigue life prediction by Wu + Walker model is smaller than that by Wu + Forman model (5.72 %) and Wu + Elber model (7.68 %). The composite process can better prolong the life of aviation AA2524 panel.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
