Abstract
The increasing importance to characterize additively manufactured lattice structures in different load regimes cannot be overemphasized due to their robust load bearing applications in lightweight structural parts or biomedical implants. This study investigates the torsional fatigue behavior of metallic diamond cell structures to check the mean stress sensitivity of these meta-materials. Consistency in results for torsional fatigue is achieved by a unique sample design that minimizes stress concentration, is self-centering and graded. In addition, axial fatigue in tension–tension, compression–compression and tension–compression is studied. The tensile mode is found to be most detrimental to fatigue life of all axial modes. An analytical local stress method (LSM) is presented to estimate the maximum local stresses that occur in the structure. By using this approach, axial tension/compression and torsion fatigue experiments almost fall together due to the similar maximum local stress. Reverse calculations from these local stress curves can provide valuable insight into torsional strength when data are available only for axial fatigue tests.
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.
