This study investigates the commonly used high-speed railway gear steel, 20CrNi2Mo, through systematic experimental and theoretical analysis. Based on the experimental results, it was found that the viscous effects of 20CrNi2Mo steel can be neglected, while the material exhibits significant changes in the hysteresis loop shape under cyclic loading. As the number of loading cycles increases, the hysteresis loop gradually becomes shorter and wider. Even when the applied stress is below the yield limit, initial deformation is primarily elastic, but plastic deformation and hysteresis loops develop over time. This phenomenon demonstrates a gradual reduction in the yield stress of the material under identical loading conditions, accompanied by a decline in elastic modulus. It further elucidates the evolution mechanism from elastic deformation to plastic failure during the fatigue process. Based on these experimental findings, the proposed constitutive model integrates improved fatigue damage evolution laws and coupling methods, incorporating elastic modulus and yield stress as damage factors. This model effectively explains material softening, hysteresis loop rotation, and widening observed during the fatigue process. Simulation results confirm that the model accurately captures the mechanical behavior at each stage of fatigue, with predicted life expectancy closely aligning with experimental outcomes. These findings provide a solid theoretical foundation and valuable reference for the failure analysis of gear transmission.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11677,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Failure Analysis","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 109533"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These features are then enriched with local spatial statistics through neighborhood-based computations, resulting in a 15-dimensional descriptor per pixel. The resulting feature set is used to train a random forest classifier, which achieves high overall accuracy (99.3%), competitive intersection-over-union (0.705), and an outstanding ROC AUC (0.998). In contrast to deep encoder–decoder networks that require extensive computational resources and large annotated datasets, the proposed pipeline offers enhanced interpretability and significantly reduced computational overhead. Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art deep learning models, such as those reported in Wei et al., (2023), demonstrates that our approach achieves similar performance while providing a transparent insight into the contribution of each feature. The proposed method is especially suitable for engineering failure analysis where model transparency, rapid evaluation, and integration into existing inspection protocols are critical.

This study builds upon recent developments in CP factor efficient evaluation and, in particular, on the Effective Critical Plane (ECP) approach recently proposed by the authors, which prescribes a stress averaging over a small control volume centred on the critical location, before evaluating the CP factor. The radius of the control volume is a material parameter and the stress averaging is intended to introduce the original idea of the microstructural support of Neuber. The influence of stress averaging on the critical plane orientation is analysed in this work in order to show that the ECP approach not only reduces computational complexity, but also preserves the critical plane orientation and, as a result, the CP theoretical foundation.

This suggests that although sizing with relatively low sizing pressure can increase hardness, it may detrimentally affect the alloy’s wear performance by intensifying stress concentration effect.
