However, it is highly susceptible to fracture and failure under the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue in marine environments. This paper investigates the corrosion fatigue fracture mechanisms through experimental and theoretical analyses. First, a series of corrosion fatigue tests on E690 steel specimens were conducted to study the crack propagation behavior, and the crack growth parameters were fitted using the Paris equation. Second, scanning electron microscopy was employed to analyze the corrosion fracture characteristics of the E690 steel specimens. Lastly, finite element analysis and molecular dynamics simulations were used to examine the crack propagation process and failure mechanisms from multiscales. The results show that under the influence of corrosion, dislocation accumulation at the crack tip leads to a plastic deformation mechanism dominated by dislocations during crack propagation. Furthermore, the combined effects of anodic dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement accelerate crack growth. In dry air conditions, loading frequency has no significant impact on the crack growth rate, whereas, in corrosive environments, the coupling of low frequency and corrosion shortens the corrosion fatigue life.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12298,"journal":{"name":"Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures","volume":"48 4","pages":"1905-1918"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dissipated energy was introduced to establish the initial damage model, and the effect patterns and mechanisms of initial damage on creep properties were analyzed. The experimental results showed that dissipated energy and the damage variable increased linearly with the number of loading-unloading cycles. The increase in initial damage results in greater creep strain, higher steady-state creep rate, and increased dissipated energy under the same creep loading, while reducing the long-term strength of the rock. Prior loading-unloading promoted the development of microcracks and accelerated the time-dependent deformation of the rock.

Using Abaqus/FE-SAFE simulations and LAC experiments, differences in surface quality and fatigue cycles under various laser parameters are observed. Results show that increasing the spot radius reduces heat accumulation and center temperature. A 1 mm radius yields a center temperature 5.58 times higher than a 7 mm radius and achieves a residual compressive stress of 412 MPa, which decreases to 198 MPa (51.9% reduction) at 7 mm. Larger laser power increases stress and fatigue life positively, while higher scan speeds reduce stress.

The phase-field method for fracture has proven to be a versatile tool for predicting unknown crack paths and failure mechanisms. In this contribution, we propose a phase-field model for fracture of periodic heterogeneous microstructures in a general finite strain setting. To overcome the bottleneck of scalability, we employ powerful and scalable solvers based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT). We demonstrate the capability of the model using the fundamental example of brittle fracture. A thorough comparison with conventional finite element method (FEM) reference results is carried out using a simple reference geometry. The results obtained show quantitative agreement between both numerical methods. Parameter studies provide recommendations for the choice of the numerical parameters. Following the comparison, we apply the FFT-based method to synthetic inhomogeneous microstructures, with a special emphasis of the investigation on scalability with increasing degrees of freedom and robustness of the method. The results of 2D and 3D simulations are promising, paving the way for future extensions in inverse materials design, for example, for metallic microstructures.</p>","PeriodicalId":12298,"journal":{"name":"Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures","volume":"48 4","pages":"1782-1805"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ffe.14553","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
