Fatigue tests revealed a significant influence of the infill pattern on fatigue behavior, with the rectilinear pattern outperforming the triangular one. Layer height had a negligible effect when paired with rectilinear infill. Specimens with rectilinear patterns exhibited superior fatigue performance, achieving infinite fatigue life at maximum applied stress around 70% of ultimate tensile stress.

For instance, when two or more shells are joined during growth processes, Nature prefers to exploit interlocking paradigms to enhance the strength of the bond—cranial sutures are one example. Mimicking this distinctive characteristic when welding thin metallic elements may offer some structural benefits. The present study theoretically investigates the possibility of mitigating the detrimental tensile residual stress that always originated by welding processes, by exploiting Computational Welding Mechanics. Specifically, two plates joined by laser welding following sinusoidal paths (i.e., wave-like), alongside a linear one, will be studied and compared. Thanks to the distinctive temporal and spatial heat distributions of sinusoidal welding, both welding stress and strain develop in dissimilar ways compared with linear path welding—this is reflected to the resulting weldment distortion too. The results show that geometrically optimized sinusoidal welding can effectively reduce residual stress magnitudes compared with the linear configuration counterpart. The implications of these findings are of particular interest when dealing with the structural performance of welded structures, especially in fatigue contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":12298,"journal":{"name":"Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures","volume":"47 12","pages":"4560-4572"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ffe.14445","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665010","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}

Today, the maturity reached by additive manufacturing technologies allows the production of such structures. However, the mechanical properties of the constituting material can be affected by the process itself, because of the particular geometry. In fact, in a previous work, the mechanical characteristics of the bulk-printed material were used for modelling the bending behavior of lattice-cored specimens made of Ti6Al4V and produced through electron beam melting (EBM) process, but a certain discrepancy with experimental results was found. Therefore, in this work, a procedure was proposed to determine the mechanical properties of the material the lattice specimen is made of, in order to reduce the gap between the numerical and the experimental results. By considering the redetermined yield strength, such mismatch was reduced. Moreover, the metallographic analysis of the material found that the α laths of the α + β microstructure, typical of the studied alloy, were thinner than those of bulk specimens, and the presence of α′ martensite was discovered too.

A dynamic caustics system is used to capture the crack propagation process. ANSYS/LS-DYNA was used for the numerical simulation analysis. The experimental results show that there is a positive correlation between the slit pipe wall thickness and the crack propagation length, velocity, and dynamic stress intensity factor. With increasing slit pipe wall thickness, the directional propagation and energy concentration ability of cracks are significantly improved, but an increase in the slit pipe wall thickness will also promote the propagation of secondary cracks. In addition, the numerical simulation results support the experimental observations and reveal the existence of an optimal slit pipe wall thickness that can maximize the blasting efficiency while maintaining structural integrity.

This is done using three different geometries and six different surface states. The evolution of the crack initiation mechanisms is then used to explain the evolutions of the fatigue strength and the fatigue scatter. Chemical etching affects the fatigue life via a polishing effect, which directly influences both the finite and the high cycle fatigue domains.
