This study aims to develop a novel method for evaluating and predicting RCF damage of the pearlite rail materials with various initial shear yield strengths (<em>k</em>_e). Based on the rough set mathematical theory incorporated within the cloud model of the comprehensive evaluation index (<em>P</em>₀/<em>k</em>_e*<em>μ</em>^t), a novel evaluation and prediction method for RCF damage states of various pearlite rail materials was constructed using the shakedown limits for pearlite rail materials with various initial shear yield strengths. To develop this novel prediction method, different evaluation indices for RCF damage states were designed. A comprehensive certainty approach was introduced to quantitatively analyze the actual measured values of distinct evaluation indices that corresponds to different RCF damage states, wherein the maximum value rule was applied. Moreover, the prediction results were confirmed after further verifying using the actual measured value of the <em>P</em>₀/<em>k</em>_e*<em>μ</em>^t. The results indicated that the predicted results were consistent with the test outcomes. The key feature of this prediction method was that it involved both the intrinsic shear yield strength of evaluated pearlite rail materials and wheel-rail rolling contact variables. On the basis of the two-dimensional classical shakedown map, a three-dimensional shakedown limit diagram for rail materials with varying initial shear yield strengths was further constructed using this novel prediction method. The three-dimensional shakedown limit diagram featured an inclined curved surface. As the initial shear yield strength of the pearlite rail materials increased, the curved surface tilted downward, indicating that an increase in the initial <em>k</em>_e value of the pearlite rail materials could result in a lower shakedown limit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14112,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fatigue","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 108654"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527880","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}

The average local stress in a grain near the pore is modified by considering the relationship between pore roundness, inclination, position, and stress concentration factor.

However, SPT and UT employ disparate loading mechanisms. The difficulty in converting SPT to UT, which stems from the disparate loading mechanisms, has thus far limited SPT to mechanical property evaluation areas such as tensile and creep. This paper, therefore, aims to extend SPT to the fatigue domain, which is currently limited to the tensile and creep domains. The fatigue properties of metallic materials were evaluated based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the Small Punch Fatigue Test (SPFT).

Hydrogen permeation tests and microstructural analyses indicated that the dislocation density of the steel decreases with increasing tempering temperature, while precipitates gradually nucleate and grow. These hydrogen traps interact with hydrogen atoms, resulting in significantly higher diffusible hydrogen content in steel tempered at 550 °C compared to that tempered at 600 °C and 650 °C. Fatigue crack growth (FCG) test results show that steel tempered at 600 °C and 650 °C exhibits significantly better hydrogen embrittlement resistance than steel tempered at 550 °C. This is primarily due to the combined effect of the high hydrogen concentration, high dislocation density and low nano carbide content in the steel tempered at 550 °C, which inhibits dislocation slip and emission, leading to high crack tip stress and rapid crack propagation. In contrast, the low dislocation density and and dispersed nano carbides in steel tempered at 600 °C and 650 °C facilitate some dislocation slip and emission, result in crack tip stress relaxation and reduced crack propagation rate. Properly controlling the initial dislocation density and increasing the density of irreversible hydrogen traps can enhance the strength of materials while improving their resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14112,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fatigue","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 108657"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527884","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}

Subsequently, an LCF lifetime model is developed based on fracture mechanics principles, considering the difference in applied energy and cracking energy requirements due to underconstraint degree at different sites.
