The results indicate that the throat area of the piston is the most susceptible to fatigue failure. Based on this, accelerated thermal fatigue tests were conducted to study the influence of various experimental factors on piston life, as well as to analyze the weight of each factor. Results from macroscopic and microscopic analyses of cracks using a scanning electron microscope show that fatigue cracks originate at the interface between the aluminum matrix and the detached hard particles. The cracking at the piston throat exhibits clear characteristics of ductile fracture, which is the result of cumulative fatigue damage.

In the present work, the high-cycle fatigue properties of Al-rich interstitial-free and high-strength interstitial-free steels have been investigated. Al-rich interstitial free steel presents the lowest fatigue endurance at 10<sup>7</sup> cycles among the materials investigated (158 MPa), mainly driven by its coarse microstructure. Furthermore, its lower Mn concentration in comparison with high-strength interstitial-free grades provokes grain shape change mechanism, resulting in the occurrence of a transient intergranular fatigue crack propagation feature. Despite their similar microstructures and monotonic strengths, Al-rich high-strength interstitial-free grade reveals a fatigue endurance at 10<sup>7</sup> cycles of 273 MPa, significantly larger than its conventional Al concentration counterpart (i.e., value of 233 MPa). This gap mainly stems from the generation of extended dislocation substructures in Al-rich grade, which tends to prevent early fatigue crack propagation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14112,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fatigue","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 108674"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586604","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}

Wire rope faults are related to the operation, fabrication environment, etc., and the prevalent mode of failure is fatigue. The aim of this study is to develop an advanced tower crane applicable to wire rope with integrated reinforcement. Steel wire ropes are superiorly used in several tower crane applications, but they may create certain failures such as less fatigue and wear-resistant. In this study, steel wires are strengthened by granite and Zinc oxide (ZnO) reinforcement. Two sets of wire ropes are prepared as complete and partial reinforcement of steel wire with seven strands and 15 wires. The failure tests such as hardness, wear analysis, tensile strength, and fatigue life are optimized using hybrid Harris Hawk optimization-based Particle swarm Optimization (Hybrid HHO-PSO). Besides, the experimented wire rope performances are predicted using hybrid Artificial Neural Network based HHO (Hybrid ANN-HHO). Fully reinforced wire ropes provide better performances for both experimented and optimization behaviors. This provides 1818 MPa of maximum tensile strength, 0.23 mm of minimal wear depth, and 3.38x10<sup>4</sup> times better fatigue life. In the HHO-PSO optimization method, the obtained better tensile strength is 1822 MPa, wear depth is 0.66 mm, and Fatigue life is 3.57 x104 times.

Specifically, the crack initiation site shifts from the weld toe to the base metal as strain increases. Moreover, the weld reinforcement of the DSWJs significantly affects the failure site transition, introducing strain concentration at lower stress levels while enhancing deformation resistance at higher stress levels, as evidenced by DIC strain measurements and FEA.
