In all the tests, fatigue crack initiated at the edge near the bottom of the hole just after starting the fatigue test, and then propagated by shear mode. Even in the unbroken specimens tested up to N = 2×10 cycles, a short fatigue crack was found at the edge. Fatigue life, Nf, plotted against the maximum contact pressure, qmax, was greatly varied according to the diameter and depth of the hole. The effect of the depth at crack initiation on the fatigue life Nf was uniquely characterized by using the nominal shear stress amplitude, τa, instead of qmax. Further, based on the consideration of the rolling contact fatigue strength as a small shear-mode crack problem, the fatigue life data were plotted using the novel parameter, τ a/( area ), where the area is a projected area of the hole. Consequently, all the fatigue life data were successfully fitted on a unified line irrespective of the diameter and depth of the hole, i.e. a defect size dependence in the rolling contact fatigue strength was manifested in a small crack regime. Moreover, the fatigue life data for smooth specimens fractured from an internal non-metallic inclusion were also in accordance with the data for the drill holes in the plot of Nf versus τ a/( area ). The result infers that a lower limit of the rolling contact fatigue strength of bearings with various dimensions can be evaluated by means of the following two dominant parameters: (i) maximum inclusion size predicted by the statistics of extremes in a given control volume and (ii) the maximum value of nominal shear stress amplitude produced under the rolling contact.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Fatigue strength of dental prosthesis is increased by the peening introducing compressive residual stress and work-hardening into sub-surface of metallic materials. In this study, in order to improve mechanical properties of dental materials, five kind of dental materials, i.e. Au-Cu-Pt-Ag, Ag-Pd-Cu-Au, Co-Cr, cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-7Nb, were treated by shot peening. Residual stress, Vickers hardness, the number of cycle to failure and the yield stress of shot peened materials were measured by the twodimensional detector in X-ray analysis, the Vickers hardness test, the fatigue test and the inverse problem analysis based on results of indentation test, respectively. It was concluded that the yield stress of dental material increases due to the shot peening and the relationship between the yield stress obtained by inverse problem analysis and the fatigue life had higher correlativity than that between the Vickers hardness and the fatigue life.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

One of the causes of the reduced fretting fatigue strength in hydrogen is adhesion between contacting surfaces and following formation of small cracks which emanate from the adhered spots. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of hydrogen on the initiation of the small cracks under fretting fatigue conditions. Since the adhesion between contacting surfaces during fretting in hydrogen is very localized, a small contact length was used in this test in order to facilitate understanding by avoiding such localization. The fretting fatigue test of an austenitic stainless steel SUS304 was performed in air and 0.13MPa hydrogen. In the fretting fatigue test, hydrogen participates in the initiation of the fretting fatigue crack. It can be presumed that high strain at the contact edge activates hydrogen assisted fracture in terms of dislocation mobility. Adhesion mimic test, in which a small contact area was welded, was also performed. As the result, the crack initiation limit evaluated by the maximum range of shear stress was significantly lower in hydrogen than in air. Hydrogen assists small crack initiation under fretting fatigue conditions. This is one of the possible causes of the significant reduction of fretting fatigue strength in hydrogen.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

On the other hand, the observed vibration modes for the micro-lattice beam are similar to those for a solid beam, and their natural frequencies can be estimated precisely using the initial stiffness, the second moment of area obtained by structural analysis and the mass per unit length for the lattice beam, if the wavelength for each mode is ten times as long as the width of the unit-cell.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The contact gasket stress distributions and the axial bolt forces taking into account the cyclic internal pressure and thermal changes are demonstrated. The load (internal pressure, thermal changes) sequences are determined from the conditions for actual pipe flange connections used in petroleum and chemical plants. Furthermore, the effect of material differences between pipe flange and bolts on the contact gasket stress distribution are examined. From the FEM results, it is found that the contact gasket stress reduces to be the smallest when a plant is restarted. The reduced contact gasket stress should be taken into account in the sealing design of the connection. On the other hand, the leakage tests were carried out to verify the FEM results and the effect of number of cycles (for 21days). A fairy good agreement is seen between the estimated amount of leakage due to the contact gasket stress distributions obtained from the FEM and the measured amount of leakage. It is found that the contact gasket stress decreases when the plant is restarted and as the temperature decreases. At that time, the contact gasket stress is the smallest which may lead to a leakage accident.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

In the design process for polymeric products, we attempt generally to predict the fracture position by commercial FEM solvers. However, we can not precisely reproduce the fracture behavior of polymers, because a material model that can express an accumulation of craze is not installed yet on the current commercial solvers. Therefore, so as to predict fracture on the basis of craze behavior, we proposed a constitutive equation with craze effect, the craze evolution equation that can express propagation and growth cessation of craze, the evolution of mean normal plastic strain and criterion for craze initiation with strain rate dependency in our previous work. In this study, our craze evolution equation is extended to an enhanced type covering wide range of strain rate and is proposed as a material model by combining with non-coaxial elastoviscoplastic constitutive equation and the evolution equations proposed in the previous work. Then, numerical uni-axial tensile tests in which applied strain rate is given at five levels between 0.01s and 100s are conducted on a commercial FEM solver LS-DYNA to which the present material model is added via user subroutine. Furthermore, we predict computationally the fracture positions under the condition of wide range of strain rates by using the criteria of craze concentration and fibril strength.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

In addition, the initiation process of the transverse crack was observed with an atomic force microscopy (AFM) in detail. The formation of the first transverse crack was evaluated quantitatively with the power law between the transverse crack density growth rate and the normalized energy release rate range associated with transverse crack formation. The analytical results showed good agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, from the analytical results with the cross-ply [0/90 6 ] s and [0 2 /90 12 ] s laminates, it was shown that the fatigue life to the formation of the first transverse crack in [0/90 6 ] s is approximately 100 times longer than that in [0 2 /90 12 ] s . Furthermore, as the results observed the process of the transverse crack initiation with AFM, it was cleared that matrix resins around fibers were uplifted on the laminate edge surface due to cyclic loading. The observation results indicate that the micro cracks are initiated at the interface between fiber and matrix resin by the stress concentration due to the uplift of matrix resins, that the micro cracks grow to the thickness direction in 90° plies with concatenating the interfacial cracks and that the transverse crack is formed finally.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Complex carbon fiber composite geometry manufactured using prepregs accompanies fiber discontinuities that result from prepreg cutting. Unidirectional CFRP laminates with 2, 4 and 64ply discontinuity out of 8 plies are loaded in tension, and show lower fracture stress with more discontinuous plies though fracture strains are almost the same. Non4linear strain behavior just above the discontinuity and discontinuous strain behavior at 20mm away from the discontinuity are found to correspond to onset of crack in resin rich part at discontinuous fiber tip and interlaminar delamination between continuous and discontinuous plies, respectively. Onset stress of these cracks and delamination decreases with the number of discontinuous plies. A shear4lag analysis model that represents the fiber discontinuity in the laminates is proposed, and it is confirmed that obtained stress distribution agrees with that calculated by finite element analysis. Furthermore, it is identified that the onset stress of the two damage modes can be predicted by the shear4lag analysis in which energy release rate is incorporated.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.
