In the experiments, the apparent fatigue limits were investigated for two bolt/nut assemblies tightened with a flange nut and a tapered nut. The results showed that the apparent fatigue limit of the bolt/nut assembly tightened with the tapered nut was higher than that of the flange nut. Its causes were revealed by FE Analyses. As the result, it could be seen that a difference of nut inclinations when the assembly received the transverse load caused the difference of fatigue limits. It was also seen that the nominal stresses at root of the first thread were different even if the same transverse load was applied to the bolt/nut assembly.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Applying such a lattice model to recrystallization phenomena, we developed conservation laws of mass, momentum, angular momentum and energy for mixture consisting of recrystallized phase and matrix. Also, the increase law of entropy for mixture was obtained. However, in the previous works, only general principles are formulated and material properties are not introduced into them. Moreover, it is still unclear which conservation laws are corresponding to the governing equations of phase-field models. In this paper, balance equations of mass for single phase and spin angular momentum are rewritten by use of order parameter and crystal orientation, respectively. Constitutive equations for fluxes of order parameter and crystal orientation are thermodynamically derived so that the entropy inequality is not violated. Substituting the constitutive equations of flux into the balance equations, basic equations are obtained. In these equations, the mass source term and diffusion coefficients are modeled so as to synchronize with the temporal change of grain boundary energy. Neglecting the conservative term of the equation of crystal orientation and then integrating it with respect to time, threedimensional KWC type phase-field equations are derived. Finally, reducing the obtained equations to two-dimensional ones, it is shown that the present equations result in the conventional KWC type phase-field model.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The finite element code that was developed according to the formulation is employed to analyze the problem of the coatings with surface-type and lamination-type cracks which are subjected to a tensile loading. By performing the numerical analysis, it is shown that the stress field around the tip of crack can be expressed as the multiplying form of angular function and stress singularity solution which is characterized by HRR singularity. The damage field, which is associated with micro crack initiation in splat structure, in a lamination-type crack spreads along the crack plane. The other damage field in a surface-type crack is also formed along the plane normal to the crack plane. The inhomogeneity of damage field developed ahead of the crack tip may give a physical explanation for TBC spallation which is known as serious damage observed in actual gas turbine blades.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

These laws were summed up over a phase in a representative volume element (RVE) and averaged in the RVE so as to develop the discrete balance laws for single phase. Furthermore, the balance law of angular momentum was separated into a bulk and a lattice parts through the orderestimation with the representative lengths both in macroscopic and microscopic scales. In this paper, the RVE converges on a material point so that the laws are rewritten in the integration form. When the laws are summed up all over the phases and averaged in them, the balance laws of mass, momentum, angular momentum and energy for nuclei and matrix as mixture are formulated, using an useful theorem proposed for the mixing summation of unsteady terms. At this time, the macroscopic part of the balance law for angular momentum results in the usual equation of angular momentum, so that the stress tensor keeps symmetry even if the lattice rotation is considered. While, the microscopic one is localized as an equation of spin angular momentum for lattice, which is suggested to be equivalent to the evolution equation of crystal orientation in KWC type phase-field model. Moreover, the increase law of entropy for mixture is also formulated. During this process, the entropy flux is defined by use of relative mass flux and chemical potential of phase transformation.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

In this study, the fatigue crack growth tests were carried out under the conditions of test frequencies f = 0.001-10 Hz in 90 MPa (≒70 MPa×125 %) hydrogen gas, 90 MPa nitrogen gas, air and deionized water at room temperature. The fatigue crack growth rates in hydrogen and nitrogen gas at f = 1-10 Hz were lower than those in air and deionized water. However, the fatigue crack growth rates in hydrogen and nitrogen gas at f = 0.001-0.1 Hz were nearly the same as those in air and deionized water. It was found from those results that the fatigue crack growth rate was not accelerated in 90 MPa hydrogen gas. The results of fatigue crack growth tests in this study were applied to the failure analysis of 35 MPa hydrogen tanks. In JARI (Japan Automotive Research Institute), using 35 MPa hydrogen tanks, the pressure cycling tests were conducted at -40, 25 and 85°C by water or PEPF (Perfluoroalkylpolyether) under 125 % filling pressure. The tanks fractured by LBB (Leak Before Break). Increasing in the test temperature increased in the number of cycles to LBB failure. Such a behavior was predicted by the fatigue crack growth properties of A6061-T6 obtained in this study.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

A multiple fiber ring laser was adopted as a light source, which consists of a multiple erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), an optical circulator, optical couplers and FBG sensors. Multiple fiber ring lasing wavelengths depended on strains loaded to FBG sensors. A CFRP beam bending test was carried out to confirm the possibility of simultaneous measurement of both strain and AE signals from a single FBG sensor.

In accordance with these experimental facts, fretting fatigue problem can be considered as a propagation problem of small crack. Thus, a pre-cracked specimen was used in the fretting fatigue test in this study. The objective was to consider the determinant factors of fretting fatigue strength. In the fretting fatigue test, the fretting fatigue limit of the pre-cracked specimen was once reduced and after increased with increase of the contact pressure. The reason was understood by the stress intensity factor of the pre-crack obtained by a finite element analysis. In this study, the fretting fatigue limit can be predicted by the comparison of ΔK of the pre-crack and the propagation threshold of the pre-crack ΔKth. The effect of the relative location of the pre-crack to the contact edge on the fretting fatigue strength was also discussed by both fretting fatigue test and FEM analysis.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

It was obtained that pF = 4 - 5 MPa for two CB-filled rubbers by optical microscope observation. The pF values were estimated in terms of fracture mechanics under the assumption that bubbles were formed in the rubber structure after decompression, and these grew with the elapsed time; consequently, cracks initiated from the stress concentration of the bubbles. When an internal pressure of the bubble (Π) was assumed to be equal to the applied hydrogen pressure (p), the pF values were successfully estimated in terms of the critical internal pressure (ΠF), since ΠF showed good coincidence with pF for unfilled and silica-filled rubbers. In contrast, pF of the CB-filled rubbers was overestimated by this method, because ΠF was lager than pF. Since the CB-filled rubbers contain carbon black as filler, much hydrogen is absorbed in the rubbers compared with the unfilled and silica-filled rubbers. Because the increase of Π originated from the absorbed hydrogen by CB was underestimated, it was inferred that pF showed smaller than ΠF. Therefore, it was supposed that Π > p for the CB-filled rubbers, i.e., the CB-filled rubbers experienced more pressurization due to additional hydrogen.","PeriodicalId":388675,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

When the RVE converges on a material point at the final procedure of formulation, the present model can be regarded as a director model whose direction vector expressing the crystal orientation is attached to a material point of simple body. During the averaging process, two useful theorems are proposed for averaging terms associated with mass source and then these theorems are verified. Moreover, defining the representative lengths both in macroscopic and microscopic scales and performing an order-estimation for the balance law of angular momentum, this law can be separated into the bulk and lattice parts.
