A method for calculation of finite fatigue life under multiaxial loading in high-cycle domain
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 28
Abstract
A method for fatigue life assessment in high-cycle domain under multiaxial loading is presented in this paper. This approach allows fatigue assessment under any kind of load history, without limitations. The methodology lies on the construction - at a macroscopic level - of an “indicator” in the form of a set of cycles, representing plasticity that can arise at mesoscopic level throughout fatigue process. During the advancement of the loading history new cycles are created and a continuous evaluation of the damage is made

Study of the influence between the strength of antibending of working rolls on the widening during hot rolling of thin sheet metal
Based on the variation principle of Jourdan was developed a mathematical model of the process of widening freely in hot rolling of thin sheet metal. The principle applies to rigid-plastic materials and for the ci...
Failure analysis of dissimilar single-lap joints
Single-lap joints made of aluminium and carbon fibre adherends of different thickness are tested to understand better the behaviour of such dissimilar joints. The overlap length and the thickness of the adhesive&n...
The effect of varying loading directions and loading levels on crack growth at 2D- and 3D-mixed-mode-loadings
While product’s operation the loading situation commonly changes. The local loading situation on an existing crack then can shift to a combined loading, composed of mode I, mode II and mode III, and consequently i...
Sharp contact corners, fretting and cracks
Contacts with sharp edges subject to oscillatory loading are likely to nucleate cracks from the corners, if the loading is sufficiently severe. To a first approximation, the corners behave like notches, where the local e...
Crack propagation mechanism and life prediction for very-high-cycle fatigue of a structural steel in different environmental medias
The influence of environmental medias on crack propagation of a structural steel at high and very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) regimes is investigated based on the fatigue tests performed in air, water and 3.5% NaCl aqueous...
