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

Deformation and fatigue behaviors of carburized automotive gear steel and predictions
The fatigue behavior of carburized components such as automotive transmission gears is very complex due to hardness and microstructure difference, residual stresses and multi-axial stress states developed bet...
Methodological developments in the field of structural integrity analyses of large scale reactor pressure vessels in Hungary
Buildings, structures and systems of large scale and high value (e.g. conventional and nuclear power plants, etc.) are designed for a certain, limited service lifetime. If the standards and guidelines of the time...
Ductile cast irons: microstructure influence on fatigue crack propagation resistance
Microstructure influence on fatigue crack propagation resistance in five different ductile cast irons (DCI) was investigated. Four ferrite/pearlite volume fractions were considered, performing fatigue crack propagation t...
Effective properties of a new auxetic triangular lattice:an analytical approach
In this article we propose a new auxetic periodic lattice with negative Poisson's ratio which tends tothe limit ν=-1 under particular conditions. We have studied its generation and kinematic, and we give a fulldesc...
Some practical crack path examples
It is well known that many engineering structures and components, as well as consumer items, contain cracks or crack-like flaws. It is widely recognised that crack growth must be considered both in design and in...
