Creep-fatigue life evaluation of high chromium ferritic steel under non-proportional loading
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
T Multiaxial creep-fatigue tests under non-proportional loading conditions with various strain rates were carried out using a hollow cylinder specimen of a high chromium ferritic steel at 823K in air to discuss the influence of non-proportional loading on failure life. Strain paths employed were a push-pull loading and a circle loading. The push-pull loading test is proportional strain path test. The circle loading test is non-proportional strain path test in which sinusoidal waveforms of axial and shear strains have 90 degree phase difference. The failure life is affected largely by the strain rate and the non-proportional loading. This paper presents a modified strain range for life evaluation considering the strain rate based on a non-proportional strain parameter proposed by authors. The strain range is a suitable parameter for life evaluation of tested material under non-proportional loading at high temperature

Mechanical properties of copper processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing – a review
The Equal Channel Angular Pressing is a hardening treatment with which ductile metals can be processed to refine their grain and sub-grain structure. This process enhances the mechanical strength of metals in terms...
Interpreting experimental fracture toughness results of quasi-brittle natural materials through multi-parameter approaches
Natural stones like marbles are often employed as façade panels to externally cover buildings. These natural materials tend to exhibit a quasi-brittle nonlinear fracture behaviour which, conversely to concrete co...
Considerations on the choice of experimental parameters in residual stress measurements by hole-drilling and ESPI
Residual stresses occur in many manufactured structures and components. Great number of investigations have been carried out to study this phenomenon. Over the years, different techniques have been developed to m...
Compliant actuation based on dielectric elastomers for a force-feedback device: modeling and experimental evaluation
Thanks to their large power densities, low costs and shock-insensitivity, Dielectric Elastomers (DE) seem to be a promising technology for the implementation of light and compact force-feedback devices such as, for...
Crack paths in smooth and precracked specimens subjected to multiaxial cyclic stressing
The understanding of shear-mode crack growth mechanisms and crack branching phenomena is of great interest for a variety of practical engineering situations. Despite this fact, relatively little research is a...
