Ratcheting of 316L stainless steel thin wire under tension-torsion loading
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
A series of cyclic tension-torsion tests under symmetric shear strain and asymmetric axial stress control in various loading paths are conducted on 100 μm-diameter 316L steel wires applying a micro tensiontorsion fatigue testing apparatus. The ratcheting strain of the thin wire increases with increasing axial mean stress and decreases in a sequence of linear, rhombic and circular paths. The macro-scale based cyclic plastic constitutive models with kinematic hardening rules of the Ohno-Wang (OW) and the Chen-Jiao-Kim (C-J-K) are evaluated for the thin wire. Comparing with the O-W, the C-J-K predicts more accurately under high axial stress. While the loading path effects on ratcheting for wire specimens are basically simulated, the macro-based models tend to under-estimate the effect of phase difference between axial and torsional loadings and the ratcheting evolution in the initial 50 cycles

On the crack path under mixed mode loading on PUR foams
In this paper are presented the crack initiation angles obtained in polyurethane (PUR) foams under mixed mode loading. Closed cell rigid PUR foams having three different densities 100, 145, and 300 kg/m3 were inve...
Contatto tra i componenti di una protesi di ginocchio: studio numerico e sperimentale
Scopo del presente lavoro è lo studio dell’area di contatto in una protesi di ginocchio utilizzando due differenti approcci. In particolare è stata studiata l’interfaccia fra la componente femorale e l’inserto in p...
Numerical modelling in non linear fracture mechanics
Some numerical studies of crack propagation are based on using constitutive models that account for damage evolution in the material. When a critical damage value has been reached in a material point, it is natural...
Previsione della resistenza a fatica in saldature per punti attraverso modellazione solida
Nel presente lavoro vengono messi a confronto due metodi idonei per la verifica di giunzioni saldate per punti: il metodo del raggio di raccordo fittizio ed il metodo del gradiente implicito. Il primo impone un raggio di...
Numerical study of the response of dynamic parameters to defects in composite structures
The purpose of this work is to study three different models of delamination in composite plate (the free mode model, the constrained model and the contact model) and applicability of this models to the vibrational...
