Damage Type

Fatigue life prediction for complex load versus time histories is considered from the viewpoint of separating the history into discrete events, or cycles, which may then be used with constant amplitude fatigue data in a cumulative damage type of analysis. Highly irregular histories require special attention, with minor load excursions being considered in cycle counting as temporary interruptions of larger load cycles. Local notch plasticity and mean stress effects are interrelated, and such effects are most rationally accounted for in terms of local notch stresses and strains. The paper describes and discusses a life prediction procedure for notched members which is based on modeling of the stresses and strains occurring locally at the notch.

Good Agreement

This paper applies the fracture-mechanics-based analysis and the crack-closure concept to naturally occurring small cracks and large crack growth, and to make total fatigue life predictions solely based on crack growth from the assumed initial materials defect. The equation of total fatigue crack propagation life under constant amplitude loading is presented. And the total fatigue propagation lives of LY12-BCZYU aluminium alloy SENT specimens by this equation and validated by experimental results. Validation against calculations by the model and experimental data shows a good agreement.

Three Point Bending

This paper is concerned with the fatigue life prediction of CFRP laminates under variable cyclic loading using the linear cumulative damage (LCD) rule with statistical approach. Three-point bending fatigue tests for plain-woven CFRP laminates were carried out undervarious cyclic loading with constant and variable stress amplitude and frequency. As results, the applicability of LCD rule to the flexural fatigue life was confirmed for this CFRP laminates.
