The aim of this study is to develop a statistical estimation method of S-N curve for iron and structural steels by using their static mechanical properties. In this study, firstly, the S-N data for pure iron and structural steels were extracted from "Database on fatigue strength of Metallic Materials" published by the Society of Materials Science, Japan (JSMS) and S-N curve regression model was applied based on the JSMS standard, "Standard Evaluation Method of Fatigue Reliability for Metallic Materials -Standard Regression Method of S-N Curve-". Secondly, correlations between regression parameters and static mechanical properties were investigated. As a result, the relationship between the regression parameters and static mechanical properties (e.g. fatigue limit E and static tensile strength σB) showed strong correlations, respectively. Using these correlations, it is revealed that S-N curve for iron and structural steels can be predicted easily from the static mechanical properties.

The tensile behaviors of corroded steel bars are important in the capacity evaluation of corroded reinforced concrete structures. The present paper studies the mechanical behavior of the corroded high strength reinforcing steel bars under static and dynamic loading. High strength reinforcing steel bars were corroded by using accelerated corrosion methods and the tensile tests were carried out under different strain rates. The results showed that the mechanical properties of corroded high strength steel bars were strain rate dependent, and the strain rate effect decreased with the increase of corrosion degree. The decreased nominal yield and ultimate strengths were mainly caused by the reduction of cross-sectional areas, and the decreased ultimate deformation and the shortened yield plateau resulted from the intensified stress concentration at the nonuniform reduction. Based on the test results, reduction factors were proposed to relate the tensile behaviors with the corrosion degree and strain rate for corroded bars. A modified Johnson-Cook strength model of corroded high strength steel bars under dynamic loading was proposed by taking into account the influence of corrosion degree. Comparison between the model and test results showed that proposed model properly describes the dynamic response of the corroded high strength rebars.

The importance of disturbance and remoulding to the alteration of mechanical properties of sensitive soils has been well documented in the geotechnical literature both in terms of laboratory and field behaviours. Man-made transient dynamic input such as dynamite blasting, heavy vehicles, and train movement have been suspected of being capable of causing a reduction in the in situ strength parameters of sensitive clays. A laboratory test program was undertaken to determine whether dynamic loading at peak stress levels below normal failure strength caused similar changes in the mechanical properties, and specifically to quantify the phenomena.In order to simulate highly overconsolidated conditions most of the tests were carried out under conditions of no confining pressure, although supplemental data were obtained from consolidated undrained tests. Some of the variables examined in this program were confining pressure, mean deviatoric stress, cyclic deviatoric stress, cyclic strain, number of applications, frequency, and reference strength. In order to compare the effect of dynamic input with the long-term creep phenomena, a simultaneous constant load program was undertaken.In general terms, the study indicates that under the prestated laboratory test conditions no major reduction in peak strength was found under dynamic loading, and that failure would occur at comparative stress levels under dead-load conditions, but required a greater time. In addition, examination of the sample after failure revealed that any remoulding of the sample appeared to be restricted to the area adjacent to the shear zone.

Conventional sintering techniques for structural steels have been developed principally for Cu and Ni containing alloys. Applying these to Cr and Mn steels (successful products of traditional metallurgy) encounter the problem of the high affinity for oxygen of these elements. A solution is employing a microatmosphere in a semiclosed container which favours reduction reactions. This has already proved successful on a laboratory scale, especially with nitrogen as the furnace gas. Further modifications to the system, now described, include the use of two sintering boxes, one inside the other. Superior mechanical properties, even using air as the furnace gas, are attainable.
