The Navarro-Rios micromechanical model was used to assess the bounds of two different damage zones: crack arrest region and crack propagation region of controlled shot peening (CSP) of high strength aluminium alloys. Performance of CSP in terms of fatigue resistance was investigated. This comparison indicated that CSP in terms of fatigue depends on the competition between its beneficial and detrimental products, i.e. surface roughness and compressive residual stresses respectively. The gathered information can be used for safe load determinations in design.

This paper focusing on the crack at hole of guyed-mast’s ear-plate connecting cables and shaft of guyed-mast, adopting two degree of freedom crack propagation model, track the crack propagation according to the increment of the deepest point and the surface point on the crack front of crack at hole of guyed-mast’s ear-plate. The stress intensity factors of I,II and III type crack with given shape and size have been calculated via finite element method, and a numerical method of calculating stress intensity factors with any shape and size crack has been proposed; furthermore according to modified I, II and III type compound crack propagation velocity formula on the basis of Paris crack propagation velocity formula, we analyzed the changing of crack shape parameter a/c with crack size parameter a/T of crack at hole of ear-plate connecting cable and shaft of guyed-mast by numerical integration method and obtained the propagation characteristic.

Fatigue damage is one of the most common failure modes of large-scale engineering equipment, especially the full-face tunnel boring machine with characteristics of a thick plate structure bearing strong impact load. It is difficult to predict the location and propagation life of crack of cutterhead under strong impact load. Unseasonal maintenance of equipment caused by inaccurate prediction of life cycle of cutterhead seriously affects the construction efficiency of the equipment and the life safety of the operators. Determining the crack location of tunnel boring machine cutterhead structure under strong impact load and predicting the crack propagation life are difficult scientific problems. To solve them, first, the location of the stress concentration of the cutterhead is determined by using finite element analysis method of statics. Second, prediction model for crack propagation life of tunnel boring machine cutterhead characteristic substructure based on time integration is built. And the test of crack growth of cutterhead characteristic substructure is performed. The feasibility and accuracy of the prediction model are verified by contrasting crack prediction models and the results of the test. Finally, the life prediction of tunnel boring machine cutterhead of water diversion project in Northwest Liaoning Province is carried out by using crack propagation model based on time integration. Results show that the maximum error of theoretical prediction and experimental results of crack propagation is 16%. So the feasibility of crack propagation model based on time integration in predicting the crack growth of cutterhead is verified. It is predicted that the tunnel boring machine cutterhead panel can work normally for 5.9 km under the condition of ultimate load. Building the crack propagation model considering the influence of plate thickness and strong impact load has important research value for improving the working efficiency of engineering equipment, prolonging service time, and improving the working safety.
