Results are reported for a number of load and strain controlled fatigue tests conducted over the temperature range of room temperature to 1000°F (538°C). Cyclic hardening and softening characteristics for a single heat of 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel in the isothermally annealed condition are discussed. Comparisons of the data generated in this effort are made with data available from the literature and from these compilations possible ASME design fatigue curves were prepared covering continuous high and low cycle behavior over the temperature range of room temperature to 1100°F (593°C). Equations for these design curves are also given.

A series of strain fatigue tests were carried out on small bugle-like slice-specimens of Zr-4 alloy at 20 and 400. According to Elastic and Plastic Finite Element Analysis and assumption of local damage equivalence, a strain formula was given to transform transverse strain of the specimen to uniaxial strain. Based on the test results of the alloy and the strain transform formula, M-C (Manson-Coffin) models to be used for estimating uniaxial fatigue life of Zr-4 alloy were obtained. The results show that, the alloy mainly behaves as cyclic softening at 20 and as cyclic hardening at 400, and the elevated temperature can lead serious additional fatigue damage of the alloy and the effect of the elevated temperature impairs gradually with increasing of amplitude strain. A conclusion is helpful that prediction life by using M-C model based on traditional strain transform equation is quite conservative when uniaxial strain amplitude is less than 0.5%.

Micro-cracks in the vicinity of paste-aggregate interfaces and in the paste itself can be induced when concrete is exposed to elevated temperatures in the range 100°C-300°C. Although with increase of temperature, the strength of concrete becomes more and more influenced by the growing number of micro-cracks, the compressive strength of concrete at an elevated temperature lower than 300°C is almost the same of concrete at room temperature. Under repeated load, those microcracks caused by temperature would propagate, enlarge and become linked up, as a result, the fatigue behavior of concrete would decrease. In this paper, tests have been carried out to study the fatigue behavior of concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures of up to 300°C. Test results have shown that the reduction of fatigue strength of concrete is remarkable.

As one of the key components of non-ballast slab track in high speed railway, cement asphalt emulsion mortar (CAM) has low compressive strength and low elastic modulus. This makes CAM possible to be served as supporting, height-adjusting, vibration-dissipating and deformation-fitting sandwich-layer between pre-stress slab and concrete roadbed. To study the fatigue behavior of the CAM, fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature and negative temperature, respectively. The permanent strain, elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue-tested specimens were compared to the reference one. The results showed that the small permanent deformation lead to very little displacement differences among the slab track system. Secondly, the elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue test specimens were both higher than that of reference one. Because the fatigue process might strengthen the CAM by compacting micro-cracks. Additionally, arising from the temperature sensitivity of asphalt, viscosity behavior of asphalt mortar at room temperature is changed to brittleness behavior at negative temperature.

This paper contributes to the effect of elevated temperature on the fatigue strength of common aluminum cast alloys EN AC-46200 and EN AC-45500. The examination covers both static as well as cyclic fatigue investigations to study the damage mechanism of the as-cast and post-heat-treated alloys. The investigated fracture surfaces suggest a change in crack origin at elevated temperature of 150 ∘ C. At room temperature, most fatigue tests reveal shrinkage-based micro pores as their crack initiation, whereas large slipping areas occur at elevated temperature. Finally, a modified a r e a -based fatigue strength model for elevated temperatures is proposed. The original a r e a model was developed by Murakami and uses the square root of the projected area of fatigue fracture-initiating defects to correlate with the fatigue strength at room temperature. The adopted concept reveals a proper fit for the fatigue assessment of cast Al-Si materials at elevated temperatures; in detail, the slope of the original model according to Murakami should be decreased at higher temperatures as the spatial extent of casting imperfections becomes less dominant at elevated temperatures. This goes along with the increased long crack threshold at higher operating temperature conditions.

To investigate the property of a new type of Zircaloy material, a low cycle fatigue (LCF) test has been performed at room temperature (RT) and 375°C. Results show that the new alloy generally displays cyclic hardening followed by a continuous softening behavior. Fatigue lifetime curves as a function of strain range imply that the new alloy has a nearly same lifetime than that of Zr-4 at RT, and superior than that at 375°C.

An experimental investigation was conducted on Haynes Alloy 556 to study the fatigue behavior of the material at elevated temperatures. Fatigue tests were run at constant temperatures ranging from room temperature to 871°C with strain ranges from 0.265 to 1.5 percent resulting in lives between 102 and 106 cycles. Cyclic deformation properties were evaluated based on the fatigue data. Three fatigue life models were evaluated for their ability to predict the isothermal fatigue lives of the material. These included the Ostergren, Frequency Separation and Stress-Strain-Time models. Strengths and weaknesses of each model are discussed based on the experimental results.

Selective laser surface melting, which brings together the bionic theory and the laser process, is an effective way to enhance the thermal fatigue behavior of materials. In this study, in order to examine the relationship between the mechanical properties and thermal fatigue behavior of materials processed by selective laser surface melting, the tensile properties at room temperature and elevated temperature of treated specimens and untreated specimens after different numbers of thermal fatigue cycles were investigated and compared. Moreover, the microstructure evolution and the microhardness of the laser-affected zone were investigated after different numbers of thermal fatigue cycles. The results show that microhardness of the laser-melted zone gradually decreases with an increasing number of thermal fatigue cycles; the number of thermal fatigue cycles has little effect on the grain size in the laser-melted zone, and the percentage of low-angle grain boundaries decreases with an increasing number of thermal fatigue cycles. The strength of specimens gradually decreases, whereas the fracture elongation gradually increases with an increasing number of thermal fatigue cycles at room temperature and elevated temperature. In addition, the stress distribution on the specimen surface during tensile test was investigated using the finite element method, and the results indicate that the stress transfer exists between the laser-affected zone and the untreated zone.

Low cycle and high cycle fatigue tests of 35CrMo steel at different pretorsional angles were conducted and cyclic hardening and softening curves, hysteresis loops and S-N curves were obtained of 35CrMo steel after the torsional prestrain. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was also made of the fatigue fracture. The results show that: 35CrMo steel features obvious cyclic softening with basically the same law and degree at different torsional prestrains. The area surrounded by the stress-strain hysteresis loop decreases with the increment of the pretorsional angle; the torsional prestain reduces the fatigue life of the materials.

t Fretting fatigue damage occurs in contacting parts when they are subjected to fluctuating loadingsand sliding movements at the same time. This phenomenon may occur in many applications such asbearings/ shafts, bolted and riveted connections, steel cables, and steam and gas turbines. In this paper,the effect of elevated temperature on fretting fatigue life of Al7075-T6 is investigated using a new device forfretting fatigue tests with variable crank shaft mechanism. Also a finite element modeling method was usedto estimate crack propagation lifetime in aluminum alloy, Al7075-T6 specimens at elevated temperatureunder fretting condition. In this method, shear and normal stresses that are caused by contact load areupdated at each crack growth increment. Finally, a comparison between the experimental and numericalresults is done in order to evaluate the FE simulation.Department of mechanical engineering, Islamic Azad University, Takestan Branch, Takestan, IranThe experimental results show that: (i) fretting fatigue life of the material increases with temperature up to350°C by 180% for low stresses and decreases by 40% for high stresses, (ii) this fashion of variation offretting fatigue life versus temperature is believed to be due to degradation of material properties whichoccurs by overaging and wear resistance increase due to oxidation of aluminum alloy. While overaginggives rise to degradation of mechanical strength of material and hence the reduction of its fretting fatiguelife, surface oxidation of the specimens brings some improvement of fatigue behavior of the material.Metallurgical examination of the specimens reveals that temperature results in precipitation of impurities ofal-7075-T6. The size of precipitated impurities and their distances gets bigger as temperature increases.This could be a reason for material degradation of specimens which are exposed to heating for longer timeduration.
