Failure Data

Standards for the fatigue testing of wearable sensing technologies are lacking. The majority of published fatigue tests for wearable sensors are performed on proof-of-concept stretch sensors fabricated from a variety of materials. Due to their flexibility and stretchability, polymers are often used in the fabrication of wearable sensors. Other materials, including textiles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and conductive metals or inks, may be used in conjunction with polymers to fabricate wearable sensors. Depending on the combination of the materials used, the fatigue behaviors of wearable sensors can vary. Additionally, fatigue testing methodologies for the sensors also vary, with most tests focusing only on the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) regime, and few sensors are cycled until failure or runout are achieved. Fatigue life predictions of wearable sensors are also lacking. These issues make direct comparisons of wearable sensors difficult. To facilitate direct comparisons of wearable sensors and to move proof-of-concept sensors from “bench to bedside,” fatigue testing standards should be established. Further, both high-cycle fatigue (HCF) and failure data are needed to determine the appropriateness in the use, modification, development, and validation of fatigue life prediction models and to further the understanding of how cracks initiate and propagate in wearable sensing technologies.

Cumulative Energy

In the present article, acoustic emission signals were utilized to predict the damage in polymer matrix composites, reinforced by carbon fibers, in the low-cycle fatigue regime. Displacement-controlled fatigue tests were performed on open-hole samples, under different conditions, at various displacement amplitudes of 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 mm and also under various displacement rates of 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm/min. After acquiring acoustic emission signals during cycles, two characteristic parameters were used, including the energy and the cumulative energy. Obtained results implied that the energy parameter of acoustic emission signals could be used only for the macroscopic damage, occurring at more than 65% of normalized fatigue cycles under different test conditions. However, the cumulative energy could properly predict both microscopic and macroscopic defects, at least two failure types, including matrix cracking at first cycles and the fiber breakage at last cycles. Besides, scanning electron microscopy images proved initially such claims under all loading conditions.

Double Wall

The bending fatigue tests of single-wall and double-wall corrugated paperboards were conducted to obtain the εrms– N curves under sinusoidal and random loads in this paper. The εrms– N equation of corrugated paperboard can be described by modified Coffin–Manson model considering the effect of mean stress. Four independent fatigue parameters are obtained for single-wall and double-wall corrugated paperboards. The εrms– N curve under random load moves left and rotates clockwise compared with that under sinusoidal load. The fatigue life under random load is much less than that under sinusoidal load, and the fatigue design of corrugated box should be based on the fatigue result under random load. The stiffness degradation and energy dissipation of double-wall corrugated paperboard before approaching fatigue failure are very different from that of single-wall one. For double-wall corrugated paperboard, two turning points occur in the stiffness degradation, and fluctuation occurs in the energy dissipation. Different from metal materials, the bending fatigue failure of corrugated paperboard is a process of wrinkle forming, spreading, and folding. The results obtained have practical values for the design of vibration fatigue of corrugated box.

Steel Bars

In a series of applications, steel reinforced concrete structures are subjected to fatigue loads during their service life, what in most cases happens in corrosive environments. Surface treatments have been proved to represent proper processes in order to improve both fatigue and corrosion resistances. In this work, the effect of corrosion and sandblasting on the high cycle fatigue behavior reinforcing steel bars is investigated. The investigated material is the reinforcing steel bar of technical class B500C, of nominal diameter of 12 mm. Steel bars specimens were first exposed to corrosion in alternate salt spray environment for 30 and 60 days and subjected to both tensile and fatigue tests. Then, a series of specimens were subjected to common sandblasting, corroded and mechanically tested. Metallographic investigation and corrosion damage evaluation regarding mass loss and martensitic area reduction were performed. Tensile tests were conducted after each corrosion exposure period prior to the fatigue tests. Fatigue tests were performed at a stress ratio, R, of 0.1 and loading frequency of 20 Hz. All fatigue tests series as well as tensile test were also performed for as received steel bars to obtain the reference behavior. The results have shown that sandblasting hardly affects the tensile behavior of the uncorroded material. The effect of sandblasting on the tensile behavior of pre-corroded specimens seems to be also limited. On the other hand, fatigue results indicate an improved fatigue behavior for the sandblasted material after 60 days of corrosion exposure. Martensitic area reductions, mass loss and depth of the pits were significantly smaller for the case of sandblasted materials, which confirms an increased corrosion resistance.

Current Design

Pretensioned concrete beams are widely used as bridge girders for simply supported bridges. Understanding the fatigue behavior of such beams is very important for design and construction to prevent fatigue failure. The fatigue behavior of pretensioned concrete beams is mainly influenced by the fatigue of the prestressing strands. The evaluation of previous test results from the literature indicated a reduced fatigue life in the long-life region compared with current design methods and specifications. Therefore, nine additional high-cycle fatigue tests were conducted on pretensioned concrete beams with strand stress ranges of about 100 MPa (14.5 ksi). The test results confirmed that current design methods and specifications overestimate the fatigue life of embedded strands in pretensioned concrete beams.

A framework was presented for a fatigue failure model of fibrous composites using a multiscale approach, which uses the fatigue data of the fiber and matrix materials, respectively. Using this model, fatigue failure of fibrous composite materials and structures can be predicted from the constituent material behaviors. To that end, fiber bundles were tested under cyclic loading to determine their residual strength and stiffness. A successful completion of the model is expected to replace many fatigue tests as the configuration of the fibrous composite is varied.

Different Temperatures

The AlSi8Cu3 and AlSi7MgCu0.5 cast aluminium alloys of different composition and heat treatment were investigated to verify their applicability as cylinder heads in the car engines [1]. Creep tests under the step-increased stresses at different temperatures, and low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests for a range of strain amplitudes and temperatures were carried out. The results exhibit a significant influence of the heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the AlSi8Cu3 and AlSi7MgCu0.5. An interesting fact is that the properties strongly depend on the type of quenching. Lower creep resistance (higher strain rates) and lower stress response during fatigue tests were observed for the air quenched materials in comparison to those in the water quenched. Cyclic hardening/softening were also observed during the LCF tests due to the heat treatment applied. The mechanical properties determined during the tests can be used to identify new constitutive equations and to verify existing numerical models.

Welded Tube

Four types of TA2 welded tube-to-tubesheet joints prepared by manual tungsten arc argon-shielded welding technique are studied in this paper. The pull-out tests and low cycle fatigue tests were performed to optimize welded structures of tube and tubesheet. The results show that fractures of welded TA2 tube and tubesheet samples occur at weld zone of TA2 steel tube for the pull-out tests and low cycle fatigue tests. The extension-tubesheet welded joints have the maximum pull-out forces and the best fatigue resistance, and the internal-bore welded joint with 45 deg bevel occupies second place. Fractures are both initiated from weld toe of the outside of tube for the pull-out tests and low cycle fatigue tests. Crack propagates along the direction of 45 deg for the pull-out test. However, crack propagates perpendicularly to the direction of the applied load for low cycle fatigue test, and then fractures immediately parallel to the direction of the applied load. Fatigue striations with a spacing of about 10 μm can be observed on the fatigue crack propagation zone. However, hemispheroidal dimples exist on instant rupture zone.
