The results of conventional (Coffin-type) thermal-fatigue tests of Hastelloy N are reported. The plastic-strains induced by thermal stresses ranged from a hundred micro-units to more than ten-thousand microunits and correlated well with fatigue life. The slope of the plastic-strain fatigue relationship differs from the conventional slope of minus one half being about −0.9. The thermal-fatigue data are in good agreement with the isothermal (1300 and 1500 deg F) strain fatigue data available on this alloy. The same plastic-strain criterion for failure describes the results of tests where plastic flow is produced by yielding and a combination of yielding and stress relaxation. The plastic-strain energy per cycle versus life suggests that a constant plastic work to failure exists for this alloy. The implications of such a criterion are discussed.

In this paper the cyclic plastic strain energy of the A-516 Gr. 70 carbon low-alloy steel during fully reversed constant strain or stress-controlled cycles is discussed. A relationship is proposed which can be used to determine the plastic strain energy per cycle for a non-Masing material for various stress ranges during the entire life cycle. Predictions of the proposed method are in good agreement with the experimental data. The variation of the plastic strain energy per cycle and cyclic creep during the life of fully reversed stress-controlled tests is also presented. It is shown that the cyclic creep strain affects the fatigue crack initiation period and consequently the amount of the total absorbed plastic strain energy to failure.

The present paper introduces a modification method of welded joint, plasma spurt spraying (MPSS), for improving the fatigue life of welding structure. Nickel-base alloy powder was used to spray the welded joint of Q235B steel. The high cycle fatigue tests of specimens treated by MPSS were carried out to obtain the S-N curves. Meanwhile, numerical simulation was performed to obtain the residual stress field after spraying. Test results show that the fatigue strength of welded joint by MPSS is higher than that of as-welded joint. Based on the test results and simulation results, it can be concluded that MPSS improves fatigue strength mainly through the decrease of stress concentration and residual stress.

The flexural strength of steel fiber reinforced prestressed concrete slab (SFRPCS) with different steel fiber volume ratio (0%, 1%, 2%) is obtained according to four-point bend test, which reveals that the addition of steel fiber can retard the crack growth and enhance the flexural strength of SFRPCS. With the results of fatigue experiment, the damage forms of SFRPCS is analyzed, strain amplitude-cycle ratio curves are obtained and the plastic strain energy of SFRPCS with different steel fiber volume ratio during fatigue process is calculated. It is shown that after 80% fatigue life, the more of the steel fiber volume ratio, the less of the strain amplitude increment, which proves the addition of steel fiber can prevent the concrete matrix from cracking and improve the fatigue performance of SFRPCS, and the plastic strain energy curve of SFRPCS shows obviously three- stage development.
