A new 3D damage model is developed to predict the progressive failure and accumulated fatigue damage of woven fabric composite materials. Stress-based failure criteria are used to predict the damage initiation in x-tow, y-tow, and matrix constituent. An S-N based damage accumulation model is implemented to characterize the cycle dependent strength of the x- and y- fiber tows and matrix subjected to axial tension, compression, or in-plane share loading. A curve-fit non-linear shear model is also employed based on the static coupon test data of (+45/-45) woven fabric laminates. A static failure progression module is used to predict the damage and failure at the peak load prior to fatigue cycling. Stiffness degradation, fatigue damage accumulation, and failure mode detection are performed during the fatigue marching process. The developed user-defined material model for Abaqus features: 1) description of initial nonlinear shear before the damage initiation; 2) characterization of failure initiation based on a maximum stress criterion; and 3) performance of fatigue damage accumulation using a phenomenological model based on S-N test data. The predictive capabilities of the developed model are demonstrated using tension-tension fatigue of SYNCOGLAS R420 E-glass woven fabrics.

To evaluate the fatigue damage accumulation and predict the residual life of components at different stress levels, this paper proposed a modified cumulative damage model based on the strain energy density parameter. Noting that mean stress and load interaction under uniaxial fatigue loading exhibit significant effects on fatigue damage accumulation and life prediction. According to this, a new model based on damaged stress model which considers the effects of mean stress and load interaction was presented in this paper. The proposed model was verified by using four experimental data sets of aluminium alloys and steels. The experimental results are compared with those of the Miner’s rule, damaged stress model (DSM) and damaged energy model (DEM). Results show that the proposed model agrees better with the experimental observations than others.

Fatigue damage accumulation theory is one of the core contents in structure fatigue strength design and life prediction. Among them, the nonlinear damage model can overcome the shortcomings of the linear damage model, which takes the loading sequence effect into account. Besides, the loading interaction cannot be ignored for its profound influence in damage accumulation behavior. In the paper, some commonly-used methods of the linear and nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation theory are investigated. In particular, a modified nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation model which considers the effects of loading sequences as well as loading interactions on fatigue life is developed, and a load interaction parameter is obtained by analyzing damage models which assumes that the load logarithm ratio between adjacent stress levels can characterize this phenomenon. Finally, the modified model is employed to predict the fatigue life of high pressure turbine disc. Moreover, comparison is made between the experimental data as well as the predicted lives using the Miner’s rule, the Ye’s model, and the modified model.

Abstract This paper presents a method of TMF analysis based on the theory of damage mechanics to examine the fatigue damage accumulation in 63Sn-37Pb solder. The method is developed by extending a viscoplastic damage model proposed earlier by the authors (Wei, et al 1999, 2000). A computer simulation is carried out to calculate hysteresis loops at three different strain ranges. The damage-coupled fatigue damage model is applied to predict the cyclic softening behavior of the material and the prediction is found to agree well with the experiment. With a proposed failure criterion based on the concept of damage accumulation, the TMF model is also found to predict successfully the fatigue life of 63Sn-37Pb solder.
