The Relationship

Considering the relationship between inhomogeneous plastic deformation and fatigue damage, deformation inhomogeneity evolution and fatigue failure of superalloy GH4169 under temperature 500 °C and macro tension compression cyclic loading are studied, by using crystal plasticity calculation associated with polycrystalline representative Voronoi volume element (RVE). Different statistical standard deviation and differential entropy of meso strain are used to measure the inhomogeneity of deformation, and the relationship between the inhomogeneity and strain cycle is explored by cyclic numerical simulation. It is found from the research that the standard deviations of each component of the strain tensor at the cyclic peak increase monotonically with the cyclic loading, and they are similar to each other. The differential entropy of each component of the strain tensor also increases with the number of cycles, and the law is similar. On this basis, the critical values determined by statistical standard deviations of the strain components and the equivalent strain, and that by differential entropy of strain components, are, respectively, used as fatigue criteria, then predict the fatigue–life curves of the material. The predictions are verified with reference to the measured results, and their deviations are proved to be in a reasonable range.

During low-cycle fatigue test with smooth bars the number of cycles to initiation is commonly defined from a measured relative drop in aximum load. This criterion cannot be directly related to the actual measure of interest - the crack length. By relating data from controlled crack growth tests under low-cycle fatigue conditions of a high strength Titanium alloy at 350°C and numerical simulation of these tests, it is shown that it is possible to determine the relationship between load drop and crack length, provided that care is taken to consider all relevant aspects of the materials stress-strain response.

The relation between deformation inhomogeneity and low-cycle-fatigue failure of T2 pure copper and the nickel-based superalloy GH4169 under symmetric tension-compression cyclic strain loading is investigated by using a polycrystal representative volume element (RVE) as the material model. The anisotropic behavior of grains and the strain fields are calculated by crystal plasticity, taking the Bauschinger effect into account to track the process of strain cycles of metals, and the Shannon’s differential entropies of both distributions of the strain in the loading direction and the first principal strain are employed at the tension peak of the cycles as measuring parameters of strain inhomogeneity. Both parameters are found to increase in value with increments in the number of cycles and they have critical values for predicting the material’s fatigue failure. Compared to the fatigue test data, it is verified that both parameters measured by Shannon’s differential entropies can be used as fatigue indicating parameters (FIPs) to predict the low cycle fatigue life of metal.

AbstractIn this paper, the thermomechanical behavior of shape memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to uniaxial cyclic loading is investigated. To obtain experimental data, the strain-controlled cyclic loading-unloading tests are conducted at various strain-rates and temperatures. Dislocations slip and deformation twins are considered to be the main reason that causes the unique cyclic mechanical behavior of SMAs. A new variable of shape memory residual factor was introduced, which will tend to zero with the increasing of the number of cycles. Exponential form equations are established to describe the evolution of shape memory residual factor, elastic modulus and critical stress, in which the influence of strain-rate, number of cycles and temperature are taken into account. The relationship between critical stresses and temperature is modified by considering the cycling effect. A macromechanical constitutive model was constructed to predict the cyclic mechanical behavior at constant temperature. Based on the material parameters obtained from test results, the hysteretic behavior of SMAs subjected to isothermal uniaxial cyclic loading is simulated. It is shown that the numerical results of the modified model match well with the test results.

The influence of cyclic loading on microstructure and hardness of a 10%Cr steel with 3%Co and 0.008%B was examined at room temperature and total strain amplitudes of ±0.25% and ±0.6%. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) curves exhibit a stress peak after a few cycles. Hardening is attributed to an increase in dislocation density; no changes in lath size were observed. Then stress tends to decrease monotonically with number of cycles that is indicative for material softening. At εac =±0.25%, strain softening is attributed to decreasing dislocation density and lath coarsening under LCF, whereas at εac =±0.6%, the knitting reaction between dislocations comprising lath boundaries and trapped lattice dislocation leading to the transformation of lath boundaries to subboundaries is a reason for hardness decrease and strain-induced subgrain coarsening.

Material damages affect its microstructure, physical and acoustic properties. The article considers microstructural and ultrasonic studies of the St3sp5 steel carried out under cyclic uniaxial tension-compression in the low-cycle fatigue area. The fatigue tests were performed in stages. At each stage of cyclic deforming, the structure of steel samples was studied by the ultrasonic method and the change in the acoustic anisotropy parameter was determined. The relationship between the acoustic characteristics of the material and the degree of its damage is found. Based on the relationship the residual life can be predicted. The advantage of this method for determining the residual resource using the acoustic anisotropy parameter is that it is not required to determine the length of the acoustic path, for example, the wall thickness of the object under study. The influence of the deformation range of the cycle on the rate of the acoustic anisotropy parameter change is investigated. A direct linear relationship was established between the relative number of cycles and acoustic anisotropy parameter. An algorithm for determining the residual life of a material based on studies of microstructural changes and ultrasonic data is proposed.

The main originality of this work consists in investigating low cycle fatigue of AISI 316L cardiovascular stents under hypertensive loading. For this purpose, two geometries of stents are expanded to various diameters and subjected to hypertensive blood pressure. Based on a combination between the fatigue parameter of Jiang-Sehitoglu and the relationship of Coffin-Manson, a numerical model for the prediction of the number of cycles to crack failure is developed. The stent is found to exhibit a fatigue life reduction with the increase of the expansion diameter due to ratchetting strain. In addition, the location of the failure is independent on the design. However, the U-shape strut permits a better distribution of pressure over the stent strut resulting in a longer fatigue life as compared to the Ω-shape.

Based on cyclic loading experiment of nine beams in the two groups, the relationship among the average web stress, initial diagonal crack width and shear capacity of RC beams was studied. Experimental result shows that the decline of the shear strength of the RC beams due to cyclic loading can be characterized by the width of diagonal crack. Under the same load amplitude, the larger crack width is, the greater the decline of the bearing capacity is. Besides, under the same number of cycles, the greater the load amplitude is, the larger the crack width is, the greater the decline in the bearing capacity of beams is. In addition, according to the experimental phenomena and the shear compression failure mechanism of beam, a formula for shear capacity after cyclic loading is derived for engineering use.

Biodegradable Magnesium

A stent is employed to expand a narrowed tubular organ, such as a blood vessel. However, the persistent presence of a stainless steel stent yields several problems of late thrombosis, restenosis and chronic inflammation reactions. Biodegradable magnesium stents have been introduced to solve these problems. However, magnesium-based alloys suffer from poor ductility and lower than desired fatigue performance. There is still a huge demand for further research on new alloys and stent designs. Then, as fundamental research for this, AZ31 B magnesium alloy has been investigated for the effect of equal-channel angular pressing on the fatigue properties. ECAP was conducted for one pass and eight passes at 300 °C using a die with a channel angle of 90°. An annealed sample and ECAP sample of AZ31 B magnesium alloy were subjected to tensile and fatigue tests. As a result of the tensile test, strength in the ECAP (one pass) sample was higher than in the annealed sample. As a result of the fatigue test, at stress amplitude σa = 100 MPa, the number of cycles to failure was largest in the annealed sample, medium in the ECAP (one pass) sample and lowest in the ECAP (eight passes) sample. It was suggested that the small low cycle fatigue life of the ECAP (eight passes) sample is attributable to severe plastic deformation.
