Bearing Behavior

For the economical construction of fatigue loaded structures with textile reinforced concrete (TRC), it is necessary to investigate the fatigue behavior of the materials. Since next to the tensile load-bearing behavior, the bond behavior of a material is crucial as well, the present paper deals with the bond fatigue of TRC with epoxy-impregnated carbon textiles. First, static tests are carried out to determine the sufficient anchorage length of the investigated material combination. Afterwards, the influence of cyclic loading on the necessary anchorage length, deformation, stiffness, and residual strength is investigated. The results of the cyclic tests are summarized in stress-number of cycles to failure (S-N) diagrams. In the end, it can be said that the cyclic loading has no negative impact on the necessary anchorage length. If specimens withstand the cyclic loading, there is no difference between their residual strength and the reference strength. The failure of specimens occurs only at high load levels, provided that the anchorage length is sufficient.

Loading Mode

Fatigue behaviors of conventional alumina ceramics in cyclic loading with hemisphere and cylinder punches are investigated with modified small punch (MSP) tests. Residual strengths are used to quantify the degree of fatigue damage. The dependences of the residual MSP strength on loading mode, cyclic loading magnitude, frequency, and puncher shape have been discussed in detail. Fatigue behavior studies could be very convenient and effective because MSP tests could perform the cyclic loading and then evaluate the residual strength consistently and effectively.

Intralaminar Cracking

The first failure mode in tensile quasi-static and in tension-tension fatigue (cyclic) loading of composite laminates is intralaminar cracking in layers with off-axis fiber orientation. These tunnel-building cracks are result of combined action of in-plane transverse and shear stresses. We assume that due to non-uniform fiber distribution (clustering) which leads to local stress concentrations, different positions in the layer have different resistance to crack initiation (initiation strength). If so, the weakest position in quasi-static loading is also the weakest in fatigue and some of the distribution parameters for fatigue behavior can be obtained in quasi-static tests, thus significantly reducing the number of required fatigue tests. Methodology is suggested and validated for cases when the cracking is initiation governed-initiated crack almost instantly propagates along fibers. Distribution parameters are identified using data in low crack density region where stress perturbations from cracks do not interact. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed for cracking in layers under quasi-static and cyclic loading using novel approach for computationally efficient stress state calculation between existing cracks.

Background: Experiments on the fatigue of tendons have shown that cyclic loading induces failure at stresses lower than the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the tendons. The number of cycles to failure Nf has been shown to be dependent upon the magnitude of the applied cyclic stress. Method of approach: Utilizing data collected by Schechtman (1995), we demonstrate that the principles of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) can be used to predict the fatigue behavior of tendons under cyclic loading for maximum stress levels that are higher than 10% of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the tendon (the experimental results at 10% UTS did not fit with our equations). Conclusions: LEFM and other FM approaches may prove to be very valuable in advancing our understanding of damage accumulation in soft connective tissues.

Ni-Ti superelastic alloys have been successfully used in orthodontic clinics thanks to their good biomechanical and biochemical behavior. However, during treatment, some orthodontic wires may break in the oral cavity. The susceptibility of these alloys to cyclic loadings and to hydrogen embrittlement is supposed to be main causes of these unexpected failures. This study presents a contribution to studying the effect of hydrogen, obtained after cathodically charging in 0.9% NaCl solution, on the fatigue behavior of Ni-Ti commercial orthodontic wires subjected to high-cycle fatigue. Fatigue tests were analyzed using self-heating method based on observing thermal effects under mechanical cyclic loading. The results obtained with self-heating approach imply that the increase in hydrogen charging time is connected with an increase in the mean stabilized temperature and a decrease in the fatigue life. Self-heating method allows a rapid prediction of the endurance limit with a good reproducibility of fatigue tests at high number of cycles. Furthermore, cyclic stress–induced transformations and conventional fatigue tests under strain control are considered in this work to investigate the effect of hydrogen on cyclic loading type and to acquire for a better understanding of the interaction between hydrogen and thermo-mechanical mechanisms in Ni-Ti alloys.

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.

The low quality of adhesion performance on polymeric surfaces has forced the development of specific pretreatments able to toughen the interface between substrate and adhesive. Among these methods, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment (APPT) appears particularly suitable for its environmental compatibility and its effectiveness in altering the chemical state of the surface. In this work, an experimental study on adhesively bonded joints realized using polyamide as substrates and polyurethane as the structural adhesive was carried out with the intent to characterize their fatigue behavior, which represents a key issue of such joints during their working life. The single lap joint (SLJ) geometry was chosen and several surface pretreatments were compared with each other: degreasing, abrasion (alone and followed by APPT) and finally APPT. The results show that the abrasion combined with APPT presents the most promising behavior, which appears consistent with the higher percentage of life spent for crack propagation found by means of DIC on this class of joints with respect to the others. APPT alone confers a good fatigue resistance with respect to the simple abrasion, especially at a low number of cycles to failure.

Isothermal Fatigue

One possibility to improve the fatigue life and strength of metallic materials is shot peening. However, at elevated temperatures, the induced residual stresses may relax. To investigate the influence of shot peening on high-temperature fatigue behavior, isothermal fatigue tests were conducted on shot-peened and untreated samples of gamma TiAl 48-2-2 at 750 °C in air. The shot-peened material was characterized using EBSD, microhardness, and residual stress analyses. Shot peening leads to a significant increase in surface hardness and high compressive residual stresses near the surface. Both effects may have a positive influence on lifetime. However, it also leads to surface notches and tensile residual stresses in the bulk material with a negative impact on cyclic lifetime. During fully reversed uniaxial tension-compression fatigue tests (R = −1) at a stress amplitude of 260 MPa, the positive effects dominate, and the fatigue lifetime increases. At a lower stress amplitude of 230 MPa, the negative effect of internal tensile residual stresses dominates, and the lifetime decreases. Shot peening leads to a transition from surface to volume crack initiation if the surface is not damaged by the shots.

As more aircrafts reach or exceed their design life, it is becoming very important to research multiple cracks damage, especially the multiple site damage (MSD) in order to re-evaluate their service life and damage tolerance/durability performance. The existing of MSD may remarkably reduce the residual strength of an aerospace structural component than those with a singe lead crack. This study investigated the residual strength of aluminum alloy sheet with MSD through three types of aluminum specimens test. Aluminum panels with bare collinear constant diameter holes were chosen as specimens. After some constant amplitude tension-tension load cycles, the MSD were found in these specimens since there were multiple fatigue cracks emanating from the saw cuts of holes. The residual strength was recorded as the maximum load when every specimen was subjected to monotonically increasing tensile load until failure occurred. In different failure prediction criteria that were often used in engineering in order to evaluate the accuracy of these criteria, Swift criterion (ligament yield) criterion got more accurate prediction results than other criteria. Although Swift criterion was more accurate than some other criteria, its error was still big for some specimens. Two modified approaches were proposed in order to get more accurate and appropriate failure criterion for MSD structure.
