Fatigue life under non-Gaussian random loading from various models

Abstract

is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. AbstractFatigue test results on the 10HNAP steel under constant amplitude and random loading with non-Gaussian probability distribution function, zero mean value and wide-band frequency spectrum have been used to compare the life time estimation of the models proposed by Bannantine, Fatemi-Socie, Socie, Wang-Brown, Morel and Łagoda-Macha. Except the Morel proposal which accumulates damage step by step with a proper methodology, all the other models use a cycle counting method. The rainflow algorithm is used to extract cycles from random histories of damage parameters in time domain. In the last model, where a strain energy density parameter is employed, additionally spectral method is evaluated for fatigue life calculation in the frequency domain. The best and very similar results of fatigue life assessment have been obtained using the models proposed by Socie and by Łagoda-Macha, both in time and frequency domains for the last one.

A Review of Critical Plane Orientations in Multiaxial Fatigue Failure Criteria of Metallic Materials

“…, non-proportional(Lagoda et al, 1999;Lagoda 2001;Banvillet et al, 2004;Itoh et alCritical plane is defined as the plane experiencing the maximum damage.…”

Prediction of microgeometrical influences on micropitting fatigue damage on 32CrMoV13 steel

“…However as illustrated in Fig. 5, the shear stress may be out-of-phase with all the three normal components and this warrants special attention when changes in the history of stress components are to be analysed [37][38][39]. Fig.…”

Probabilistic framework for multiaxial LCF assessment under material variability

“…Thus, appropriate treatment of uncertainty in fatigue design has become a significant topic with widespread interest [17]- [24]. Prior work on statistical or probabilistic aspects of fatigue includes modeling of the variability in material properties (e.g., elastic modulus, fracture toughness, yield strength) [6], [17], [25]- [27], equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) [21], [28]- [30], microstructures as well as defects [31]- [35], stress-life data [36]- [39], and under multiaxial conditions [40]- [45]. Generally, two aspects need to be addressed for probabilistic fatigue design: a valid PoF-based fatigue model and a probabilistic framework for treating both the random material variables and the uncertainty on model parameters in the fatigue model [46], which has been reviewed in detail recently by Pineau et al [47].…”
