And, an average damage per loading-cycle in the cyclic plastic deformation region is defined due to Manson-Coffin law. Then, according to the linear damage accumulation theory-Miner law, a new model for predicting the fatigue crack growth （FCG） of the opening mode crack based on the low cycle fatigue （LCF） damage is set up. The step length of crack propagation is assumed to be the size of cyclic plastic zone. It is clear that every parameter of the new model has clearly physical meaning which does not need any human debugging. Based on the LCF test data, the FCG predictions given by the new model are consistent with the FCG test results of Cr2Ni2MoV and X12CrMoWVNbN 10-1-1. What＇s more, referring to the relative researches, the good predictability of the new model is also proved on six kinds of materials.展开更多

Considering the effects of load interaction, the assumption that there is a linear dependence between the exponent ratio and the loading ratio is established to predict fatigue residual life of materials. Three experimental data sets are used to validate the rightness of the proposition. The comparisons of experimental data and predictions show that the predictions based on the proposed proposition are in good accordance with the experimental results as long as the parameters that represent the linear correlativity are set an appropriate value. Meanwhile, the accuracy of the proposition is approximated to that of an existing model. Therefore, the proposition proposed in this paper is reasonable for residual life prediction.展开更多

Results indicate that the increase in the cyclic maximum strain exhibits three-stage tendency in the process of fatigue. The macroscopic fatigue damage initiates from the ends of steel cords in the form of cylindrical crack. Damage propagates along with the increase in crack numbers, the cord/matrix interface debonding and the growth of interply cracks. By using the dynamic creep as parameter, a linear fatigue damage accumulation model was established. This model can be used under dual loading conditions to estimate the residual fatigue life of the specimen.展开更多

And, an average damage per loading-cycle in the cyclic plastic deformation region is defined due to Manson-Coffin law.

文摘The nonlinear cumulative damage model is modified to have high prediction accuracy when the high-low cycle stress frequency ratio m is large(m500).The low cycle fatigue(LCF)tests,high cycle fatigue(HCF)tests and combined high and low cycle fatigue(CCF)tests of TC11 titanium alloy were carried out,and the influencing factors of CCF life were analysed.The CCF life declines with the decrease of the ratio of high-low cycle stress frequency m.Both linear and nonlinear cumulative damage models are used to predict the CCF life.The CCF life prediction error of the linear cumulative damage model is great and the predictions tend to be overestimated,which is dangerous for engineering application.The accuracy is relatively high when the high-low cycle stress frequency ratio m500.The accuracy of nonlinear cumulative damage model is higher than that of linear model when the high-low cycle stress frequency ratio m500.Based on the relationship between high cycle average stress rmajor and material yield limit rp,0.2,a correction term is added to the nonlinear cumulative damage model and verified,which made the modified model more accurate when m500.

文摘The deepwater subsea wellhead(SW)system is the foundation for the construction of oil and gas wells and the crucial channel for operation.During riser connection operation,the SW system is subjected to cyclic dynamic loads which cause fatigue damage to the SW system,and continuously accumulated fatigue damage leads to fatigue failure of the SW system,rupture,and even blowout accidents.This paper proposes a hybrid Bayesian network(HBN)-based dynamic reliability assessment approach for deepwater SW systems during their service life.In the proposed approach,the relationship between the accumulation of fatigue damage and the fatigue failure probability of the SW system is predicted,only considering normal conditions.The HBN model,which includes the accumulation of fatigue damage under normal conditions and the other factors affecting the fatigue of the SW system,is subsequently developed.When predictive and diagnostic analysis techniques are adopted,the dynamic reliability of the SW system is achieved,and the most influential factors are determined.Finally,corresponding safety control measures are proposed to improve the reliability of the SW system effectively.The results illustrate that the fatigue failure speed increases rapidly when the accumulation fatigue damage is larger than 0.45 under normal conditions and that the reliability of the SW system is larger than 94%within the design life.

文摘Purpose–The principle of infinite life design currently directs fatigue resistance strategies for metro car bodies.However,this principle might not fully account for the dynamic influence of operational loads and the inevitable presence of defects.This study aims to integrate methods of service life estimation and residual life assessment,which are based on operational loads,into the existing infinite life verification framework to further ensure the operational safety of subway trains.Design/methodology/approach–Operational loads and fatigue loading spectra were determined through the field test.The material test was conducted to investigate characteristics of the fracture toughness and the crack growth rate.The fatigue strength of the metro car body was first verified using the finite element method and Moore–Kommers–Japer diagrams.The service life was then estimated by applying the Miner rule and high-cycle fatigue curves in a modified form of the Basquin equation.Finally,the residual life was assessed utilizing a fracture assessment diagram and a fitted curve of crack growth rate adhered to the Paris formula.Findings–Neither the maximum utilization factor nor the cumulative damage exceeds the threshold value of 1.0,the metro car body could meet the design life requirement of 30 years or 6.6 million km.However,three out of five fatigue key points were significantly influenced by the operational loads,which indicates that a single fatigue strength verification cannot achieve the infinite life design objective of the metro car body.For a projected design life of 30 years,the tolerance depth is 12.2 mm,which can underscore a relatively robust damage tolerance capability.Originality/value–The influence of operational loads on fatigue life was presented by the discrepancy analysis between fatigue strength verification results and service life estimation results.The fracture properties of butt-welded joints were tested and used for the damage tolerance assessment.The damage tolerance life can be effectively related by a newly developed equation in this study.It can be a valuable tool to provide the theoretical guidance and technical support for the structural improvements and maintenance decisions of the metro car body.

文摘A Combined Cycle Fatigue(CCF)life prediction model considering the effect of load sequence was proposed.To account for the interaction of high and low cycle fatigue,the CCF load was divided into two different loading paths of variable stress amplitude and stress ratio.Based on the iso-damage curves,a CCF life prediction model independent of fitting parameters was proposed,agreeing well with the experimental results.Finally,the effect of load sequence on CCF was discussed according to the fracture morphology of designed blade-like specimen.The results showed that the predicted CCF life was almost located in three-fold dispersion band for the LCF-HCF(LH)and HCF-LCF(HL)loading paths,especially for the average results of both.Compared with other models,the proposed model had better predictive and generalization abilities for multiple materials and variable experimental conditions.

文摘A theoretical model of semi-elliptic surface crack growth based on the low cycle strain damage accumulation near the crack tip along the cracking direction and the Newman-Raju formula is developed. The crack is regarded as a sharp notch with a small curvature radius and the process zone is assumed to be the size of cyclic plastic zone. The modified Hutchinson, Rice and Rosengren （HRR） formulations are used in the presented study. Assuming that the shape of surface crack front is controlled by two critical points： the deepest point and the surface point. The theoretical model is applied to semi-elliptic surface cracked A1 7075-T6 alloy plate under cyclic loading, and five different initial crack shapes are discussed in present study. Good agreement between experimental and theoretical results is obtained.
文摘New development trends in electronic operating data logging systems enable classification, recording and storage of load spectrums of mechanical transmission components during usage. Based on this fact, the application of online reliability evaluation and reliability prediction procedures are presented. Different methods are considered to calculate reliability, depending on actual load spectrum and a Wohler curve. The prediction of a reliability trend is analyzed by the application of time series models. For this purpose, exponential smoothing model, regression model, and the ARIMA model are considered to evaluate data and predict an decreasing reliability trends during usage.

文摘A novel method is presented to evaluate the complicated fatigue behavior of gears made of20Cr2Ni4 A.Fatigue tests are conducted in a high-frequency push-pull fatigue tester,and acoustic emission（AE）technique is used to acquire metal fatigue signals.After analyzing large number of AE frequency spectrum,we find that：the crack extension can be expressed as the energy of specific frequency band,which is abbreviated as F-energy.To further validate the fatigue behavior,some correlation analysis is applied between F-energy and some AE parameters.Experimental results show that there is significant correlation among the Fenergy,root mean square（RMS）,relative energy,and hits.The findings can be used to validate the effectiveness of the F-energy in predicting fatigue crack propagation and remaining life for parts in-service.F-energy,as a new AE parameter,is first put forward in the area of fatigue crack growth.

文摘Firstly, constant amplitude P-S_a-S_m-N_c surface family is established.Secondly, four basic assumptions, i.e., monotonically increasing, non-coupling, separability andnonintersecting of fatigue damage accumulation are proposed from the viewpoint of both damagemechanics and fracture mechanics. Then the individual isodamage D-S_a-S_m-N surface under constantamplitude loading is constructed and the two-dimensional individual Miner's rule is derived.Consequently, the two-dimensional probabilistic Miner's rule (TPMiner) is established and proved fora population subjected to variable amplitude loading. Finally, with successfully experimentverification, TPMiner proves be to very useful and feasible in fatigue reliability theory.

文摘Phased-Mission Systems(PMS)are widely applied in aerospace,telecommunication and intelligent systems for multiple,consecutive and non-overlapping phases of missions.The phasedependent stresses and system structure cause some difficulties to the reliability analysis of PMSs.In this paper,we analyze the physical isolation effects on the degradation speeds and across-phase damage accumulations of failure mechanisms.And,some corresponding reliability and unreliability formulas are derived.Besides,a hierarchical Binary Decision Diagram(BDD)-based modeling method is proposed for incorporating functional and physical isolation effects into BDD models,and the analytical method with phase algebras is introduced for studying the failure behavior of PMS with functional dependence.In the case study,we evaluate the collision avoidance system of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle as an example to demonstrate the proposed modeling and analysis method.Results show that the physical isolation effects have significant influences on the degradations of components,which deserves detailed analysis for a more practical and realistic PMS’s failure behavior.
