NUMERICAL MODELLING OF A 3D RAIL RCF ‘SQUAT’‐TYPE CRACK UNDER OPERATING LOADFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 21 Số 8 - Trang 923-935 - 1998
Stanisław Bogdański, M. Olzak, Jacek Stupnicki
The analysis is based on the 3D FE model of the rail Rolling‐Contact‐Fatigue
(RCF) ‘squat’‐type crack, which tends to be common in tracks with high‐speed
passengers and mixed traffic. The model incorporates the section of rail and a
wheel of real geometry, in which the wheel is rolling over the running band of
rail containing the ‘squat’‐type crack. The state of stress in the vicinity of
the crack... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of compression stresses, stress level and stress order on fatigue crack growth of multiple site damageFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 35 Số 10 - Trang 903-917 - 2012
J.‐H. KIM, Thanh Chau-Dinh, Goangseup Zi, Kong Jungsik
ABSTRACTStructural components are generally subjected to a wide stress spectrum
over their lifetime. Service loads are accentuated at the areas of stress
concentration, mainly at the connection of components. When there is a critical
level of multiple site damage at connections, cracks link up to form a large
crack which abruptly reduces the residual strength of the damaged structural
member. Ther... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanism modelling of shot peening effect on fatigue life predictionFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 116-125 - 2010
Yibing Xiang, Y. Liu
ABSTRACTA new mechanism modelling is proposed in this paper to explain the shot
peening effect on fatigue life predictions of mechanical components. The
proposed methodology is based on the crack growth analysis of shot peened
specimens, which are affected by the interaction of surface roughness and
residual stress produced during the shot peening process. An asymptotic stress
intensity factor sol... hiện toàn bộ
Fatigue design of structures under thermomechanical loadingsFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 25 Số 12 - Trang 1199-1206 - 2002

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a global approach to the design of structures that
experience thermomechanical fatigue loading, which has been applied successfully
in the case of cast‐iron exhaust manifolds. After a presentation of the design
context in the automotive industry, the important hypotheses and choices of this
approach, based on a thermal 3D computation, an elastoviscoplastic constitutive

A new energy‐based isothermal and thermo‐mechanical fatigue lifetime prediction model for aluminium–silicon–magnesium alloyFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 36 Số 12 - Trang 1323-1335 - 2013
G.H. Farrahi, Mohammad Azadi, George Winter, Wilfried Eichlseder
ABSTRACTIn this paper, a new fatigue lifetime prediction model is presented for
the aluminium–silicon–magnesium alloy, A356.0. This model is based on the
plastic strain energy density per cycle including two correction factors in
order to consider the effect of the mean stress and the maximum temperature. The
thermal term considers creep and oxidation damages in A356.0 alloy. To calibrate
the mode... hiện toàn bộ
CASTING DEFECTS AND THE FATIGUE BEHAVIOUR OF AN ALUMINIUM CASTING ALLOYFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 213-227 - 1990
Malcolm J. Couper, A. E. Neeson, John R. Griffiths
Abstract— The fatigue properties of un‐notched polished specimens of an
aluminium casting alloy have been measured for various heat‐treatment conditions
and at various mean stresses. The relation between fatigue life and alternating
stress is insensitive to heat‐treatment and, apparently, to mean stress. It was
observed that failure initiated at interdendritic shrinkage defects: evidence of

A NON‐LINEAR CONTINUOUS FATIGUE DAMAGE MODELFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 1-17 - 1988
Jean‐Louis Chaboche, Priscille Lesne
Abstract— ‐A non‐linear cumulative fatigue damage model proposed previously is
applied to different steels and various loading situations, including two‐level
tests and block‐programs. Its ability to describe all the main features of
fatigue damage and the ease of its practical use for engineers are discussed and
several examples cited. The relationship with other formulations are pointed out

ESTIMATION OF TORSIONAL FATIGUE STRENGTH OF MEDIUM CARBON STEEL BARS WITH A CIRCUMFERENTIAL CRACK BY THE CYCLIC RESISTANCE‐CURVE METHODFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 21 Số 9 - Trang 1067-1076 - 1998
Yu Hc, Keisuke Tanaka, Yoshiaki Akiniwa
Near‐threshold fatigue crack propagation tests were performed on
circumferentially precracked round bars of a medium carbon steel under torsional
loading. The crack propagation rate decreased with crack extension, because of
the shear contact of crack faces. The crack propagation rate without the
influence of crack‐surface contact was determined by extrapolating to zero crack
extension the relatio... hiện toàn bộ
AN UNDERSTANDING OF FATIGUE THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF NON‐METALLIC INCLUSIONS IN STEELFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 79-95 - 1981

Abstract —In recent years the low fatigue growth rate regime has been the
subject of extensive study revealing its complex and often seemingly
inconsistent nature. The value of alternating stress intensity at threshold

history, monotonie and cyclic yield strength, grain size and environment. A

A FATIGUE CRACK CLOSURE MECHANISM IN TITANIUMFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 135-148 - 1979
N. Walker, C.J. Beevers
Abstract— Fatigue crack closure in commercial titanium has been investigated by
examining the crack profile using a two‐stage replica technique and by
monitoring the crack raouth opening displacement. The replicas show that when
closure occurs the crack does not close back from the crack tip but at discrete
contact points along the crack faces. The observed closure mechanism is
therefore quite dif... hiện toàn bộ
