International Journal of Fatigue 181 2023

Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

In this study, the fatigue crack initiation behaviour and fatigue crack initiation life of the Ti-6Al-4 V alloy, which had circular and slender grains, were quantitatively evaluated based on slip line length and out-of-plane component of Schmidt factor. As the results, in crystal grains where fatigue cracks initiated, the slip system that contributes to crack initiation could be identified by considering the out-of-plane component of the Schmidt factor (SFsinΩ), and the fatigue cracks were initiated by the basal slip of the primally α phase in all specimens. Furthermore, regarding the prediction of the location of fatigue crack initiation, it is clear that the grains that are candidates for fatigue crack initiation could be estimated based on the relationship between the slip line length of the basal slip system that contributes to crack initiation in each grain and SFsinΩ. Finally, the macro fatigue crack initiation life could be estimated using a parameter of P that combines micro crack initiation driving force Pi and micro crack propagation driving force Pp.

A plane bending fatigue test was conducted on Ti-6Al-4V, and the crystal grains where the fatigue crack initiated were identified from the crystal orientation map obtained by using the EBSD method. In addition, the slip system, which generated the fatigue crack initiation, was identified by calculating the out-of-plane component of the Schmid factor (SF) of each slip system. As a result, fatigue cracks were found to occur owing to basal slip. In this study, the out-of-plane component of the SF was mapped by considering the effect of the crystal grain size. The results clarified that the number of crystal grains where fatigue crack may initiate can be limited by using the out-of-plane component of the SF and the grain size.

In recent years, glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) applications have expanded. This study elucidates the fatigue fracture mechanism of GFRP with different fiber orientations and experimentally clarifies the relationship between fiber orientation and fracture mechanism by using specimens with unidirectional simple fiber orientations. First, Static tensile and fatigue tests are performed on two types of specimens with fibers oriented in a single direction (parallel to the load axis and orthogonal to the load axis), and it is found that specimens with a single fiber orientation parallel to the load axis shows higher strength in both tests. Next, In the case of GFRP with fibers oriented parallel to the load axis, it is found that fatigue loading causes fatigue crack initiation at the fiber ends, followed by fiber localized debonding due to crack propagation at the fiber-matrix interface and that the crack propagation rate gradually decreases and stops. Therefore, this suggests that the increase in fiber length of fibers oriented parallel to the load axis in GFRP leads to an increase in the crack propagation life at the fiber-matrix interface, which leads to an increase in fatigue life.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FATIGUE 160 2022.7

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCI LTD

The mechanism of residual stress relaxation for carburized steels was elucidated and their fatigue limit was estimated. The compressive residual stress in the carburized steel after rotating bending fatigue tests is mainly influenced by the relaxation during the compressive loading phase, although it increases at the early stage. The fatigue limit of carburized steels can be estimated according to the modified Goodman diagram considering the residual stress relaxation. The proposed equation shows the maximum value of the fatigue limit (1013 MPa) of carburized steel and the maximum value of the compressive residual stress contributing to the increased fatigue limit.

The welded areas of spot welding of actual vehicles are confirmed welding defects such as blowholes between steel plates. However, most of studies on the strength reliability of spot welded structures do not consider welding defects, and it is necessary to clarify the effects of weld defects on the strength reliability of spot welded structures. This study investigated the effect of the size and location of through holes simulating welding defects on the fatigue properties of tensile-shear-type spot welded joints using automobile steel sheets. Moreover, the effect of the loading type both tensile-shear and cross-tension type on the fatigue properties of the spot welded joints was investigated, and a unified evaluation of the fatigue life for different loading type joints was established. The size and location of a welding defect do not affect the fatigue strength or the fatigue fracture morphologies of tensile-shear-type spot welded joints. This is because the slit tip of spot welded joints is in the singularity stress field under mixed-mode condition, regardless of the welding defect of the joint. Therefore, the equivalent stress intensity factor at the slit tips of joints can uniformly evaluate the fatigue life of joints with different loading types.

In this study, to clarify the weld area shape that achieves excellent fatigue properties in laser welded joints, an phi-shaped weld, which is a combination of a circular weld and a linear weld, was selected for evaluation. Joints with a linear weld having three different linear weld angles with respect to the load axis were fabricated and fatigue tests were conducted. The results showed that the effect of the linear weld angle was remarkable in a relatively high loading amplitude range, and the fatigue life increased as the angle increased. In addition, three-dimensional observation of fatigue cracks was carried out to investigate the fracture mechanism and the factors causing the difference in fatigue strength. It was clarified that the crack propagation life is increased because the crack propagates in the thickness direction not only at circular weld area but also at the linear weld area, when the linear weld angle respecting to loading direction are 45 degrees, 90 degrees. Furthermore, three-dimensional FEM analysis was carried out to recognize the stresses field around the linear weld area. It was clarified that the stresses around the weld area were distributed as the linear weld angle increased, which delayed crack initiation, leading to excellent fatigue properties. Therefore, the fatigue life in the high test-force amplitude region can he improved by providing a weld area shape that distributes the stress and allows the crack to propagate in the thickness direction.

The structures of a hydraulic excavator with one-sided welded joints are investigated in this study. We investigated the fatigue lifetime evaluation method using S-version FEM. Especially we considered combination of cracks from multiple crack origins. Moreover, to achieve a more precise evaluation, we obtained the crack growth rate of the excavator weld using the unloading elastic compliance method instead of some engineering standard values. Results show that, the fatigue lifetime obtained from the analysis of all width crack; type1 - all cracks named in this study is extremely short compared with test results. Considering the combination of cracks from multiple crack origins, the S-version FEM provides an evaluation similar fatigue lifetime of a test piece imitating the excavator.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：WILEY

The fatigue life and fracture mechanism of friction stir spot welded tension-shear joints using 590-MPa class steel as a base material under constant-amplitude conditions were investigated with focus on welding dimension variations caused by tool wear. The fatigue limit of the friction stir spot welding (FSSW) joint used for this study is significantly low compared with the static tensile strength of the joint itself. It was clarified that the FSSW joint in this study exhibited two different failure morphologies regardless of the applied load level: base metal fracture and weld area fracture. Although the welding state changes due to the tool wear phenomenon that produce two types of fracture modes in relation to the welding rip diameter, they have no effect on the fatigue strength, regardless of the applied load.

A. Niwa, Y. Akita, J. Arakawa, H. Akebono, A. Sugeta

International Journal of Fatigue 140 2020.11

Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

In this study, the bending fatigue properties of an oxide dispersion-strengthened platinum–rhodium alloy subjected to axial stress at 1400 °C were evaluated, and the effects of the axial stress and life prediction methods were examined. When the axial stress increased, the fracture mechanism changed from fatigue fracture to creep fracture, thus reducing the fracture time. The creep rupture time due to the stress generated at the center of the thickness direction was compared with the fatigue failure time due to the stress amplitude of the surface; the shorter one corresponded to the main fracture mechanism. Creep rupture was the main factor affecting the stress levels of the actual equipment, and its life should be predicted according to the creep rupture time.

FATIGUE & FRACTURE OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS & STRUCTURES 43 ( 2 ) 211 - 220 2020.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：WILEY

The objective of the study described in this article is to evaluate the effect of shakedown of surface compressive residual stresses introduced by shot peening on fatigue limit of stainless steel. First, the tension-compression fatigue tests were conducted on ASTM CA6NM specimens under controlled load and displacement conditions to acquire a fatigue limit diagram under various compressive mean stress. The results showed that shakedown of negative mean stress occurs under controlled displacement. We then carried out in-plane-bending fatigue tests under controlled load conditions on welded ASTM 309 stainless steel specimens with surface compressive residual stress introduced by ultrasonic shot peening. The results provide a fatigue limit of 415 MPa, which agrees with the value of 404 MPa calculated based on a modified Goodman line considering shakedown. Therefore, it is suggested that the surface layer is restricted by the internal bulk that creates controlled displacement conditions and the shakedown of surface compressive residual stress occurs.

We performed in-plane bending fatigue tests under controlled load conditions on ASTM 309 stainless steel specimens with surface compressive residual stress. The results provide a fatigue limit of 415 MPa, which agrees with the value of 404 MPa calculated based on a modified Goodman line considering shakedown. Therefore, the surface layer was clearly restricted by the internal bulk and was relieved under controlled displacement, after which shakedown occurred. Then, the fatigue limit of the metal material with surface compressive residual stress should be estimated by using a modified Goodman line considering shakedown to avoid unexpected fractures that could occur by following a modified Goodman line that does not consider shakedown.

MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS 61 ( 8 ) 1593 - 1599 2020

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：JAPAN INST METALS & MATERIALS

In order to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasonic shot peening treatment (USP) as repairing method for SCS6 material with surficial fatigue crack for hydraulic turbine runner, plane bending fatigue tests were carried out for USP treated SCS6 containing a surface fatigue crack with 1 mm in length and the fatigue crack propagation after USP was observed by a plastic replica method. As a result, the fatigue crack propagation life of SCS6 containing a surface fatigue crack was dramatically improved by USP treatment. Furthermore, the initial effective stress intensity factor ranges were calculated in the USP treated and untreated SCS6 containing a surface fatigue crack, respectively. According to the calculation, it was clear that the surficial fatigue crack could be harmless under the condition that the calculated initial effective stress intensity factor range considering the stress opening a fatigue crack, which was acquired by the unloading elastic compliance method, was less than the threshold of effective stress intensity factor range. Therefore, USP treatment is effective for repairing method of SCS6 containing surficial fatigue crack for hydraulic turbine runner.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FATIGUE 117 371 - 383 2018.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCI LTD

The influence of microstructure on crack initiation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated by using atomic force microscope (AFM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). This research considers the effects of both the Schmid factor (SF) value and the slip direction of the grain on fatigue crack initiation sites. The result shows that fatigue cracks tend to form basal slips in primary alpha grains. In addition, these cracks are generated from primary alpha grains with relatively high basal SF values. However, it was found that fatigue cracks do not necessarily originate from basal planes of primary alpha grain with the maximum SF value. Finally, a new parameter that combines SF and the slip angle Omega (slip angle Omega is the angle between the specimen surface and the slip direction) was suggested and that parameter enables to predict fatigue crack initiation sites, since it was revealed that fatigue cracks initiated from primary alpha grains with high SFsin Omega values.

This study considers shakedown in evaluating the fatigue limit of metals with compressive residual stress at the surface. We begin by applying tension-compression fatigue tests to ASTM CA6NM under conditions of controlled load and displacement to obtain fatigue limit diagram in compressive mean stress. The results imply that shakedown occurs under the condition of controlled displacement, therefore, shakedown should be considered when evaluating the fatigue limit of metals with compressive residual stress at the surface.

Surface Engineering 30 ( 9 ) 662 - 669 2014.9

Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

In order to investigate the effect of an ultrasonic shot peening (USP) treatment on the fatigue characteristics of structural materials for hydroelectric facilities, plane bending fatigue tests were carried out using USP treated ASTM CA6NM stainless cast steel. The results showed that the fatigue limit of the USP material was approximately 60% higher than that of the untreated material. Haigh's diagram evaluation suggested that an increase in crack initiation resistance associated with the high hardness and compressive residual stress by USP treatment was the main reason for the improvement in fatigue strength. Furthermore, the simulation of fatigue crack propagation implied that compressive residual stress leads to a low crack propagation rate compared with the untreated material. Consequently, it is clear that the USP treatment is an effective process for improving the fatigue properties of CA6NM.

In this paper, in order to investigate the effect of the ultrasonic shot peening (USP) treatment on fatigue characteristics of the structural materials for hydroelectric facilities, plane bending fatigue tests were carried out using stainless cast steel ASTM CA6NM performed by USP treatment. The fatigue test results showed that the fatigue strength of the USP materials was approximately 60% higher than that of the untreated materials. In order to examine the reason for that, the effect of USP treatment on fatigue crack initiation behavior was evaluated based on the Haigh's diagram. This evaluation implied that increasing the crack initiation resistance associated with high hardness and high compressive residual stress at surface by USP treatment is the major cause for the improvement of fatigue strength. Furthermore, the effect of USP treatment on fatigue crack propagation behavior was also examined by simulating the crack growth rate considering the stress intensity factor at crack tip. Crack propagation simulation results suggested that compressive residual stress leads crack growth rate slow compared with untreated material. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
