The present study proposes a novel model to modify master S-N curves of components according to their load redistribution capability reflected in different boundary conditions (BCs) based on the fracture mechanics analysis. To that end, a comprehensive numerical study was conducted on a Single Edge Notch Bend (SENB) specimen constrained with...

In this paper, we implement the combined method of drilling stop hole and FRP reinforcement to repair cracked steel plates subjected to cyclic tension. The crack initiation and growth are experimentally investigated. The stress distribution at the stop hole and the residual fatigue life are evaluated by the FEM. The effects on prolonging...

High-speed railways adopt continuous welded rail to maintain the smoothness and continuity of the rail surface. However, the welded joint became one of the weakest parts. In order to clear the characteristics and mechanical properties of the new reinforced device, a dynamic three-dimensional vehicle-reinforced device-track coupling model is...

Self-healing concrete (SHC) can heal itself from cracks and other minor imperfections and thus prolong the life of the material itself and structure. In plain and reinforced concrete structures, fatigue is one of the major causes of both material and structural failures. Under the moving load due to traffic, it is not only the relatively simple...

Fatigue meter data obtained during operational flights of Fokker F27 and Fokker F28 aircraft were re-processed and analyzed to study the variation in load experience between different aircraft of the same type. The Data covered about 470000 flights, made by 101 aircraft of 51 different operators. A simple algorithm was developed to quantify the...

Probably one of the most challenging problems in fracture mechanics is related to its application to fastener and joints. By nature, not only the quality such as material, manufacturing and mounting processes, of the fasteners are playing a role, but also the stiffness, surface conditions and geometry of the parts are to be considered. Moreover,...

Utilising the NLR Stripyield cycle-by-cycle fatigue crack growth model a basic description of the time dependent effects associated with periods of constant load level has been added to model Fatigue-Creep interactions. An outline of the basic Creep model is given along with flow diagrams of the sub programs added to the Stripyield model. Other...

As an introduction the practical significance of fatigue crack growth life prediction is related to the service life, the inspection period and the fracture control requirements. Then different aspects of fatigue crack growth in metallic materials are discussed in more detail. Important effects such as chemical environment, short cracks, crack...

ten Have, A.A. (author)
Typical characteristics of various types of service loading are presented as they were discussed during the establishment of standardised test load sequences. Counting methods are reviewed and a simple and powerful algorithm is given to perform rainflow counting and to store the counting results afterwards. Synthesis procedures are discussed...

The crack opening behaviour of a fatigue crack in a centrally cracked panel was studied using a discretised version of the Dugdale and Barenblatt model. The effect of crack growth was also included. Results obtain ed for constant amplitude loading were in agreement with data reported in the open literature. The effect of application of single...

The report contains the description, results and conclusions of a fatigue test programme which assessed the fatigue lives of fastener systems using different joints. High load transfer single shear joints were evaluated in a core programme; secondary bending and load transfer were determined experimentally. About 750 specimens were fatigue...

Fatigue tests were carried out on Redux and FM 123/5 bonded specimens at various stress levels, temperatures (RT to 65 C) and low and high test frequencies. Observations were made on the type of failure (bond line failure or sheet failure) and the significance of the adhesive squeezeout for crack nucleation. An analysis of the data and a...

Several simple crack stopping methods were evaluated In fatigue crack propagation tests on 2024-T3 Alclad sheet specimens. After precracklng until a crack of 40 mm was obtained crack stoppers were Installed and the fatigue test was continued. Crack stoppers Installed In stop holes were: a blind rivet, a hard driven rivet, a heavily tightened...

The GARTEUR Group of Responsables for Structures and Materials identified the need for an evaluation of fatigue crack propagation models. This resulted in a collaborative GARTEUR activity in which 13 variations of the F-27 transport spectrum were evaluated by 7 institutes and companies using in total 13 crack propagation prediction methods and...

The Transport Wing Standard programme (TWIST) published in March 1973 is considered to be representative for the load history of the wing root of transport aircraft. A description of the shortened version of this load programme called MINITWIST is given in the present report. In all cases where testing time is a prohibitive factor to use TWIST,...

Flight simulation tests on 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 lug specimens indicated significant fatigue life improvements obtained by expanding the holes in accordance with the split-sleeve cold work method. Geometrical distortions induced by the expansion were measured. The significance of residual stresses is analysed with reference to depth of penetration...
