Abstract
Volumetric defect is a significant factor that influences the fatigue life assessment accuracy in additive manufactured (AM) metals. In order to accurately assess the effects of volumetric defects on fatigue property of AM alloys, this study investigates the influence of geometric characteristics such as size, location, and shape of volumetric defects on low-cycle fatigue (LCF) properties. The results indicate that these factors have a significant influence on the fatigue life of material, and the volumetric defect location is found to be the most critical factor. In order to identify the critical volumetric defects on the fatigue fracture, a defect characteristic parameter “P” is proposed to characterize the influence of volumetric defect characteristics on the fatigue performance of material. Subsequently, a low-cycle fatigue life prediction model for AM metals that considers the geometrical characteristics of volumetric defects is established based on the relationship between P-parameter and low-cycle fatigue life. The accuracy of the prediction model is within 1.5x error band, which is significantly improved compared to the Manson-Coffin (M−C) model and Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.
The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
