ABSTRACT The influence of welding residual stresses in stiffened panels on effective stress intensity factor (SIF) values and fatigue crack growth rate is studied this paper. Interpretation relevant effects different length scales such as dislocation appearance microstructural nucleation propagation taken into account using molecular dynamics simulations well a Tanaka–Mura approach for the analysis problem. Mode I SIFs, K , were calculated by finite element method shell elements tip...
ABSTRACT This study investigates the fatigue life of AlSi10Mg alloy produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) using experimental and multiscale modeling methods. A micromodel developed based on EBSD SEM data simulates microcrack nucleation with Tanaka–Mura model FEM. The effects alloys heterogeneous microstructure, including SiC particles, crack initiation are examined. Micropillar tests high‐resolution analyses slip system behavior plastic deformation. Long propagation is analyzed NASGRO...
Abstract Aim To examine the use of an Nd:YAG laser in removing gutta‐percha fillings from root canals when used conjunction with eucalyptol, dimethylformamide (DMF) or no solvent. Methodology Root‐canal (sealer and gutta‐percha) were removed irradiation 20 Hz/1.5 W 30 roots randomly divided three groups. In group 1, solvent was eucalyptol; 2, DMF; 3, used. Laser performed until temperature measured on surface increased by 4 °C over room temperature. The treatment deemed complete apical...
For most engineering alloys, the long fatigue crack growth under a certain stress level can be described by Paris law. The law provides correlation between rate (FCGR or da/dN), range of intensity factor (ΔK), and material constants C m. A well-established test procedure is typically used to determine m, considering standard specimens, notched pre-cracked. Definition all details necessary obtain feasible comparable are covered standards. However, these cost-expensive tests replaced...
Abstract This paper deals with the modelling of short crack initiation within a microstructure medium carbon steel under fatigue loading, as well influence overload on period. Studies long growth show that introduces first an increase in rate is then followed decrease, so‐called retardation. A micro‐model containing material analysed using finite element method combination model for development – assessment number cycles needed was based Tanaka–Mura equation. The analysis brings correlation...
The aim of the paper is to investigate influence compressive residual stresses on fatigue initiation life (S-Nini) curve AISI 1141 steel. analysis has been performed by means a micro-structurally-based crack modelling approach. focus set local (surface) typically imposed surface treatment technique known as shot -peening. By superimposing such resulting from outer cyclic loading, it could be shown that an impact in S-Nini diagram can achieved.
In this paper determination of mechanical properties composite material using experimental and numerical approach is presented. The a laminate obtained in the experiment are used for verification numerically values, as well estimation load-carrying capacities engine cover light aircraft. Composite specimens, consisting epoxy matrix glass fibers with orientation angles 0º, 450, 900, have been made according to standards, were investigated tensile three-point bending tests. strength,...
