In the present work a constitutive model is developed which permits the assessment of the structural performance through a criterion based on cumulative damage. For it, a damage index is defined and is evaluated through the application of the Miner's rule in low-cycle fatigue. However, the damage index is not considered as a posteriori variable since is incorporated explicitly as an internal variable in the constitutive equations which produces a direct coupling between the damage and the structural mechanical behaviour allowing the possibility of considering as a whole different coupled phenomena. For the elaboration of this damage model, the concepts of the mechanics of continuum medium are applied on lumped dissipative models in order to obtain a coupled simplified model. As a result an elastoplastic model coupled with damage and fatigue damage is obtained.

Railway wheelset is the most essential part which undergoes severe cyclic loadings. In recent years, there has been increasing need for insuring the safety of running as the speed of the railway vehicles is getting higher. So it is required on the assessment of fatigue characteristics of the wheelset to consider plastic deformation which might be probable in the severe loading condition. In this study, total-strain controlled low cycle fatigue(LCF) test were performed to observe the LCF behaviors of the railway wheels and axles using companion specimens method. From the experimental results, the cyclic mechanical properties have been evaluated and total strain amplitude versus life relationship have been derived using the empirical Coffin-Manson law.

Automobile industries have been focusing their efforts on the development of exhaust manifolds using high temperature stainless steels. Exhaust manifolds fabricated with stainless steels can be categorized into tubular and cast ones. The former is usually manufactured by forming and welding process and the latter by vacuum casting process. In the present study, high temperature mechanical properties of 5 austenitic and 4 ferritic stainless steels were investigated by performing a series of high temperature tensile and low cycle fatigue tests. One of the austenitic stainless steels was vacuum cast and the others sand cast. Fatigue life of ferritic stainless steels was higher than that of austenitic ones.

Generally, the mechanical components and structures are joined by many welding techniques, and therefore the welded joints are inevitable in the construction of structures. The Alloy 617 was initially developed for high temperature applications above $800^{\circ}C$. It is often considered for use in aircraft and gas turbines, chemical manufacturing components, and power generation structures. Especially, the Alloy 617 is the primary candidate for construction of intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) on a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) system. In the present paper, the low cycle fatigue (LCF) life of Alloy 617 base metal (BM) and the gas tungsten arc welded (GTAWed) weld joints (WJ) are evaluated by using the previous experimental results under strain controlled LCF tests. The LCF tests have been performed at room temperature with total strain ranges of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5%. The LCF lives for the BM and WJ have been evaluated from the Coffin-Manson and strain energy based life methods. For both the BM and WJ, the LCF lives predicted by both Coffin-Manson and strain energy based life methods was found to well coincide with the experimental data.

Ni기 초내열합금인 GTD111 DS는 가스터빈 블레이드에 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 운전조건과 유사한 조건을 설정하여 GTD111 DS의 저주기 피로시험을 실시하였다 상온, $760^{\circ}C$, $870^{\circ}C$의 온도범위와 다양한 변형률에서 저주기 피로시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 총 변형률이 증가함에 따라 피로수명은 감소하였다. 상온 및 $760^{\circ}C$에서는 주기적 경화반응이 나타났으며 $870^{\circ}C$에서는 주기적 연화반응이 나타났다. $870^{\circ}C$에서 응력완화 현상은 유지시간에 따른 크리프의 영향으로 나타났다. 피로수명과 총 변형률의 관계는 Coffin-Manson 식을 통해 얻었다. 파단면은 SEM을 통해 초기균열 및 피로진전지역을 관찰하였다.

When strain sensing cables are under long-term stress and cyclic loading, creep may occur in the jacket material and each layer of the cable structure may slide relative to other layers, causing fatigue in the cables. This study proposes a device for testing the fatigue characteristics of three types of cables operating under different conditions to establish a decay model for observing the patterns of strain decay. The fatigue characteristics of cables encased in polyurethane (PU), GFRP-reinforced, and wire rope-reinforced jackets were compared. The findings are outlined as follows. The cable strain decayed exponentially, and the decay process involved quick decay, slow decay, and stabilization stages. Moreover, the strain decay increased with the initial strain and tensile frequency. The shorter the unstrained period was, the more similar the initial strain levels of the strain decay curves were to the stabilized strain levels of the first cyclic elongation. As the unstrained period increased, the initial strain levels of the strain decay curves approached those of the first cyclic elongation. The tested sensing cables differed in the amount and rate of strain decay. The wire rope-reinforced cable exhibited the smallest amount and rate of decay, whereas the GFRP-reinforced cable demonstrated the largest.

A correlation between the low-cycle fatigue life and the scuffing-failure life is demonstrated using the plastic strain in boundary lubricated sliding. Loadings proportional to hardness with three different lubricated conditions were used to evaluate the plastic strain. As the results of scuffing tests using vacuum pump oils in nitrogen gas, plastic strain shows 0.0062, and In the mineral oils and commercial engine oils in air, plastic strain show 0.0042 and 0.00092. Those are very useful to describe quantitatively the real lubricated sliding conditions, and are very effective to find the relation between the low-cycle fatigue life and the scuffing life.

저주기 피로에 있어서 초기단계의 응력진폭 거동에 미치는 평균변형의 영향을 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 평균변형이 압축상태인 경우는 반복수의 증가에 따라 반복변형지수 n'와 반복변형계수 C'는 감소하였으며 평균변형이 0%와 인장상태인 경우는 그 반대였다. 또한 동적인 항복강도 $\delta_(yc)$는 평균변형이나 반복변형에 관계없이 일정하였다.

Structures under high temperature may have creep behavior and fatigue behavior. Durability study of the structures need the damage analysis with the creep-fatigue effects. In this paper, the damage analysis is studied for a turbine blade in the turbopump for a liquid rocket engine which is operated under high temperature condition. First of all, the load cycle is required for defining the operational characteristics of turbopump. The thermal stress analysis is done for a turbine blade of the turbopump. The stress analysis results are used to judge damage due to the creep and the fatigue. The strain-life method with miner rule is used for fatigue damage analysis. The Larson-Miller parameter master curve and robinson rule are used for the creep damage analysis. The linear damage summation method is used to consider creep-fatigue effects of turbopump turbine. Finally, the analysis results for fatigue and the influence are compared to figure out the damage phenomenon of the turbopump turbine.
