The effects of carburization on the fatigue strength and cracks were studied. The fatigue phenomena of the carburized specimens were compared with noncarburized specimens those were either heat-treated or un-treated. The fatigue strength of these specimens were measured by rotating bending fatigue machine. The obtained results indicated that the fatigue strength of carburized specimens were increased ranging from 24-59 % than those of un-treated, and 22-38% than those of heat-treated. The Vickers hardness of carburized were also increased as much as 138-195% than those of un-treated, and 42-125% than those of heat-treated. The microscopic observation of the carburized specimens mostly composed of minute pearlitic structure at hard case exhibited to have more localized slip than those of non-carburized specimens.

Quantitative analysis have been carried out on the micro-cracks on the surface and into the depth of unnotched smooth mild steel specimen under cyclic stains by rotating bending fatigue tests. Some of the results are; (1) Cracks initiate at the early stage of fatigue life N$_{I}$/ N$_{f}$=10 to 20%, and propagate during the rest of fatigue life. (2) Coalescence of highly crowded small fatigue cracks of random distribution seems to induce the final fracture at higher stress level. (3) The curves of crack initiation and the equal crack length on the graph of stress versus number of cycles are parallel to the S-N curve. (3) The curves of crack initiation and the equal crack length on the graph of stress versus number of cycles are parallel to the S-N curve. (4) The distributions of micro-surface crack length and depth show the composite Weibull distributions which are approximated to two straight lines separated by the value of transient region between stage I and stage II crack.k.k.

This paper was studied on the behavior, crack formation and propagation of slip bands on low carbon steel which was heat-treated in three conditions in order to change metallic structure. The specimens were tested by rotating bending fatigue testing machine and also observed the variations of grains by microscope. From the test results it was clear that fatigue endurance limit and life of low carbon steel were more increased in contrast with the case that the grain size of specimen was more decreased. Slip bands developed at oil-quenched specimen and furnace-cooled specimen. Formed cracks in the first one or two grains below the surface were approximately "planar" type, there after they followed "wavy" type. It was also found that cracks at 30% higher stress than fatigue limit were usually developed inter-granular, and cracks at 12% higher stress than fatigue limit were propagated meandering path, partly trans- and partly inter-grandular.

Due to their high strength and good wear resistance, nitro-carburizing materials have been used for many machine components. However, the nitro-carburizing materials are found to have one disadvantage ; that is, their strength and fatigue life show larger scatter than those of non-heated metals. In this paper, therfore, the statistical chracteristics of non-heated and nitro-carburized specimens for SCM415 are investi- gated under two different of stress levels 1.15 .sigma. /sub .omega. / .leq. / .sigma. / sub .alpha. / .leq. / 1.25 .sigma. /sub .omega. /. Seven specimens at each stress level are tested by using rotating bending fatigue tester. The relation between a crack length and fatigue cycles can be arranged for Weibull distribution, and S-N curve using 95% reliability function is obtalined for nitro-carburized specimen.

Fatigue life of a notched shaft was evaluated in order to estimate the durability and integrity of the notched shaft in design stage. Cumulative fatigue dama- ge analysis was performed using local strain approach based on the assumption that the fatigue life of a notched component is approximately same as that of a smooth specimen is subjected to the same strain at the notched component. In this paper, shafts with different notch root radius of 1, 2㎜ resulting in different values of stress concentration factors were tested under||rotating bending fatigue loading condition. Theoretical stress concentration factor for each notch type was calculated using finite element method. Fatigue life prediction program, FALIPS, written in C language was developed using the strain-life curve, and the local strain approach integrating Neuber's rule, cyclic stress-strain, and hysteresis loop equations. The fatigue life evaluated using the fatigue notch factor obtained from the experimentally determined fatigue strength showed very large scattering with nonconservatism, but the fatigue notch factors derived from the stress concentration factors and Peterson's equation reduced the considerablely accurate fatigue life evaluation within a factor of three.

The rotating bending fatigue tests were performed using the specimens taken from Cr-Mo-V steel, widely sued in thermal power plant turbines, at various temperatures such as room temperature, 300 .deg. C, 425 .deg. C and 550 .deg. C. The characteristics of fatigue crack propagation were examined and analyzed by using fracture mechanics parameter. The plastic replica method was also applied in order to measure the crack length on the basis of serial observation of fatigue crack propagation behavior on the defected specimen surface. The fatigue crack propagation behavior of Cr-Mo-V steel was investigated within the frame work of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The propagation law of fatigue crack is obtained uniquely by using the term .sigma. $^{n}$ sub a/where .sigma. $_{a}$ is the service stress, a is the crack length and n is a constant. The values of constant n are nearly equal to 2.48, 2.60 and 8.61 at room temperature, 300 .deg. C and 425 .deg. C.

Moving parts of the rotating and reciprocating mechanism are the most important components of the diesel engines and require very high reliability in their design. Especially the crankshaft, the key component of running gear (powertrain), is subject to complicated loadings such as bending, shear and torsion coming from firing pressure, inertia forces and torsional vibration of crankshaft system. Intrinsically they show different cyclic patterns of loading in both direction and magnitude, and thus ordinary approach of proportional loading is less valid to analyze the dynamic structural behavior of crankshaft. In this paper, new fatigue analysis method is introduced to analyze and design the crankshaft of a medium-speed diesel engine in order to consider the non-proportional multi-axial loads realistically as well as to present the general fatigue analysis approach for an engine crankshaft.

The shaft with the circular cross section has symmetric structural combination parts to keep the rotating balance. Hence the crack usually initiates from symmetric combination parts due to the stress concentration of these parts. In this study to estimate the fatigue behavior of symmetric cracks, the fatigue test was performed by using a rotary bending tester and the specimen with symmetric defects in circular cross section. The characteristics of crack initiation and propagation on the symmetric surface cracks in circular cross section were examined. We also observed the internal crack using the oxidation coloring method and investigated the fatigue behavior using the relationship between the surface crack and the internal crack. As a result, the fatigue life of symmetric cracks was reduced by 35% compared to that of a single crack. We examined the characteristics of fatigue behavior of elements with symmetric cracks using internal crack propagation rate and maximum stress intensity factor range that were obtained from an approximation method.

In this paper, the fatigue characteristics of shot peened A7075-T651 alloy were compared with those of the specimens without the shot peening. The multi-spindle and single-spindle rotating bending fatigue testing machines were employed for the evaluation. Shot peening (SP) with various pressure (5 psi, 10 psi, 15 psi, 25 psi and 35 psi) were used in this test. In order to investigate the effect of the applied pressure during the SP, we carried out the surface roughness test, compressive residual stress test, hardness test, tensile test, VHCF (Very high cycle fatigue) test and SEM observation. SP induced the formation of remarkable compressive residual stress from the surface to certain depth of sample by means of the plastic deformation. The surface hardness and the fatigue characteristics of the specimens were also modified by the SP. According to the S-N curves, fatigue lives of shot peended sample with 25 psi measures 50 times higher than that of the untreated sample. The fatigue lives of shot peened sample with 15 psi and 35 psi measure approximately 10 times higher than that of the untreated ones.

The shaft with the circular cross section have symmetric structural combination parts to keep the rotating balance. Hence the crack usually emanate from symmetric combination parts due to the stress concentration of these parts. In this study to estimate the fatigue behavior of symmetric cracks, the fatigue test was performed by using rotary bending tester and the specimen with symmetric defects in circular cross section. From the facts the characteristics of crack initiation and propagation on the symmetric surface cracks in circular cross section was examined. Also we observed the internal crack using oxidation coloring and investigated the fatigue behavior using the relationship between surface crack and internal crack. As a result of fatigue lift of symmetric cracks was reduced to 35% compared to single crack’s. We examined the characteristics of fatigue behavior in element with symmetric cracks using internal crack propagation rate and maximum stress intensity factor range obtained from approximation method.
