A Method for the Prediction of Fatigue Life of Notched Metallic Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

The traditional methods for the prediction of fatigue life of metallic material consider only the two processes of fatigue initiation and fatigue cracking, while the process from fatigue cracking to breaking has been neglected. This paper provides one new method of estimating the fatigue life of under-constant-amplitude loading spectrum---non-local gradient damage enhancement model method. Based on the finite element procedure and the partial damage model, this method inserts the non-local strain's definition formula into the loading function and damage rate increment formula. From this method, the non-partial gradient enhancement damage model is obtained. In this model, the material’s microscopic criterion factor and the material’s damage criterion have been considered, the process of endurance failure is also considered. Thus, the insufficiency of traditional research techniques is effectively avoided, the actual effect analysis of metallic material is more reasonable, and the actual operating mode is been conformed to.
