This volume contains a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Temperature-Fatigue Interaction, held in Paris, May 29-31, 2001, organised by the Fatigue Committee of the Societé Française de Métallurgie et de Matériaux (SF2M), under the auspices of the European Structural Integrity Society. The conference disseminated recent research results and promoting the interaction and collaboration amongst materials scientists, mechanical engineers and design engineers. Many engineering components and structures used in the automotive, aerospace, power generation and many other industries experience cyclic mechanical loads at high temperature or temperature transients causing thermally induced stresses. The increase of operating temperature and thermal mechanical loading trigger the interaction with time-dependent phenomena such as creep and environmental effects (oxidation, corrosion). A large number of metallic materials were investigated including aluminium alloys for the automotive industry, steels and cast iron for the automotive industry and materials forming, stainless steels for power plants, titanium, composites, intermetallic alloys and nickel base superalloys for aircraft industry, polymers. Important progress was observed in testing practice for high temperature behaviour, including environment and thermo-mechanical loading as well as in observation techniques. A large problem which was emphasized is to know precisely service loading cycles under non-isothermal conditions. This was considered critical for numerous thermal fatigue problems discussed in this conference.
The global energy consumption is increasing and together with global warming from greenhouse gas emission, create the need for more environmental friendly energy production processes. Higher efficiency of biomass power plants can be achieved by increasing temperature and pressure in the boiler section and this would increase the generation of electricity along with the reduction in emission of greenhouse gases e.g. CO2. The power generation must also be flexible to be able to follow the demands of the energy market, this results in a need for cyclic operating conditions with alternating output and multiple start-ups and shut-downs. Because of the demands of flexibility, higher temperature and higher pressure in the boiler section of future biomass power plants, the demands on improved mechanical properties of the materials of these components are also increased. Properties like creep strength, thermomechanical fatigue resistance and high temperature corrosion resistance are critical for materials used in the next generation biomass power plants. Austenitic stainless steels are known to possess such good high temperature properties and are relatively cheap compared to the nickel-base alloys, which are already operating at high temperature cyclic conditions in other applications. The behaviour of austenitic stainless steels during these widened operating conditions are not yet fully understood. The aim of this licentiate thesis is to increase the knowledge of the mechanical behaviour at high temperature cyclic conditions for austenitic stainless steels. This is done by the use of thermomechanical fatigue- and creepfatigue testing at elevated temperatures. For safety reasons, the effect of prolonged service degradation is investigated by pre-ageing before mechanical testing. Microscopy is used to investigate the microstructural development and resulting damage behaviour of the austenitic stainless steels after testing. The results show that creep-fatigue interaction damage, creep damage and oxidation assisted cracking are present at high temperature cyclic conditions. In addition, simulated service degradation resulted in a detrimental embrittling effect due to the deterioration by the microstructural evolution.
A compendium of European and worldwide research investigating creep, fatigue and failure behaviors in metals under high-temperature and other service stresses. It helps set the standards for coordinating creep data and for maintaining defect-free quality in high-temperature metals and metal-based weldments.
From concept to application, this book describes the method of strain-range partitioning for analyzing time-dependent fatigue. Creep (time-dependent) deformation is first introduced for monotonic and cyclic loading. Multiple chapters then discuss strain-range partitioning in details for multi-axial loading conditions and how different loading permutations can lead to different micro-mechanistic effects. Notably, the total-strain method of strain-range partitioning (SRP) is described, which is a methodology that sees use in several industries. Examples from aerospace illustrate applications, and methods for predicting time-dependent metal fatigue are critiqued.
Provides information from around the world on creep in multiple high-temperature metals, alloys, and advanced materials.
There has been special interest recently in developing new, reliable analytical design methods for components under higher temperature conditions. However, at present, the use of material properties is still limited to arrays of single characteristics which do not interact with each other. In this work, several creep fatigue experiments on smooth specimens of IN 800 H have been carried out at 830°C. In some tests, these have also been combined with inside hysteresis loops to investigate the different effects on deformation and damage behavior which originate in a creep and fatigue environment. As a result of these tests, it has been found that the material behavior under creep-fatigue conditions can be significantly changed compared to the material behavior under simple load conditions. Therefore there is a need for life analysis methods to be expanded to include possible variations in properties; for greater accuracy, the material properties must be treated as a complex interacting system of parameters. The examination has been extended to a typical component used under high-temperature conditions. The results of the numerical analysis show that the stress-strain history in the critical area of that component is not simply strain controlled, as it is in the typical laboratory creep-fatigue interaction life test containing a tensile or compressive dwell at constant peak strain level. At high temperatures, the conditions in the component are more severe, causing the life to be reduced compared with the typical laboratory test. In this paper, these conditions are successfully simulated with the help of a generalized Neuber law: ? . ?p = constant. Based on this ratio, the engineering method for evaluating component geometry and loading conditions and their effects on material behavior can be established.
Thermoplastic composites are suitable alternatives to metals in some load-bearing applications such as in the automotive industry due to a large number of advantages they present. These include light weight, ease of processing for complex geometries at high production rate, outstanding cost to performance ratio, ability to reprocess, and corrosion resistance. Addition of fillers such as talc or reinforcements such as short glass fibers can improve the mechanical performance of unreinforced thermoplastics to a high degree. Components made of thermoplastic composites are typically subjected to complex loadings in applications including static, cyclic, thermal, and their combinations. These applications may also involve environmental conditions such as elevated temperature and moisture which can dramatically affect their mechanical properties. This study investigated tensile, creep, fatigue, creep-fatigue interaction, and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) behaviors of five thermoplastic composites including short glass fiber reinforced and talc-filled polypropylene, short glass fiber reinforced polyamide-6.6, and short glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene ether and polystyrene under a variety of conditions. The main objectives were to evaluate aforementioned mechanical behaviors of these materials at elevated temperatures and to develop predictive models to reduce their development cost and time. Tensile behavior was investigated including effects of temperature, moisture, and hygrothermal aging. Kinetics of water absorption and desorption were investigated for polyamide-6.6 composite and Fickian behavior was observed. The reductions in tensile strength and elastic modulus due to water absorption were represented by mathematical relations as a function of moisture content. In addition to moisture content, aging time was also found to influence the tensile behavior. A parameter was introduced for correlations of normalized stiffness and strength with different aging times and temperatures. Higher strength and stiffness were obtained for re-dried specimens after aging which was explained by an increase in crystallinity. Mechanisms of failure were identified based on fracture surface microscopic analysis for different conditions. Creep behavior was investigated and modeled at room and elevated temperatures. Creep strength decreased and both creep strain and creep rate increased with increasing temperature. The Larson-Miller parameter was able to correlate the creep rupture data of all materials. The Monkman-Grant relation and its modification were successfully used to correlate minimum creep rate, time to rupture, and strain at rupture data. The Findley power law and time-stress superposition principle (TSS) were used to represent non-linear viscoelastic creep curves. Long-term creep behavior was also satisfactory predicted based on short-term test data using the TSS principle. Effect of cycling frequency on fatigue behavior was investigated by conducting load-controlled fatigue tests at several stress ratios and at several temperatures. A beneficial or strengthening effect of increasing frequency was observed for some of the studied materials, before self-heating became dominant at higher frequencies. A reduction in loss tangent (viscoelastic damping factor), width of hysteresis loop, and displacement amplitude, measured in load-controlled fatigue tests, was observed by increasing frequency for frequency sensitive materials. Reduction in loss tangent was also observed for frequency sensitive materials in dynamic mechanical analysis tests. It was concluded that the fatigue behavior is also time-dependent for frequency sensitive materials. A Larson-Miller type parameter was used to correlate experimental fatigue data and relate stress amplitude, frequency, cycles to failure, and temperature together. Effects of temperature and mean stress on fatigue behavior were also investigated by conducting load-controlled fatigue tests under positive stress ratios and at room and elevated temperatures. Larson-Miller parameter was used and a shift factor of Arrhenius type was developed to correlate fatigue data at various temperatures. Effect of mean stress on fatigue life was significant for some of the studied materials, however, for the polyphenylene ether and polystyrene blend no effect of mean stress was observed. Modified Goodman and Walker mean stress equations were evaluated for their ability to correlate mean stress data. A general fatigue life prediction model was also used to account for the effects of mean stress, temperature, anisotropy, and frequency. Creep-fatigue tests were conducted using trapezoidal load signal with hold-time periods. Effects of temperature, frequency, load level, mean stress, and hold-stress position on creep-fatigue interaction behavior were studied. In-phase TMF tests were conducted on polyamide-based composite for the temperature variation between 85 to 120 °C. Significant non-linearity was observed for the interaction of creep and fatigue damage. The applicability of Chaboche non-linear creep-fatigue interaction model to predict creep-fatigue and TMF lives for thermoplastic composites was investigated. A frequency term was added to the model to consider the beneficial effect of increased frequency observed for some the studied materials. The Chaboche model constants were obtained by using pure fatigue, pure creep, and one creep-fatigue interaction experimental data. More than 90% of life predictions by the Chaboche model were within a factor of 2 of the experimental life for both creep-fatigue and TMF test conditions.
