Fatigue crack propagation in carbon steel using RVE based model

Fatigue crack propagation in microcapsule - toughened epoxy

The addition of liquid-filled urea-formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules to an epoxy matrix leads to significant reduction in fatigue crack growth rate and corresponding increase in fatigue life. Mode-I fatigue crack propagation is measured using a tapered doublecantilever beam (TDCB) specimen for a range of microcapsule concentrations and sizes: 0, 5, 10, and 20% by weight and 50, 180, and 460 lm di...

Influence of Residual Stress Field on the Fatigue Crack Propagation in Prestressing Steel Wires

This paper deals with the effect of several residual stress profiles on the fatigue crack propagation in prestressing steel wires subjected to tension loading or bending moment. To this end, a computer program was developed to evaluate the crack front evolution on the basis of the Walker law. Results demonstrate that the absence of residual stresses makes the crack propagate towards a preferent...

Data-driven Fatigue Crack Evaluation based on Wave Propagation Data

8 This project presents a machine learning based fatigue crack sensor 9 evaluation scheme without using a physical model. A supervised binary 10 classification problem is defined to distinguish damaged steel specimens 11 from intact specimens. Sets of time-series wave propagation data collected 12 by the fatigue crack sensor are utilized for the proposed scheme. In order to 13 apply supervised ...

Stochastic modeling of fatigue crack propagation

This paper presents a stochastic model of fatigue-induced crack propagation in metallic materials. The crack growth rate predicted by the model is guaranteed to be non-negative. The model structure is built upon the underlying principle of Karhunen±Lo eve expansion and does not require solutions of stochastic di€erential equations in either Wiener integral or Itô integral setting. As such this ...
