Fatigue Failure Prediction of U-Notched ZK60 Magnesium Samples Using the Strain Energy Density Approach

A new low cycle fatigue lifetime prediction model for magnesium alloy based on modified plastic strain energy approach

Nowadays, the technology intends to use materials such as magnesium alloys due to their high strength to weight ratio in engine components. As usual, engine cylinder heads and blocks has made of various types of cast irons and aluminum alloys. However, magnesium alloys has physical and mechanical properties near to aluminum alloys and reduce the weight up to 40 percents. In this article, a new ...

Prediction of Fatigue Life in Notched Specimens Using Multiaxial Fatigue Criteria

In this research, the effects of notch shape on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy notched specimens have been studied using experimental and multiaxial fatigue analysis. For this purpose, four set of specimens with different notch shape were prepared and then fatigue tests were carried out at various cyclic longitudinal load levels. Load controlled fatigue tests of mentioned specim...

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Thermomechanical Fatigue Life Prediction of Notched

Strain energy density prediction of fatigue crack growth from hole of aging aircraft structures

Fatigue crack growth rate depends not only on the load amplitude, but also on the morphology of crack path. The strain energy density theory has the ability to analyze crack growth rate. A strain energy density crack growth model is proposed. It can predict the lifetime of fatigue crack growth for mixed mode cracks while an equation for mode I crack is also obtained. The validity of the model i...
