E. Shigley, Mechanical Engineering Design, McGraw-Hill, 1977, pp

5 Complex Behavior: Notch effect JIS Steel Data S-N curve for notched specimen (Kt = 3) plotted with local notch root stress Fatigue notch factors (Neuber and Glinka) are available but they require experimentally determine notch sensitive factors. Nishijima et al. 5

6 Size Effect IN100 laboratory test data Smooth round bars cut from the same block with the same microstructure Standard Normal X bar 1X bar 1/2Xbar Cycles to failure 6

7 Fatigue Analysis Why are there so many modifying factors? Fatigue response is much more complex than A lot is going on from the first cycle to the last N = f σ Fatigue is a process, not an event 7

8 Random field of intense slip bands of plastic deformation Prof. Christ and co-workers, 13th International Conference on Fracture, 2013, Beijing, China 8

9 Random field of micro-cracks Fatigue is dominated by the growth and coalesce of very small cracks. Fatigue is always governed by very localized damage DARPA SIPS program 9

10 Random field of crack growth 10

11 Computational Material Model Model the material at a fundamental level Explicitly model the materials damage tolerance Must account for random nature or the important size scale Loading and environment become extrinsic factors to the material model This allows simple test coupon data to be used directly in fatigue analysis of complex components 11

12 Traditional Damage Tolerance Computationally fracture mechanics modeled fatigue crack growth rate by calculating the stress intensity factor (SIF) and knowing empirically-derived material parameters SIF similitude is achieved for Different loads Different crack sizes Complex spatial stress gradient Varying residual stress gradients The downside are the simplifying assumptions Damage is a single, well-defined crack of relatively-large size Common initial crack size in linear elastic fracture mechanics is 1/32 inch (0.03 ). No credit given to cycles to initiation In high strength materials, initiation can be more than 90% of Total Life 12

13 Damage Tolerance for Total Life Fatigue damage growth analysis using 3-D random field of microstructural material properties Dislocation Theory Crystal Plasticity Crack Nucleation + Small Flaw Fracture Mechanics (SFFM) = Small Crack Growth Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) Long Crack Growth 13
