Fracture prediction for square hollow section braces under extremely low cycle fatigue
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the extremely low cycle fatigue (ELCF) fracture of concentrically loaded square hollow section (SHS) braces subjected to cyclic loading. Numerical analyses are presented for both individual bracing members and integrated into braced frames (CBFs). The behaviour was predicted using solid finite element (FE) simulations that employed a ductile model nonlinear damage evolution rule. FE model, which validated data from experiments, could adequately predict hysteretic response ELCF cracking process. coupled effects instabilities (i.e. local global buckling) on performance were assessed, rotation capacity prior quantified. quantified then incorporated fibre-based models CBFs as member-level criterion. structure-level able accurately capture complex interactions between frame components, i.e. columns, beams, brace–gusset–plate? connections beam-to-column connections, hence replicate overall CBFs, specifically, two-storey chevron frames. influence cross-section member slenderness evaluated importance considering in development limits highlighted. combined member- simulation approach is proposed an accurate efficient means assessing seismic CBFs.

Linkage between Ductile Fracture and Extremely Low Cycle Fatigue of Inconel 718 under Multiaxial Loading Conditions
Ductile fracture and extremely low cycle fatigue (ELCF) [1] are two common failure modes in aircraft engines and turbomachinery designs [2]; however, the linkage between these two failure modes under multi-axial loading conditions has never been systematically studied. Inconel 718 (IN718) is one type of high temperature alloys widely used in turbomachines. Specially designed specimens and tests...
متن کاملUltra-Low Cycle Fatigue Fracture Life of a Type of Buckling Restrained Brace
Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) for seismic load resistance have been widely used in recent years. One of the key requirements for a buckling restrained brace is to sustain large plastic deformations under severe ground motions. The core of a buckling restrained brace is prone to fatigue fracture under cyclic loading. The earthquake induced fracture type of the core plate in a bucklin...

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 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of quenching process on low cycle fatigue life for cylinder head
Due to the complex geometry and thermos-mechanical loading, cylinder heads are the most challenging parts among all parts engines. They must endure cyclic thermal and mechanical loading throughout their lifetime. Cast aluminum alloys are normally quenched after solution treatment process to improve aging responses. Rapid quenching can lead to high residual stress. Residual stress is one of the ...
