The Cyclic Plastic Strain and Cumulative Fatigue Damage

Cumulative Fatigue Damage Under stepwise Tension-Compression Loading

Rock structures are subjected to cyclic tension-compression loading due to a blasting, earthquake, traffic and injection-production in underground storage case. Therefore study the fatigue behavior of rock samples under this type of loading is required. In this study, the accumulated fatigue damage for a Green Onyx rock sample which consisted of only one mineral composition with two-step high-l...

Effects of plastic constraint on the cyclic and static fatigue behavior of metal/ceramic layered structures

The role of metal layer thickness and resultant plastic constraint in the metal layer during the failure of metal/ceramic layered structures is examined under cyclic and static loading conditions. Crack-growth experiments were conducted on sandwich specimens consisting of 99.999% pure aluminum layers bonded between 99.5% pure polycrystalline alumina with the metal layer thickness varying from 5...

Global Cyclic Cumulative Constraint

This paper proposes a global cumulative constraint for cyclic scheduling problems. In cyclic scheduling a project graph is periodically re-executed on a set of limited capacity resources. The objective is to find an assignment of start times to activities such that the feasible repetition period λ is minimized. Cyclic scheduling is an effective method to maximally exploit available resources by...

Model of fatigue damage in strain-rate-sensitive composite materials

Cumulative Damage in Fatigue with Particular Reference to the Effects of Residual Stresses by

In this Report factors affecting the accuracy of Miner's Rule are dls-cussed. An nvestlgation 1s also described of the cumulative damage behaviour of DID 5014 alumlnlun alloy lug specuwns using random loading. It 1s concluded that the devlatlons from Miner's Rule observed in the uxestlgation can be ascribed manly to the actlon of residual stresses associated with yielding at tllf point of fatzg...
