Nominal Stress Approach

Presently in rules for fatigue assessment of structures subjected to intensive alternating service loading the Stress-Life (S-N) criteria are recommended in versions of the Nominal stress approach, Hot-spot stress and Notch-stress approach based on using the stress range a representative of the current damage. The criteria and approaches provide assessment of fatigue properties of structures accompanied with a series of approximations and uncertainties. A physically and mechanically more correct procedures might be provided by the Strain-life and Inelastic strain energy criteria for fatigue failure and approaches, although specific with intrinsic sources of approximations. The nature of approximations in the approaches is briefly commented and feasible means of improvement the fatigue assessment procedures and applications are presented.

Cohesive Zone Models

Cohesive Zone Models (CZMs) are being increasingly used to simulate fracture and fragmentation processes in metallic, polymeric, and ceramic materials and their composites. Instead of an infinitely sharp crack envisaged in fracture mechanics, CZM presupposes the presence of a fracture process zone where the energy is transferred from external work both in the forward and the wake regions of the propagating crack. In this paper, we examine how the external work flows as recoverable elastic strain energy, inelastic strain energy, and cohesive energy, the latter encompassing the work of fracture and other energy consuming mechanisms within the fracture process zone. It is clearly shown that the plastic energy in the material surrounding the crack is not accounted in the cohesive energy. Thus cohesive zone energy encompasses all the inelastic energy e.g., energy required for grainbridging, cavitation, internal sliding, surface energy but excludes any form of inelastic strain energy in the bounding material.

Stress Criterion

SummaryNishihara’s combined bending and torsion out-of-phase fatigue limit data are analysed. The Tresca shear stress failure criterion predicts strengths up to 30 per cent higher than observed. It thus appears that renewed attention should be given to the basic problem of developing reliable combined stress failure criteria. It is suggested that new test methods will be required for this purpose.
