Papers by Keyword: Notched Part

Abstract: Nearly 90% of failures of machines and mechanical parts are caused at the area of stress concentrated in the structural components. Hence, it is important to investigate the method of improving fatigue strength for notched parts. In this paper, the fatigue tests have been performed to investigate the effect of the plastic-working on fatigue strength of specimens with notch. The main results obtained in this study are as follows: (1) The fatigue limit of notched specimen chamfered by the plastic-working increases by 45% than that of specimen without chamfer. (2) The reason of enhancing the fatigue strength may be to attributed to the work-hardening and compressive residual stress which suppress the fatigue crack initiation and propagation in early stage.

Abstract: Nearly 90% of failures of machines and mechanical parts are caused at the area of stress concentrated in the structural components [1]. Hence, it is important to investigate the method of improving fatigue strength for notched parts, and method of evaluation the fatigue strength of notched parts for mechanical engineering. In this paper, the tests were carried out for improving the fatigue strength of specimens, with the hole notches that have been chamfered by die-pressing. The fatigue strength of notched part is enhanced to around 100% by die-pressing, comparing with notched specimen without die-pressing. Based on the above results, the new method for evaluation the fatigue strength with both the effects of work hardening and residual stress caused by the cold working. The estimated results by the method revealed good agreement with the tested results.
