An Alternative Method to Evaluate Endurance Limit in Plain Steel Specimens (JIS, S15C, S45C and A286)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Crack size measurement is necessary in order to calculate stress intensity factor (SIF), K. Definition of the initial crack size in plain specimens is more complex than notched specimens because artificial defects are not introduced. In this study, the effect of difference between initial crack size calculated with both average grain size and maximum shear mode crack size on K, and fatigue limit value, σw were examined. A new alternative method to predict endurance limit of plain specimen, σw with a combination of threshold stress in shear mode and in Mode I was proposed.
