Effect of the Ratio between Tension and Bending Vibration Loads on the Fatigue Behavior and Failure Mode of Titanium Alloy TA11

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studied the effect of the ratio between the axial tensile force and the transversal vibration loads on the fatigue behavior and failure mode of the near alpha titanium alloy TA11, to simulate the service stress state applied on the engine blades, where a large centrifugal force is superimposed with bending vibration loads. The plate-like specimens were used in the fatigue tests by a special testing device which was designed and fabricated in the present research,where the vibration loads were applied by the electro-magnetic exciters. By experiments under various multi-axial fatigue loading cases with different ratios between the axial tensile force and the transversal vibration loads, the fatigue behavior and failure modes were observed and compared. Then, the energy based fatigue criteria were applied for correlation of the test results. The fatigue properties of titanium alloy TA11 under the specialized loading conditions are characterized and discussed. In addition, the experimental observations on the vibration behavior superimposed with different magnitude of axial tensile force are also helpful for understanding the real working conditions of the engine blades.
