Abstract: A series of fatigue tests has been conducted to estimate the fracture behavior depending
on stacking sequences in quasi-isotropic CFRP laminates. Strips of laminate with four different
directions were cut out from the same CFRP plate to prepare the specimens with the four kinds of
stacking sequences. Prior to fatigue test, the specimens were impacted with lateral load in order to
simulate the damage induced by the fallen tools. During the fatigue tests, the damage developed in
the specimen was detected by non-destructive techniques using a scanning acoustic microscope
(SAM) and a replicating method.
Stacking sequences exerted an influence on fracture behavior of laminate specimens, i.e. the
stacking position of the zero degree layers, in which fiber direction was parallel to the loading axis,
played an important role in the fracture process. When the zero degree layers are located at the
specimen surface, no remarkable damage propagation was observed from the surface. On the other
hand, when the zero degree layers are located in the middle of laminates, the damage in the surface
layer was found in the fatigue process. Not only the degradation of the equivalent elastic modulus
was seen in all specimens, but also the degradation curve varied with the stacking sequences.

Abstract: In this paper, Experimental results on the measurement of mechanical properties of fine
patterns in the MEMS structure are described. The mechanical properties of embossing patterns on
metallic thin foil is measured using the nano indentation system, that is developed by Korea Institute
of Industrial Technology(KITECH). These micro embossing patterns are fabricated using CIP(Cold
Isostatic Press) process on micro metallic thin foils(Al-1100) that are made by rolling process. These
embossing patterned metallic thin foils(Al-1100) are used in the reflecting plate of BLU(Back Light
Unit) and electrical/mechanical MEMS components. If these mechanical properties of fine patterns
are utilized in a design procedure, the optimal design can be achieved in aspects of reliability as well
as economy.

Abstract: The cyclic behavior of type DIN 1.4460 duplex stainless steels in as-received and aged
conditions was investigated at room temperature and at 500°C. At room temperature, the aged
samples showed embrittlement effects such as loss of toughness and reduction of fatigue life. At
500°C, beneficial effects of the synergy between temperature and strain cycling were observed. It is
proposed that at high temperature in the ferrite the strain cycling can decompose the chemical
composition fluctuations, promoting a demodulation of the spinodal decomposition formed by
aging.

Abstract: In this work, the formation of fatigue cracks is considered as a nucleation process due
to the development of a characteristic microstructure formed just beneath the specimen surface.
Strain controlled cyclic tests were carried out at room temperature at total strain ranges εt = 0.8
and 1.2% in flat specimens of SAF 2507 Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS). The results show that for
this DSS, at εt = 0.8%, the correlation between phases (Kurdjumov-Sacks crystallographic
relation) plays an important role in the formation of microcracks. On the other hand, at εt = 1.2%,
microcracks initiate in the ferritic phase and the K-S relation does not seem to affect the formation
of the cracks.

Abstract: The thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) behaviour of the Nimonic 90 Nickel base
superalloy has been investigated within two laboratories. In-phase-tests (IP) where the maximum
mechanical strain occurs at the maximum temperature (850°C), and 180°-out-of-phase-tests (180°
OP) where the maximum mechanical strain coincides with the minimum temperature (400°C) have
been applied. All tests were carried out at varying mechanical strain ranges with a constant strain
ratio of Rε = - 1. A temperature rate of 5 K/s was used throughout the whole cycle without any
additional cooling system during decreasing temperature. The fatigue life of 180° OP tests is longer
compared to identical IP tests. The stress / mechanical strain hysteresis loops are completely
different and some characteristic values are compared to each other. The fracture surfaces observed
show that fatigue crack (or cracks) starts on the external surface and propagates inwards. The
fractures of 180° OP tests are transgranular showing the presence of fatigue striations, while the
fractures of IP tests are mixed transgranular and intergranular with no fatigue striations.

Abstract: In this present study, the fatigue behavior of titanium single crystals containing cracks
growing in different crystallographic orientations has been investigated. To investigate fatigue
fracture behavior of small single crystals, plain bending fatigue test method for thin sheet specimen
was developed. One end of the sheet specimen is fixed at a voice coil of the loudspeaker and the
other end is set free. A bending mode resonance occurs in the specimen due to forced vibration at
the fixed end.
In A-specimen, the notch plane and the direction are (11-20) and [1-100], respectively, the crack
propagated parallel to {1-100} plane and striation-like markings were observed on the fatigue
surfaces. In B-specimen with a notch of (1-100) and [11-20], the crack also propagated parallel to
{1-100} plane as similar to A-specimen. These cracks are deduced to extend by alternating shear on
two intersecting prismatic slip systems at the crack tip. In F-specimen with a notch of (0001) and
[11-20], the crack propagated parallel to (0001) and twins were observed near the crack. As a result,
S-N curves of each specimen showed strong orientation dependence and the fatigue strength of
F-specimen was the highest in these specimens.

Abstract: In recent years, the replacement repair welding, which repairs damaged steel girder bridges
by replacement of the damaged sections with new steel plates through cutting and welding under
in-service conditions, is spotlighted for its brilliant features, i.e. it can be achieved without incurring
traffic dislocation. However, the mechanical behavior of the welded joints under cyclic loads due to
the traffic which passes along the girder bridges is not clarified. In this paper, the fatigue strength of
the replacement repair welded joints was investigated in order to improve reliability in the repair
welded joints. Steel plate was extracted from the old steel girder bridge; then was welded with new
steel plate to construct specimen with the replacement repair welded joints. Flux Cored Arc Welding
(FCAW) process was used to fabricate the double "V" butt joints. Fatigue tests were conducted using
a servo hydraulic controlled 50tonf capacity UTM with a frequency of 5Hz under constant amplitude
loading. The fatigue strength of the replacement repair welded joints was analyzed in detail.

Abstract: In order to establish a reasonable and integrated fatigue design criterion for the long life
design of the gas welded body structure, stress distribution around the gas welded joints subjected
to tensile load was numerically analyzed. And also, the P-Nf curves were obtained by fatigue tests.
By using these results, P-Nf curves were rearranged in the σ-Nf relation with the hot spot stress at
the welded joint. And a guideline for fatigue design of gas welded joints was proposed.

Abstract: Under fatigue loading, the number of cycles to failure and its associated scatter increase
when the loading level decreases. The High-Cycle Fatigue (HCF) regime is thus characterized by a
large scatter in the number of cycles to failure [1]. Cracks initiation represents an important part of
the lifetime of the structures. A stochastic method is used to study the fatigue crack initiation
prediction in the 316L austenitic stainless steel. The present work proposes to show that this scatter
can be attributed to the random orientation of individual grains, which influences the crack
initiation localization. The stresses in grains are determined by finite element computations (FEM
[2]), using a configuration representative of a polycrystalline aggregate. This approach takes into
account the crystallographic orientations of the grains in the aggregate as well as the deformation
incompatibilities between neighbouring grains due to crystalline anisotropic elasticity and elasticplasticity
[3]. Then, the scatter of the number of cycles to crack initiation is derived from the FEM
stress fields using two fatigue crack initiation criteria: an usual one, Mura’s criterion [4] and a more
recent one [5], based on Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) simulations and taking into account
plastic slips, cross slip and stress tensor components.
