Relations between cavitation erosion resistance of materials and their fatigue strength under random loading

Abstract The paper contains results of tests on fatigue strength under uniaxial random loading and cavitation erosion resistance for three steels: 10HNAP, 18G2A and 15G2ANb. The obtained fatigue and cavitation characteristics were used for determination of relations between these two phenomena. From the analysis it appears that there is correlation between fatigue strength of the material under random loading and its cavitation erosion resistance. It has been shown that fatigue tests under random loading and tests on cavitation erosion of 10HNAP, 18G2A and 15G2ANb steels may be described with a mathematical model of the same type. It has been also found that there is a linear relation, in t…

Reduction of parameters in failure criteria for multiaxial Random Fatigue

In the paper some equivalent methods of determining the expected fatigue fracture plane position have been presented. These methods make use of elements of a full linear rotation group. Replacing nine direction cosines, mutually related, by three Euler angles we obtain a reduced number of parameters used for the description of the excepted fatigue fracture plane position. New mathematical forms of the fatigue criteria with a reduced number of independent parameters have been presented well.

Covariance between components of biaxial stress state in fatigue life calculations

In this paper influence of correlalions between components of random stress tensor on the calculated fatigue life of the machine element has been analysed. Two groups of covariance matrices for components of biaxial stress state were considered. The first group was arbitrarily assumed and the second one was determined on the basis of the measured strains in the element of the vibrating screen for aggregate. Computer simulation was realized with four criteria of multiaxial random fatigue. Cycles were counted with the method of rain flow and damages were cumulated according to Palmgren-Miner hypothesis. It has been shown that covariances between components of stress state tensor strongly infl…
