Energy models for fatigue life estimation under uniaxial random loading. Part II: Verification of the model
2001
Abstract The paper concerns verification of the energy model for the fatigue life determination under the uniaxial random and variable-amplitude stress state. Application of the energy parameter for the fatigue life calculation using the algorithmic method under the random and variable-amplitude uniaxial tension–compression proves that most results of the fatigue life calculation are included in the scatter band with the coefficient determined during the uniaxial cyclic tests. The strain energy density parameter seems to be efficient for the fatigue life determination in the ranges of high and low numbers of cycles. The analysis was based on the author's tests and the data from literature. …
Comparison of the Rain Flow Algorithm and the Spectral Method for Fatigue Life Determination Under Uniaxial and Multiaxial Random Loading
2008
This paper presents the strain energy density parameter used for fatigue life calculation under random loading by two methods. The first method is based on schematization of energy parameter histories with the rain flow algorithm. The other one is based on moments of the power spectral density function of the energy parameter. The experimental data of fatigue tests of 10HNAP steel under constant amplitude and random uniaxial loading with non-gaussion probability distribution, zero mean value, and wide-band frequency spectrum used for comparison of the rain flow algorithm and the spectral method gave satisfactory results. Next, histories of the random stress tensor with normal probability di…
COMPARATIVE CONSIDERATIONS ON THE ENERGY CONTENT OF SEISMIC WAVES IN CENTRAL AND LINEAR PATTERN SHOOTING*
1960
In continuation of a publication by Pierau and Mueller (1960), theoretical and experimental comparisons are made about the energy content of seismic waves for central and linear shotpoint arrangements. The following results are obtained: Using shotpoint arrangements as chosen for the investigation, the energy content of deep reflections is greater in linear than in central pattern shooting, provided that the total quantity of charge is the same in both cases. Furthermore the seismograms obtained with linear shotpoint arrays are less disturbed by surface waves than those obtained in central pattern shooting. Both effects are superimposed and improve considerably the signal-to-noise ratio, th…
Small and hollow magnetic monopoles
2018
We deal with the presence of magnetic monopoles in a non Abelian model that generalizes the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov model in three spatial dimensions. We investigate the energy density of the static and spherically symmetric solutions to find first order differential equations that solve the equations of motion. The system is further studied and two distinct classes of solutions are obtained, one that can also be described by analytical solutions which is called small monopole, since it is significantly smaller than the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov monopole. The other type of structure is the hollow monopole, since the energy density is endowed with a hole at its core. The hollow monopole …
Finite-range separable pairing interaction within the new N3LO DFT approach
2011
For over four decades, the Skyrme functional within various parametrizations has been used to calculate nuclear properties. In the last few years there was a number of attempts to improve its performance and introduce generalized forms. In particular, the most general phenomenological quasi-local energy density functional, which contains all combinations of density, spin-density, and their derivatives up to the sixth order (N3LO), was proposed in [1]. Since in the phenomenological-functional approaches, the particle-particle (pp) channel is treated independently of the particle-hole (ph) channel, there remains a question of what pairing interaction is suitable to use within the N3LO energy …
The influence of the temperature of insulation oil on the results of measurements of the acoustic emission signals generated by partial discharges
2005
The subject matter of this paper refers to the improvement of the acoustic emission method (AE) used for evaluation of partial discharges (PDs) generated in paper-oil insulation systems of power appliances. The paper presents the measurement and analysis results of the AE signals generated by partial discharges of the surface type (SPDs). The AE signals were measured on the surface of a transformer tub using a broad-band contact transducer, and then they were subject to a time-frequency analysis. The measurements were taken while heating transformer oil in the range from 30 to 85°C with gradation of every 5°C. For time runs, amplitude and energy density spectra the descriptor values that ch…
Role of top and bottom interfaces of a Pt/Co/AlOx system in Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, interface perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and magne…
2017
We investigate the role of top and bottom interfaces in inversion symmetry-breaking Pt/Co/AlOx systems by inserting ultra-thin Cu layers. Wedge-type ultrathin Cu layers (0-0.5 nm) are introduced between Pt/Co or Co/AlOx interfaces. Interface sensitive physical quantities such as the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI) energy density, the interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (iPMA), and the magneto-optical Kerr effects (MOKE) are systematically measured as a function of Cu-insertion layer thickness. We find that the Cu-insertion layer in the bottom interface (Pt/Co) plays a more important role in iDMI, PMA, and MOKE. In contrast, the top interface (Co/AlOx) noticeab…
Infrared thermography-based evaluation of the elastic-plastic J-integral to correlate fatigue crack growth data of a stainless steel
2019
Abstract The elastic-plastic J-integral is adopted to correlate fatigue crack growth data of ductile metals. An analytical link is known to exist between the J-integral and the strain energy density averaged in a control volume embracing the crack tip. On the other hand, the strain energy fluctuation is the source of temperature variations close to a fatigue crack tip of a metal material; hence the possibility to measure the J-integral from infrared thermographic scanning at the crack tip is envisaged and it is the focus of this paper. It is proposed that the elastic component of the J-integral is derived from a thermoelastic stress analysis, while the plastic component of the J-integral is…
Energy criteria of multiaxial fatigue failure
1999
This paper contains a review of energy-based criteria of multiaxial fatigue. The criteria have been divided into three groups, depending on the kind of strain energy density per cycle which is assumed as a damage parameter. They are: (i) criteria based on elastic strain energy for high-cycle fatigue; (ii) criteria based on plastic strain energy for low-cycle fatigue; and (iii) criteria based on the sum of plastic and elastic strain energies for both low- and high-cycle fatigue. The criteria which take into account strain energy density in the critical plane seem to be the most promising. In the energy approach to multiaxial fatigue there is an important unsolved problem, i.e. the evaluation…
