  2. FATIGUE- an introduction Background Engineeringimportance Examples

  3. Different FAILURE types Plastic flow Large deformation Creep Staticfracture Fracture Fatiguefracture Instability

  4. Or, shown in anotherway: Large deformation Fracture (static or fatigue) Prof. Jan Hult: ’Mr. Skoglund has problems reading his morning paper’ Instability

  5. History of a FATIGUE failure • - Initiation of a small crack • - Growth of the crack • - Final fracture sa t Note: -sa

  6. Examples of designs in which fatigueanalysis is essential

  7. Example of fatiguefailure

  8. History of a dramaticfatiguefailure: Aloha Airlines’ flight No. 243, 28th April , 1988 X X X 13:48 13:55 13:47 13:25

  9. Result: a Boeing 737 convertible!

  10. Strategies in designing againstfatiguefailure I. FAIL-SAFE DESIGN: Design so that no fatigue initiation occurs x II: DAMAGE TOLERANT DESIGN: Allow initiation but design so that the crack(s) cannotgrowintocatastrophicfailure x

  11. I. FAIL-SAFE DESIGN Consumerproducts or otherproducts in which the designer has no directcontrol over the actualuse of the product. must be designedinto the product by choosingconservative data (i.e., overestimation of loads and/or underestimation of material properties). Safety

  12. II: DAMAGE TOLERANT DESIGN (Allow initiation but design so that the crack(s) cannotgrowintocatastrophicfailure) Used for products that are continuouslymonitoredand have a programme of regularinspections at fixed intervals. I.e., products - in which it is necessary to use the materials neartheir limits and - whichcanalsobear a high costfor the monitoring and closeinspections.

  13. Damage-tolerant design, continued The inspectionequipment’s performance must be wellknown (i.e., oneknows that the equipment is safe in detecting all cracks longerthan, say, 0.5 mm, and that at the end of the inspectiontherefore no cracks largerthan, for instance 0.5 mm exist). The designer assumes that (in this case) a 0.5 mm crack exists in the leastfavourableorientation and position and must show by computationof the crack growththat this worst crack does not grow to criticalsizebeforenextinspection. comesinto the method (a) statisticallysince it is veryunlikely that this worstpossible crack actuallyexists, and (b) by choosinginspection intervals shorterthanwhatcouldhavebeenaccepted from the computation. Safety

  14. CONTENTS OF THE COURSE Initiation analysis(i.e., fail-safe design). Wewillnot deal with crack growth HCF (high-cyclefatigue): Fatigue under not so high loads⇒ manycycles to failure (≥106 cycles) Relationsa⇄ Nf sa Influence of loadcycle: sm and sa sm t Loadsequences that are non-monotonos (includinghow to defineloadcycles in cases of veryirregularloads

  15. LCF (low-cyclefatigue): Fatigue under high loads (with local plastic deformation) ⇒ fewcycles to failure(≤100·103 cycles) Example: Gas turbine start/stop cycle (extremes: a fewtimes per month or a fewtimes per day) . The gas turbine in the picture (Siemens SGT-700, manufactured in Finspång, Sweden) is a 32 MW unit, typicallyused on oilrigs, and is designed for ≈ 3000 cyclesbetween major inspections.
