Residual stresses can be present due to processing and manufacturing of materials and structures, so it is imperative to understand how and why they can influence the test data that we used in structural design methodologies. Residual stresses may also be intentionally engineered into structures in attempts to improve fatigue life, and it is equally important that designers understand how to account for these potential effects on fatigue life."--Publisher's website.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service. Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on the signi?cance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects are presented in the following main parts: • Basic chapters on fatigue properties and predictions (Chapters 2–8) • Load spectra and fatigue under variable-amplitude loading (Chapters 9–11) • Fatigue tests and scatter (Chapters 12 and 13) • Special fatigue conditions (Chapters 14–17) • Fatigue of joints and structures (Chapters 18–20) • Fiber-metal laminates (Chapter 21) Each chapter presents a discussion of a speci?c subject.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center in coop eration with the Materials Science Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of Syracuse University has been conducting the Annual Sagamore Army Materials Research Conference since 1954. The specific purpose of these conferences has been to bring together scientists and engineers from academic institutions, industry and government who are uniquely qualified to explore in depth a subject of importance to the Department of Defense, the Army and the scientific community. These proceedings, entitled RESIDUAL STRESS AND STRESS RELAXATION, address the nature of residual stresses and their measurements, the sources of residual stress, stress relaxation, sub-critical crack growth in the presence of residual stress, residual stresses and properties, and research in progress. We wish to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Dan McNaught of the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center and Mr. Robert J. Sell and Helen Brown DeMascio of Syracuse University throughout the stages of the conference planning and finally the publication of the book. The continued active interest and support of these conferences by Dr. E. Wright, Director of the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, is appreciated.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Residual stresses are known to have a significant effect on fatigue crack propagation and thus fatigue life. These effects have generally been quantified through an empirical approach, lending little help in the quantitative prediction of such effects. The weight function method has been used as a quantitative predictor, but its use neglects residual stress redistribution, treating the residual stress as a constant during crack growth. At least three different behaviors contribute to the redistribution of residual stress. First, the residual stress behind the crack tip is reduced to a negligible level as soon as the crack tip passes. Second, the residual stress tends to redistribute away from the crack tip with crack growth, and third, crack growth results in an overall relaxation of residual stress. An alternative method for predicting the effect of a residual stress distribution on fatigue crack growth is herein developed. The stress intensity factor due to residual stress, K[subscript res], is characterized as the change in crack driving force due to the presence of the residual stress. This crack driving force, being the derivative of a potential, is found through superposition of an applied stress and a residual stress, and subsequent manipulation of finite element strain energy and nodal displacement results. Finite element modeling is carried out using a spatial distribution of non-uniform thermal expansion coefficients and a unit temperature load to simulate the desired residual stress. Crack growth is then achieved through use of a node release algorithm which sequentially removes nodal displacement constraint. The complete stress distribution, nodal displacements and internal strain energy are captured for each increment of crack growth, and from this information, knowledge of the stress intensity factor as a function of crack length is derived. Results of the K[subscript res] calculations are used in a fatigue crack growth model to predict fatigue lives. The fatigue life model involves step by step analysis of crack growth increment based on knowledge of stress intensity factors resulting from applied and residual stress. The qualitative effects of residual stress predicted by this model agree with documented empirical results which show that compressive residual stress increases fatigue life, while tensile residual stress decreases fatigue life. Two solutions for K[subscript res] are possible, depending on the choice of load-control or displacement-control modeling. Use of displacement-control, or fixed displacement loading, minimizes redistribution of residual stress and, under net tensile loading, tends to lead to more conservative fatigue life predictions. Load-control modeling, not having the same displacement constraint, allows more relaxation of the residual stress and tends to provide the more non-conservative life estimates. Three residual stress patterns, two due to welding and one to shot peening, are also investigated. K[subscript res] solutions for each residual stress are developed, and fatigue life predictions made.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Almost all welding technology depends upon the use of concentrated energy sources to fuse or soften the material locally at the joint, before such energy can be diffused or dispersed elsewhere. Although comprehensive treatments of transient heat flow as a controlling influence have been developed progressively and published over the past forty years, the task of uniting the results compactly within a textbook has become increasingly formidable. With the comparative scarcity of such works, welding engineers have been denied the full use of powerful design analysis tools. During the past decade Dr Radaj has prepared to fulfil this need, working from a rich experience as pioneer researcher and teacher, co-operator with Professor Argyris at Stuttgart University in developing the finite element method for stress analysis of aircraft and power plant structures, and more recently as expert consultant on these and automotive structures at Daimler Benz. His book appeared in 1988 in the German language, and this updated English language edition will significantly increase the availability of the work.
