A CUMULATIVE FATIGUE DAMAGE RULE UNDER THE ALTERNATIVE OF CORROSION OR CYCLIC LOADING

Fatigue damage increases with the applied loading cycles in a cumulative manner and the material deteriorates with the corrosion time. A cumulative fatigue damage rule under the alternative of corrosion or cyclic loading was proposed. The specimens of aluminum alloy LY12-CZ soaked in corrosive liquid for different times were tested under the constant amplitude cyclic loading to obtain S-N curves. The test was carried out to verify the proposed cumulative fatigue damage rule under the different combinations among corrosion time, loading level, and the cycle numbers. It was shown that the predicted residual fatigue lives showed a good agreement with the experimental results and the proposed rule was simple and can be easily adopted.

Fatigue behavior and cumulative damage rule of concrete under cycli ccompression with constant confined stress

The effects of different lateral confinement stress on the fatigue behavior and cumulative damage of plain concrete were investigated experimentally. Eighty 100mm×100mm×100mm specimens of ordinary strength concrete were tested with constant-or variable-amplitude cyclic compression and lateral confinement pressure in two orthogonal directions. A fatigue equation was gained by modifying the classical Aas-Jakobsen S-N equation and used for taking into account the effect of the confined stress on fatigue strength of plain concrete. The present study indicates that the fatigue failure is greatly influenced by the sequence of applied variable-amplitude fatigue loading, and Miner’s rule is inapplicable to predict the residual fatigue life, especially in the sequence of low to high. The present research also shows that the exponent d of the Corten-Dolan’s damage formula is a constant depending on the materials and the levels of load spectrum, and d can be determined through the two-stage fatigue tests. The residual fatigue lives predicted by Corten-Dolan’s damage formula are found to be in good agreement with the results of the experiments.

Fatigue Behavior of Plain Concrete Under Biaxial Compression: Experiments and Theoretical Model

The effects of different lateral confinement stress on the fatigue behavior of and cumulative damage to plain concrete are investigated experimentally. Eighty 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm specimens of ordinary strength concrete are tested under constant- or variable-amplitude fatigue loading and lateral confinement pressure in two orthogonal directions. A fatigue equation is developed by modifying the classical Aas-Jakobsen S-N equation for taking into account the effect of the confined stress on fatigue strength of plain concrete. The results of variable-amplitude fatigue tests indicate that the linear damage theory proposed by Palmgren and Miner is unreasonable in the biaxial stress state. A nonlinear cumulative damage model that could model the effects of the magnitude and sequence of variable-amplitude fatigue loading and lateral confinement pressure is proposed on the basis of the evolution laws of the residual strains in the longitudinal direction during fatigue tests. The residual fatigue. life predicted by this model is found to be in good agreement with the results of the experimental research.

多跨预应力混凝土简支T梁桥在重载铁路线路中应用广泛,随着线路年运量的增长及大轴重长编组货物列车的运行,车桥动力响应加剧,桥梁发生疲劳破坏风险增大。为了解决这些问题,本文建立重载列车-钢轨-预应力混凝土简支T梁桥精细化分析模型,精确求解重载列车过桥时的车桥动力响应;采用雨流计数法统计分析桥梁普通受拉钢筋应力时程,获得疲劳应力谱;基于Miner准则和Corten-Dolan准则,计算典型疲劳列车单次过桥时的桥梁疲劳损伤;利用灰色GM(1,1)模型来预测线路未来年运量,并对预应力混凝土T梁疲劳损伤进行分析,对剩余寿命进行评估。研究结果表明:随着货车编组数量增加,列车过桥引起的桥梁动力响应峰值趋于稳定,仅应力时程中间周期性波动部分相应延长;由于考虑了结构非线性累积损伤的影响,在相同疲劳列车作用时,按照Corten-Dolan准则计算的桥梁疲劳损伤比按Miner准则计算的桥梁疲劳损伤大7.2%左右;4种典型疲劳列车(C_(64)-N-66、C_(70)-1-116、C_(80)-1-108、C_(80)-2-216)独立运送相同运量货物时引起的桥梁损伤之比为1?0.768?0.543?0.457;在线路容许条件下,宜优先开行大轴重且更长联编组的货物列车,在运量相同时可有效降低对桥梁的疲劳损伤;基于车-轨-桥精细化模型和Corten-Dolan准则,采用等效列车历史运营谱和未来运营谱来考虑年运量和疲劳列车大轴重长编组的发展趋势,可更精确评估重载铁路预应力混凝土简支T梁桥的剩余疲劳寿命。
