Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collate original research articles and reviews on the field of fatigue and fracture of metallic materials. Fatigue and fracture are important forms of failure in structural materials. Research into them plays an important role in evaluating the integrity and safety of engineering structures.

This Special Issue mainly focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas: the fatigue mechanism of metal materials, fatigue behavior in specific environments, ultra-high-cycle fatigue, multi-axis fatigue, fatigue crack propagation, fatigue statistical methods, fracture and crack arrest behavior of materials, microscopic mechanisms of fracture, etc. The fatigue and fracture of advanced metallic materials will receive special attention. Advanced materials mainly include additive manufacturing alloys, high-entropy alloys, coated metals, high-performance steel and environmentally friendly alloys, etc.

Since a multiaxial loading environment may lead to the fatigue failure of structures, establishing a reliable fatigue model to predict the multiaxial fatigue lives of structures has always been a concern of engineers. This study proposes a new multiaxial fatigue theoretical model (WYT model) based on the critical plane theory, which takes the plane of the maximum shear strain amplitude as the critical plane and considers the effects of shear stress and normal stress on fatigue damage. Moreover, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model for multiaxial fatigue life prediction with the shear strain amplitude, normal strain amplitude, mean shear stress, and mean normal stress on the same critical plane as input parameters and fatigue life as the output variable is established. Finally, the WYT model and the BPNN model are compared with two existing multiaxial fatigue models to evaluate the life prediction effects of different models for S45C and 7075-T651 under constant-amplitude and variable-amplitude multiaxial loadings. The calculation results show that the WYT model is feasible, and the BPNN model is more accurate in predicting the fatigue lives of specimens than other multiaxial fatigue theoretical models.

Small-hole structures, such as the millions of fastener holes found on aircraft, are typical stress-concentration structures prone to fatigue failure. To further improve the strengthening process of this small-hole structure, we make up for the limitations of laser shock processing (LSP) of small holes by combining it with the ultrasonic extrusion strengthening (UES) process to form a new strengthening method—laser shock and ultrasonic extrusion strengthening (LUE). The influence of the LUE process sequence and process parameters on residual stress distribution was studied through FEM, and the gain of fatigue life of specimens after LUE strengthening was also explored through tests. The results show that when using LUE technology, the friction force decreases with the increase in amplitude and decreases by 3.2% when the amplitude is maximum. The LUE process eliminates the thickness effect generated by LSP, which can achieve good stress distribution of small-hole components under smaller laser shock peak pressure, and reduces equipment power. LUE can significantly improve the fatigue life of small-hole components, and the maximum fatigue life gain can be up to 310.66%. Full article
