1、tOZb-l_ but the exact reason for variationin life with block size cannot be explained at this time. Possible linesof investigation which might explain this variation are systematic studyof (1) fatigue crack propagation in multilevel tests, and (2) the rela-tive effect of single or multiple cycles at
2、 the high-load level.Effect of Truncating the Load ScheduleThe lowest stress level in load schedule 1 was well below thefatigue limitand theoretically contributed no damage (n/N = O, sinceN _ _) although this stress level contributes approximately one-thirdof the total cycles. A comparison of result
3、s for tests with and with-which wasout this load level (fig. 5) shows a slight increase in Nnnot found to be significant (table VI). The small increase in llfe mightbe explained by the actual damage contributed by the lowest load levelafter the fatigue crack had begun to propagate; thus 3 the effect
4、ivefatigue limit is lowered. Another possible explanation is that thisomitted load level probably contributes to the decay of the residual com-pressive stresses caused by higher loads.Omitting the highest load level in load schedule 1 gave a statisti-(table VI) when compared with testscally signific
5、ant decrease innwith the highest load level included (table III and fig. 5). Thisdecrease is probably due to the decrease in magnitude of the residualstresses; thus, the crack initiation and propagation phases of the testare shortened. Although the critical crack length for residual staticstrength a
6、t the highest load was increased, the increase in the crackinitiation and propagation rates overshadows this effect.L1462Effect of Reducing the Number of Load StepsIn the series of tests for which the number of load steps wasreduced from 8 to 4 (table III) the reduction in the geometric mean ofProvi
7、ded by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-13L1462n was significant (table VI and fig. 5). This reduction is probablydue to (1) a decreased magnitude of beneficial residual stresses becausethe highest load had been reduced, (2) a possible accumulatio
8、n of actualdamage from the lowest load level after the crack had been initiated,since the lowest load is now closer to the fatigue limit Se, and (5) anincrease in actual damage at the highest load because of the increasednumber of applications.In reference i there was not a significant difference fo
9、und between8 and 18 stress levels for gust-load histories. In the light of thepresent results it might be surmised that there is a minimum number ofstress levels above which the number of stress levels used would haveno effect.Effect of Adding Load Levels Above Design Limit LoadFo_ tests in which tw
10、o load levels above design limit load were_ nadded (load schedule 2), _ decreased slightly but not significantlywhen compared with results of tests without these load levels (table VI).The predominant effect of the higher loads appears to have been to causestatic failure when a shorter crack was pre
11、sent. Since the criticalcrack length was shorter for residual static strength considerations,but the difference in life was small, it would seem that the higher loadsdid increase the residual stress effect.Effect of Including Negative Load FactorsTwo methods of including the negative load factors we
12、re used, inone method the negative loads were applied in groups (load schedule 5).The other method combined the negative and positive cycles such thateach negative cycle followed a positive cycle (load schedule 4).For the tests in which negative load steps were applied in groups,(table VI) was prese
13、ntna statistically significant reduction inwhen compared with similar tests without negative loads (table V andZfig. 5). This reduction in _ is thought to be caused by the reduc-tion of beneficial residual stresses when compression loads were applied,thus crack initiation and propagation rates are i
14、ncreased.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-14The amount the residual stresses are lowered appears to be dependenton the magnitude of the compressive load. The relative location of thehighest load and the negative loads within the random
15、ized blocks is alsoimportant because (i) damage from those loads applied between the highestload and the negative load will be reduced by the residual compressivestress, and (2) damage from those loads following the negative loads maybe greater than that computed because the residual stresses may be
16、tensile.Z nThe values of _ for tests with combined cycles were found tobe significantly lower than those for tests without negative loads butnot significantly different (table VI) from tests with loads applied in2groups. The reduction in _- is thought to be caused by a reductionin or elimination of
17、the beneficial residual stresses when compressiveloads are applied. This load schedule had a positive high load followedby a negative load and formed one load cycle. In this case the compres-sire one-half cycle decreased the effect of the residual stresses dueto the tensile one-half cycle. The exact
18、 value of the residual stressis not known and it is possible that a tensile residual stress existedin the specimen following the full cycle. This action was deleteriousto the fatigue llfe until a load was applied which was sufficient inmagnitude to reverse the nature of the residual stress. The cycl
19、e whichproduced the maximum compressive residual stress was lower than the max-imum load and therefore the increase in llfe was less than that assumedfrom similar tests without negative loads. A second reason for thedecrease in _ for tests with combined cycles is the reduced cracklength for which th
20、e specimen residual static strength becomes critical.Another factor which may have had a small effect on the value ofis the reliability of the assumed N values in _ for thecombined load steps. As has been stated earlier, these values wereinterpolated and some error is probable.Li462Other Observation
