BSI 2006 1BS 7270:20061 ScopeThis British Standard describes a method of cyclically loading a metallic specimen under strain control between set strain limits to determine its fatigue resistance. The fatigue resistance is measured in terms of cycles
14、to failure as a function of the applied strain range and the associated variations in stress range, mean stress and plastic strain range. The method is restricted to uniaxially loaded parallel section specimens tested in air at ambient temperature and to metals where time-dependent deformation can b
15、e ignored. The method is applicable to both high- and low-cycle fatigue tests.NOTE 1 Advice on the generation of data sets from individual specimen results determined using this method is given in Annex A.NOTE 2 Users should assure themselves that the test conditions used and the specimen orientatio
16、n are relevant to their application.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

28、to a specimen. The specimen has a gauge length of constant cross-section on which an axial extensometer is mounted and the strain is controlled between set limits according to a cycle of chosen waveform. The test is continued until failure occurs. The maxima and minima of strain and stress are monit
29、ored throughout the test. The number of cycles to failure is recorded and additionally the stressstrain hysteresis loops are recorded at intervals during the test. From these loops the stress range, mean stress, total strain range and plastic strain range are determined at half-life.Figure 2 Stresss

31、adequately stiff machine (including frame and loading train) might cause specimen buckling during the compressive phase of a test cycle.The test machine shall permit strain-controlled cycling to be carried out between predetermined limits. Its force measurement system shall have a digital output dis
32、play and shall be verified in accordance with BS EN ISO 7500-1:2004, Class 1.0. The verified force measurement system shall also be able to display cyclic force maxima and minima at any time to three significant figures.The test machine control system shall permit transfer from one mode of control t
33、o another without overshoots. In partially or completely reversed loading tests there shall be no backlash in the loading train. The specimen grips shall transmit axial forces to the specimen to accurately and reproducibly locate the specimen. NOTE 1 This to minimize bending.NOTE 2 In the design of
34、the test fixture, attention should be paid to maintaining axial alignment of the specimen in order to comply with Clause 8. Guidance notes on the design of fixtures are given in Annex B.6.2 Extensometry The extensometry system shall incorporate a digital output display able to show cyclic extension
35、maxima and minima at any time to, at least, three significant figures. An axial extensometer shall be used to measure and control the extension of the specimen gauge length. For gauge lengths below 20 mm, the extensometer shall have a certificate of compliance with BS EN ISO 9513:2002, Class 0.5, is
36、sued within the previous 12 months. For gauge lengths equal to or greater than 20 mm, the extensometer shall have a certificate of compliance with BS EN ISO 9513:2002, Class 1, as a minimum, issued within the previous 12 months. If the extensometer is to be used for measuring both positive and negat
37、ive displacements, the grade of the extensometer shall be assessed using the same calibration factor for both positive and negative displacements. In addition, the procedure given in Annex C shall be followed to verify that the characteristics of the extensometer and its associated signal conditioni
38、ng and recording equipment (see 6.4) are acceptable.Extensometry shall not be used above the frequency at which conformity with Annex C has been demonstrated.Cognizance shall be taken of the manufacturers recommended operating limits and procedures in both selecting and using the extensometer (see 9
39、.2).6.3 Cycle countingThe number of cycles shall be recorded such that for tests lasting less than 10 000 cycles, individual cycles can be resolved. For longer tests the resolution shall be better than 0.1% of the indicated life.BS 7270:20066 BSI 20066.4 Recording of hysteresis loopsStressstrain hys
40、teresis loops shall be recorded at intervals without changing the test frequency.Where discrete pairs of values of force and extension (or stress and strain) are recorded, the sampling frequency shall be sufficient to ensure correct definition of the hysteresis loops especially in the regions of str
41、ain reversal.NOTE Different data collection strategies give different numbers of data points per loop. Typically, 200 points per loop are required.6.5 Test environmentA recording or maximum-minimum thermometer shall be used for recording ambient temperature and throughout the test. If required, a hy
42、grometer shall be used for recording the relative humidity during the test. Tests shall be performed within the ambient temperature range 10 C to 35 C in a non-condensing atmosphere. In the case of a dispute the test shall be performed at an ambient temperature of 23 C 5 C.NOTE In the case of a disp
43、ute it is advisable to monitor the specimen temperature throughout the test. 7 Specimen geometry7.1 Unless otherwise specified in the product standard, the specimen shall be in accordance with Figure 3, Figure 4 or Figure 5 and Table 1, Table 2 or Table 3. The design shall ensure that:a) buckling do
44、es not occur at the highest compressive forces in the test programme; andb) premature failure (cracking) does not occur at the transition with the parallel length or within the transition radii.NOTE 1 The use of specimens in accordance with Figure 3 is recommended.NOTE 2 In selecting a specimen geom
45、etry, the test material microstructure should be taken into account.Specimens shall only be machined in accordance with Figure 4 and Table 2 if the original stock is less than 8 mm thick or if it is necessary to retain the original plate surface.NOTE 3 Fatigue test results determined on plate specim
46、ens are not always comparable to those determined on cylindrical specimens because of the difficulty in obtaining an adequate surface finish on plate specimens and because fatigue cracks initiate preferentially at specimen corners.The parallel length, l, of all specimens shall be greater than the ga
47、uge length of the extensometer (=e). NOTE 4 It is recommended that 0.7= k= ek0.9= BSI 2006 7BS 7270:20067.2 Unless otherwise specified in the product standard, the parallel length and the transition radii of the specimen shall be machined and finished in accordance with Annex D. Specimens that can c
48、orrode under ambient conditions shall be protected until they are tested.NOTE Take care not to damage the surface of the specimen when checking its dimensions.Figure 3 Test section profile for cylindrical specimensNOTE See Table 1.d 0.01Dimensions in millimetresFigure 4 Alternative test section prof
