Strength and Life Prediction of FRP Composite Bridge Deck

Majumdar, Prasun Kanti 30 April 2008 (has links)
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered very promising for infrastructure applications such as repair, rehabilitation and replacement of deteriorated bridge decks. However, there is lack of proper understanding of the structural behavior of FRP decks. For example, due to the localization of load under a truck tire, the conventionally used uniform patch loading is not suitable for performance evaluation of FRP composite deck systems with cellular geometry and relatively low modulus (compared to concrete decks). In this current study, a simulated tire patch loading profile has been proposed for testing and analysis of FRP deck. The tire patch produced significantly different failure mode (local transverse failure under the tire patch) compared to the punching-shear mode obtained using the conventional rectangular steel plate. The local response of a cellular FRP composite deck has been analyzed using finite element simulation and results are compared with full scale laboratory experiment of bridge deck and structure. Parametric studies show that design criteria based on global deck displacement is inadequate for cellular FRP deck and local deformation behavior must be considered. The adhesive bonding method is implemented for joining of bridge deck panels and response of structural joint analyzed experimentally. Strength, failure mode and fatigue life prediction methodologies for a cellular FRP bridge deck are presented in this dissertation. / Ph. D.

Werkstoff-, Geometrie- und Reihenfolgeeinflüsse auf die Lebensdauer unter Betriebslasten

Müller, Matthias 29 March 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Ausgangspunkt für die angestellten Untersuchungen bildet das Wissen um die unbefriedigende Treffsicherheit in der Lebensdauerabschätzung bei Belastungen mit ausgeprägten Mittelwertänderungen. Die Grundlage zur Weiterentwicklung theoretischer Lebensdauervorhersagemodelle auf Basis von Nenn- und örtlichen Beanspruchungen wurde mit experimentellen Untersuchungen an Werkstoff- und gekerbten Proben geschaffen, sowohl für einfache als auch gezielt abgeleitete, realitätsnahe komplexe Belastungs-Zeit-Abläufe. Es stehen zwei, ihrem zeitlich abhängigen Materialverhalten nach unterschiedliche Werkstoffe im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen. Ziel war es, die grundsätzliche zeitabhängige Reaktion der Werkstoffe auf die Belastung zu erkennen und diese Erkenntnisse mittels integra-len Parametern für die Verbesserung der Treffsicherheit der Lebensdauerabschätzung zu nutzen. Die Abschätzung der experimentell ermittelten Lebensdauern mit dem Nennspannungskonzept, die statistische Auswertung der Schädigungssummen und die Untersuchung der Korrelation von Schädigungssumme und zunächst frei wählbaren Parametern mittels multipler Regressionsanalyse führt zur Festlegung auf drei die Geometrie, den Werkstoff und die Belastung beschreibende Parameter. Bei beiden Werkstoffen wird durch Verwendung einer sogenannten korrigierten mit der Regressionsgleichung bestimmten Schädigungssumme eine Erhöhung der Treffsicherheit der Lebensdauervorhersage nachgewiesen. Den gesammelten Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen entsprechend werden Empfehlungen zur Anwendung der behandelten Lebensdauerabschätzungsverfahren auf der Grundlage örtlicher Beanspruchungen gegeben. Mit den Versuchen innerhalb der Arbeit wurde eine experimentelle Basis geschaffen, die eine Weiterentwicklung von Ansätzen zur Berücksichtigung des transienten Materialverhaltens in Konzepten auf der Basis örtlicher Beanspruchungen ermöglicht.

[en] FATIGUE-LIFE PREDICTION OF CRANKSHAFTS AND MECHANICAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS UNDER MULTIAXIAL FATIGUE LOADINGS / [pt] PREVISÃO DA VIDA EM FADIGA DE EIXOS VIRABREQUIM E COMPONENTES MECÂNICOS ESTRUTURAIS SOB CARREGAMENTO MULTIAXIAL

TIAGO LIMA D ALBUQUERQUE E CASTRO 07 August 2019 (has links)
[pt] Critérios de fadiga multiaxial para vida infinita tinham por objetivo apenas avaliar a ocorrência de fratura em um componente mecânico quando submetido a carregamentos multiaxiais totalmente reversíveis. Carpinteri e Spagnoli propuseram uma modificação em seu próprio modelo, substituindo por outros parâmetros os limites de resistência à fadiga em flexão f−1 e torção t−1 para ensaios totalmente reversíveis, introduzindo na equação uma variável nf que permitiu realizar uma previsão de vida em fadiga finita. O objetivo do presente estudo é verificar experimentalmente a consistência dessa modificação. A metodologia consistiu em obter experimentalmente curvas de Wohler para tração e torção referentes ao aço DIN 42CrMo4 a fim de obter os parâmetros m e m(asterisco), que são os coeficientes angulares das mesmas em escala log-log, produzindo meios para a aplicação do critério. Como o equacionamento do modelo não apresenta solução analítica, foi desenvolvido uma solução numérica para obter junto ao critério uma previsão teórica de vida em fadiga. Adicionalmente, o estudo busca discutir acerca de uma possível relação direta entre amplitude de tensão normal, amplitude de tensão cisalhante e número de ciclos para falha. O modelo em si apresentou consistência parcial com os experimentos, tendo sido assertivo nos ensaios de torção pura, mas discrepante em ensaios de tração pura. Para carregamentos combinados, houve razoável precisão em dois casos e grande dispersão em outra, mas a avaliação final depende de mais pontos experimentais. / [en] Infinite-life multiaxial fatigue criteria had only the ability to evaluate whether or not fatigue failure is to occur to a mechanical componente once subjected to multiaxial fatigue loadings. Carpinteri e Spagnoli proposed a modification to their own model, substituting both fully reversed bending and torsion fatigue endurance limits, f1 and t−1 respectively, introducing into the equation a new variable nf, allowing the model to predict the fatigue-life of the mechanical component. The main goal of the presente study is to assess the accuracy of the modified model via experiments. The research methodology consisted in determining m and m (asterisk), which are the slopes of the S-N curves for fully reversed bending and torsion experiments on regards to DIN 42CrMo4 steel when plotted into a log-log scale, providing means to apply the model. Since there is no analytic solution to the model, the criterion s equation has to be solved numerically. Furthermore, the present study discusses the possibility of a direct relation between amplitude of normal stress, amplitude of shear stress and number of cycles to failure. The modified Carpinteri & Spagnoli s criterion proved itself to be partially consistent, presenting both accurate predictions of torsional fatigue-life and discrepant results for axial loadings. For combined loadings, the model provided two consistent results while another experimental point was proved far off. The final assessment on regards to the model s accuracy depends on more experimental points.

Influência do processo de fabricação do disco na vida em fadiga de rodas para veículos comerciais fabricadas com o aço S355JR / The influence of the disc manufacturing process on the fatigue life of the commercial vehicle wheels manufactured using S355JR steel

A disputa por espaço no mercado automotivo tem sido intensificada a cada ano. A cobrança por componentes mais leves e de menor custo aliados à preocupação ambiental têm exigido a busca de novas alternativas de materiais e/ou processos produtivos mais eficientes. Uma das respostas a estas tendências é o aumento significativo no uso de aços de alta resistência baixa liga e dual phase nos últimos anos a fim de reduzir peso dos componentes. Entretanto, o custo destes aços no Brasil está entre 20 a 40% maior que os aços baixo carbono. Desta forma, para alguns segmentos está descartada esta hipótese, pois o mercado brasileiro exige redução de peso aliada à redução de custo. Sendo assim, a melhoria do processo produtivo ganha força nesta disputa. O processo de repuxamento (spinning) tem sido utilizado há anos para produção do componente disco de rodas para veículos comerciais e é um processo de trabalho à frio severo, o que pode resultar em aumento das propriedades mecânicas do material e redução do uso de matéria-prima em função da porcentagem da redução de espessura proposta. Sendo assim, neste trabalho foram analisadas 3 condições de repuxamento de disco, 41% de redução de espessura, 52% de redução de espessura e 64% de redução de espessura a fim de se obter o limite de redução de espessura do material S355JR por meio do processo de repuxamento do disco sem que haja perda das propriedades mecânicas do mesmo e, assim, gerar aumento da vida em fadiga do componente roda e redução de peso. Para isso, foram realizados os seguinte ensaios: análise de composição química, análise de microdureza, análise metalográfica, ensaios de tração e obtenção das curvas tensão x deformação, ensaios de fadiga por flexão alternada (R=-1,0) e obtenção das curvas S-N. A análise da composição química do aço S355JR verificou que o mesmo atende o especificado em norma DIN EN-10025-2. Por meio da análise metalográfica foi verificado que as fases presentes nos materiais analisados eram ferrita e perlita dispersa na matriz e nos contornos de grão. Através dos ensaios realizados foi observado que houve aumento das propriedades mecânicas do material para as amostras repuxadas e também aumento na vida em fadiga dos mesmos. Além disso, foi observado aumento das propriedades mecânicas e da vida em fadiga para a amostra com maior porcentagem de redução de espessura. / The battle for space in the automotive market is becoming fiercer. Calls for lighter and cheaper components, and also environmental concerns, have led to the search for alternative materials and more effective processes. One of the answers is the recent significant increase in sales of dual phase and high strength low alloy steel, which has reduced the weight of the products. However, in Brazil, the price of these steels is 20% to 40% higher than low carbon steel price and thus it is necessary to look for other options. On this way, for some segments this hypothesis is ruled out because the Brazilian market requires weight reduction combined to cost reduction. Thus, the improvement of the manufacturing process gains strength in this battle. The spinning process has long been used to make the disc of commercial vehicle wheels. It is a hard cold working process which could achieve an improvement of the material mechanical properties and a raw material reduction based on the thickness reduction during the process. Thus, three spun disc conditions were analyzed, corresponding to 41, 52% and 64% of thickness reduction, in order to find out a reasonable limit of thickness reduction with no loss of the material mechanical properties, purposing to increase the fatigue life of the wheel and reducing the wheel weight. The following tests were carried out: chemical composition analysis, metallographic analysis, tensile tests to obtain the stress v strain curves, and fatigue tests by alternated bending (R=-1.0) to obtain the S-N curves. The chemical composition analysis of the S355JR steel proved that it met the DIN EN10025-2 standard. Through metallographic analysis, it was confirmed that, for S355JR steels, whose microstructure is ferrite and perlite, the perlite was near the grain boundaries. Throughout the realized tests, it was observed that there was an increasing of the mechanical properties and the fatigue life of the spun samples. In addition, the mechanical properties and fatigue life of the sample with 64% of thickness reduction had increased more than the others spun samples had.

Verificação do projeto estrutural de uma máquina de ensaio de fadiga de cadeira de rodas. / Verification of the structural design of a wheelchairs fatigue testing machine.

Moraes Junior, Ronaldo de Souza 28 July 2008 (has links)
Para realizar ensaios de fadiga, é preciso que a máquina ou equipamento de testes tenha uma durabilidade muito maior que as estruturas ou componentes a serem ensaiados. O presente trabalho propõe-se a investigar a estrutura de uma máquina de ensaio de fadiga de cadeira de rodas, com o objetivo de determinar sua vida em fadiga. Para isto, uma análise da interação entre cadeira de rodas e máquina de ensaio é feita, do ponto de vista dinâmico, através de dados experimentais e modelagem em elementos finitos. A máquina de ensaio é constituída por uma estrutura com dois tambores rotativos, que possuem ressaltos, e suportam as rodas da cadeira de rodas. Estimada a força no tempo que a cadeira exerce sobre os tambores, calculam-se as tensões na estrutura, identificam-se as regiões de maiores tensões e estima-se a vida em fadiga da estrutura. / Fatigue analysis of full-scale structures and components is possible by using appropriated devices and machines which has to be much more durable than the structures or components being tested. The present work is proposed to investigate the structure of a wheelchair fatigue testing machine and predict its fatigue life. To reach this goal a dynamic analysis based on experimental data combined with the finite element method of the testing machine and wheelchair interaction is done. The machine is made of a structure and two turning drums that have slats and support the wheelchairs. With the timedependent force that wheelchair applies to the drums, the stresses are calculated to the whole structure, the sites with higher stresses are identified and the fatigue life of the structure is predicted.

Fatigue Analysis of 3D Printed 15-5 PH Stainless Steel - A Combined Numerical and Experimental Study

Anudeep Padmanabhan (7038047) 16 October 2019 (has links)
<div>Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has gained significant advancement in recent years. However the potential of 3D printed metals still has not been fully explored. A main reason is the lack of accurate knowledge of the load capacity of 3D printed metals, such as fatigue behavior under cyclic load conditions, which is still poorly understood as compared with the conventional wrought counterpart.</div><div><br></div><div>The goal of the thesis is to advance the knowledge of fatigue behavior of 15-5 PH stainless steel manufactured through laser powder bed fusion process. To achieve the goal, a combined numerical and experimental study is carried out. First, using a rotary fatigue testing experiment, the fatigue life of the 15-5 PH stainless steel is measured. The strain life curve shows that the numbers of the reversals to failure increase from 13,403 to 46,760 as the applied strain magnitudes decrease from 0.214\% from 0.132\%, respectively. The micro-structure analysis shows that predominantly brittle fracture is presented on the fractured surface. Second, a finite element model based on cyclic plasticity including the damage model is developed to predict the fatigue life. The model is calibrated with two cases: one is the fatigue life of 3D printed 17-4 stainless steel under constant amplitude strain load using the direct cyclic method, and the other one is the cyclic behavior of Alloy 617 under multi-amplitude strain loads using the static analysis method. Both validation models show a good correlation with the literature experimental data. Finally, after the validation, the finite element model is applied to the 15-5 PH stainless steel. Using the direct cyclic method, the model predicts the fatigue life of 15-5 PH stainless steel under constant amplitude strain. The extension of the prediction curve matches well with the previously measured experimental results, following the combined Coffin-Manson Basquin Law. Under multi-amplitude strain, the kinematic hardening evolution parameter is incorporated into the model. The model is capable to capture the stresses at varied strain amplitudes. Higher stresses are predicted when strain amplitudes are increased. The model presented in the work can be used to design reliable 3D printed metals under cyclic loading conditions.</div>
