Low cycle fatigue on Inconel 713L and Inconel 792-5A superalloys at 500 A 700 °C
Petrenec, Martin ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Polák, Jaroslav ; Hrbáček, K. ; Kruml, Tomáš
Cylindrical specimens of cast polycrystalline nickel base superalloys Inconel 713LC and 792-5A were cyclically strained under total strain control at500°C and at700°C.Structural characteristics and morphology of gama´ precipitates of both materials are documented. Dislocations structures were studied using transmission electron microscopy using technique of oriented foils in selected specimens cyclically strained up to failure. Cyclic hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curves, and fatigue life curves were obtained for both temperatures. Cyclic hardening/softening curves depend both on temperature and plastic strain amplitude. The cyclic stress-strain curves can be approximated by power law. Experimental points of fatigue life curves satisfy the Manson-Coffin and Basquin law. Stress-strain response and fatigue life characteristics are compared at both temperatures and discussed in relative to structural parameters and to dislocation structures of superalloys studied.

Prediction of Fracture Toughness Temperature Diagram from Tensile Test Parmaeters
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Šmida, T. ; Babjak, J.
Reference temperature of fracture toughness temperature diagram has been predicted based on tensile test data. Neuron analysis was applied to solve these properties correlation. For fracture toughness determination three-point bend specimens have been applied, the reference temperature being calculated applying multi-temperature method. Different strength and deformation properties have been evaluated from standard tensile specimens focusing on data from localised deformation during specimen necking. Totally 29 data sets from low alloy steels have been generated for the analysis. Good correlation of predicted and experimentally determined values has been found. Further analysis with higher number of data sets is needed to increase the accuracy of predicted values and decrease the number of input data.

Computational modelling of fatigue crack propagation path in gears
Ševčík, Martin ; Vrbka, M. ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš
The paper deals with estimation of fatigue crack behavior for crack propagation from the tooth root. The conditions of linear elastic fracture mechanics are considered. The extension of LEFM – two-parameter LEFM is used for crack path estimation. The effect of the rim thickness on the path of fatigue crack was studied and procedure for more accurate description of the fatigue crack propagation at the gear rim is proposed in the work. Modified maximal tangential stress (MTS) criterion was used for an estimation of the fatigue crack path in the gear rim. Good agreement with experimental results was obtained. More accurate two-parameter description of the stress field around the crack tip can explain the discrepancies between experimental results and previous numerical calculations based on classical one parameter LEFM.

Utilization of two-parameter fracture mechanics in gears with thin rim
The aim of this work was to use FEM to estimate trajectory of the fatigue crack in gears with thin rim. The principles of the classical linear-elastic fracture mechanics and the two-parameter fracture mechanics were used to describe the process of gear failure. The minimum thickness of the gear rim (in which the failure mechanism is a fracture below the gear tooth) was numerically calculated. Numerical results were validated by comparison with experimental results obtained from available literature. It was found that involving of constraint give precise calculation of the consequent direction of the fracture angle and in some cases the constraint can cause significant change in prediction of fracture trajectory find out by classical linear-elastic fracture mechanics characterization.

Výpočtová analýza růstu únavové trhliny v kole testovaném podle normy EN 13262
Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Knésl, Zdeněk ; Kunz, Ludvík ; Matušek, P.
In this paper, the experimental set up corresponding to the test unit used for the full-scale fatigue test has been modeled and the numerical method for reliable estimation of residual fatigue lifetime of wheel web tested according to EN 13 262 Standard has been developed. Numerical calculations are based on finite element method utilizing the system ANSYS. The experimentally observed cracks in the wheel web have been taken as the initial crack configuration. Numerical calculations simulating the initial crack growth in the wheel web loaded by experimental set up have been performed. Under assumptions of linear elastic fracture mechanics the residual fatigue life of the cracked wheel has been predicted. The material properties necessary for numerical modeling were determined from the fatigue tests performed on small specimens taken from real wheel webs. The results obtained can be used for more reliable design of railway wheels.

Fatigue behaviour of nickel base superalloy Inconel 738LC at room temperature
Juliš, M. ; Obrtlík, Karel ; Petrenec, Martin ; Podrábský, T.
Total strain controlled tests have been performed on cylindrical specimens of Inconel 738LC polycrystals at room temperature (23 °C). Cyclic hardening, cyclic stress-strain and fatigue life curves were obtained. Fracture surface was studied using scanning electron microscopy. High amplitude cycling results in early pronounced hardening followed by secondary hardening. Low amplitude cycling is characterized by the stable stress response. Manson-Coffin and Basquin laws can reasonably approximate the fatigue life data. Fatigue crack initiation close to the surface from casting defects is documented.
