Damage tolerance of railway axles

Submitted by S. Beretta on Sat, 04/16/2011 - 09:07

Failure of railway axles has been the problem which gave origin to the studies about 'fatigue'. The modern approach to the structural integrity of these safety components is to complement the traditional designwith a 'damage toleranc' analysis.

how is the stress-strain field near the crack tip under cyclic loading?

hi!

i am interested in the fatigue crack growth of a cracked body.Recently,i am stucked by a problem of how is the stree-strain relationship near the crack tip under cyclic loading.As we know,the HRR field near a crack tip under monotanic loading is well solved.So,i doublt that if the type of the HRR formulation can still be used under cyclic loading.If not,why?And how to solve this problem?if there is any suggestions or references ,i would be appreciated!

thermodynamics

For the third time I am teaching the graduate course on soft active materials. This course is called Advanced Elasticity in the Catalog of Courses. In the last several years, I have dropped several traditional topics, and focused on thermodynamics and finite deformation. I have added several topics where both thermodynamics and finite deformation play significant roles, such as elastomeric gels and dielectric elastomers.

Cyclical Nanoindentation Stress-Strain Measurement

nanoindentation

The Stress-Strain curve obtained by Nanoindentation reveals the correlation of "Stress" and"Strain" of a given material under nano controlled loads. Unlike the traditional Tensile Testing method of obtaining Stress-Strain curve data, which gives data at a macro level, the Nanoindentation method provides vital Stress-Strain curve data at nano level scale without the large and intense machinery. The Stress-Strain curve of various materials will vary widely.
