This is an important concern since a change in contact loads might lead to differences in stress intensity factors and therefore result in alteration of the crack shape and rate of crack growth.2.Three-dimensional FEM simulations of fatigue crack growth in a spiral bevel pinion gearAn example of tooth-bending failure can be observed in a spiral bevel pinion gear used in the main rotor transmission of the US ArmyÕs OH-58Kiowa Helicopter(Fig.1).This gear is composed of19teeth and meshes with a71-tooth gear under operating conditions of6060rpm and3099in.-lb of torque.The material used for OH-58spiral bevel gears is AISI9310steel.Material properties of this steel are given in Table1as well as the Paris model parameters[10]used in the fatigue life calculations described in Section2.1.The OH-58spiral bevel pinion gear,shown in Fig.1,was tested in an actual helicopter transmission test facility at full speed under increasing loading conditions at the NASA Glenn Research Center(NASA/ GRC).Several electron-discharge-machined(EDM)notches with different sizes were introduced at thefillet of a toothÕs concave side to serve as fatigue crack initiators.The test was run for one million cycles at 2479in.-lb,one million cycles at3099in.-lb,one million cycles at3874in.-lb and1.9million cycles at 4649in.-lb.At the end of a total of4.9million cycles,five fractured teeth were observed.No crack growth measurements were taken during the test.In this respect,this test only provided an upper bound on fatigue life of a tooth of4.9million cycles.However,qualitative information on the fracture surfaces and fatiguecrack growth were extracted from the test.A detailed study of the fracture surfaces using a scanning elec-tron microscope (SEM)can be found in [1].2.1.ApproachIn the current study,as in [1],LEFM theories were used for fatigue crack growth predictions.Fatigue crack growth rates were determined using a modified Paris model accounting for crack closure.A crack is assumed to advance when its SIF is large enough to overcome closure and is larger than the SIF of the pre-vious load step.All fatigue life predictions were based on plane strain assumptions.Crack direction predic-tions were made using the maximum circumferential stress theory [11].Moving loads were takenintoFig.1.OH-58spiral bevel pinion gear showing tooth-bending fatigue fracture:(a)whole

history at the tooth root meaning that the ratio of Mode II to Mode I SIFs changed during the load cycle.Complex cracking problems,such as the current gear problem,require computation of mixed mode SIFs due to the combined loading that they receive.Several fundamentally different approaches for computing SIFs have been developed.Among these methods,the displacement correlation method[12–15]and equivalent domain J-integral methods[16–21]are widely used in numerical computations.In the previous BEM-based simulations of this spiral bevel pinion gear,the displacement correlation method was used for calculating SIFs.This method only requires displacement information on the boundary near the crack front and is computationally efficient.Since the BEM solves for displacement information only on the bounda-ries,this method is directly suitable for the BEM analysis.This method is only as accurate as the computed displacements at the correlation points.In the current FEM-based simulations,we used the equivalent do-main,J-integral approach.SIFs calculated by this method are known to produce more accurate values than those from displacement correlation,from the same local displacementfields,because it involves numerical integration over computedfields rather than point sampling.The overall methodology used in the present simulations is composed of the following steps:1.Create initial geometry model of the spiral bevel pinion gear with the Object Solid Modeler(OSM)[22]using the gear geometry information provided by the NASA/GRC.2.Specify boundary conditions and material properties in Fracture Analysis Code-3D(FRANC3D)[23].3.Insert the initial crack in FRANC3D at the location where the EDM defect was inserted in the testpinion.4.Create a surface mesh composed of triangular elements in FRANC3D.5.Create a3D FEM mesh composed of tetrahedra using JMesh[24]using a geometry descriptionfilewritten out from FRANC3D.6.Calculate the magnitude and location of the nodal contact loads resulting from continuous meshing ofthe pinion and the gear(Fig.2).7.Run the FEM analysis on a parallel PC-cluster for15discrete load ing the J-integral method,calculate SIF values at each specified crack front point for each load step.8.Calculate crack extension and crack growth angle due to one non-proportional load cycle using theapproach developed in[1].For each

occurs in three dimensions following a path along the tooth surface start-ing from the root and moving up to the top of the tooth on the heel end (Fig.2).In order to model this three-dimensional effect the magnitude and location of contact loads at different instants of time over one loading cycle have to be determined.There are no closed-form solutions for the contact loads on a pin-ion tooth due to the complexity of the gear geometry and three-dimensional effects.To this end,numerical tools were developed by Litvin and Zhang [25]to determine the mean contact points on the spiral bevel pinion tooth.In analyzing the present spiral bevel gear,it is assumed that the contact between the gear and pinion follows Hertz theory of elastic contact which takes into account only normal pressure between two bodies and produces an elliptical contact area with a semi-ellipsoidal pressure distribution.The continuous meshing process between a gear and a pinion is modeled by 15discrete load steps.Load steps 5–11are single tooth contact and 1–4and 12–15are double tooth contact.Single tooth contact steps create larger contact areas and larger loads on the tooth surface.Load step 11corresponds to the highest point of single tooth contact.The location of the 15contact ellipses and the magnitude of the contact loads applied over these areas were provided by NASA/GRC.In Ref.[1],contact ellipses were a part of the geo-metry models.Since the ellipses overlapped,four different geometry models were needed for each crack configuration.In the current approach,contact loads are no longer a part of the geometry model.This ap-proach brings a substantial decrease in computation time since only one geometry model for each crack configuration is now needed.In the current work,moving contact loads are approximated by interpolation using the shape functions on the surfaces of the loaded elements.This procedure starts with reading the1152 A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics 72(2005)1148–1170mesh information created by JMesh and retrieving the geometry information of the n th (n =1,2,...,15)contact ellipse.After the nodal points defined in three-dimensional coordinates are transformed into a two-dimensional contact space according to the mapping described in [25],mesh nodes falling into the con-tact area bounded by the n th ellipse are determined.If the node is within the contact area work equivalent nodal contact forces are calculated following standard finite element procedures.All the information for nodes found by this search and the corresponding loads are written out to a file completing the procedure.2.3.ResultsThree-dimensional,parallel finite element analyses were performed for an OH-58spiral bevel pinion gear for 54crack growth steps.In the previous serial BEM-based analysis,only 13crack growth steps were per-formed.One crack growth step in the FEM analyses consists of 15static finite element analyses in order to simulate moving loads on the pinion tooth.After the 54th crack growth step the analysis was stopped be-cause it was concluded that propagating the crack further would not provide additional insights into the simulations and results.All predictions were based on the methodology outlined in Section 2.1.Fig.4shows the initial surface FE mesh of the spiral bevel pinion gear.As seen in the figure,the mesh is finer on the tooth where the initial crack is located.The volume mesh of the gear is composed of 10-noded tetrahedra which model quadratic variation of displacement over the element domain.Modeling only three teeth of the pinion was adequate to obtain accurate results.A study was done in [26]which showed the comparison of SIFs between explicit modeling of three and nine teeth of the pinion.For both models,K I and K II values were very similar leading to the conclusion that the three teeth model is sufficient for the simulations.The initial flaw is modeled as a semi-elliptical crack with dimensions 0.125in.long and 0.05in.deep,although the actual EDM notch was rectangular.This difference is introduced by the attempt to avoid sharp corners which create stress concentrations leading to inaccurate numerical results.However,the initial notch shapes are still very similar in size and location and the predictions from the simulations and experimental results can still be compared.The initial crack is introduced into the fillet of the middle tooth of the concave side.The displacements in all directions with respect to the global coordinate system at the end of the long shaft of the pinion and the normal component of displacements on the surfaces of the smaller shaft are set tozero.Fig.4.A spiral bevel pinion model with surface FE mesh:(a)whole pinion,(b)close-up view of pinion teeth.Note the location of the initial crack in the middle tooth.(c)Initial crack shape and dimensions.A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics 72(2005)1148–11701153Figs.5–7show Mode I,II and III stress intensity factors,respectively,for the initial crack configuration for the first eleven load steps.Only load steps 1,5,9and 11are shown in the figures for clarity.Since a crack is not assumed to advance when its SIF is smaller than the SIF of the previous load step,only the first 11steps practically contribute to crack growth calculations.In these figures,crack front position cor-responds to the points near the crack front at which SIF values are evaluated.The orientation of the initial crack is shown in Fig.4c.In the initial step of crack growth simulation,the crack front was discretized such that there were 222points at which SIF values were calculated.This is compared to only 61points previ-ously used with the BEM-based model [1].In Fig.5,Mode I SIFs show an increasing trend as the load moves up the tooth surface (i.e.the load step number increases)since more load is transferred to the pinion tooth and the lever arm between the contact points and the crack increases.Maximum SIFs occurfor1154 A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics 72(2005)1148–1170A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics72(2005)1148–11701155step11after which SIF values decrease due to switching to double tooth contact.The influence of Mode III SIFs on the crack shape predictions was not taken into account.Fig.8shows the crack shape predictions by the parallel FEM on the tooth surface and cross-section of the tooth for several crack growth steps including the initial andfinal configurations of the crack.Fig.9 contains a close-up view of the last step of crack growth viewed from the toe end of the tooth,and a detail of the corresponding mesh.Fig.9b shows that JMesh is capable of meshing very complex crack shapes while still producing well-shaped elements.parison of present and previous resultsThis section compares the present results with those reported in[1]in terms of accuracy and efficiency. One of the most significant improvements in the present work is the difference in the solution time of the problem with the use of a better simulation environment and state-of-the-art hardware.This comparison is presented for historical progress reasons only.It is not to show parallel FEM is better than serial BEM.A parallel PC-cluster at the Cornell Theory Center was used to perform the crack growth simulations with an in-house-developed,parallel,FEM solution framework.The cluster is ranked49th(1068GFlops) in the21st list of the Top500supercomputer sites(published in June,2003).Its hardware consists of192 Dell PowerEdge2650servers with a Gigabit Ethernet interconnect,running Microsoft Windows2000Ad-vanced Server as its operating system.Each node is equipped with2Intel Xeon processors clocked at 2.4GHz and having4GB of RAM.For our simulations,a maximum of128nodes was used and only one processor per node was utilized(Table2).One load step of the largest problem(3,044,077DOF)takes about10min on64processors.Gigabit Ethernet is by no means a very fast(low latency)interconnect,and that is the main reason why going to128processors reduces the solution time by only about20%.Fortu-nately,all load steps can be dealt with independently and we can run two of them simultaneously on two sets of64processors each.This increases the overall throughput and lets us complete one load cycle in about1.5h on128processors.With advances in solver technology(optimized matrix ordering/storage, more effective preconditioners)and faster I/O,this time can be reduced further.Preliminary tests indicate that a further50%reduction of the execution time can be achieved this way.The performance comparison in Table 2clearly shows that there is a very significant improvement in computation time with the development of a parallel FEM solver,even when adding significant resolution to the solution.The solution time for the previous serial BEM simulations was about 65h for onecrackFig.8.Crack shape predictions by parallel FEM on tooth surface and tooth cross-section.1156 A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics 72(2005)1148–1170growth step,whereas the parallel FEM simulations took much less time for each crack growth step,even though the models have much higher resolution.The number of unknowns for the FEM was about a mil-lion at the initial step,and increased to more than 3million as the crack front advanced.3D volume mesh-ing of one model,still performed in sequential and not parallel mode,ranged from 20min for thesmallest Fig.9.(a)Close-up view of the simulated crack after the last step of crack growth and (b)detail of mesh corresponding (a).Table 2Comparison of performance between present parallel FEM and previous serial BEM simulationsItemFEM BEM Computer power128nodes a Single DEC-Alpha PC-cluster,2.4GHz Workstation,175MHz Number of unknowns$1–3million 6700(coefficient matrix)(sparse,symmetric)(dense,non-symmetric)Max.solution time per load cycle$1.5h $60h (one load cycle =15load steps)(4models)Typical time for one crack step$4.5h b $65h c aOnly one processor per node is used.bSolution time plus 3h post-processing and remeshing.c Solution time plus 5h post-processing and remeshing.A.Ural et al./Engineering Fracture Mechanics 72(2005)1148–11701157model to about an hour for the largest models.Of course,solution time for a single crack step using the previous serial BEM-based approach would be substantially reduced with use of a similar,faster processor. However,resolution in terms of length of crack step,and,therefore,crack geometry and accuracy of SIFs would still be wanting.Improvement in the computation time for each crack growth step allowed us to increase solution reso-lution by taking smaller crack increment steps and to simulate more steps of propagation.Figs.10–12show the comparison of crack area,depth and crack front length by FEM and BEM.The summary of the infor-mation from thesefigures is also given on Table3.These plots indicate that the current fatigue growth rate is marginally lower when we compare the crack area and the crack front length,and more cycles are re-increasequired to achieve the same amount of crack growth when compared with previous results.A rapidTable3Comparison of crack growth amount between present and previous simulationsResults Present Previous[1] Number of steps5413Total number of cycles383,000311,000 Final crack front length 1.55in. 1.42in.

useful fatigue life of the pinion.Figs.13–15show the SIF comparisons for load steps3,7and11.Thesefigures show that Mode I SIF calculations using displacement correlation and the BEM are higher than those from using J-integral and the FEM for load step3and7.However for load step11,the values are almost the same throughout the crack front.Figs.16and17present the comparison of SIF variation over one load cycle and non-proportional load history.In Fig.16,it is seen that K I predictions are lower in the J-integral/FEM analysis than the displace-ment correlation/BEM analysis over most of the steps.As seen in Fig.17,the ratio of K II to K I over15load steps shows a similar trend as observed in the BEM-based analysis with a slight difference in values.These differences in SIFs influence the fatigue life predictions which depend on K I values and also crack growth direction which depend on the ratio of K II to K I.Crack shape comparisons in Fig.18show that,on the tooth surface,crack trajectory predicted by cur-rent FEM-based simulation is similar to the previous BEM-based results.The deviation of crack path at thetoe end in the previous predictions was also observed in current predictions.On the heel end,current results exhibit a less steep propagation angle than the experimental trajectory.On the tooth cross-section it is ob-served that the current predicted crack trajectory is less steep than previous BEM and experimental results.Current results also exhibit a shallower ridge formation than the experiment.Although the FEM-predicted crack path still does not exactly reproduce the crack shape observed in experiments,it captures the global behavior of the crack propagation shape.An important remark is that the crack trajectory at the cross-sec-tion changes along the crack front.The comparison shown in Fig.18is one sample for the cross-section at the midpoint of the initial crack.The reason for the deviation of crack path on the toe end is most probably the end product of the inac-curate representation of the contact loads.Hertzian model used in the simulations assumes that the location and magnitude of the contact loads are constant.However,the pinion tooth becomes more flexible as the crack grows and the amount of load transferred decreases,also changing the SIFs.Therefore,a better rep-resentation of the contact loads accounting for these effects is necessary.This can be achieved through ex-plicit 3D contact analysis which is capable of capturing the change in magnitude and location of contact.In the following section,we demonstrate the effect of a growing crack on the contact loads by performing 3D,FEM-based contact analysis.3.Three-dimensional,FEM-based contact analysisThe meshing of a gear and pinion produces loads on the tooth surface that change in magnitude and position in time.In Section 2,analyses assuming Hertzian contact theory were described.This assumption,however,is a simplification for a number of reasons:(1)the teeth and rims that transmit the load are flex-ible,(2)assumed elliptical contact area on the tooth surface may not be accurate since the curvatures of the teeth surfaces in contact are not constant over the contact zone,(3)the center of contact,where the maxi-mum contact stress occurs,may differ from the theoretical contact point and (4)most importantly for the current investigation,the tooth flexibility changes as the crack propagates in a tooth.The change in flex-ibility due to cracking may shift the contact area,and change the magnitude of the contact loading.In this section a series of three-dimensional finite element analyses that model the contact conditions be-tween the gear and pinion explicitly are described.The purpose of this study is to assess what influence the details of the load transfer through the contact conditions have on the computed stress intensity factors,and through them the predicted crack shape.Three-dimensional,finite element contact analyses in spiral bevel gears have been undertaken by sev-eral researchers to study the stresses induced at the root and on the surface of the tooth.Earlierworkparison of crack shape predicted by the serial BEM,the parallel FEM and an experiment on the tooth surface and tooth cross-section at the midpoint of crack.by Bibel et al.[27]utilized gap elements to simulate the contact boundary conditions and to evaluate the stresses on the tooth surface.Further study on this subject eliminated the need for using gap elements through the use of contact capabilities of commercialfinite element programs.Preliminary results showing the moving contact patches over the tooth surface are reported in Bibel and Handschuh[28].These analyses also incorporated automatic meshing of the gear and pinion via the addition of user subroutines to a com-mercialfinite element program.The same authors performed additional analyses in order to compare experimentally measured tooth bending stresses in spiral bevel gears to FEM results[29].Other studies on the contact analysis of spiral bevel gears,including the development of a methodology combining a sur-face integral and afinite element solution,are described by Vijayakar[30].Numerical examples carried out using this approach show the change in the contact area as a result of the misalignment of the gears.The changing stiffness of a cracking tooth was investigated in2D spur gears by an analytical model where the gear geometry was mapped to an elastic half-plane and stiffness of a cracked spur gear was calculated as a function of Mode I and II SIFs[31].3.1.ApproachThe goal of the present study is to perform contact analyses incorporating cracking to determine the ef-fect of changing toothflexibility on the magnitude and location of the contact load and,therefore,on the stress intensity factors.A commercialfinite element program,ABAQUS[32],was used to perform the con-tact analysis in conjunction with software developed by the Cornell Fracture Group to calculate fracture-related parameters.A general outline of the approach is as follows:1.Create initial geometry model of the spiral bevel pinion and gear with OSM using the geometry infor-mation provided by the NASA/GRC.2.Specify boundary conditions,material properties and contact surfaces in FRANC3D.3.Specify initial crack in FRANC3D.4.Create a surface mesh composed of triangular elements in FRANC3D.5.Create a3D FE mesh of the model composed of tetrahedra using JMesh.6.Transform the FRANC3D model into an ABAQUS inputfile.7.Perform contact analysis in ABAQUS and determine the location and magnitude of the contact loads.8.Calculate SIFs using the results of FEM contact analysis and also using the results from analysis withHertzian contact loads in pare these values and investigate their effects on the crack shape predictions.Geometries of a one-tooth sector of the spiral bevel pinion and gear were created separately in OSM using the information provided by NASA/GRC.This information regarding the geometric positions of points defining the gear set was determined analytically using the method developed by Litvin and Zhang [25].The one-tooth gear and pinion models were created in a common coordinate system with the same axis of rotation(z-axis).Additional teeth of the gear and pinion were created by copying and rotating the orig-inal tooth by an angle equal to360°divided by number of gear teeth.The resulting models were further rotated to orient them in the proper meshing position.At the meshing orientation,there was no interference between the gear and pinion teeth.The analyses used both FRANC3D and ABAQUS.FRANC3D was used to generate the complicated geometry of the gear,to specify the analysis attributes and to define the crack.Also,it was used as a post-processor to calculate the SIFs.ABAQUS was utilized forfinite element contact analysis of the model. In order to perform contact analysis on models with cracks,features that complement FRANC3D and ABAQUS were needed.In this respect FRANC3D was extended to include a capability of specifying the master and slave contact surfaces and to include a translator to convert the information regarding。

peeningResidual stress and strain hardening Evolution of crack aspect ratioa b s t r a c tIn this study,short fatigue crack initiation and early growth behaviour under low cycle fatigue conditions was investigated in a shot peened low pressure steam turbine blade material.Four different surface con-ditions of notched samples have been considered:polished,ground,T0(industry applied shot peened process)and T1(a less intense shot peened process).Fatigue crack aspect ratio (a/c )evolution in the early stages of crack growth in polished and shot peened cases was found to be quite different:the former was more microstructure dependent (e.g.stringer initiation)while the crack morphology in the shot peened cases was more related to the shot peening process (i.e.surface roughness,position with respect to the compressive stress and strain hardening profiles).Under similar strain range conditions,the beneficial effect of shot peening (in the T0condition)was retained even at a high strain level (D e 11=0.68%),N f ,ground <N f ,T1<N f ,polished <N f ,T0.The a/c evolution effects were incorporated in K -evaluations and used in calculating da/dN from surface replica data.Apparent residual stress (based on crack driving force D K difference)was applied to describe the benefit of shot peening and was seen to extend significantly below the measured residual stress profile,indicating the importance of the strain hardening layer and stress redistribution effects during crack growth.Ó2015Published by Elsevier Ltd.1.IntroductionShot peening is one of the most effective surface engineering approaches to improve fatigue resistance,and has been widely applied in a range of components,such as industrial steam turbine components (in the severe stress concentration areas).The shot peening process,as detailed elsewhere [1–3],produces inhomoge-neous plastic deformation in the near surface layer which induces not only residual stress but also an increase in hardness,surface roughness,dislocation density,and also surface defects.The shot peening process is typically controlled by measuring intensity and coverage.The intensity of shot peening can be characterized by an Almen type gauge,which is a thin strip of SAE1070desig-nated as ‘‘A’’,‘‘N’’and ‘‘C’’type which differ in thickness but have the same width and length;while coverage is defined as the ratio of the area covered by peening indentations to the overall treated specimen surface and is expressed as a percentage.Many investigations have focussed on the effect of shot peening on fatigue behaviour in different material systems such as steel,Al and Ti alloys [4–8].The rough surface induced is generally consid-ered to be detrimental to fatigue resistance [4],while both the residual stress and strain hardening profiles at,and just below,the surface are considered to improve fatigue resistance [9,10].The benefit of shot peening in the high cycle fatigue regime is well documented [9,11,12],however,in the low cycle fatigue regime,this benefit is more service condition dependent and more com-plex to assess,especially when it comes to residual stress relax-ation or strain hardening changes during the fatigue process.Recent reviews [13,14]have detailed at some length the effects of the shot peening process (surface roughness,plastic deformation as well as residual stress)on fatigue behaviour as well as how the magnitude of these effects can be determined both experimentally and numerically.Although there has been substantial investigation into the effect of shot peening on the fatigue life of different mate-rial systems,systematic research on fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviour (especially when operating in the LCF regime)in a notch stress field has not yet been fully explored.Whilst a few studies have tried to investigate the effect of the near surface layer induced by shot peening,generally only the total fati-gue life has been focused upon,not the specific evolution of fatigue/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2015.03.0170142-1123/Ó2015Published by Elsevier Ltd.⇑Corresponding author.Tel.:+442380599450;fax:+442380593016.E-mail

electropolishing method which was detailed in[15](electrolyte8%(by volume)of60%perchloric acid solution mixed in solution with92%(by vol-ume)of glacial acetic acid).The fatigue crack behaviour was evaluated by three point bend tests at ambient temperature with a sinusoidal waveform and fre-quency of20Hz on a servo hydraulic Instron8502machine.To simulate the stress concentration feature in the steam turbine, the fatigue samples contain a U-notch that provides a stress con-centration factor$1.6(which has been calculated using an elastic finite element analysis).This U-notched fatigue sample as well as the relevant S/N data has been reported elsewhere[15,17],as reproduced in Fig.5.Although the fatigue test was under load con-trol with a load ratio of0.1,the true strain range experienced at the notch root was simulated by an elastic plasticfinite element model.In the present study,crack initiation and propagation beha-viour were investigated under the same local strain range condi-tions.The true strain in the sample loading direction(D e11)was 0.68%.The effect of any modifications to material behaviour induced by surface processing,such as surface work hardening, was neglected in this calculation.This allowed a representative comparison to be drawn between the samples tested under differ-ent surface conditions.Interrupted fatigue tests were carried out to evaluate the evolu-tion of crack aspect ratio.Fatigue tests were interrupted at about 65–75%of the estimated fatigue life(based on the S/N curve); the samples were then removed from the test apparatus and oxi-dized in an furnace at600°C for2h.After that,they were kept in liquid nitrogen for up to10min to allow samples to cool down thoroughly to below the ductile to brittle transition temperature. These cooled samples were then broken open with a hammer man-ually and the fracture surfaces were allowed to warm up to ambi-ent temperature in acetone.The interrupted fatigue test with subsequent heat tinting process allows the evolution of crack shape in the depth of the sample to be assessed,since the fatigue crack region after heat tinting is clearly different from the subse-quent brittle fracture area.In addition,a silicone replica technique was used during fatigue testing at differing numbers of cycles to monitor crack initiation and short crack growth behaviour in polished,ground,T0and T1 shot peened cases.Crack length measurement from replication as well as the crack growth rate assessments are extensively described in[17].Stress intensity factor(SIF)K calculations in the present study were based on Scott and Thorpe’s review paper of semi-elliptical cracks[20].The fatigue crack was assumed to be a semi-elliptical crack in afinite thickness plate

longitudinal and transverse directions.3.ResultsA comparison of surface roughness obtained by both optical and tactile line measurement techniques for each surface condition is shown in Fig.6.In each case,surface roughness Ra (or Rz )in line profile measurement are comparable in both the optical and con-tact approach.However,area roughness Sa (the arithmetic average of the 3D roughness)and Sz (maximum height of surface rough-ness)in all these four cases are apparently higher than Ra and Rz obtained by 2D profile measurements,respectively.In the ground case,grinding marks play an important role in fatigue crack prop-agation behaviour [17].Roughness Ra in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the grinding marks)is less than that in the transverse direction (normal to the grinding marks).In the shot peened case,Ra in T0is 3.69±0.35l m and 1.40±0.16l m in the less intense shot peened case (T1).3D reconstruction of the as-shot peened sur-face were obtained by Alicona Mex based on SEM images tilted at À5°,0°,5°,as shown in Fig.7.In both the T1and T0cases,shot pee-ned lips at the bottom or edges of shot peened dimples and some crack-like regions are clearly revealed.However,these defects induced by severe plastic deformation in the T0condition appeared more frequently.Quite a thin compressive residual stress layer ($20l m)near surface can be observed in the polished condition,as can be seen in Fig.8.Residual stress obtained in the ground condition was based on measurements on the U-notched geometry,which was detailed in [15].Tensile stress was found on the ground surface in the longitudinal direction while a compressive stress (a very thin layer,$5l m)was observed in the transverse direction.In both directions,tensile residual stress increased gradually up to a maximum point ($400MPa in the longitudinal direction and $250MPa in the transverse direction)at $20l m beneath the sur-face.After that,the value of tensile residual stress decayed to a bal-ancing compressive stress as the depth increased.The total depth of the affected layer in the ground condition is around 100–150l m.For T1,the stress distributions in the longitudinal and transverse direction showed no significant difference:the maxi-mum compressive stress was À620MPa at 50l m depth and the total residual stress affected layer extended to about 200l m beneath the surface.For T0,the residual stress is also similar in two directions:the maximum compressive residual stress in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is $600MPa.The depths where the compressive stress reached the maximum value in both directions were all around $150l m,aftermicrographs of the four different surface conditions:(a)polished,(b)ground,(c)T0shot peened condition

the compressive stress decreased gradually to a tensile stress at $340l m depth.There are several different methods that can be applied to the plastic strain profile,such as micro-hardness,X-ray diffraction (XRD)line broadening and electron backscatter diffrac-(EBSD)local misorientation techniques.As discussed exten-sively in [16],the results calculatedfrom the microhardness technique indicated a greater plastic strain depth (resulting deeper yield strength profile)than the other two methods.would lead to non-conservative estimates of component remnantFig.7.3D as-shot peened

tests after heat tinting for polished,T0and T1samples are illustrated in Figs.10–12respectively.The remnant crack opening after the fati-gue process allowed oxidation to occur in the fatigued regions dur-ing the heat tinting process.The distinction between the fatigue and brittle failure region was apparent under SEM observation,since the brittle fracture area is more faceted or rough,while the fatigue damage area is relatively smooth.Fig.10(a)shows the overview of the fracture surface in the polished case after the fati-gue test was interrupted at 18,292cycles (about 65–75%of thefatigue life based on the previously established S /N curve).As shown in Fig.10(b)and (c),the cracks identified were still quite small and individual,since no apparent crack coalescence was observed.Fig.10(b)was the longest crack found in this specimen,with a surface projected crack length of 700l m (measurement based on the fracture surface).Crack shapes were semi-elliptical or near semi-circular;within the central fatigue region,aluminium oxide stringers (e.g.in Fig.10(b))and MnS (e.g.in Fig.10(c))were revealed clearly,and are likely to be the crack initiation sites.However,early crack behaviour in the T0shot peening condi-tion was quite different,as shown in Fig.11.This was probably due to the complex surface condition associated with local

well as the residual stress distribution.The fatigue process was interrupted at 36,163cycles (60–70%of the established fatigue life).Fatigue crack shapes were very shallow;ratchet marks in the fatigue region indicate crack coalescence has already occurred at this fatigue stage,and also there were sev-eral crack initiation sites,but these were not from inclusions.However,in the less intense shot peening process (T1),early fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviour exhibits the features of both the polished (baseline)and T0case,as evidenced in Fig.12(a)and (b).Fig.13(a)illustrates the difference between the real surface crack length 2c and the projected surface crack length 2c project .In the present study,the crack length,2c project ,can be measured from the fracture surface after the interrupted fatigue test.Crack mor-phology during the fatigue process was not only dependent on microstructure,but also varied with load/stress condition.One approach to obtain crack aspect ratio a/c is to measure half surface crack length c project and crack depth a at the deepest position directly.However,since the crack shape was not regular (as shown in Fig.13(b))this definition of a/c was not considered sufficiently(a)(b)Cracks iniƟated from inclusionsT1shot peened case after interrupted heat-tinted test:(a)fatigue cracks initiated from inclusions and (b)shallow (a)2c projecta2c

semi-elliptical in the present investigation,then crack aspect ratio a/c can be derived more systematically and consistently from mea-sured surface crack length 2c projec t and the approximation of an equivalent semi-ellipse with this value of c project ,based on the total measured fatigue area A .The variation of aspect ratio (a/c )with surface crack length 2c project as well as the nominal crack depth a in both the polished notch and shot peened samples are illustrated in Fig.14(a)and (b),respectively.Generally speaking,crack aspect ratio in the baseline test was around $1,higher than observed in the T0shot peened case,at longer crack lengths the a/c ratio for the baseline condition tended to a value of 0.8.In terms of the baseline condition,for shorter cracks,a/c tends to be slightly higher,for example,the shortest crack identified in this case is 117l m in length with an aspect ratio a/c of 1.27,whereas it is only 0.94for the longest crack (711l m in length,as illustrated in Fig.10(b)).Thus it appears that in the early stages of crack growth the crack length in the depth direction is longer than the projected half surface crack length,indicating that the crack propagated faster in the depth direction than along the surface.It is thought that the effect of the initiation process via cracking of brittle,vertically aligned stringers in the microstructure produces an initially higher aspect ratio at smaller crack sizes.Under the effect of shot peening,however,the crack aspect ratio was initially very small,indicating a shallow crack shape.The aspect ratio tended to increase gradually as the surface crack length increased.After the aspect ratio reached its maximum value (a/c =0.8),it decreased somewhat with increase of the surface crack length,this is thought to be due to frequentcrackB.Y.He et al./International Journal of Fatigue xxx (2015)xxx–xxx7coalescence.The effect of shot peening on aspect ratio can be seen more clearly if a/c is plotted against crack depth,as shown in Fig.14(b).The depth where the aspect ratio reaches the maximum value of a/c was $120–150l m,similar to the position of the max-imum compressive residual stress ($150l m,as shown in Fig.8)and/or the depth of the shot peened plastic deformation layer ($160l m,as can be seen in Fig.9)for the T0shot peened condi-tion.This shallow crack shape indicated the crack growth rate in the depth direction (i.e.growing into an increasing compressive residual stress field)was actually slower than the growth rate at the surface.In the less intense shot peening case (T1),both microstructure and the shot peening effect played an important role in fatigue crack shape evolution.Crack morphology/aspect ratio evolution shows features of both the polished (baseline)and T0shot peened cases and distinction between these two regimes can be visualized in Fig.14(a):where it can be seen that some of these aspect ratios fall into the data cluster for the polished condition while the others fit well with aspect ratios of the T0condition.Fig.5shows that under similar applied strain range conditions,the fatigue life of the ground,T1and polished cases are quite similar,while the T0case still shows significant benefit from the shot peen-ing process,even in this low cycle fatigue regime.The variations in c at different number of cycles in polished,ground,T0and T1condi-tion are shown in Fig.15(a),(b),(c)and (d),respectively.What should be noted here is that all the fatigue cracks studied in the pre-sent research are all dominant cracks which coalesced and led to the final failure.To make a clear comparison between the different sur-face conditions,all these data points in (a–d)are combined together as shown in Fig.15(e).Half surface crack length c at different fatigue life ratios in all these four conditions are illustrated in Fig.15(f).Fatigue cracks in the baseline condition (polished and ground)appeared at around 50%of fatigue life and after that these cracks developed at a constant rate and accelerated near the end of fatigue life,when the main cracks coalesced,leading to failure.Although the cracks in the T1case were also clearly picked up at 50%of fatigue life,crack coalescence in the later fatigue stages was obvious.However,some of the cracks observed in the T0case in the very early stages of fatigue life were pre-existing (for example,one of the initiating cracks was 51l m,while the other one was 242l m before any cyclic loading had been applied).This indicates that they were pre-existing on the shot peened surface and these pre-initiated cracks started to grow very slowly at $0.1–0.2of fatigue life but the crack lengths did not increase dramatically until 0.7–0.8of fatigue life,where crack coalescence occurred frequently and secondary cracks also began to grow.Based on the number of ratchet marks on the fracture surface,crack initiation sites in the T0condition were as many as 18,while only about 11initiation sites were observed in the polished and ground baseline cases (Fig.16).However,there are only 7initiation sites observed in the less intense shot peening process (T1).Based on the replication studies,cracks in the early fatigue stages were very small and ratchet marks left by early stage crack coalescence were not easy to pared to the shot peened case,crack coalescence in the ground sample occurred infrequently even near the end of fatigue life,partly because there were significantly less initiation sites during the fatigue process.4.DiscussionMaterial microstructure played an important role in fatigue crack initiation and propagation.Alumina and MnS are two of the most common non-metallic inclusions present in steel,and these stringers can be clearly identified in the present study.Since in this study,the fracture surface (crack plane)is actually parallel to the longitudinal direction where these stringers are dis-tributed,in the baseline conditions,these stringers tended to be favoured crack initiation sites.The cracks initiated along the brittle aluminium oxide stringers or inclusions,which were either on the surface or slightly beneath the surface.Since the stringers are in the longitudinally aligned direction,which is parallel to the crack depth direction,at the very early fatigue stage,those fatigue cracks initiated at stringers (or inclusions)were encouraged to propagate in the depth direction,due to the higher stress intensity around these elongated,brittle and mechanically mismatched inclusions.So the initiating inclusion position and shape will strongly affect the initial fatigue crack morphology leading to an initially larger crack aspect ratio (around 1.2).As the crack propagated,the range of stress intensity factor around the initiation sites became less dominant and the crack grew to the more expected equilibrium shape,where the stress intensity factor at both the crack surface and depth are the same.Whilst in the less intense shot peening process (T1),the effect of these inclusions was still significant,more intense shot peening (T0)overcame the microstructure dominated initiation process as evidenced by inclusions being seldom found in the fatigue region.In this case,almost all the cracks initiated from the surface with no clear evidence of subsurface crack initiation.Furthermore,for a crack initiated from the rough shot peened surface,cracks tended to propagate along the surface direction rather than the depth direction when the crack tip process zone is within the shot peened affected zone;once it breaks through this region,crack growth in the depth direction becomes faster.This explains why the smaller cracks are shallow (low a/c )in shot peened samples.Compared to the ground surface condition,the fatigue life is slightly longer for the polished notch surface,showing about a 12%improvement.For the T0case,the fatigue life is almost twice that for the polished,ground,or less intense shot peened speci-mens under a similar applied local strain condition (D e 11=0.68%).The improvement of fatigue life is due to a complex interrelation of the effect of the surface roughness induced by the shot peening process,the compressive residual stress distribution as well as the work hardened layer.For many engineering components and structures,short fatigue crack behaviour controls the majority of total fatigue life.A num-ber of researchers have reported that these short cracks propagate much faster than long cracks under equivalent stress intensity fac-tor ranges D K [21–23].Conventionally,small crack data analysis approaches employ secant or polynomial data reduction,assuming that small crack shapes are semi-circular (a/c =1).However,the results of Ravichandran’s study [24,25]strongly indicate that some8 B.Y.He et al./International Journal of Fatigue xxx (2015)xxx–xxxof these apparent characteristics of small cracks,often referred to as anomalous,are in fact partly due to the assumption that a/c =1.He found that allowing for the lower levels of crack closure found naturally in small cracks,and for the a/c variations in D K cal-culations,the scatter in the growth data of small cracks was signif-icantly reduced and was found to be of the same order as in large cracks.In the present study,it is also noteworthy that the crack aspect ratio varies with crack length c (and,ergo,also crack depth a ).The change of aspect ratio in the shot peened condition is espe-cially obvious,varying between 0.38and 0.83,while it is more con-sistent between 0.9and 1.2in the polished notch condition.Therefore,it is necessary to consider the aspect ratio evolution when analyzing fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviour in terms of the crack tip stress intensity factor.A Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM)calculation of K -equilibrium around the crack front was conducted based on Scott and Thorpe’s review paper [20].A local stress level (D r 11)of 1500MPa in the loading direction was used in calculating the short crack D K levels in the notch root.This stress range was esti-mated using finite element modelling,implementing an isotropic hardening model based on the monotonic tensile data obtained in the direction perpendicular to rolling.Assuming a notional crack in the polished condition (not considering the shot peening effect),its crack shape area A is fixed,the crack depth a at varying crack aspect ratio a/c (a/c =0.1,0.2,0.3,...,1.8,1.9,2.0)can be obtained.The variation of D K surface and D K depth for cracks with the same fati-gue area but different a/c ratios is illustrated in Fig.17(a).At low aspect ratios,the expected K in the depth direction is greater than that at the surface;whilst at a high aspect ratio the expected K in the surface direction is greater than that in the depth direction when a/c is 0.8,D K surface and D K depth are in equilibrium.This is con-sistent with the experimental crack aspect ratio evolution,where the aspect ratio ($0.8)was achieved in both the baseline and shot peening tests once the crack had grown away from the effect of microstructural initiation and the shot peened affected layer respectively.In fact,the equilibrium a/c also varies with absolute crack size.But it is a challenge to unambiguously characterize this feature through these interrupted fatigue tests,since when the crack length 2c is longer than 1000l m,the fatigue test is in the last stages of fatigue life and crack coalescence events are happening frequently and affecting the aspect ratio measurement for differing reasons.In Fig.17(b),the characterization of the change of equilib-rium a/c at different surface crack lengths was based on the assumption of isolated individual cracks with different surface crack length 2c (50,100,200,500,1000,2000l m).When the sur-face crack length 2c is no more than 500l m,the equilibrium a /c isB.Y.He et al./International Journal of Fatigue xxx (2015)xxx–xxx 90.8,as is the case in observations from the interrupted fatigue test cases.However,as the surface crack length increases,this equilib-rium value decreases gradually,for example,a/c equilibrium is0.75at 1000l m while it drops to0.52if the surface crack length2c is 5000l m.This trend is expressed as equation g(x)in Fig.18(a)and(b),which shows the evolution of crack aspect ratio in both non-peened and shot peened conditions.In the polished and ground case,the evolution of a/c will be given by equation k(x)when crack length2c62065l m,while equation g(x)will be applied to describe a/c if the surface crack length2c>2065l m. While for shot peening cases,equation f(x)describes the trend of crack aspect ratio when2c6289l m and equation g(x)is the appropriate one for cracks longer than289l m.Fig.19(a),(b),(c)and(d)illustrates the fatigue crack growth rates dc/dN(calculated by the secant method)for polished,ground,T0and T1notch samples plotted as a function of D K surface.The crack tip stress intensity factor in terms of D K surface and D K depth discussed in this study consider the evolution of crack aspect ratio, respectively.Again,all these data points in(a–d)are put together for comparison,as shown in Fig.19(e).Fig.19(f)shows the fatigue crack growth rates da/dN as a function of D K depth in these four con-ditions.Although these data are highly scattered,this exhibits typ-ical short fatigue crack behaviour.The dc/dN versus D K surface data gives a reasonable comparison of crack growth rates under similar externally imposed stress/strain states,ignoring any local effects of work hardening or compensating residual stresses.Short crack growth behaviour in both the polished and ground cases is similar. For the T0case,almost all the data points are well below those in polished and ground cases,which indicates the intrinsic benefit of shot peening,even when the varying evolution of crack aspect ratio10 B.Y.He et al./International Journal of Fatigue xxx(2015)xxx–xxx。

INTRODUCTIONwith the rapid development of our economy, electricity consumption is subsequently fast growth. Electric power resource has become shortage resources. How to energy consumption has become the hot topic research in recent years., the power of AE analysis is the possibility to directly observe the process of deterioration. For this reason, AE has the potential to provide critical information about the structural integrity. The AE technique offers a distinct advantage over conventional nondestructive testing techniques because it allows for the real time, in-situ monitoring of in-servicestructures.This paper describes the AE techniques applications in civil engineering. The main contents included are: Part .Review of AE technique. Part . Structure health monitoring system, including offshore platform, dam, masonry arch bridge, concrete structure, steel structure, etc. Part .Structural crack detection and monitoring, including concrete and steel structures. Part .Structure integrality detection and residuallife prediction. At last, Part .A prospect is made about the research direction in this field.II. REVIEW OF AE TECHNIQUEAcoustic emission (AE) is defined as the class of phenomena whereby transient elastic waves are generated by the rapid release of energy from localized sources within a material [1].In order to quantify the material behavior under this type of stress, the signals are processed to develop one or more of the following parameters [2]:Total counts (the number of threshold crossings above an arbitrary signal level are counted).Count rate (the number of threshold crossings above an arbitrary signal level per unit of time is measured).Events (the number of discrete signals above a specified threshold are counted; e. g., each of the traces of Fig. 1 would be considered single events); or event rate.Amplitude (the signal strength is measured); or amplitude distribution.In comparison with other non-destructive techniques, acoustic emission technique has two important advantages [3]: one is that AE technique can give valuable information what’s going on inside of the material, and the other one is that it gives a capability of on-line monitoring during in-service of structures or facilities. So, the AE technique has emerged as a powerful non-destructive tool to detect or evaluate damages and monitor in the field of safety of civil engineering structures.III. STRUCTURE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMUntil this time, AE technique has been applying in many fields, e.g., aircraft structure[4], offshore platform[5], pressure equipment[6], dam[7], concrete[8], steel[9], etc.AE technique was applied into civil engineering later compared with other fields, but developed rapidly. Structure health monitoring systembased Acoustic Emission (AE) Techniques on civil engineering structures developed fleetly during 1980s.Bassim, M. Nabil [10] (1985) invented and patented a new system for continuous monitoring of large structures using acoustic emission was. This system is based on a two-step approach and uses small size, low cost surveillance unitscontaining a microprocessor and which is software controlled to continuously monitor the structure and extract features of the acoustic emission activity.Rogers, L. M [5] (1987) gives results of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of structures to provide information on integrity and fitness for purpose. Applications both locally to monitor known defects or weld repairs in areas of hot spot stress and globally, in search of the most severe defects present in large areas of the structure are considered. By studying AE during the fatigue testing of full scale tubular elements under controlled laboratory conditions it has been possible to define levels of acoustic emission activity by which the severity of defects in normally inaccessible areas can be determined, e. g. in the sub sea node joints of offshore structures.With the high associated costs of commercial AE systems, AE techniques were limited wider exploitation of in the field of structural monitoring. In 2003, Holroyd.T.J and his partners [11] had explored whether simpler solutions might be usefully applied to the field of structural health monitoring. They developed an AE system that makes additional information readily accessible to civil and structural engineers. Figure 1 shows the prototype system that they had developed is comprised of a combination of three elements; AE sensors, mufti channel measurement nodes and a controller module.Various rig and field tests have provided evidence that when productionised it will successfully combine sensitive detection flexibility and autonomous operation.IV. STRUCTURAL FATIGUE CRACK DETECTION ANDMONITORINGNowadays, concrete and steel are widely used structural material for civil structures. The development of non-destructive techniques to evaluate deterioration of concrete and steel structures is one of the most important issues for an effective maintenance. Especially, structural fatigue crack that occurs under long-term service diction and monitoring is very concernful technology in this field. Figure 2shows the schematic diagram of the Fatigue-cracking specimen with transducers mounted.Before 1970, several previous studies about structural fatigue crack detection and monitoring based AE technique had been developed [13], [14].In 1971, NAKAMURA.Y [15] expatiated that an acoustic emission monitoring system designed to detect, in real time, initiation and growth of cracksin a complex structure during static as well as fatigue testing has been developed. The system is being used successfully in static and fatigue testing of full- scale, as well as small-scale specimens of aircraft components and structures. Then, in 1989 Bowles, S.J. [16] studied how to discriminate between AE due to different sources, and the activity in each zone was analyzed in terms of its load-cycle dependence. Wang, Z.F. et al. [17] (1992) investigated the relation between AE characteristics and fatigue crack closure, and tries to find a new way of monitoring crack closure. Results showed that AE monitoring can be used to determine fatigue crack closure very accurately and conveniently.To achieve the practical monitoring of AE signals from fatigue cracks with effective noise filtering, several new researches have been developing. Neural networks were used for detection of crack growth and estimation of crack depth. [18]. Laser based ultrasonic (LBU) technique had been developed to characterize materials properties and detect flaws in materials [19].V. STRUCTURE INTEGRALITY DETECTION AND RESIDUAL LIFE PREDICTIONThe modern structures mostly receives circulation load more or less, but from this the fatigue damageaccumulation which causes the main reason which the structure finally expires. Therefore, it is very significative to carry on fatigue damage degree and residual life prediction accurately and effectively for structures.In 1983, Simons, Fuller, Michael.D.et el. [20] firstly used the AE technique for the Offshore platform integrity.Rogers L. M [21] (1987) given the results of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of structures to provide information on integrity and fitness for purpose. By studying AE during the fatigue testing of full scale tubular weldments under controlled laboratory conditions it has been possible to define levels of acoustic emission activity by which the severity of defects in normally inaccessible areas can be determined, e. g. in the sub sea node joints of offshore structures.As practical illustrations, in 1991 Royles.R [22] used the AE technique in the testing of masonry arch bridges. Theimplications for the use of an acoustic signature in the integrity assessment of masonry arch bridges were considered.Colombo, S. et al[23](2003) presented the description and results of an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring exercise on concrete bridge beams in situ, as part of a larger project aimed to develop an Advice Note on the use of AE to evaluate the structural conditions of concrete bridges. From the results one is able to distinguish between the different structural behaviors of the beams - thus showing that the AE method is a promising way to evaluate the condition of an in-situ structure.Up to the minute, Carpinteri.A.et al. [24] (2007) used AE technique to identify defects and damage in reinforced concrete structures and masonry buildings. In addition, based on fracture mechanics concepts, a fractal or multiscale methodology is proposed to predict the damage evolution and the time to structural collapse.VI. THE PROSPECT OF AE TECHNIQUEThe predominance of the AE technique is obvious and affirmative, but at present the disadvantage of AE is also incontestable. First, AE signals are usually very weak; thereby background and extraneous-noise rejection is extremely important in the practical application. Thus, signal discrimination and noise reduction are very difficult, yet extremely important for successful AE applications. Second, a perfect and effective data analysis method that tends to reject noise from testing sources is still nonexistent. Third, the higher precise data gathering system is still expectant in the future. Thus, the technique which devotes to solve the above-mentioned problems becomes the hotspots in this field, and can sum up to the following several aspects:-New type AE sensors, include: low-profile fiber optic-based AE sensor [25], fiber-optic sensor based Doppler Effect in a curved light waveguide, [26], wireless AE sensor [27]-New data gathering systems include: advanced acoustic emission system with accurate source location [28], AE measurement system with laser interferometer [29].-New data analysis methods, include: neural networks [30, 31], wavelet analysis [32], [33] VII. CONCLUSIONNon Destructive Testing and Health Monitoring on civil engineering structures based Acoustic emission (AE) techniques have been brief summary. Indubitably, Acoustic emission techniques can play a significant role for the detection and monitoring of civil engineering structures since they are able to reveal hidden defects leading to structural failures long before a collapse occurs. However, currently most of the existing AE data analysis techniques which include AE sensors, data gathering systems and data analysis methods seem not be appropriate for the requirements of an accurate and effective AE system. Further developments based on this field will bring AE techniques into greater far-ranging applications and make this technology more perfect in the future.VIII.

All rights reserved.1.IntroductionFatigue life is an important specification in the design of com-ponents subject to constant or variable amplitude loads.The basic mechanism of a fatigue failure is that a slowly spreading crack extends with each cycle of the applied mechanical load.Practi-cally tensile stress is responsible for nucleating and propagating the crack across a certain component,while a compressive stress will only close the crack and cause no damage [1].One effective way to extend the fatigue life of components is to reduce or elimi-nate the tensile stresses by inducing a constant compressive stress in the surface of the components.Shot peening is widely used as a method to create such compressive stress field in the surface layers of machine parts [2].Shot impacts result in local plastic deforma-tions on the surface.Since the plastically stretched surface layer tends to expand and the adjacent elastically responding material in vicinity and below the impact location restrains the expansion,a compressive residual stress field is formed in the near surface lay-ers [3].Compressive residual stress close to the surface of material may prolong fatigue life by decelerating the initiation and growth phases of the fatigue process [4–7].In damage tolerant design the durability of the fatigue crack growth is a major concern.The process of shot peening affects the initiation of small cracks and the growth of cracks near surfaces.Because the compressive residual stress layer is very thin it is very∗Corresponding author.Fax:+861068913041.E-mail address:liujx@ (J.Liu).challenging to experimentally quantify the interaction between the residual stress field and the fatigue crack development.Even in conventional FEM computations the effects of the residual stresses cannot be considered.On the other hand,the quantitative relation between the residual stress state and the crack growth is of great significance in component design optimization.In this paper,the cohesive zone model (CZM)is used to simulate the crack growth of shot-peened specimens.The parameters of CZM are identified using Paris’law in common cracked specimens and are directly applied to 2D shot-peened specimens.Fatigue crack growth and residual stress relaxation of shot-peened specimens have been studied for different load amplitudes and different shot peening intensities.The main purpose of the study is to examine the role of residual stress on fatigue crack initiation and growth.2.Cohesive zone model and parameter identificationDuring crack propagation,a fracture process zone exists in front of the crack tip where micro-voids initiate,grow,and finally coa-lesce with the main crack.In the fracture process zone,material degradation is obvious.The conventional elastic–plastic consti-tutive relation used in bulk material is not suitable for the local material degraded region.To consider the material degradation in the fracture process zone,one simple way is to use the cohesive zone model.The fundamental idea behind the cohesive zone model can be traced back to the strip yield models of Dugdale [8]and Baren-blatt [9].In this way,the unrealistic continuum mechanics stress singularity at the crack tip could be avoided.Contrary to the0921-5093/$–see front matter © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.msea.2010.05.080J.Liu et al./Materials Science and Engineering A 527 (2010) 5962–59685963standard concept in continuum mechanics,the cohesive zone model allows for a displacement jump inside material and for the separation of material surfaces which finally leads to the failure of the material.No continuum elements are involved in the cohe-sive zone.Cohesive interfaces or elements are defined between the continuum elements instead,which open when damage occurs and loose their stiffness at failure so that the continuum elements are disconnected.In a cohesive zone model,the fracture process zone is treated with its own constitutive relationship in form of the traction–separation law (TSL).Since the cohesive zone model is a phenomenological model there is no direct evidence for formu-lation of the traction–separation law.The fracture behavior of a cracked specimen is mainly determined by the energy release rate and the effect of the TSL form is secondary.We take the popular law suggested by Needleman [10]asT n = max eıı0exp−ıı0,(1)where T n and ıare the normal traction and normal separation,respectively.The model parameters are the cohesive strength, max ,and the cohesive length,ı0,i.e.where the traction reaches a peak value, max .Under monotonic load conditions max and ı0are supposed to be material parameters.The area under the T n –ıcurve is called the separation energy, ,which is defined as=∞T n d ı= max ı0e.(2)The cohesive zone model has been extensively used for anal-ysis of fracture under monotonic load cases [10–14].The results seem to confirm the cohesive zone model,even though the present applications of cohesive models are still far away from practical engineering employment in structural integrity assessments [15].The application of cohesive zone model for fatigue cracking is,however,still at initial stage.The general treatments of the cohesive zone model for fatigue analysis is to introduce additional parame-ters to describe the degradation of material.The main difficulty is constructing a realistic damage evolution equation for the damage variable.In the model suggested by Siegmund et al.[16,17]a damage variable,D ,is introduced for cyclic load and is described by D =| ı|ıT nmax − f max ,0H (ıC −ı0),(3)where D is the damage increment, ıis the separation incre-ment,ıC is the accumulated separation,H stands for Heavisidefunction.Two additional parameters are introduced in the dam-age evolution Eq.(3):the cohesive endurance limit, f ,and the accumulated cohesive length,ı .Because the material damage is irreversible,the damage increment should not be less than zero.The incremental damage, D ,is proportional to the normalized incre-mental separation,| ı|/ı ,and weighted by a measure of current traction reduced by the endurance limit.The current value of the damage,D ,is then used to calculate the current cohesive strength, max ,asmax =(1−D ) max ,0.(4)In the above equation max,0denotes the initial cohesive strength.Obviously,the cohesive strength decreases with the dam-age indicator,D ,which represents the material degradation.The TSL,taking into account the damage accumulation under cyclic load,is given by substituting the current cohesive strength, max ,into Eq.(1).The definition of unloading/reloading path is indispensable for cyclic cohesive zone model.The unloading/reloading path intheFig.1.The traction–separation relationship for the cohesive zone model under sim-ple and cyclic load condition.present investigation follows a linear relationship with a slope equal to that of the current traction–separation curve at zero sep-aration.The value of current unloading/reloading stiffness is given by k n =max eı0.(5)The traction and separation relationships for monotonic and cyclic loads are depicted in Fig.1.Since max decreases with cycling,k n is not a constant even within one loading step.The cohesive zone model presented above has been imple-mented into the commercial finite element code ABAQUS [18]via the interface UINTER.For the mode I problems the crack propa-gates along the symmetric plane where the cohesive zone can be assumed.The cohesive model with the modification for fatigue is used in the computations for 2D crack growth.In the cyclic cohesive zone model,there are four parameters,i.e.the initial cohesive strength max,0,the cohesive length ı0,the cohesive endurance limit f and the accumulated cohesive length ı .In general,the first two parameters are determined by the fracture energy under monotonic load condition [13,14].For sim-plification,in this study they are assumed to be material parameters and constant through the whole specimen.The small variations due to constraint effects are neglected [19].The void growth and nucleation process,which is the physical phenomenon behind the cohesive zone model,in the specimens under nominal plane strain condition,a rather highly constrained state,are generally characterized by values of max,0between 3and 4times of material yield stress y [20].For thin sheet,a plane stress case,the cohesive strength max,0at the crack tip is approximately 2 y [21,13].Based on previous studies,the value of the cohesive strength max,0is taken to be 3 y for all computa-tions.For the crack initiation under small scale yielding,the mode I cohesive energy can be identified with the value of the J -integralat crack initiation, =J IC .With J IC =(1− 2)K 2IC/E and Eq.(2),the value of cohesive length ı0is determined.For Inconel 718alloy[22],taking the crack initiation value of K IC =120MPa √m and yield stress value of y =710MPa under room temperature,the cohesive strength max,0and cohesive length ı0are 2130MPa and 0.0055mm,respectively.To understand the interactions between crack growth and f as well as ı ,we have conducted several 2D simulations on compact tension specimens,which is in the square geometry of size 250mm with an initial crack of 100mm.For the mode I problem,the crack is constrained to grow along the symmetrical plane of the specimen.Due to symmetry,only half of the specimen has to be modeled.The constitutive relation

relation using the Mises yield criterion.Crack growth in the 2D specimen versus load cycles is shown in Fig.2under stress controlled loading condition with loading ratio R =0.The stress intensity factor range K is used to serve as an indi-cator of load intensity.In present work the stress intensity factor,K ,is calculated from the J -integral by K =JE/(1− 2).It should be carefully noted that as the amplitude of the load is held constant, K gradually creeps up as a result of the steady increase in crack length.However,when crack growth is relatively small compared with the initial crack length,the change of K is negligible.For all load cases,the crack growth speed increases after crack initia-tion and becomes stationary rapidly.Due to mesh limits,we cannot simulate larger crack growth amount.From the figures we obtain two features which have been confirmed in experiments:(1)The crack initiation is sensitive to the load amplitudes.The initiation time decreases nonproportionally as load amplitude increases.(2)After initiation the crack grows linearly with the load cycles,i.e.the crack growth rate becomes constant for small amount of crack growth.Based on the

prediction together.For tested material,the heat treatment is water quenching from 960◦C fol-lowed by tempering in 718◦C for 8h.Crack propagation test was done in room temperature and stress ratio is

max,0.The predicted line is in a good agreement with experimental data and has approximately the same slope.This comparison demonstrates that the cohesive zone model is capable of matching long-crack constant amplitude fatigue data at least as well as Paris’law.3.2D simulations of fatigue crack propagationIn shot peening life assessment,influence of the specimen sur-face damage will not be considered explicitly.This means,the fatigue prediction can be performed just based on the stress and strain states.The fatigue life variations are induced by the local residual stress.In the study,no other effects of shot peening are considered,as in most other works.With the help of ABAQUS subroutine SIGINI [18],two intensities of shot peening,0.12and 0.25mmA,are used.The experimental data have been taken from the papers by Hessert et al.[24]for 0.12mmA and by Hoffmeis-ter et al.[25]for 0.25mmA.The residual stress of 0.12mmA is not generated by shot peening but by ultrasonic peening.Since no other effects but only residual stress is considered in the study,ultrasonic peening,in a sense,has no difference with shot peening.The residual stresses of two shot peening intensities are shown in Fig.4.The main differences between the two residual stress profiles are the depth of compressive zone and the maximum compressive stress.The stronger peening intensity leads to the greater depth of compressive zone and the greater value of maximum compressive stress.For comparison,two cyclic load amplitudes are considered for each shot peening intensity.One half of a square plate with a single-edge-crack is modeled utilizing its geometrical symmetry.The two-dimensional FE model is shown in Fig.5.The bottom plot shows the initial mesh and the top plot zooms in to show the tip region.The plane strain element with 4nodes is used for continuum elements.Since the surface layer affected by the shot peening process is very thin and the stress gra-dient in this layer is very high,extremely fine elements are needed for not only the crack area but also the whole affected layer.There-fore,only a very small specimen can be modeled in order to keep the total number of nodes within acceptable bounds.The specimen is 2.5mm long and 1.25mm wide.As shown in the figure,the ele-ments in the shot peening affected layer are 0.004mm in the depth direction (x direction).The initial crack is 0.012mm,i.e.three ele-ments,and the potential fracture surface is assumed to be 0.6mm.The symmetric line is y =0,and the initial crack is from x =0on the symmetric line.The boundary and loading conditions are as in the preceding section for all of following computations.J.Liu et al./Materials Science and Engineering A 527 (2010) 5962–59685965Fig.5.The two-dimensional FEM model with initial crack length of 0.012mm (upper:near-tip detail,lower:overallview).Fig.6.The crack growth with the number of load cycles under different loading forces for unpeened specimen.The crack tip position is measured from free surface.Fatigue crack growth for unpeened specimen is also studied.Crack growth vs.load cycles for specimen without shot peening effect is shown in Fig.6.For both load cases,the crack growth speed increases after crack initiation and becomes steady rapidly.The numerically predicted crack growth for shot-peened mate-rial reveals that fatigue crack growth may not only start from the pre-existing initial crack tip as in the case of unpeened specimen,but also start from the position deeper than the initial crack tip,as shown in Fig.7.The conventional definition of the cracklengthFig.7.Scheme showing the fatigue crack growth for shot-peenedmaterial.Fig.8.The crack growth with the number of load cycles under different loading forces.Shot peening intensity is 0.12mmA.measured from initial crack tip is no longer suitable in the shot peening case.Here,the crack tip position measured from free sur-face is used for describing the fatigue crack growth of shot-peened material.Crack growth vs.load cycles in a specimen with 0.12mmA shot peening is depicted in Fig.8. K ,based on calculation of speci-men without shot peening but under the same load,is used as an indicator of the loading intensity for shot peening par-ing the figures,it can be found,besides that shot peening greatly retards the crack initiation for both load intensities,the location where the crack growth starts is also changed by shot peening.For the 0.12mmA shot peening intensity,the crack growth starts at the position that is 0.15mm away from the initial pre-existing crack tip.This position is where the initial residual stress reaches its maximum positive value while the initial existing crack is within compressive stress zone.Once a crack initiates,it grows in two directions,i.e.toward the center of the specimen and toward the surface of the specimen.The crack growth speed toward the cen-ter is a little faster than that in the unpeened specimen.However,the crack growth speed toward the surface is much slower than that in the unpeened specimen because this area has the strong compressive residual stress.After a certain load cycles,besides the two newly formed crack tips,the crack also begins to grow from the initial crack tip.Thus,in specimen the crack growth occurs on three crack tips simultaneously.The crack growth in the compres-sive stress zone is very slow.The last cracking position in this zone is where the residual stress reaches its maximum negative value.The results indicate that the tensile residual stress can accelerate crack growth.Thus,the overall effect of shot peening seems to acceler-ate crack growth in two-dimensional case once the crack begins to grow,even though the compressive residual stress will decelerate crack growth.For the two load intensities shown in the figure,the characteristics of the crack initiation and growth are the same.Fig.9presents crack growth vs.load cycles in the specimen with the 0.25mmA shot peening.The 0.25mmA shot peening delays the crack initiation more than the 0.12mmA shot peening pared with the 0.12mmA shot peening,the position where crack growth starts is not 0.15mm but 0.3mm away from initial pre-existing crack tip,which corresponds to the maximum tensile stress area of the 0.25mmA shot peening.The reason for the differ-ences of crack growth is that the 0.25mmA shot peening creates a deeper compressive zone and larger maximum compressive resid-ual stress.Except for above mentioned differences,the shapes of the curves are basically the same for both shot peening intensities.In general,introduction of residual stress through shot peening is intended to extend fatigue life via the delay of crack initiation.Fig.10summarizes the effect of shot peening on the delay of crack5966J.Liu et al./Materials Science and Engineering A527 (2010) 5962–5968Fig.9.The crack growth with the number of load cycles under different loading forces.Shot peening intensity is 0.25mmA.initiation,although the positions of crack initiation can be different.For all cases,i.e.unpeened,0.12and 0.25mmA shot peening,with increasing load intensity,the number of load cycles to crack initi-ation decreases nonlinearly.Shot peening increases the number of load cycles to crack initiation when specimens are exposed to the same load intensities.The delay of crack initiation caused by shot peening is much longer at lower load than that at higher load.In addition,higher shot peening intensity results in a larger number of load cycles for crack initiation.4.Relaxation of residual stressThe residual stress,caused by shot peening,can be relaxed by cyclic loads.For specimens without initial cracks,the stress relaxation has been extensively studied.For specimens with initial cracks,the interaction between a growing fatigue crack and resid-ual stress field is not well understood.The lack of understanding has sometimes led to confusions and possibly inaccurate methods being employed in fatigue life prediction.In the study of the two-dimensional case,the initial crack is in the area with initial compressive stress and far away from the ini-tial tensile stress.Fig.11shows the relaxation of residual stress before the crack starts to propagate.The computational condition is that the shot peening intensity is 0.12mmA and the load intensityis 34.3MPa √m.As load cycle increases,the relaxation of residual stress is increased even without crack growth.At the same time,the cyclic load introduces a little compressive stress inside the specimen in areas where they previously do not exist.ThestressFig.10.The effect of shot peening on the number of load cycles to start crack growth in 2Dcomputations.Fig.11.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic load before crack initiation.Shot peening intensity is 0.12mmA,and load is K =34.3MPa √m.relaxation is not linear with load cycles.In the figure,the increment of loading cycles for every curve is 100load cycles.It can be seen that the stress relaxation in the first 100load cycles is much larger than that in the following cycles until 400load cycles.In fact,the stress relaxation in this stage is mainly caused by the redistribution of the residual stress under the first load cycle.After the first loading cycle,the residual stress is relatively stable due to relatively small damage accumulation and small change in stiffness of the cohe-sive zone until a certain load cycles,here,400load cycles.Beyond 400load cycles,the damage accumulation becomes larger and thus results in the decreases of stiffness of the cohesive zone,and load-bearing capacity.Consequently,a large relaxation of residual stress can be observed after 400load cycles.Because the damage accumu-lation is in an accelerated relation with the increasing of load cycles,the relaxation of residual stress becomes faster and faster.With load cycle increasing,the separation of potential fracture surfaces,i.e.cohesive zone,is increasing once damage begins to accumu-late.The increasing separation in fact weakens the crack closure effect in the initial crack area caused by the compressive residual stress.When the crack closure effect finally vanishes,the resid-ual stress in initial crack area disappears totally.Under the same computational condition,the relaxation of residual stress after the crack growing is given in Fig.12.It can be seen in the figure that during the crack growth the residual stress in newly cracked area vanishes eventually.Meanwhile,in order to keep in stress equi-librium,the compressive residual stress increases in areas where crack propagation has not reached yet.After a certain load cycle,the compressive residual stress will stop increasing and begins to decrease due to weakened stiffness in its correspondingcohesiveFig.12.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic load after crack initiation.Shotpeening intensity is 0.12mmA,and load is K =34.3MPa √m.J.Liu et al./Materials Science and Engineering A 527 (2010) 5962–59685967Fig.13.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic

fracture surface.Figs.13and 14show the relaxation of residual stress before and after the crack growth.The shot peening intensity is the same as in Figs.11and 12,but the load intensity has a larger value of37.7MPa √paring the results of the two load intensities,it is observed that higher load intensity leads to larger relaxation of residual stress for the same load cycles.Consequently,higher load intensity reduces the number of load cycles to eliminate the resid-ual stress in the initial crack area.Except for this difference,the stress relaxations,before and after the crack growth,have the same trends for both load intensities.The relaxation of residual stress,for the studied case of 0.25mmA shot peening intensity and 34.3MPa √m load amplitude,is plotted in Figs.15and 16,before and after the crack growth,respec-tively.It can be seen from the figures that,similar to the 0.12mmA shot peening intensity,the stress relaxation in the first 100cycles is much larger than that in the following cycle increment before crack begins to propagate.Different from the 0.12mmA shot peen-ing intensity,however,the residual stress in the initial crack area does not release totally before crack begins to propagate for the 0.25mmA shot peening intensity.The reason is that the crack closure effect of the residual stress for 0.25mmA shot peening intensity is stronger than the 0.12mmA shot peening intensity andcan not be overcome under 34.3MPa √m load intensity.The stress relaxation behavior after crack begins to propagate,has the same characteristics for 0.25and 0.12mmA shot peening intensities.Figs.17and 18show the relaxation of residual stress under thecondition of the 0.25mmA shot peening intensity and 37.7MPa √mFig.14.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic load after crack initiation.Shotpeening intensity is 0.12mmA,and load is K =37.7MPa √m.Fig.15.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic load before crack initiation.Shot peening intensity is 0.25mmA,and

crack growth,respectively.The trends of the stress relaxation are observed to be the same as the 0.12mmA shot peening intensity,both before and after crack growth.The residual stress in the initial crack area releases completely before crack begins to grow.This means whether the residual stress will release totally in the initial crack area before crack growth depends not only on the shot peening intensity but also on the load amplitude.Furthermore,the residual stress releases to zero on newly formed surface for all cases,and this is independent of the shot peening intensity and loadingampli-Fig.17.Redistribution of residual stress under cyclic load before crack initiation.Shot peening intensity is 0.25mmA,and load is K =37.7MPa √m.5968J.Liu et al./Materials Science and

that the material ahead of the crack tip is not described by conventional elastic–plastic constitutive rela-tion but traction–separation equation of cohesive zone model.The response of material closely adjacent to cohesive zone is also strongly affected by the properties of cohesive zone.The results of residual stress relaxation are very sensitive to cohesive zone model.It is not easy to quantitatively give the influence of plasticity on the residual stress state.5.ConclusionsThe application of the cohesive zone model in the study pro-vides a detailed understanding of the fatigue crack growth in shot-peened specimens.This model provides a reasonable crack initiation and propagation in 2D simulation.The current investigation predicts that the crack initiation posi-tion and time depend not only on shot peening intensity but also on cyclic load amplitude.The crack can be started from the position deeper than the initial crack tip for shot-peened specimen,as pre-dicted by the computations.Retardation of fatigue crack growth is more remarkable for higher shot peening intensity.The relaxation of residual stress is increased with increasing load cycles,even without crack growing.The stress relaxation isnot linear with load rger residual stress relaxation can be observed before and when crack begins to propagate.Gener-ally speaking,the residual stress relaxation is induced by material damage in the crack growth direction which is modeled by the cohesive zone model.Cyclic loads lead to decrease of cohesive zone stiffness.And when crack grows,restrain condition for residual stress is changed.These two factors result in redistribution and relaxation of residual stress.The relaxation of residual stress is a natural consequence of cohesive zone stiffness decrease and crack propagation.References[1]H.Guechichi,L.Castex,J.Mater.Process.Technol.172(2006)381–387.[2]M.Kobayashi,T.Matsui,Y.Murakami,Int.J.Fatigue
