Probabilistic fatigue life prediction using an equivalent initial flaw size distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology is proposed to calculate the equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) distribution, which is based on the Kitagawa-Takahashi diagram.

Very high cycle fatigue – Is there a fatigue limit?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview of the present state of research on fatigue strength and failure mechanisms at very high number of cycles (N f ǫ>10 7 ). Testing facilities are listed.

High- and very high-cycle plain fatigue resistance of shot peened high-strength aluminum alloys: The role of surface morphology

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of shot peening on the high and very high cycle plain fatigue resistance of the Al-7075-T651 alloy was investigated by measuring with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique the residual stress profile before and at the end of the fatigue tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity of damage evolution during cyclic loading at very high numbers of cycles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on dislocation arrangement, grain orientation, grain size and surface roughening and their implications on the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior for selected virtually defect free alloys.

There is no infinite fatigue life in metallic materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the S-N curve beyond 10 7 cycles is unknown except in some statistical approaches, and this is also true for the fatigue limit, and the standard deviation applied to the average fatigue limit is certainly not the best way to reduce the risk of rupture in fatigue.

Effect of inclusion on subsurface crack initiation and gigacycle fatigue strength

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of inclusions on crack initiation and propagation in gigacycle fatigue was investigated experimentally and analytically in six high strength low alloy steels.

Gigacycle fatigue of ferrous alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the very long fatigue life of ferrous alloys up to 1 x 10 10 cycles at an ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz, and a good agreement was found with the results from conventional tests at a frequency of 25 Hz by Renault between 10 5 and 10 7 cycles for a spheroidal graphite cast iron.
