When a component is subjected to an excitation that has a nonzero mean, this mean value could have a noteworthy effect on the stresses and thus on the fatigue life of the component. In fatigue calculations, mean stress effect can be taken into consideration rather easily but experimental verification is troublesome since with traditional testing equipment like vibration shakers, any mean value of an acceleration excitation other than 1g in the direction of gravity is difficult to simulate. In this study, a method is proposed to create a modified input loading history with a zero mean which causes fatigue damage approximately equivalent to that created by input loading with a nonzero mean. For this purpose, a mathematical procedure is developed to apply three dimensional mean stress correction to the output stress power spectral density data. A modified input acceleration power spectral density is generated by means of transfer functions calculated via frequency response analysis. In the implementation of the developed method, a plate subjected to base excitation is considered. The base excitation leads to a fully three dimensional multiaxial state of stress in the plate. It is shown that the developed method is useful in creating a modified input acceleration data with a zero mean that can simulate damage for a selected point in the structure under consideration. Equivalent input loading obtained by means of the aforementioned method is convenient for experimental applications. Besides being a time saving method, it is suitable to be implemented for any type of loading.

Investigating the Relationship between Shot-Peening Severity and Fatigue Life of AISI 4140 Steel by Magnetic Barkhausen Method
Çalışkan, Salim; Gür, Cemil Hakan (null; 2018-06-15)
Shot peening process results in compressive residual stresses on the surface which improves the fatigue performance of the components. Fatigue life of several aircraft parts is improved by shot peening. Thus, development of easy, rapid and reliable non-destructive methods for estimation of residual stress, and thus fatigue performance of the components will be very useful for aircraft industry. Recently the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) method has gained importance for non-destructive characterization of ...
The Nonlinear Theory of the Snoek Relaxation Effect under the Strong and Homogeneous Bias Stress System
Ogurtani, Tarik Ömer (Wiley, 1987-11-1)
The nonlinear theory of energy dissipation associated with the mobile paraelastic octahedral interstitial atoms in inhomogeneous interaction fields is applied to the specific problem of the ordinary Snoek relaxation under the influence of the uniform static stress system (an external bias field). In the case of a uniaxial static bias stress system, an extremely accurate and simple analytical expression is deduced for the logarithmic decrement which indicates strong dependence on the magnitude, sign, and dir...
Calculation of the Raman frequency and the damping constant of a coupled mode in the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases in KH(2)PO(4)
KARACALİ, HUSEYİN; Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Wiley, 2010-04-01)
The Raman frequency of the coupled mode omega_ associated with the order parameter is calculated as a function of pressure from the mean field theory in the ferroelecric phase of KDP. Using the frequencies of the coupled mode, the pressure dependence of the damping constant Gamma_ is calculated by the proton spin lattice relaxation time and by the energy fluctuation of this mode of KDP in the ferroelectric (FE) phase. For the paraelectric (PE) phase, the Raman frequency of the coupled mode omega is calculat...
On the Attenuation of the Perfectly Matched Layer in Electromagnetic Scattering Problems with the Spectral Element Method
Mahariq, I.; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Tarman, Işık Hakan (2014-09-01)
Although Spectral Element Method (SEM) has been applied in the modeling of boundary value problems of electromagnetics, its usage is not as common as the Finite Element or Finite Difference approaches in this area. It is well-known that the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) approach is a mesh/grid truncation method in scattering or radiation applications where the spatial domain is unbounded. In this paper, the PML approach in the SEM context is investigated in two-dimensional, frequency-domain scattering probl...
On the wake pattern of symmetric airfoils for different incidence angles at Re=1000
Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (SAGE Publications, 2016-06-01)
In the current study, numerical simulations are performed in order to investigate effects of incidence angle and airfoil thickness on alternating vortex pattern of symmetric airfoils at Re = 1000. This alternating vortex pattern is found to be significantly varying in shape as the incidence angle increases. The results are obtained with 1 degrees increment from 0 degrees to 41 degrees and then with 10 degrees increment from 40 degrees until 180 degrees. The instantaneous and mean vortex patterns are investi...
