In engineering applications, fatigue phenomenon is a key issue and needs to be analyzed in the beginning of design phase in case of any component exposed to alternating loading on operation otherwise catastrophic fatigue failure may cause. Component can be designed with safe life, fail-safe, and damage tolerant approach based on whether redundant load path and damage sensitive. Before starting analyzing the structure, material allowable data needs to be presented in a reliable way to predict fatigue life of components. SN curves with presented confidence levels are the robust approach to make a prediction on safe life of a structure in terms of fatigue. In this point, there are so many approaches to determine fatigue limit of materials and issue shall be handled by statistical manner. In literature, different staircase and curve fitting methods were presented to estimate endurance limit of materials and some reliability manuscript published. In this paper, fatigue limit of AISI 4340 steel will be investigated through most convinced staircase and curve fitting approaches and their reliability will be queried.

INVESTIGATION OF FATIGUE CRACK BEHAVIOR ON NEAR THRESHOLD REGION OF AISI 4340 STEELS FOR DIFFERENT HEAT TREATMENT CONDITIONS
Çalışkan, Salim; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2023-1-27)
Damage tolerant approach is an important phenomenon in engineering practice and must be evaluated at the onset of the design stage for components that are subject to cyclic loading during functioning; if not, devastating fatigue failure may occur. Inaccurate assessments in allowable fatigue data can cause substantial variation in fatigue limit evaluation for components with small crack size. Determining long crack threshold value as a design criterion is not a new research topic; even so, some anomalies ari...
Implementation of Dirlik’s damage model for the vibration fatigue analysis
Demirel, Gürzap İ.; Kayran, Altan (2019)
Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. In this paper, random vibration fatigue is studied both numerically and experimentally. For this purpose, a rectangular cross-section notched beam is designed in order to conduct the vibration fatigue analysis in the frequency domain by the Dirlik's damage model. Aluminum and steel notched beams are prepared in orde...
Analysis of the thermoviscoplastic behavior of [0/90] SCS-6/timetal®21S composites
Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (1996-01-01)
Micromechanical modeling is used to determine the stresses and strains due to both mechanical and thermal loads in [0/90] titanium matrix composites (TMCs) subjected to cooldown from the processing temperature and subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading conditions. The [0/90] composite is treated as a material system composed of three constituents: fiber and matrix in the [0] ply, and a [90] ply. The [0/90]s layup is modeled by a uniaxial stress rule of mixtures model for the [0] ply and adding a ...
Vibration fatigue analysis and testing of notched beams
Demirel, Gürzap İsmail; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. Even if the components are stable and durable for static requirements, vibration fatigue failures can occur due to the dynamic and fluctuating loadings. Moreover, if the loading frequency has a wide bandwidth as in random vibration loadings, the natural frequencies or resonance regions of the structures are disturbe...
Fatigue behavior of welded API 5L X70 pipeline steel
Turhan, Şermin Özlem; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
In this study, fatigue failure behavior of welded X70 pipeline steel was investigated by rotating bar bending fatigue tests performed at room temperature. S-N curves of base metal, weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ) were plotted. Tension tests, hardness measurements and Charpy V notched impact tests were carried out for mechanical characterization. Microstructural examination was conducted by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fracture surfaces were examined with SEM. In addition to f...
