This paper discusses an effect of 280,000 h of exploitation under internal pressure of 2.9 MPa and high temperature of 540 °C on the mechanical properties of 10CrMo9-10 (10H2M) power engineering steel. The mechanical response of the specimens obtained from two pipes: a new in the as-received state and exploited for a long period was assessed through the uniaxial tensile tests and subsequent fatigue tests. The long-term, high-temperature exposure of 10H2M steel resulted in the deterioration of its mechanical properties and was quantitatively described as a function of the fatigue damage measure, φ, and the fatigue damage parameter D. Finally, the proposed methodology of power exponent approximation with both damage sensitive parameters (φ, D) enabled for successful determination of the 10H2M steel fatigue life.

In the paper the calculation of ultrasonic field generated by the transmitting transducer and the pulse-echo amplitude received after beam reflection at the defect in tested material is presented. The focus of the authors is directed on the specific transducer – defect configurations where the common methods of determination of ultrasonic beam trajectory fails. The developed analytical model is based on well-established principles of elastodynamic theory and forms the basis for computer program for simulation of ultrasonic examination of railway rails.
The aim of the article is to present and validate a methodology for collecting road load data on a vehicle, driving on roads and analysis of a drive data signal under the wheel in the time domain, using FRF (Frequency Response Function) and the MTS 320 eight-poster inertia reacted road simulator. The elaborated drive data, was used to control the actuators forcing the movements of the wheels and the coupling part of the semi-trailer during durability tests. The road tests were carried out by registering physical variables in the time domain, by a set of sensors mounted on a vehicle. The data was collected from roads categorized as motorways, national and local roads. Differences between the variability of the parameters, collected on the roads and the variability of the drive data under the wheel, were determined for the particular types of roads, for loaded and unloaded vehicle. The obtained accuracy of reconstruction of the road load data conditions was as high as 97%. Therefore, the proposed method is suitable for reliable durability tests with use of the road simulator.
From information obtained from periodic surveys of cages used in the shaft of one of the Polish mines, it appears that the majority of registered damages of their supporting elements are fatigue cracks. These cracks are formed and develop mainly in main nodes or welds in the areas of their connection with the construction of the cage. In order to eliminate the causes of these damages and to increase the durability of cages, it will probably be necessary to reconstruct those fragments of the cages in which they occur. In order to determine loadings of load-bearing elements and the state of stress that arises in them during the operation of the device, a numerical model of the cage was developed. The results of the calculations made as well as their analysis form the basis for the assessment of the strength and durability of the load-bearing elements of the discussed cage. The key problem determining the durability of the structure – as shown by the analyzes carried out – is the method of constructing the connection of the strings with the appropriate elements of the cage. Changing this state requires significant structural changes of these nodes, which the authors of this study pointed out.
Historical operational usage data give a ground for fatigue damage estimation. Quality of sensors and recorders two or more decades ago were lower then modern one. Lack of resolution in nz-level measurement and recording leads to some errors in fatigue damage calculations. In this paper author propose a method to improve the accuracy of fatigue damage calculations for archived data. The method takes advantage of typical distribution of accumulated cycles for aircrafts. Small correction in representative nz value taken in calculations can reduce the error in fatigue damage assessment.
The article presents an analysis of the change in air voids in asphalt mixtures subjected to fatigue tests at three temperatures of 0°C, 10°C and 25°C. The X-ray computerized tomography imaging method, XCT, was used to identify the air voids in the samples. The research allowed to determine changes in the content of air voids in subsequent fatigue cycles in the sample area. The relationship between air voids volume and the stiffness modulus value was also determined during fatigue for three temperatures. The largest changes were found in samples with notches at 0°C. The analysis of the change in the content of air voids showed that the micro-cracking nucleation processes develop with the number of fatigue cycles. Using the numerical model finite element method we determined the distribution and change in fatigue damage in the extreme areas of the sample during various stages of fatigue. We found clear relationship between the damage and the increased content of air voids.
The article presents a procedure for vibration analysis of the device based on measured data in simulated operating modes. Subsequently, the criterion of fatigue damage is formulated because this mechanism can be induced or accelerated by recognized operating deflection shapes. The criterion is used to select an optimal set of control device parameter values, which control each device’s operating modes and transitions between these modes and affect the excitation of the frame vibration due to possible shocks in the system. The criterion is formulated based on the vibration displacement processing from these dynamic measurements, the modified Goodman and Palmgren-Miner rules, and the results of static computational analyse. This criterion compares the effect of damage to the modes that control these sets of parameters, while the selection of the optimal control set is performed. At the end of the article, the limitations resulting from the simplifications used are described. The application of this procedure is also useful, for example, when further data are obtained by subsequent experimental stress-strain analysis methods and when we want to reduce the number of possible operating modes by which we carry out subsequent measurements among the most damaging modes.
The aim of the paper is to present the computationally timeconsuming task of simulating the process of randomly oscillating thin-shell structures to realize an optimal design with limitations in terms of fatigue damage. The most important aim here is to design an effective optimization algorithm and choose an appropriate approach for the evaluation of multiaxial fatigue damage in the context of the random and non-proportional character of stress in the structure when considering the standard finite element model. The authors propose their own optimization algorithm, which is described in the present study and, on the basis of tests, has proven to be suitable for the aforementioned technical problems. The proposition of algorithms for calculating the accumulation of fatigue damage in non-proportional and multiaxial stresses (especially in terms of the application of rainflow analysis by decomposition of the equivalent stress, as determined by the appropriate “fatigue” criterion) is very important in such computational processes. The entire computational process was implemented in MATLAB with the “Discret_Opt_Fat” main control program. The article presents the theoretical basis for the presented complex problem solution, its algorithmization and the technical application.
Pęknięcia zmęczeniowe elementów maszyn i urządzeń pod wpływem obciążeń eksploatacyjnych zachodzą najczęściej w warunkach losowych lub zmienno amplitudowych obciążeń. W literaturze występuje bardzo duża liczba opracowanych modeli hipotez zmęczeniowych, zarówno w ujęciu naprężeniowym, odkształceniowym, jak i energetycznym. Najszersze zastosowanie oraz zakres weryfikacji mają hipotezy liniowe o stosunkowo prostym zapisie, pozwalającym na ich pewne modyfikacje.

This method for high-cycle fatigue, covers both infinite and finite life region, and is based on a critical plane approach combined with rain flow cycle counting and linear damage accumulation. Algorithm based on the method for equivalent scaling of the normal stress in material planes in dependence on the stress state, proposed by Gaier and Danbauer. For analysis the calculated fatigue lives are compared to the experimental results for steel S355 under proportional and non-proportional bending with torsion.
Versatile hypotheses of fatigue damage accumulation are utilized in order to determine the fatigue life of particular mechanical elements. Such an approach to an analysis of fatigue processes is recognized as being phenomenological. In the present paper, modifications to the Paris and Foreman laws of fracture mechanics have been proposed. The goal of these modifications is an explicit formulation of crack propagation velocity as a function of crack length. Additionally, the process of crack growth was simulated according to the Palmgren-Miner and Pugno-Ciavarella-Cornetti-Carpinteri fatigue hypotheses. The results of simulation were verified based upon test stand experiments.
Wiele elementów konstrukcji, części maszyn poddanych jest obciążeniom o różnych wartościach oraz różnym czasie ich działania. Za zjawisko zmęczenia elementów konstrukcyjnych odpowiedzialne są: rodzaj obciążenia oraz czas jego trwania. Niestety czasami nie można (jednoznacznie odzwierciedlić przebiegu obciążenia elementu podczas próby oszacowania trwałości eksploatacyjnej. Dlatego w czasie badań eksperymentalnych sprowadza się złożony stan obciążenia do bardziej prostego wymiaru, który można odtworzyć w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Najpowszechniej przeprowadza się badania o charakterze okresowo sinusoidalnie zmiennym przebiegu dla rozciągania – ściskania skręcania. Do dziś jednak wielu naukowców próbuje jednoznacznie poznać i określić zjawisko zmęczenia materiałów konstrukcyjnych. Koniunktura dzisiejszego rozwijającego się świata wymusza na konstruktorach, aby już podczas projektowania oszacowali trwałość zmęczeniową elementów.

To study the influence of the random load on the V-lock chain ring for mining, the numerical simulation technology is used. The dynamic tension is obtained by using the dynamic model of the plough. The life and damage nephograms are obtained by using ANSYS Workbench. The analysis results show that the short fatigue life region of the V-lock chain ring for mining is mainly concentrated on the transition region between the medial straight edge and arc, and the fatigue damage of the link chain on the side of the motion direction of the plow head is larger than that on the other side. This link chain has strong anti-fatigue performance.
The article deals with the design of equipment and its application possibilities for on-line monitoring of operational stress traverse mechanisms. By processing of load spectra it is possible to predict the remaining life in the selected areas of the construction.

In this study, the elastic wave propagation phenomenon was used to detect the initiation of fatigue damage in a composite plate with a circular hole. The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system based on the active pitch-catch measurement technique was proposed. Two configurations of measuring points location were taken into account. The signals from the intact structure were compared with the dynamic response from a structure having a relatively small, interlaminar defect. The influence of the measuring points (actuators and sensors) location on the effectiveness of the damage detection method was performed to obtain an efficient system which can detect the initiation of fatigue damage in a composite plate with a circular hole.

The results of experimental studies of fatigue damage accumulation at the cyclic two-block sequence loading for steel En295 have been presented Studies have shown load sequence effect on fatigue damage accumulation process for the test steel. In the descending load values in a block (H-L) summed linearly measure of accumulation was in the range of 0, 65 to 0.94. If the reverse order of blocks (L-H) linearly summed measure of the accumulation ranged from 1.02 to 1.25. Positive mean strain generally decreases the fatigue life. For the analysis of experimental data in addition to the linear hypothesis Palmgren-Miner has been used a hypothesis put forward by Golos and Ellyin. Predictions based on the analyzed hypothesis for the analyzed test load sequence for symmetrical and with mean strain cycles for steel specimen En295 compared with the data obtained showed good agreement.
According to the modal superposition method, the vortex vibration procedure of submerged floating tunnel cable was compiled using Matlab, based on the calculated results, the fatigue damage was predicted. The effects of various factors, such as cable density, cable length, and pretension and velocity distribution on vortex induced fatigue damage in the cable were studied. The results show that velocity distribution has more effect on the cable fatigue damage than cable length, cable density and pretension. Secondly, cable length has also relatively effect on the cable damage fatigue, cable density and pretension has limited in a certain range.
