Abstract

The cyclic strain energy method has been widely used because it can predict fatigue life from the perspective of fatigue damage mechanism and explain many fatigue phenomena which cannot be explained by other methods. However, in the large amount of empirical study of the overall properties of materials, the machined surface layer is often not considered, which affects the prediction accuracy of the energy method. Based on the energy method, a new fatigue life prediction model with back stress energy based on the machined surface layer of high strength steel was proposed. The effect of surface mechanical characteristics on total back stress energy was considered by introducing the area of residual stress with depth as the influence factor, while the effect of surface layer geometry and metallurgy on strain energy was considered by taking the non-propagation threshold of microcrack as the influence factor. The results showed that: the dispersion band of fatigue life prediction error for the modified model considering surface integrity was reduced by 38% and the prediction accuracy improved by 25%; it had the same error dispersion band (1.25 times) as the model for the real-time statistical single cycle energy density after fatigue fracture, which overcomes the disadvantage that the fatigue life can be predicted only after the fatigue test of the traditional energy method; for quenched and tempered high strength steel, the average accuracy of fatigue life prediction of the modified model considering surface integrity was improved from 72.7% to 90.6%; compared with the real-time statistics after fatigue fracture, the error dispersion band of the single cycle energy density prediction model was reduced from 3.30 times to 1.41 times. This model provides a method to assess the fatigue service performance of the machined surface layer, and improves the applicability of strain energy in different machined surface layer characteristics.

Abstract
为研究枪管内膛损伤机理、提高枪管寿命,提出了基于枪管镀层界面剪切疲劳损伤累积的枪管寿命预测方法。根据身管镀层剪切失效理论和疲劳损伤累积理论,建立了热压耦合应力作用下的枪管镀层界面剪切失效模型。以某5.8 mm小口径步枪枪管为研究对象,计算一个冷却周期150发 弹连续射击过程中的枪管界面剪切应力,结合随温度变化的枪管材料抗拉强度数据对枪管寿命进行了预测。研究结果表明:预测结果与寿命试验结果高度吻合,验证了寿命预测模型的可行性与正确性;以镀层界面剪切疲劳寿命来预测枪管寿命是有效的,镀层界面剪切疲劳失效是导致枪管寿终的重要原因。

According to the theories of coating shear failure mechanism and cumulative fatigue damage of gun barrel, a gun barrel life prediction method based on the shear fatigue damage accumulation at the interface of coating and substrate in barrel is proposed to study the bore damage mechanism of gun barrel and improve the gun barrel life. A shear failure model of coating interface under the effect of thermo-pressure coupling stress is built, and the shear stress of coating interface during continuous firing of 150 rounds is calculated by taking a 5.8 mm caliber gun barrel as study object. The barrel life is predicted by use of temperature dependent tensile strength of gun barrel material. The predicted results match well with life test results, which verifies the feasibility and validity of the proposed life prediction model. The research results show that the prediction of gun barrel life based on the shear fatigue life of coating is feasible and the shear fatigue failure of coating interface is an important reason to lead to the life end of gun barrel.

Surface texture and process defects resulting from net-shape machining of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) are often ignored in a design analysis of component parts. The authors recently proposed a mathematical model which defines the effects of surface texture on the strength of engineering components in terms of an effective stress concentration factor (KT). In this study, a verification of the proposed model for FRP materials is presented using results from a comprehensive experimental analysis on the flexure strength of graphite/epoxy and graphite/bismaleimide laminates. The effects of surface texture resulting from three methods of machining were evaluated using this new approach. The proposed model was also compared with the predictive capabilities of existing theoretical models in the evaluation of the experimental data. It was found that the proposed model successfully predicted the reduction in flexure strength of FRP laminates resulting from net-shape machining over a large range in surface quality. Hence, results from this study indicate that the Kt offers a new design tool which can be used to account for the effects of surface texture on the strength of FRP components.
