Nonproportional Low Cycle Fatigue Criterion for Type 304 Stainless Steel

This paper describes a multiaxial low cycle fatigue parameter for correlating lives under nonproportional loadings. Constant amplitude low cycle fatigue tests were carried out under 14 proportional and complex nonproportional cyclic strain paths using type 304 stainless steel hollow cylinder specimens at room temperature. In nonproportional loading tests, fatigue lives are decreased by as much as a factor of 10 in comparison with those in proportional loading tests with the same strain range. Reduction in fatigue life due to nonproportional loading is closely related to additional nonproportional cyclic hardening. The product of the maximum principal stress and strain ranges correlated the nonproportional fatigue data. A nonproportional cyclic hardening parameter computed from the strain path is also proposed that allows life estimates to be obtained directly from the strain history without the need for a cyclic plasticity model.

Prediction of stress-strain relationship with an improved Anand constitutive Model For lead-free solder Sn-3.5Ag

An improved Anand constitutive model is proposed to describe the inelastic deformation of lead-free solder Sn-3.5Ag used in solder joints of microelectronic packaging. The new model accurately predicted the overall trend of steady-state stress-strain behavior of the solder for the temperature range from 233 K to 398 K and the strain rate range from 0.005 s/sup -1/ to 0.1 s/sup -1/. h/sub 0,/ a constant in the original Anand model, was set to a function of temperature and strain rate in the proposed model. Comparison of the experimental results and simulated results verified that the improved Anand model with modifying h/sub 0/ to a function reasonably simulated the inelastic stress-strain relationships.

High Temperature Multiaxial Low Cycle Fatigue of Cruciform Specimen

This paper describes high temperature multiaxial low cycle fatigue lives of type SUS304 stainless steel and 1Cr-1Mo-1/4V steel cruciform specimens at 923 K and 823 K in air. Strain controlled multiaxial low cycle fatigue tests were carried out using cruciform specimens at the principal strain ratios between [minus]1 and 1. The principal strain ratio had a significant effect on low cycle fatigue lives. Fatigue lives drastically decreased as the principal strain ratio increased. Multiaxial low cycle fatigue strain parameters were applied to the experimental data and the applicability of the parameter was discussed. The equivalent strain based on crack opening displacement (COD strain) developed in the paper and [Gamma][sup *] -- plane parameter successfully predicted multiaxial low cycle fatigue lives. The crack morphology was also extensively discussed from not only the surface crack direction but also the crack inclination into the specimen.

Modified Anand constitutive model for lead-free solder Sn-3.5Ag

An improved Anand constitutive model is proposed to describe the inelastic deformation of lead free solder Sn-3.5Ag used in solder joints of microelectronic packaging. The new model accurately predicted the overall trend of steady-state stress-strain behavior of the solder for the temperature range from 233 K to 398 K and the strain rate range from 0.005 s/sup -1/ to 0.1 s/sup -1//spl middot/h/sub 0/, a constant in the original Anand model, was set to a function of temperature and strain rate in the proposed model. Comparison of the experimental results and simulated results verified that the improved Anand model with modifying h/sub 0/ to a function reasonably simulated the inelastic stress-strain relationships.

Fracture Plane of Cruciform Specimen in Biaxial Low Cycle Fatigue—Estimate by Variance Method and Experimental Verification

This paper presents the variance method of determining the fracture plane under random multiaxial stress states. The fracture plane was estimated analytically by the variance method with the three fatigue criteria. The estimated fracture planes were compared with experimental result using type SUS 304 and 1Cr-1Mo-1/4V steel cruciform specimens. The variance method with the maximum normal strain criterion, by neglecting the strain in direction in which no external forces act, could estimate the actual fracture planes of cruciform specimens in high temperature biaxial low cycle fatigue

Creep-Fatigue Life Evaluation for Sn-3.5Ag Solder

This paper studies the creep-fatigue life evaluation of Sn-3.5Ag solder under push-pull loading using fast-fast, fast-slow, slow-fast, slow-slow, and strain-hold strain waves. Extensive creep-fatigue data were generated using these strain waves and the applicability of four conventional creep-fatigue damage rules, the linear damage rule, the frequency modified fatigue life, the ductility exhaustion model, and the strain range partitioning method, was examined. No conventional damage rules evaluated creep-fatigue lives accurately. Only the grain boundary sliding model, developed recently for solders, predicted creep-fatigue lives with a small scatter.

Fatigue-creep life prediction of 214Cr—1Mo steel by inelastic analysis

Abstract This paper covers the second part of the Benchmark Project by the Subcommittee on the Inelastic Analysis and Life Prediction of High Temperature Materials, JSMS, concerning the life prediction methods under fatigue—creep interaction by taking into account the plasticity—creep interaction described by the constitutive models treated in the first part. By specifying a normalized and tempered 2 1 4 Cr —1 Mo steel at 600°C, uniaxial fatigue—creep tests under six patterns of strain waves are performed. Adopting eight types of life estimation methods, two kinds of life prediction procedures are examined: one is a normal way based on an experimentally obtained stress—strain hysteresis loop; and the other is a way of employing the calculated stress—strain hysteresis loop by use of ten types of constitutive models. Predicted lives of the material are compared with observed failure lives, and discussions on the evaluation of the methods are included.

A Simple Model for Stable Cyclic Stress-Strain Relationship of Type 304 Stainless Steel Under Nonproportional Loading

This paper proposes a simple two-surface model for cyclic incremental plasticity based on combined Mroz and Ziegler kinematic hardening rules under nonproportional loading. The model has only seven material constants and a nonproportional factor which describes the degree of additional hardening. Cyclic loading experiments with fourteen strain paths were conducted using Type 304 stainless steel. The simulation has shown that the model was precise enough to calculate the stable cyclic stress-strain relationship under nonproportional loadings.

A Strain Rate Ratio Approach for Assessing Creep-Fatigue Life of 63Sn-37Pb Solder Under Shear Loading

This paper studies creep-fatigue life prediction under shear loading by making extensive torsion creep-fatigue experiments using four kinds of strain waves. The linear damage rule, strain range partitioning method, frequency modified fatigue life, and ductility exhaustion model were applied to the experimental data, but no methods accurately predicted the creep-fatigue life. A new method based on the strain rate ratio, which predicted the creep-fatigue life within a factor of 4 scatter band, was developed.

Experimental Study of Biaxial Creep Damage for Type 304 Stainless Steel

This paper studies the biaxial creep damage of type 304 stainless steel at 923 K. Biaxial tension creep tests were carried out using cruciform specimens and the effect of stress biaxiality on rupture lifetime and creep voiding was discussed. Mises equivalent stress and the equivalent stress based on crack opening displacement were a suitable parameter to assess the biaxial creep damage. The equivalent stress proposed by Huddleston overestimated the biaxial creep damage by more than a factor of two. Stress biaxiality had almost no influence on the orientation of voided grain boundaries and the critical value ofparameter A. Tests of alternative loading direction significantly dispersed the biaxial creep damage resulting in larger creep lifetime.
