FATIGUE STRENGTH EVALUATION OF PERFORATED PLATE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE USING STRESS REDISTRIBUTION LOCUS METHOD

摘要

This study reports the experimental results carried out at the elevated temperature of 550°C on fatigue strength of the perforated plate. Stress Redistribution Locus (abbreviated as SRL hereafter) Method is applied to predict fatigue life for the specimens having stress concentration. The specimens made of SUS304 stainless steel have through holes with different number and different diameter, accordingly leading to the different stress concentration condition. The inelastic local strain is estimated by the SRL method or the other previous Neuber's rule, and compared to the experimental results on the crack initiation life at the edge of the hole using the concentrated local strain obtained by these methods. The obtained result is that the SRL method is best used with the onset of failure or crack initiation.
