Aluminum alloys have a wide range of applications, such as the aerospace and automotive industries. The effect of V-notch on fatigue life of cylindrical beam made of aluminum alloys under rotating bending fatigue load has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The experimental work involved the tensile strength, hardness, impact test, and fatigue life behavior at room temperature. The fatigue life test was conducted with a fully reversed cycle with a mean stress ratio (R= -1). The experimental data were compared with the numerical result, and a good agreement was found. The results show that the notch has reduced the fatigue life of aluminum alloy beams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
