The effect of mean shear stress is implemented into the PIR criterion [1][2]. Results of the new solution are only slightly worse than the similarly improved PCN criterion described in [3]. Five methods of the integral type known to the author (PIR + new PIN, the Fogue method, the Liu & Zenner method, the Papadopoulos method) are evaluated here on a large set of experimental data (286 items). Because the integral solution is easier to handle, the simplified reduced formulas of each criterion for the case of purely axial loading are presented. Their relations each to other, and also to other common uniaxial mean stress effect methods are then studied and small numerical benchmark convening this load condition is prepared. 1
The paper presents a comparison of six recently introduced multiaxial fatigue strength estimation criteria to four methods, the large-scope validation of which has already been published. The results obtained for each newer method are analyzed and discussed. From the newer methods, only the criterion by Böhme reaches an estimation quality similar to the best performing criteria. The validation was performed on the FatLim data sets, but the primary focus of the paper is set to analyzing the validation on a smaller AMSD25 data set derived from it. The comparison shows that the application of AMSD25 for validation practice allows users to reduce the number of evaluated test cases, while generally preserving the worst cases showing the weaknesses of various estimation methods.
The joining of machine parts by plastic forming is a common method for transmitting forces and torque. In drive trains, the 'knurled interference fit' has a high transmission capacity through the combination of frictional connection and form fit. In the present study, the shaft specimen made of C45 steel is joined with an inner knurled hub made of 16MnCr5 casehardened steel. The influence of the joining process parameters on the torsional fatigue strength of the shaft-hub connection is experimentally investigated in this paper. The most important parameter is the chamfer angle of the knurled hub, which determines the rate of strain hardening in the material and differs between the cutting and forming joining processes. This study shows that knurled interference fit connections, joined by forming, achieve a higher fatigue strength and a higher maximum static torque than connections joined by cutting.
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.
