Fatigue Hysteresis Loops Simulation of SiCf /Ti Composites under Two-Stage Cyclic Loading

Finite element analysis of microscopic fracture process in titanium metal matrix composite shafts using a unit cell approach

“…Niu et al 7 developed an approach to predict the matrix crack growth rate of TiMMC under spectrum loading. Sun et al 8 studied the fatigue hysteresis behaviour of SiC f /Ti using cyclic loading to analyse the factors influencing fatigue hysteresis loop. The failure mechanisms and physical evidence of the fractured surfaces of TiMMC shafts subjected to torsion fatigue loading have also been investigated on a microscopic level.…”

“…Some researchers have studied fatigue and fracture damage of TiMMC on microscopic levels. 3–8 Feng and Yang 3 studied the interfacial compatibility of fibre -reinforced titanium matrix composites (SiC f /Ti) by using fibre coating and subsequent heat treatment to increase the interfacial shear strengths. Feng et al 4 investigated tension-tension fatigue properties of SiC f /Ti-6Al-4V.…”
