 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES:
• To understand the basic concepts involved in fatigue analysis and to study the importance of fracture mechanics in aerospace applications.

UNIT I

FATIGUE OF STRUCTURES

7

S.N. curves - Endurance limits - Effect of mean stress, Goodman, Gerber and Soderberg relations and diagrams - Notches and stress concentrations - Neuber’s stress concentration factors - Plastic stress concentration factors - Notched S.N. curves – Fatigue of composite materials.

UNIT II

STATISTICAL ASPECTS OF FATIGUE BEHAVIOUR

10

Low cycle and high cycle fatigue - Coffin - Manson’s relation - Transition life - cyclic strain hardening and softening - Analysis of load histories - Cycle counting techniques -Cumulative damage - Miner’s theory - Other theories.


UNIT III

PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF FATIGUE

10

Phase in fatigue life - Crack initiation - Crack growth - Final Fracture - Dislocations - fatigue fracture surfaces.

UNIT IV

FRACTURE MECHANICS

10

Strength of cracked bodies - Potential energy and surface energy - Griffith’s theory - Irwin - Orwin extension of Griffith’s theory to ductile materials - stress analysis of “cracked bodies - Effect of thickness on fracture toughness” - stress intensity factors for typical ‘geometries.

UNIT V

FATIGUE DESIGN AND TESTING

8

Safe life and Fail-safe design philosophies - Importance of Fracture Mechanics in aerospace structures - Application to composite materials and structures.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
