A model to predict S–N curves for surface and subsurface crack initiations in different environmental media

Guian Qian, Chengen Zhou, Youshi Hong

Abstract

The influence of environmental media on crack propagation of a structural steel at high-cycle and very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) regimes was investigated with the fatigue tests in air, water and 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. The fatigue strength in water and 3.5% NaCl solution is significantly decreased and the cracking morphology due to different driving forces is presented. A model is proposed to explain the influence of environmental media on fatigue life, which reflects the variation of fatigue life with applied stress, grain size, inclusion size and material yield stress. The model prediction is in good agreement with experimental observations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
