Stress-Life (S-N) Approach

S-N Curve

The S-N curve, first developed by Wöhler, defines a relationship between stress and number of cycles to failure.

Typically, the S-N curve (and other fatigue properties) of a material is obtained from experiment; through fully reversed rotating bending tests. Due to the large amount of scatter that usually accompanies test results, statistical characterization of the data should also be provided (certainty of survival is used to modify the S-N curve according to the standard error of the curve and a higher reliability level requires a larger certainty of survival).


Figure 1. S-N Data from Testing
When S-N testing data is presented in a log-log plot of alternating nominal stress amplitude S a or range S R versus cycles to failure N , the relationship between S and N can be described by straight line segments. Normally, a one or two segment idealization is used.


Figure 2. One Segment S-N Curves in Log-Log Scale
(1) S = S 1 ( N f ) b 1

for segment 1

Where, S is the nominal stress range, N f are the fatigue cycles to failure, b l is the first fatigue strength exponent, and S I is the fatigue strength coefficient.

The S-N approach is based on elastic cyclic loading, inferring that the S-N curve should be confined, on the life axis, to numbers greater than 1000 cycles. This ensures that no significant plasticity is occurring. This is commonly referred to as high-cycle fatigue.

S-N curve data is provided for a given material using the Materials module.

Multiple SN Curves

HyperLife supports the following Multiple SN curve types:
  • Multi-mean S-N curves: group of S-N curves defined at different mean stress.
  • Multi-ratio S-N curves: group of S-N curves defined at different stress ratio R.
  • Multi-Haigh Diagram: group of Haigh curves defined at different Number of Cycles.

Note: Refer Mean Stress = Interpolate, to understand how life is determined when Multiple SN curves are assigned.

Rainflow Cycle Counting

Cycle counting is used to extract discrete simple "equivalent" constant amplitude cycles from a random loading sequence.

One way to understand "cycle counting" is as a changing stress-strain versus time signal. Cycle counting will count the number of stress-strain hysteresis loops and keep track of their range/mean or maximum/minimum values.

Rainflow cycle counting is the most widely used cycle counting method. It requires that the stress time history be rearranged so that it contains only the peaks and valleys and it starts either with the highest peak or the lowest valley (whichever is greater in absolute magnitude). Then, three consecutive stress points (1, 2, and 3) will define two consecutive ranges as Δ S 12 = | S 1 S 2 | MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaeyiLdqKaam 4uamaaBaaaleaacaaIXaGaaGOmaaqabaGccqGH9aqpdaabdaqaaiaa dofadaWgaaWcbaGaaGymaaqabaGccqGHsislcaWGtbWaaSbaaSqaai aaikdaaeqaaaGccaGLhWUaayjcSdaaaa@428A@ and Δ S 23 = | S 2 S 3 | MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaeyiLdqKaam 4uamaaBaaaleaacaaIYaGaaG4maaqabaGccqGH9aqpdaabdaqaaiaa dofadaWgaaWcbaGaaGOmaaqabaGccqGHsislcaWGtbWaaSbaaSqaai aaiodaaeqaaaGccaGLhWUaayjcSdaaaa@428F@ .

Once a cycle is extracted, the two points forming the cycle are discarded and the remaining points are connected to each other. This procedure is repeated until the remaining data points are exhausted.
  • Simple Load History:


    Figure 6. Continuous Load History
    Since this load history is continuous, it is converted into a load history consisting of peaks and valleys only.


    Figure 7. Peaks and Valleys for Rainflow Counting. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the four peaks and valleys
    It is clear that point 4 is the peak stress in the load history, and it will be moved to the front during rearrangement (Figure 8). After rearrangement, the peaks and valleys are renumbered for convenience.


    Figure 8. Load History after Rearrangement and Renumbering

    Next, pick the first three stress values (1, 2, and 3) and determine if a cycle is present.

After these two points are also discarded, only point 5 remains; therefore, the rainflow counting process is completed.

    Two cycles (2→3 and 1→4) have been extracted from this load history. One of the main reasons for choosing the highest peak/valley and rearranging the load history is to guarantee that the largest cycle is always extracted (in this case, it is 1→4). If you observe the load history prior to rearrangement, and conduct the same rainflow counting process on it, then clearly, the 1→4 cycle is not extracted.

  • Complex Load History
    The rainflow counting process is the same regardless of the number of load history points. However, depending on the location of the highest peak/valley used for rearrangement, it may not be obvious how the rearrangement process is conducted.Figure 10 shows just the rearrangement process for a more complex load history. The subsequent rainflow counting is just an extrapolation of the process mentioned in the simple example above, and is not repeated here.


    Figure 10. Continuous Load History
    Since this load history is continuous, it is converted into a load history consisting of peaks and valleys only:


    Figure 11. Peaks and Valleys for Rainflow Counting
    Clearly, load point 11 is the highest valued load and therefore, the load history is now rearranged and renumbered.


    Figure 12. Load History After Rearrangement and Renumbering

    The load history is rearranged such that all points including and after the highest load are moved to the beginning of the load history and are removed from the end of the load history.

Equivalent Nominal Stress

Since S-N theory deals with uniaxial stress, the stress components need to be resolved into one combined value for each calculation point, at each time step, and then used as equivalent nominal stress applied on the S-N curve.

Various stress combination types are available with the default being "Absolute maximum principle stress". "Absolute maximum principle stress" is recommended for brittle materials, while "Signed von Mises stress" is recommended for ductile material. The sign on the signed parameters is taken from the sign of the Maximum Absolute Principal value.

"Critical plane stress" is also available as a stress combination for uniaxial calculations (stress life and strain life ).

Normal Stress resolved at each plane 𝜃 is calculated by:(8) σ = σ x ( cos 2 θ ) + σ y ( sin 2 θ ) + 2 σ x y ( cos θ sin θ ) θ = 0 , 10 , 20 , 30......170 degrees , MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGceaqabeaacqaHdp WCcqGH9aqpcqaHdpWCdaWgaaWcbaGaamiEaaqabaGcdaqadaqaaiGa cogacaGGVbGaai4CamaaCaaaleqabaGaaGOmaaaakiabeI7aXbGaay jkaiaawMcaaiabgUcaRiabeo8aZnaaBaaaleaacaWG5baabeaakmaa bmaabaGaci4CaiaacMgacaGGUbWaaWbaaSqabeaacaaIYaaaaOGaeq iUdehacaGLOaGaayzkaaGaey4kaSIaaGOmaiabeo8aZnaaBaaaleaa caWG4bGaamyEaaqabaGcdaqadaqaaiGacogacaGGVbGaai4CaiabeI 7aXjGacohacaGGPbGaaiOBaiabeI7aXbGaayjkaiaawMcaaaqaaiab eI7aXjabg2da9iaaicdacaGGSaGaaGymaiaaicdacaGGSaGaaGOmai aaicdacaGGSaGaaG4maiaaicdacaGGUaGaaiOlaiaac6cacaGGUaGa aiOlaiaac6cacaaIXaGaaG4naiaaicdacaaMe8Uaaeizaiaabwgaca qGNbGaaeOCaiaabwgacaqGLbGaae4CaiaacYcaaaaa@76D1@
HyperLife expects a number of planes (n) as input, which are converted to equivalent 𝜃 using the following formula.(9) θ = 180 n 2 MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaeqiUdeNaey ypa0ZaaSaaaeaacaaIXaGaaGioaiaaicdaaeaacaWGUbGaeyOeI0Ia aGOmaaaaaaa@3D95@

For example, if number of planes requested is 20, then stress is calculated every 10 degrees.

By default, HyperLife also calculates at 𝜃 = 45 and 135-degree planes in addition to the requested number of planes. This is to include the worst possible damage if occurring on these planes.

Mean Stress Correction

Generally, S-N curves are obtained from standard experiments with fully reversed cyclic loading. However, the real fatigue loading could not be fully-reversed, and the normal mean stresses have significant effect on fatigue performance of components. Tensile normal mean stresses are detrimental and compressive normal mean stresses are beneficial, in terms of fatigue strength. Mean stress correction is used to take into account the effect of non-zero mean stresses.

The Gerber parabola and the Goodman line in Haigh's coordinates are widely used when considering mean stress influence, and can be expressed as:

Interpolate

Multi-Mean SN Curves
Life is usually determined by interpolation of 2 SN curves with respect to mean stress. Note that a log function mentioned below is a 10 base log function.


Figure 15.
Case A
If a cycle has a mean stress of 150MPa at point A, HyperLife locates point 1 and point 2 in Figure 15. Then HyperLife linearly interpolates logN1 and logN2 with respect to mean stress in order to determine logN_A at mean stress 150MPa. Once logN_A is determined, life (N_A) and corresponding damage can be determined.
Case B
If the cycle has a mean stress greater than the maximum mean stress of the curve set (180MPa in this case), HyperLife offers two options to choose its behavior.
Option 1 , Curve Extrapolation = False
Use an SN curve of the maximum mean stress (the SN curve of mean stress 180 MPa in this case). In the example in HyperLife, N1 is the life HyperLife will report.
Option 2 , Curve Extrapolation = True
Extrapolate log(N) of the two SN curves with the highest mean stress values. In the example in Figure 15, log(N) will be extrapolated from log(N1) and log(N2) with respect to mean stress.
Case C
If the cycle has a mean stress less than the minimum mean stress of the curve set (90MPa in this case), HyperLife will use the SN curve of the minimum mean stress to determine life. In the example in Figure 15, life will be N2.
Multi-Stress Ratio SN Curve
Life is usually determined by interpolation of 2 SN curves with respect to mean stress. When multi- stress ratio SN curves are used, HyperLife assumes that you will not define SN curves with stress ratio greater than or equal to 1, which are SN curves with compressive stress or zero stress amplitude. A log function mentioned below is a 10 base log function. R denotes a stress ratio.


Figure 16.
Case A
If a cycle has R = -0.2 at point A, HyperLife locates point 1 and point 2 in Figure 16. Then HyperLife linearly interpolates logN1 and logN2 with respect to mean stress in order to determine logN_A at R = -0.2. Once R value and stress amplitude of the cycle are given, we can always calculate mean stress of the cycle. Once logN_A is determined, life (N_A) and corresponding damage can be determined. It is worthwhile to mention that HyperLife does not use stress ratio for interpolation because R can be an infinite value when maximum stress is zero.
Case B
If the cycle has R greater than the maximum R of the curve set (R=0 in this case), HyperLife offers two options to choose its behavior.
Option 1, Curve Extrapolation = False
Use an SN curve of the maximum R (the SN curve of R= 0 in this case). In the example in Figure 16, N1 is the life HyperLife will report.
Option 2, Curve Extrapolation = True
Extrapolate log(N) of the two SN curves with the highest R values. In the example in Figure 16, log(N) will be extrapolated from log(N1) and log(N2) with respect to mean stress.
Case C
If the cycle has R less than the minimum R of the curve set (R= -1 in this case), HyperLife will use the SN curve of the minimum R to determine life. In the example in Figure 16, life will be N2.
Constant Life Haigh Diagram
Life is usually determined by interpolation of two Haigh diagrams with respect to stress amplitude. A log function mentioned below is a 10 base log function.


Figure 17.
Interpolation on a Constant Mean Stress Line
If you chooses constant mean stress line for linear interpolation of Haigh diagram, HyperLife interpolates 2 Haigh diagrams on a constant mean stress line as described in the following.
Case A
If a cycle has a mean stress and stress amplitude at point A, HyperLife locates point 1 and point 2 in Figure 17. Life of point A should be between 1000 and 100000. HyperLife linearly interpolates log(1000) and log(100000) with respect to stress amplitude along Sm_A constant mean stress line in order to determine logN_A at point A. Once logN_A is determined, life (N_A) and corresponding damage can be determined.
Case B
If a point (mean stress, stress amplitude) is located above or below all the Haigh diagrams, life of the point is calculated by extrapolation of 2 highest or 2 lowest curves. In the example in Figure 17, log(1000) and log(100000) will be extrapolated with respect to stress amplitude along Sm_B constant mean stress line.
Case C
In this case, stress amplitude at point 5 and point 6 may be calculated from extrapolation. Once stress amplitudes become available at the 2 points, a procedure described in case A is applied.
Interpolation on a Constant Stress Ratio Line


Figure 18.
If you choose constant stress ration line for linear interpolation of Haigh diagram, HyperLife interpolates 2 Haigh diagrams on a constant stress ratio line as described in the following.
Case A
If a cycle has a mean stress and stress amplitude at point A, HyperLife locates point 1 and point 2 in Figure 18. Life of point A should be between 1000 and 100000. HyperLife linearly interpolates log(1000) and log(100000) with respect to stress amplitude along RA constant stress ratio line in order to determine logN_A at point A. Once logN_A is determined, life (N_A) and corresponding damage can be determined.
Case B
If a point (mean stress, stress amplitude) is located above or below all the Haigh diagrams, life of the point is calculated by extrapolation of 2 highest or 2 lowest curves. In the example in Figure 18, log(1000) and log(100000) will be extrapolated with respect to stress amplitude along R=RB constant stress ratio line.
Case C
In this case, stress amplitude at point 5 and point 6 may be calculated from extrapolation. Once stress amplitudes become available at the 2 points, a procedure described in case A is applied on constant stress ratio line R=RC.

Damage Accumulation Model

Palmgren-Miner's linear damage summation rule is used. Failure is predicted when:(17) D i = n i N i f 1.0
Where,
N i f
Materials fatigue life (number of cycles to failure) from its S-N curve at a combination of stress amplitude and means stress level i .
n i
Number of stress cycles at load level i .
D i
Cumulative damage under n i load cycle.

The linear damage summation rule does not take into account the effect of the load sequence on the accumulation of damage, due to cyclic fatigue loading. However, it has been proved to work well for many applications.

The fatigue life or damage obtained for the event specified can be scaled in HyperLife as shown below. Scaled life or scaled damage will be available as additional output from the fatigue evaluation.

Safety Factor

Safety factor is calculated based on the endurance limit or target stress (at target life) against the stress amplitude from the working stress history.

HyperLife calculates this ratio via two criteria:
  • Mean Stress = Constant
  • Stress Ratio = Constant

The safety factor (SF) based on the mean stress correction applied is given by the following equations.

Mean Stress = Constant

  6. Interpolate
    Safety Factor with Multi-Mean
    To calculate safety factor, HyperLife creates an internal Haigh diagram for the target life using multi-mean SN curve by finding stress amplitude-mean stress pairs at the target life. Using the internally created Haigh diagram, HyperLife calculates safety factor as described in section Safety Factor in Chapter Haigh diagram. The number of data points of the Haigh diagram is the number of curves. Thus the more number of curves, the better result. When Haigh diagram is not available in mean stress ranges, HyperLife extrapolates the Haigh diagram.

    To calculate safety factor, HyperLife create an internal Haigh diagram for the target life using multi-mean SN curve by finding stress amplitude-mean stress pairs at the target life. The number of data points of the Haigh diagram is the number of curves. Thus, the more number of curves, the better result. When Haigh diagram is not available in mean stress ranges, HyperLife extrapolates the Haigh diagram.

    Safety factor (SF) is calculated in the following manner in Figure 27.


    Figure 27.
    When target life is 100000:
    • Constant R : SF = OB/OA
    • Constant mean : SF = OD/OC
    If Haigh diagram for a target life is not defined, HyperLife creates Haigh diagram for the target life. In Figure 27, if target life is 10000, and Haigh diagram for N=10000 is not defined, HyperLife will created dashed curve to calculate Safety factor.
