This paper presents the assessment of fatigue crack growth rate for dual-phase steel under spectrum loading based on entropy generation. According to the second law of thermodynamics, fatigue crack growth is related to entropy gain because of its irreversibility. In this work, the temperature evolution and crack length were simultaneously measured during fatigue crack growth tests until failure to ensure the validity of the assessment. Results indicated a significant correlation between fatigue crack growth rate and entropy. This relationship is the basis in developing a model that can determine the characteristics of fatigue crack growth rates, particularly under spectrum loading. Predictive results showed that the proposed model can accurately predict the fatigue crack growth rate under spectrum loading in all cases. The root mean square error in all cases is 10 m/cycle. In conclusion, entropy generation can accurately predict the fatigue crack growth rate of dual-phase steels under spectrum loading.
本文基于熵产生对双相钢在谱加载下的疲劳裂纹扩展速率进行了评估。根据热力学第二定律,由于疲劳裂纹扩展的不可逆性,其与熵增相关。在本研究中,在疲劳裂纹扩展试验直至失效的过程中同时测量了温度演变和裂纹长度,以确保评估的有效性。结果表明疲劳裂纹扩展速率与熵之间存在显著相关性。这种关系是开发一个能够确定疲劳裂纹扩展速率特性的模型的基础,特别是在谱加载情况下。预测结果表明,所提出的模型能够在所有情况下准确预测谱加载下的疲劳裂纹扩展速率。所有情况下的均方根误差为10米/循环。总之,熵产生能够准确预测双相钢在谱加载下的疲劳裂纹扩展速率。
