Uniform Material Law: Extension to High-Strength Steels: A Methodology to Predict Fatigue Life of High-Strength Steels

2010
Books

Abstract

This book presents a refined methodology to predict fatigue life of high-strength steels: Uniform Material Law (UML) for High-Strength Steels. In contrast to other available methods, UML is a handy method as only tensile strength data of metals are needed for estimation of the strain-life curves. The extension of UML to high-strength steels will be of interest and use to mechanical and structural engineers and researchers of related disciplines.

Compressive strength

In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (as opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate). In other words, compressive strength resists compression (being pushed together), whereas tensile strength resists tension (being pulled apart). In the study of strength of materials, tensile strength, compressive strength, and shear strength can be analyzed independently.

Fatigue (material)

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with each loading cycle, typically producing striations on some parts of the fracture surface. The crack will continue to grow until it reaches a critical size, which occurs when the stress intensity factor of the crack exceeds the fracture toughness of the material, producing rapid propagation and typically complete fracture of the structure.

Building material

Building material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, wood, and even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work.
