Remaining Life Assessment for Steel After Low-Cycle Fatigue by Surface Crack Image.

After pre-fatigue cycles at different strain amplitudes with different values (33.3%, 50%, and 75%), specimens of HRB335 steel were subjected to uniaxial tension until failure. By this method the mechanical properties of the specimens after pre-fatigue testing were measured, and the fracture morphology and microscopic morphology in the vicinity of the specimen's neck surface near the fracture were observed.

Experimental Investigations on Subsequent Yield Surface of Pure Copper by Single-Sample and Multi-Sample Methods under Various Pre-Deformation.

Using copper thin-walled tubular specimens, the subsequent yield surfaces under pre-tension, pre-torsion and pre-combined tension-torsion are measured, where the single-sample and multi-sample methods are applied respectively to determine the yield stresses at specified offset strain. The rule and characteristics of the evolution of the subsequent yield surface are investigated. Under the conditions of different pre-strains, the influence of test point number, test sequence and specified offset strain on the measurement of subsequent yield surface and the concave phenomenon for measured yield surface are studied.
