  1. 1. Life and fracture in very high cycle fatigue of a high strength steel

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Daniel Karlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Very high cycle fatigue; VHCF; Fractography; Fine granular area; FGA; High strength tool steel; Ultrasonic testing equipment;

    Abstract : Classical fatigue models teach that there is an intrinsic fatigue limit for steels, representing a level of stress that is too low for regular crack growth where every cyclic load propagates a fatigue crack through the material. Modern application with extreme lifetimes has shown that fatigue will still take place in steels with stress levels well below the expected fatigue limit. READ MORE

  3. 2. Wear mark evolution and numerical study of impact stresses in stainless steel flapper valves

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Jesper Larsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Flapper valve; FEM; Impact fatigue; Wear mark;

    Abstract : Compressors that are used in refrigerators and air conditioners usually have flapper vales made of martensitic stainless steel to control the flow of the refrigerant in the system. During service the flapper valves are affected by both bending and impact fatigue in the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) range with billions of cycles until failure. READ MORE
