A Microstructurally-Informed, Continuum-Level Life Prediction Model For Thermo-Acousto-Mechanically Fatigued Ti-6242S And In617

Abstract

Cumulative damage theory has been extended to develop a deterministic fatigue life prediction model for materials subjected to superimposed thermo-acousto-mechanical cycling. This loading profile is exhibited by particular external panels of reusable hypersonic cruise vehicles. Both creep and fatigue (LCF) test data have been acquired for two candidate fuselage materials: a Ni-base alloy (IN617) and a near-alpha titanium alloy (Ti-6242S). Although both materials exhibit considerable strength against isothermal fatigue and/or creep damage, their oxidative responses gives rise to surface-form cracks under cyclic temperature conditions. Damage modules for fatigue, creep, and coupled environmental-fatigue life are developed to predict fatigue life under service conditions. Although a module is also included for acoustic cycling, the combined model is demonstrated for available data.
