Abstract
This paper focuses on the fatigue reliability analysis and the development of a new life model of reliability and crack growth mechanisms in FV520B-I (high strength martensitic-type stainless steels) in the very-high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime, which haven’t been studied well. First, the fatigue test was carried out to clarify the fatigue failure mechanism in the very-high cycle regime. Based on the test results and fatigue reliability theory, the fatigue life distribution and P-S-N curves were modeled. A new fatigue life evaluation model for FV520B-I is proposed according to the fracture mechanics and classic life evaluation method. With the comprehensive application of P-S-N curves and a new proposed fatigue life evaluation model, a new assumption of a P-Sc-N curve is developed and verified, to quantitatively express the relationship between fatigue life, reliability and fatigue cracking. This is novel and valuable for further fatigue study of FV520B-I.
