Strain-life fatigue data on copper alloys, especially type CuAg, are seldom available in the literature.

Regression analysis is used to estimate the median fatigue curves at 50% survival probability. The comparison of median curves with the Universal Slopes Equation model, calibrated on monotonic tensile properties, shows a fairly good agreement. Design strain-life curves with a lower failure probability and given confidence are estimated by several approximate statistical methods (“Equivalent Prediction Interval,” univariate tolerance interval, Owen's tolerance interval for regression). When higher survival probabilities are considered, the results show a marked decrease in the allowable design strain at a prescribed fatigue life. The suggested procedure thus improves the durability analysis of components loaded thermo-mechanically.

Abstract
Strain-life fatigue data on copper alloys, especially type CuAg, are seldom available in the literature. This work fills this gap by estimating the strain-life curves of a CuAg alloy used for thermo-mechanical applications, from isothermal low-cycle fatigue tests at 3 temperatures (room temperature, 250°C, 300°C). Regression analysis is used to estimate the median fatigue curves at 50% survival probability. The comparison of median curves with the Universal Slopes Equation model, calibrated on monotonic tensile properties, shows a fairly good agreement. Design strain-life curves with a lower failure probability and given confidence are estimated by several approximate statistical methods (“Equivalent Prediction Interval,” univariate tolerance interval, Owen's tolerance interval for regression). When higher survival probabilities are considered, the results show a marked decrease in the allowable design strain at a prescribed fatigue life. The suggested procedure thus improves the durability analysis of components loaded thermo-mechanically.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
