Abstract:
The article presents an analysis of the outcomes for AA2519 aluminum alloy exposed to variable loads. The variable loads were implemented with a strain control program consisting of incremental steps and increasing/decreasing multiple steps. Tests were conducted at higher and lower strain ranges and yielded lower (LFL test) and higher (HFL test) fatigue life, respectively. The values of plastic strain, cyclic modulus, cyclic yield strength, and fractography were analyzed. Based on the analysis of the test results, a criterion was established for the division of the tested fatigue properties into two parts for which the strength coefficient and strain hardening exponent were determined. An analytical description of the cyclic stress-strain curve for the entire range of results obtained from the LFL and HFL tests was proposed. Compared to other available models describing material properties, good compliance was obtained with the experimental results for both the LFL and HFL tests.
