Abstract
In this paper, a new fatigue life evaluation method, namely augmented-reverse notch equivalent stress method, is proposed for titanium alloy welded structures with stress singularities. First, a new three-parameter power function model is proposed in this paper, and the notch stress equivalent value method with correction factor is deduced. Combining the two, the theoretical framework of the augmented-reverse notch equivalent stress method is obtained. Within this framework, the fatigue test data of four titanium alloy welded joints with the same grade were used for analysis, and a new three-parameter power function model of titanium alloy welded structure was established. According to the calculation method of the notch equivalent stress correction factor, the correction factor suitable for the titanium alloy welded structure was obtained. Finally, the fatigue test data, different from the above titanium alloy welded structure, are used to verify the augmented-reverse notch equivalent stress method. The verification results show that the augmented-reverse notch equivalent stress method improves the effectiveness and accuracy of fatigue life evaluation and establishes a new life evaluation method for titanium alloy welded structures with stress singularities.
