Abstract

ABSTRACTComponents in aero‐engine are likely excited in multiple resonance models in dynamic loads. This paper proposes an accelerated fatigue testing method that combines the vibration test with ultrasonic loading to develop a feasible experimental system for combined cycle fatigue (CCF) and explore the CCF characteristics in the high cycle fatigue (HCF) associated with very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) conditions. A thin plate specimen of 7075‐T6 aluminum alloy with two natural frequencies of 2 and 20 kHz is designed for the experiment. The stress waveform and distribution during real‐time monitoring provide validation for the method. Finally, the influences of composite loads are demonstrated by exploring the characteristics of the S–N curves and fracture morphology. The results suggest that the increase in both axial and bending stress markedly diminishes fatigue life, while the difference in stress levels under combined loading is revealed through variations in fatigue striation morphology.
