MATEC Web of Conferences (Jan 2020)
Advanced Titanium Alloy Fatigue Modeling
Abstract
A summar y of the final progress achieved in two Metals Affordability Initiative (MAI) programs (RR-12 and RR-13) that were funded by the US Air Force to develop the necessary integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) framework, knowledge, and supporting database to model and predict location-specific fatigue properties across the entire titanium supply chain is presented. Validation of this ICME framework which allows for the prediction of location specific low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior on complex production components in electro-polished and shot peened surface conditions will be presented. In addition, validation of a new shot peening capability embedded with the commercial software package DEFORM™ will be presented.
