Fatigue Life Prediction Based on Local Strain Energy for Healed Copper Film by Laser Irradiation Feng-Zhu Liu, De-Guang Shang, Chong-Gang Ren, and Yu-Juan Sun (Submitted September 30, 2015; in revised form January 19, 2016; published online February 23, 2016) Changes of total cyclic strain energy at the notch for copper film specimen were analyzed before and after laser irradiation treatment. The results showed that laser irradiation can increase total cyclic strain energy and the effect of increase is more evident for the damaged copper specimen. Based on the damage-healing mechanism, an enhancement parameter and a healing parameter were defined by the local cyclic strain energy. A new model based on local strain energy was proposed to predict residual fatigue life for the damaged copper film specimen after laser irradiation. The predicted results by the proposed model agree well with the experimental lives. Keywords

1. Introduction Fatigue cracks usually initiate at the position of the stress concentration due to the complex geometry, which result in fatigue failure because of the cyclic loading and tiny defects. Some methods to heal fatigue damages had been studied by many researchers, such as D.C. electro-pulsing, annealing, plasma nitriding, laser surface treatment, and so on (Ref 1-5). Because of the many advantages of laser irradiation, it has been widely used for surface treatment of metal materials. With regard to the fatigue healing, Liu et al. (Ref 6, 7) identified two basic mechanisms. One is the dissipated energy enhancement mechanism, which improves the fatigue life caused by laser shock stress, and the other is the healing mechanism, which results in a further improvement. Based on the two mechanisms, Liu et al. (Ref 6) and Zhang et al. (Ref 8) proposed fatigue life prediction methods for copper film. However, these methods only took into account the plastic strain energy consumption before and after laser shock peening. As well known, the plastic strain energy cannot be used as a damage parameter in the high-cycle fatigue regime, where the material behaves elastically and the fatigue life is significantly influenced by the mean stresses (Ref 9). Ellyin and coauthors (Ref 10-12) thought the cyclic elastic strain energy with tensile stress part could promote crack propagation, because tensile stress can exacerbate the concentration degree at the microscopic defects or micro-cracks, which can be weakened by compressive stress. Therefore, in order to predict fatigue life in both the low-cycle and high-cycle regimes, total cyclic strain

energy model had been developed, in which elastic strain energy was added to the plastic strain energy (Ref 9, 13). The main aims of this study are to analyze the changes of total cyclic strain energies at the notch for the original specimen, the undamaged specimen after laser irradiation, and the damaged specimen after laser irradiation and to propose a new model based on total cyclic strain energy to predict residual fatigue life for the healed copper film by laser irradiation.

According to the tests for the notched specimens, the fatigue lives for the original specimens, the undamaged specimens after laser irradiation, and the damaged specimens after laser irradiation are listed in Table 3. The local stress and strain ranges at the notch root are obtained by NeuberÕs rule. In the investigation, the fatigue notch factor Kf obtained by the ratio between the fatigue limits of smooth and notched specimen is 2.7.

The fatigue tests were conducted on MMT-11N micromechanical fatigue testing machine with load-controlled mode. The limit load and displacement for the machine are 10 N and 2 mm, respectively. Because the copper film specimens cannot be subjected to compressive stress, all of the fatigue tests were conducted under pulsating cyclic tensile load (stress ratio R = 0) with a frequency of 20 Hz at room temperature in air. Fatigue tests were carried out for smooth and notched copper film specimens, respectively. For the notched specimens, some original specimens were first tested to obtain the damaged specimens. The damage degree is defined as the ratio between the current number of cycles and the number of cycles to failure under corresponding stress level. Fatigue tests were carried out for the original specimens, the undamaged specimens after laser irradiation, and the damaged specimens after laser irradiation to obtain the corresponding fatigue lives. For the smooth specimens, the processes of the tests were the same as that of the notched specimens. MMT fatigue testing system can directly measure the strain of tiny film specimens by detecting the displacement between the grips of the machine. Since the copper film specimen cannot install an extensometer, the gage section for the specimens

3.2 Fatigue Response for the Smooth Copper Film Specimens Before and After Laser Irradiation The uniaxial cyclic stress and strain data for the smooth specimens were drawn from fatigue testing recorder. The cyclic strength coefficient K¢ and the cyclic strain hardening exponent n¢ can be determined by fitting the cyclic stress–strain curves for different specimen conditions. For the original specimen, the undamaged specimen after laser irradiation, and the damaged specimen with the damage of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, respectively, K 0 are 4541, 5807, 6471, 6939, and 7407 MPa, respectively, and n¢ are 0.40874, 0.4231, 0.4231, 0.4231, and 0.4231, respectively. It can be found that the values of n¢ are almost identical. According to the data, the changes of the plastic strain of the smooth specimens in different stress levels are shown in Fig. 5, in which Fig. 5(a) shows that laser irradiation can decrease the plastic strain of the copper film specimens and the degree of decrease is more obvious for the damaged specimens. Figure 5(b) shows that all the lines are nearly parallel, which means that the cyclic strain hardening exponents of the copper specimens are basically identical. In order to simplify the calculation, the linear relationship between cycle strength coefficient and damage degree shown in Fig. 6 is given as follows: KD0 ¼ a  D þ b;

ðEq 1Þ

where a and b are the constants of the material, a = 2341 MPa, b = 5769 MPa.

To simplify calculation, it was assumed that the consumed strain energy during each cycle is constant, that is, the strain energy density was obtained under the condition of a stabilized cyclic stress–strain behavior. The total cyclic strain energy for copper film specimen can be calculated by Wta ¼ DWta  Na

where Ns, Nx, and Nx are the fatigue lives for original specimen, undamaged, and damaged specimens after laser irradiation, respectively; DWt0, DWts, and DWtx are the total cyclic strain energy densities for original specimen, undamaged, and damaged specimens after laser irradiation, respectively; and Wt0, Wts, Wtx are the total cyclic strain energies for original specimen, undamaged, and damaged specimens after laser irradiation, respectively. Figure 7 shows that the total cyclic strain energy of undamaged specimen after laser irradiation is larger than that of the original specimen. In addition, the total cyclic strain energy of damaged specimen after laser irradiation is larger than that of the undamaged specimen after laser irradiation. It means that laser irradiation can increase the total cyclic strain energy of copper film and the increase is more evident for the damaged specimen.

4.3 Healing and Enhancement Parameters According to the above analysis, the schematic diagram of total cyclic strain energy distribution by laser irradiation is shown in Fig. 8. The enhancement effect for the undamaged specimen is assumed to be the same as that of the damaged

4.5 Verification of Residual Fatigue Life Prediction Model The values of healing parameter Y for the damaged specimens with different damage degrees in different stress levels are shown in Fig. 9 by substituting the corresponding parameters in Tables 3 and 4 into Eq 15. It can be found that the healing parameters are independent of stress levels and damage degrees, because the range of healing parameters is always 0.43 to 0.63. Therefore, the mean value of the healing parameter is taken as 0.53. In other words, the healing effect for the damaged specimen after laser irradiation accounts for 53% of the sum of healing and enhancement effects, that is, Y = 0.53. The predicted residual fatigue lives for the damaged specimens after laser irradiation can be calculated by substituting the basic parameters shown in Tables 3 and 4 into Eq 18. Figure 10 shows the comparison of the predicted and experimental residual lives for the damaged copper specimens after laser irradiation. It can be found that the predicted residual fatigue lives agree well with the experimental data, in which all the predicted residual fatigue life errors are within a factor of 2.

5. Conclusions (1)

(2)

Laser irradiation can increase total cyclic strain energy of the copper film. Compared to the undamaged specimens, the effect of increase for the damaged specimens after laser irradiation is more evident. It means that laser irradiation treatment also generates a healing effect except the enhancement effect for the damaged specimen. Healing parameter is independent of stress levels and damage degrees. The healing effect for the damaged specimen after laser irradiation is about 53% of the sum of healing and enhancement effects.
