| Title: | A Modified Approach for Predicting Fracture of Steel Components under Combined Large Inelastic Axial and Shear Strain Cycles |
| Principal Investigators: | Hussam Mahmoud |
| University: | Colorado State University |
| Status: | Completed |
| Year: | 2014 |
| Grant #: | DTRT13-G-UTC38 (MAP21) |
| Project #: | MPC-446 |
| Keywords: | axial loads, bridge members, fatigue (mechanics), fracture properties, inelastic stress, service life, shear strain, steel bridges |
The objectives of this project are as follows: 1) Collect experimental data on identifying mathematical models for predicting low-cycle fatigue (LCF) and ultra-low cycle (ULC) fatigue behavior in metallic structures; 2) Generate data from experimental testing to be used for predicting LCF and ULCF response of bridge girders; and 3) Develop a framework for fracture predictions.
