Fatigue damage of advanced metallic materials

由于材料的机械疲劳而导致的关键部件失效可能会导致 重大材料和/或人员损失（例如：flight SW 1380-2018;植入物失效）。 基础知识不足，无法准确预测 机械部件承受重复载荷。加拿大研究主席 特别是旨在了解和量化之间的关系， 疲劳性能，表面完整性和服务环境，目前是 以及开发所需的先进测试和检查方法 为理论和数值建模提供可靠的数据。应用 运输（飞机和桥梁）、生物医学（植入物）和能源生产 （水电基础设施）。

Failures of critical components due to mechanical fatigue of material can cause significant material and/or human losses (ex: flght SW 1380-2018; implant failures). Insufficient fundamental knowledge prevents accurate service life prediction of mechanical components under repeated loads. The proposed Canada Research Chair specifically aims at understanding and quantifying the relationships between the fatigue properties, the surface integrity and service environment which is currently missing, as well as developing advanced testing and inspection methodologies required to generate reliable data for theoretical and numerical modeling. Applications in transportation (aircrafts and bridges), biomedical (implants) and energy production (hydroelectric infrastructures) are anticipated.
