Multiscale Dynamics of Damage-Failure Transitions and Structures Control Under Intensive Loading

High-cycle and very-high-cycle fatigue is the most important fundamental and engineering problem for a variety of applications. Series of accidents caused by the gas turbine engine failure (Cowles, Int J Fract 80:147–163, 1996; Shanyavsky, Simulation of fatigue fracture of metals. Synergetics in aviation. Monografiya, Ufa, 2007), along with high costs of service life estimation and potential costs of development of new constructions, stimulated advanced concepts of national programs for high-cycle and very-high-cycle fatigue (Bathias and Paris, Gigacycle fatigue in mechanical practice. Dekker Publisher Co., Marcel, 2005; Botvina, Fracture: kinetics, mechanisms, general laws. Nauka, Moscow, 2008; Hong et al., Metall Mater Trans A 43(8):2753–2762, 2012; Mughrabi, Int J Fatigue 28:1501–1508, 2006; Nicolas, Int J Fatigue 21:221–231, 1999; Nicholas, High cycle fatigue. A mechanics of material perspective. Elsevier, Oxford, 2006; Paris et al., Eng Fract Mech 75:299–305, 2008; Peters and Ritchie, Eng Fract Mech 67:193–207, 2000; Sakai, J Solid Mech Mater Eng 3(3):425–439, 2009; Shanyavsky, Simulation of fatigue fracture of metals. Synergetics in aviation. Monografiya, Ufa, 2007), as being based on new fundamental results of fatigue evaluation. The programs aim at developing approaches using basic research findings, modern methods of laboratory modeling, and quantitative analysis of structural changes in order to reveal fracture stages and “criticality” mechanisms in transition to macroscopic fracture. A strong interest in the gigacycle range (109 cycles) of fatigue loads is provided by the progress in the creation of new (nano- and submicrostructural) materials with a very-high-cycle fatigue life and by breakthrough tendencies in technologies requiring such life in aviation motor industry (Nicolas, Int J Fatigue 21:221–231, 1999).
