Comparability of structured and flat reference specimens made of thin sheet metal

  • The literature review reveals that the honeycomb-structured thin sheet metals are not adequately investigated with regard to their fatigue strength. A question that remains almost completely ignored in the process is the direct comparability of structured thin sheet metals with flat reference specimens. A thin sheet is not a classic specimen to determine the fatigue strength because of the known problem of the fracture mechanics. Structured thin sheet metals of deep-drawing steel DC04 with a thickness of 0.5 mm were examined. Flat specimens were used as reference material. The frequency analysis was used for comparison. Fundamental differences in the mechanical behavior between flat and structured sheets under cyclic load were observed. Whereas an extremely flat S-N curve in the low-cycle region with a high slope coefficient was observed for the smooth thin sheets, the structured specimens show a curve typical for notched specimens. Moreover, the smooth sheets have a specific cyclic hardening and/or softening behavior.

The state of plane stress of a fine sheet in contrast to a multi-axial one for the structured sheet complicates the direct comparison. For this reason, such a comparison with respect to their fatigue strength in the Wohler diagram should only be considered with caution.show moreshow less
