An Optimal Genetic Algorithm for Fatigue Life Control of Medium Carbon Steel in Laser Hardening Process
摘要： This study proposes a genetic algorithm-optimized model for the control of the fatigue life of AISI 1040 steel components after a high-power diode laser hardening process. First, the effect of the process parameters, i.e., laser power and scan speed, on the fatigue life of the components after the laser treatment was evaluated by using a rotating bending machine. Then, in light of the experimental findings, the optimization model was developed and tested in order to find the best regression model able to fit the experimental data in terms of the number of cycles until failure. The laser treatment was found to significantly increase the fatigue life of the irradiated samples, thus revealing its suitability for industrial applications. Finally, the application of the proposed genetic algorithm-based method led to the definition of an optimal regression model which was able to replicate the experimental trend very accurately, with a mean error of about 6%, which is comparable to the standard deviation associated with the process variability.

Fatigue Strength of Laser Beam Welded Steel-Aluminium Joints Considering Variable Amplitude Loading and Corrosive Environment
摘要： Hybrid material combinations of steel and aluminium are currently being joined by explosive welding in ship design, in order to reduce fuel consumption and increase transport weight. As an alternative to the elaborate and expensive explosive welding, a replacement for steel-aluminium adapters by means of laser beam welding in a lap joint configuration is being aimed at. Therefore, a laser beam welding process has been developed and optimised with regard to the different melting points and coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials as well as the formation of intermetallic phases due to the limited solubility of the elements. The characteristic of the weld seam, which is the result of a melt pool through the steel into the aluminium material, has a major impact on the quasi-static and cyclic strength of the joint. Especially the weld width and penetration depth have been identified as main influencing parameters. In the end, the developed laser beam welding process under spectroscopic control of the penetration depth is validated by fatigue investigations of lap joints and compact designed adapters. In addition to the fatigue strength under constant amplitude loading (CAL), the fatigue performance under variable amplitude loading (VAL) is particularly promising, even though the scatter increases from CAL to VAL and a linear damage accumulation is not applicable. A change in the fracture behaviour is explained by the intensity of the loading. Finally, the corrosion fatigue behaviour is shown by constant amplitude loading in a corrosive environment with a sodium chloride solution of 5 %, which causes a strength reduction from high cycle to long life fatigue.

Morphologically modulated laser-patterned reduced graphene oxide strain sensors for human fatigue recognition
摘要： Laser heating provides an effective method to produce thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO), it can also pattern the designed layout on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) during the reduction process. In this work, we demonstrated a flexible strain sensor based on the morphologically modulated laser-patterned reduced graphene oxide (LPG) film with a one-step process. Compared with the strain sensor using flat patterned rGO (0-1.2%) and curved-grid patterned rGO (CGPG) (0-4.1%), the strain sensor based on rectangular-grid patterned rGO (RGPG) have highest gauge factor (GF), up to 133 under 2.7% of physical deformation. Meanwhile, the RGPG strain sensors exhibit extraordinary linearity in a relatively large range of deformation (0-2.7%) and excellent endurance for over 1000 stretching-releasing circles. The RGPG strain sensor was used to monitor human fatigue. By analyzing eye blinking frequency and duration, it is possible to evaluate the fatigue level. We anticipate that the RGPG based strain sensor, prepared via a relatively simple and cost-effective process, may open up a broad spectrum of practical applications, such as driver fatigue evaluation and smart monitoring of human body movements.

Efficacy of laser therapy for exercise-induced fatigue
摘要： Background: Laser therapy is widely used for exercise-induced fatigue, while the effect among different studies remains controversial. The present study was to summary available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effect of laser therapy in subjects with exercise-induced fatigue. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify the potential RCTs from inception to October 2017. The weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Twenty RCTs involving a total of 394 individuals were included in final analysis. No significant differences were observed between the laser therapy and control for the outcomes of lactate (WMD: (cid:1)0.19; 95%CI: (cid:1)0.52 to 0.13; P = .244), repetitions (WMD: 4.44; 95%CI: (cid:1)1.43 to 10.32; P = .138), work load (WMD: 3.38; 95%CI: (cid:1)1.15 to 7.91; P = .144), time taken to perform the exercise tests (WMD: 4.42; 95%CI: (cid:1)2.33 to 11.17; P = .199), creatine kinase (WMD: (cid:1)41.80; 95%CI: (cid:1)168.78 to 85.17; P = .519), maximum voluntary contraction (WMD: 23.83; 95%CI: (cid:1)7.41 to 55.07; P = .135), mean peak forces (WMD: 2.87; 95%CI: (cid:1)1.01 to 6.76; P = = .147), and visual analog scale (VAS) (WMD: (cid:1)1.91; 95%CI: (cid:1)42.89 to 39.08; P = = .927). The results of sensitivity analysis suggested that laser therapy might play an important role on the levels of lactate (WMD: (cid:1)0.30; 95%CI: (cid:1)0.59 to (cid:1)0.01; P = = .040), maximum voluntary contraction (WMD: 33.54; 95%CI: 1.95 to 65.12; P = = .037), and VAS (WMD: (cid:1)21.00; 95%CI: (cid:1)40.78 to (cid:1)1.22; P = = .037). The results of subgroup analyses indicated no significant differences between the laser therapy and placebo for lactate and repetitions when stratified by study design, mean age, gender, and study quality. Conclusions: The findings of this meta-analysis did not indicate any significant differences between the laser therapy and placebo.

Long-term analyses of spastic muscle behavior in chronic poststroke patients after near-infrared low-level laser therapy (808 nm): a double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial
摘要： Stroke results in impairment of basic motor functions, such as muscle weakness in limbs affected by spasticity, leading to peripheral fatigue and impaired functionality. The clinical use of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has provided major advances in the treatment of muscular disorders and prevention of muscle fatigue. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of two distinct therapies in biceps spasticity of chronic hemiparetic patients. We analyzed range of elbow motion, torque, electromyography, and mean spectral frequency after 10 sessions of PBMT (Laser 100 mW, 808 nm, 159.24 J/cm2/point, 5 J/point); PBMT active or placebo was associated with exoskeleton-assisted functional treatment. A double-blind placebo-controlled sequential clinical trial was conducted with 12 healthy volunteers and 15 poststroke patients who presented upper-limb spasticity. The healthy volunteers performed only the evaluation protocol, and the poststroke volunteers participated in three consecutive phases (PBMT, PBMT + exoskeleton, placebo + PBMT) with a washout period of 4 weeks between each phase. We could observe significant increases in range of elbow motion after PBMT from 57.7 ± 14 to 84.3 ± 27.6 degrees (p < 0.001). The root mean square (RMS) values also increased after PBMT + exoskeleton from 23.2 ± 15 to 34.9 ± 21 μV (p = 0.0178). Our results suggest that the application of PBMT may contribute to an increased range of elbow motion and muscle fiber recruitment, increases in muscle strength, and, hence, to increase signal conduction on spastic muscle fibers in spastic patients.

Influence of surface topography on fatigue behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy by laser powder bed fusion
摘要： This article deals with the understanding of the influence of surface topography on fatigue behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy specimens produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The same laser parameters and scan strategy were used for all specimens, giving a sample density higher than 99.5 %. Two different surface topographies were obtained by using the top and side surfaces of the specimens. The surface topography and morphology were investigated by optical surface profilometry and focus variation microscopy. Four-point bending fatigue test was performed on specimens with top and side surfaces as the highest stressed surface respectively. Machined specimens were used as reference. The features of the fracture surface, such as crack initiation and propagation, were analyzed by focus variation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Both, fatigue results and fracture surface investigations, were correlated and discussed in relation to surface topography and microstructure, as well as manufacturing parameters.

Modelling the influence of laser drilled recast layer thickness on the fatigue performance of CMSX-4
摘要： This paper introduces a novel approach to fatigue life prediction modelling considering the laser drilling effect on film cooling holes of turbine vanes. The methodology proposed is based on a stress-life model such as the Basquin law and the introduction of manufacturing damage effect. The proposed empirical model gives a unique versatility compared to other stress-life models by considering surface damage such as the recast layer produced by the laser drilling process. The proposed empirical model has been thoroughly tested and validated using existing fatigue data. The statistical analysis shows that the proposed model is adequate for estimating the fatigue life of laser drilled specimens considering the recast layer thicknesses effect. The proposed model also can estimate the life of untested specimens even when only a small sample of fatigue data is available, thereby reducing the required testing data.

Effect of Laser Beam Welding on the Cyclic Material Behavior of the Press-hardened Martensitic Chromium Steel X46Cr13
摘要： For the application of high-strength materials in welded joints, a point of principle is how the strength of the sheet metal is affected by cyclic loading and by welding. For the investigation of the cyclic material behavior of the press-hardened martensitic chromium steel X46Cr13, strain-controlled fatigue tests were performed and evaluated. The aim of compensating the limitations in the weldability of this press-hardened material is achieved by a reduced heat input of the laser beam welding and a defined heat treatment. The effect of laser beam welding on the fatigue properties is shown by the cyclic behavior of butt joints. The cyclic material behavior is the basis of strain-based fatigue assessment approaches. Both cyclic stress-strain curves and strain-life curves are used for the fatigue life estimation. No clear difference between the press-hardened base material and butt joints has been found in the cyclic stress-strain curves. Transient effects are found by comparison of hysteresis loops of the initial loading, at the cyclically stabilized state and at crack initiation. Cyclic hardening is concluded from the initial loading and the cyclically stabilized state. By comparison of strain-life curves, a difference in the number of cycles to crack initiation between the base material and butt joints is found. Cycles to crack initiation of butt joints tested under strain control result in over 50 % of the base material’s fatigue strength at 1·106 cycles to failure.

Surface modification methods for fatigue properties improvement of laser-beam-welded Ti-6Al-4V butt joints
摘要： Surface and internal defects formed upon laser beam welding (LBW) have been recognized as a serious problem because they cause stress concentration leading to premature failure of a welded component. This paper seeks to remedy these weld imperfections by applying various post-weld treatments and analyzing their effect on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) performance of welded joints. High efficiency of laser-based post-processing techniques after welding such as laser surface remelting (LSR) and laser shock peening (LSP) was demonstrated and compared with conventional approaches. The study reveals that welding porosity determines the internal crack initiation of the surface-treated weldments. Influence of process parameters on porosity level and the HCF properties is presented in detail. Based on an extensive experimental study, practical guidelines needed to mitigate the notch effect from defects and to maximize the fatigue performance of the laser-welded Ti-6Al-4V butt joints are given.
