Influence of mean stress and building orientation on the fatigue properties of sub-unital thin-strut miniaturized Ti6Al4V specimens additively manufactured via Laser-Powder Bed Fusion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fatigue is a complex, localized phenomenon affecting lattice structures at the level of struts and junctions. This study examines the fatigue properties of Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) Ti6Al4V miniaturized strut-like specimens, printed in four distinct building orientations (0°, 15°, 45°, 90°), and subjected to four stress ratios (R=0.1, R=-1, R=-4, R=10). Experimental data, summarized in Haigh diagrams, align well with predictions from the SWT and Walker methods. Notably, the dependency on mean stress diminishes as the building angle increases, attributed to progressively lower surface roughness which primarily drive failure at R=0.1 and R=-1. In contrast, vertical specimens at R=-4 display a pronounced susceptibility to sub-surface defects affecting their fatigue strength, a finding corroborated by CT scan analyses. Additionally, the influence of buckling on fatigue performance is investigated and incorporated into the Haigh diagrams. These findings can contribute to a more informed design of L-PBF Ti6Al4V lattice structures against fatigue.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
