Semi-elliptical fatigue crack growth in 304 L stainless steel, under biaxial loading, was investigated. Compared to those of through-cracks under uniaxial loading, the growth rate of surface cracks is increased by a non-singular compressive stress and reduced by a tensile stress, when R = 0. Plasticity-induced crack closure under biaxial loading was investigated through 3D finite element simulations with node release. Roughness and phase-transformation-induced closure effects were also discussed. The interactions in two-directional crack networks under biaxial tension were investigated numerically. It appears that the presence of orthogonal cracks should not be ignored. The beneficial influence of interaction-induced mode-mixities was highlighted. 相似文献

The rates of growth of short fatigue cracks initiated from a notch are much greater than the rates of growth of long fatigue cracks for the same values of K. A decrease in the strength of materials caused by aging affects the behavior of long cracks. The geometric form of the notch strongly affects the behavior of short cracks. The growth rate of a short crack initiated from a sharp notch decreases and attains a minimum value at a length of 0.45 mm, which is far beyond the region of its influence. However, short cracks initiated from blunt notches exhibit slower growth in the region of stress concentration than outside this region. Strain fields induced by deformation of the tip of the notch are not the only factor inhibiting the propagation of short cracks from notches. To explain the behavior of a short crack initiated at a notch, one must take into account some other factors, in particular, crack closure.Published in Fiziko-Khimicheskaya Mekhanika Materialov, Vol. 31, No. 1, pp. 39–44, January – February, 1995. 相似文献

This paper gives an overview over the micromechanical modeling approaches of short fatigue cracks. Until now many approaches have been presented in the literature, which differ significantly in their degree of complexity ranging from simple empirical or analytical models to complex models based on numerical solutions. In recent years different trends were observed: On the one hand detailed models are presented, which describe the propagation of a microstructurally short fatigue crack in a physically sound way based on discrete dislocations. However, their application is somewhat limited due to their complexity regarding the application in real microstructures. Thus, another trend is to develop models closely related to experimental research work to identify and focus on the main aspects of short fatigue crack growth. 相似文献

We analyze the life duration of a magnesium-lithium alloy subjected to biaxial low-cycle fatigue under out-of-phase combined tension-compression and torsion. It was discovered that the life duration depends on the angle of the phase shift between the two perpendicular cyclic loads. The maximum life duration is attained in the case where the phase shift is absent, i.e., =0. It was also shown that deformation always remains plastic if exceeds a critical angle c, i.e., no unloading of the specimen may occur. Fatigue properties are studied using the von Mises equivalent stresses and strains. We also present data on the evolution of the density of deformation twinning. It is assumed that the decrease in life duration is explained by permanent changes in the direction of loading in the presence of a phase shift, which inhibits the process of stabilization of plastic deformation in the constituent grains of polycrystals.Published in Fiziko-Khimicheskaya Mekhanika Materialov, Vol. 31, No. 1, pp. 19–30, January – February, 1995. 相似文献

In this paper, the near-threshold fatigue behavior of physically through-thickness short cracks and of long cracks in a low alloy steel is investigated by experiments in ambient air. Physically through-thickness short fatigue cracks are created by gradually removing the plastic wake of long cracks in compact tension specimens. The crack closure is systematically measured using the compliance variation technique with numerical data acquisition and filtering for accurate detection of the stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack opening. Based on the experimental results, the nominal threshold SIF range is shown to be dependent on the crack length and the characteristic of the crack wake which is strongly dependent on the loading history. The effective threshold SIF range and the relation between the crack propagation rate and the effective SIF range after the crack closure correction are shown to be independent on crack length and loading history. The shielding effect of the crack closure is shown to be related to the wake length and load history. The effective threshold SIF range and the relationship between the crack growth rate and the effective SIF range appear to be unique for this material in ambient air. These properties can be considered as specific fatigue properties of the couple material/ambient air environment. 相似文献

Interaction and evolution of short fatigue cracks 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Distinguishing the different contributions to fatigue damage of short cracks having different sizes and locations on the specimen surface, three new concepts, referred to as effective short fatigue cracks (ESFCs), dominant effective short fatigue cracks (DESFC), and density of ESFCs, respectively, are introduced to facilitate an understanding of the mechanism of interaction and evolution of short cracks. These concepts are interrelated and in conjunction produce an 'effective short fatigue crack criterion'. Replica observations of 19 smooth axial specimens of 1Cr19Ni9Ti stainless steel weld metal during low-cycle fatigue tests reveal that the short cracks contribute to the fatigue damage of specimens due to the formation of a critical density of ESFCs. The density reflects the local microstructural growth conditions ahead of the DESFC tips. The DESFC behaviour is a result of interactive short cracks, and this behaviour is deemed suitable to describe the collective behaviour of short cracks. In the microstructural short-crack stage, the DESFC are located in the weakest zone. Due to an irregular microstructural barrier effect, the crack density is higher in this zone and increases with fatigue cycling to reach a maximum value at the transition point into the physical short-crack stage. Then, due to the effects of accelerating coalescence and the DESFC size shielding the formation of new cracks, the density decreases rapidly and tends gradually to a saturation value. This is why the short-crack growth rate is high initially and tends gradually to that of long-crack behaviour. The difference and change in local microstructural growth conditions ahead of DESFC tips are the intrinsic cause of the statistical behaviour of short cracks and the scatter of fatigue lives. 相似文献

In the high-cycle fatigue regime, it is assumed that crack initiation mechanisms and short fatigue crack propagation processes govern fatigue life of a component. Moreover, it is now becoming accepted that the conventional fatigue limit does not imply complete reversibility of plastic strain and is connected to crack initiation. However, interaction of the crack tip with microstructural barriers, such as, e.g. grain boundaries or second phases, leads to a decrease and eventually to a stop in the crack propagation. In the present contribution, examples for propagating and non-propagating conditions of short fatigue cracks in the microstructure of a duplex steel are given, quantified by means of automated EBSD. To classify the results within the scope of predicting the service life for HCF- and VHCF-loading conditions, a numerical model based on the boundary element method has been developed, describing crack propagation by means of partially irreversible dislocation glide on crystallographic slip planes in a polycrystalline model microstructure (Voronoi cells). This concept is capable to account for the strong scattering in fatigue life for very small strain amplitudes and to contribute to the concept of tailored microstructures for improved cyclic-loading behaviour. 相似文献

The cyclic fatigue behaviour of long and microstructurally short cracks in a 10 μm grain-size alumina has been investigated.
This material was found to be stress sensitive, a modest drop in applied stress resulting in a considerable lifetime enhancement.
The growth of long cracks was studied using the circular compact tension geometry and was found to follow a Paris law behaviour.
The crack path was entirely intergranular in this material with long fatigue crack growth governed by the degradation of crack-wake
bridging. Short-crack growth was investigated using indented discs in a biaxial flexure geometry. Short cracks were observed
to grow at lower values of applied ΔK than long cracks, increasing with crack length as bridging of the crack wake increased. The fatigue crack growth of AD90
alumina was also investigated by in situ testing within the specimen chamber of an SEM. The long-crack behaviour was found to be similar to the 10 μm grain-size alumina
and other data reported in the literature. However, the crack path followed a mixture of transgranular and intergranular fracture
and discontinuous in nature with frequent arrests. The crack-advancement mechanisms in these two alumina materials are different
and affect the short-crack behaviour. However, in both cases the long-crack behaviour is dominated by crack-wake effects.

In the case of metal fibre concretes under biaxial compression, the gain of strength yielded by metal fibres can be considerable. Using a biaxial press with brush bearing platens (to avoid lateral confinement), we verified this result and studied the behaviour of metal fibre concrete subjected to biaxial loadings. Two different types of fibres were used. The results obtained demonstrate the following points: the addition of fibres makes the material much more ductile; there is an influence of the type of fibre on mode of failure, a gain of strength and an influence of the orientation of the fibres. 相似文献

Recent accidents involving railway rails have aroused demand for improved and more efficient rail maintenance strategies to reduce the risk of unexpected rail fracture. Numerical tools can aid in generating maintenance strategies: this investigation deals with the numerical modelling and analysis of short crack growth in rails. Factors that influence the fatigue propagation of short surface‐breaking cracks (head checks) in rails are assessed. A proposed numerical procedure incorporates finite element (FE) calculations to predict short crack growth conditions for rolling contact fatigue (RCF) loading. A parameterised FE model for the rolling‐sliding contact of a cylinder on a semi‐infinite half space, with a short surface breaking crack, presented here, is used in linear‐elastic and elastic–plastic FE calculations of short crack propagation, together with fracture mechanics theory. The crack length and orientation, crack face friction, and coefficient of surface friction near the contact load are varied. The FE model is verified for five examples in the literature. Comparison of results from linear‐elastic and elastic–plastic FE calculations, shows that the former cannot describe short RCF crack behaviour properly, in particular 0.1–0.2 mm long (head check) cracks with a shallow angle; elastic–plastic analysis is required instead. 相似文献

Studies on crack growth in a panel with an inclined crack subjected to biaxial tensile fatigue loading are presented. The strain energy density factor approach is used to characterize the fatigue crack growth. The crack growth trajectory as a function of the initial crack angle and the biaxiality ratio is also predicted. The analysis is applied to 7075-T6 aluminium alloy to predict the dependence of crack growth rate on the crack angle. The effect of crack angle on the cyclic life of the component and on the cyclic life ratio is presented and discussed. 相似文献

Behaviour of fatigue cracks emanating from circular notches in Ti-6Al-4V under bending 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper is aimed at evaluating the behaviour of small cracks emanating from notches in the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy. Pulsating four point bending tests were performed at a nominal stress ratio of 0.1 and a frequency of 15 Hz on prismatic specimens with a central hole. The conditions of initiation and early propagation of fatigue cracks were investigated at two relatively high nominal stress levels corresponding to 56.6 and 100% of the 0.2% yield stress of the material. Microstructural effects were discussed. To this purpose a specific device based on the ‘in situ’ detection of cracks by photomicroscopy was developed. Corresponding results were analysed quantitatively considering the effect of the yielded region at the notch tip by elastic–plastic finite element modelling. Furthermore, information regarding the sites of fatigue crack initiation and propagation path were discussed on the basis of careful fractographic analysis of the specimens. The importance of the two phase α, β microstructure on the material damage was highlighted and correlated to the observed oscillations in the crack growth rate. Mechanically and microstructurally long cracks were correlated by linear‐elastic fracture mechanics. 相似文献

This paper is centred on the role of the T-stress during mode I fatigue crack growth. The effect of a T-stress is studied through its effect on plastic blunting at crack tip. As a matter of fact, fatigue crack growth is characterized by the presence of striations on the fracture surface, which implies that the crack grows by a mechanism of plastic blunting and re-sharpening (Laird C. The influence of metallurgical structure on the mechanisms of fatigue crack propagation. In: Fatigue crack propagation, STP 415. Philadelphia: ASTM; 1967. p. 131–68 [8]). In the present study, plastic blunting at crack tip is a global variable ρ, which is calculated using the finite element method. ρ is defined as the average value of the permanent displacement of the crack faces over the whole K-dominance area. The presence of a T-stress modifies significantly the evolution of plastic deformation within the crack tip plastic zone as a consequence of plastic blunting at crack tip. A yield stress intensity factor KY is defined for the cracked structure, as the stress intensity factor for which plastic blunting at crack tip exceeds a given value. The variation of the yield stress intensity factor was studied as a function of the T-stress. It is found that the T-stress modifies significantly the yield point of the cracked structure and that the yield surface in a (T, KI) plane is independent of the crack length. Finally, a yield criterion is proposed for the cracked structure. This criterion is an extent of the Von-Mises yield criterion to the problem of the cracked structure. The proposed criterion matches almost perfectly the results obtained from the FEM. The evolution of the yield surface of the cracked structure in a (T, KI) plane was also studied for a few loading schemes. These results should develop a plasticity model for the cracked structure taking into account the effect of the T-stress. 相似文献

Elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics solutions are modified to predict the behaviour of short cracks. An effective crack length, l
0 is introduced into the solutions for both the linear elastic stress intensity factor and the J integral. Crack growth results for short cracks, in both elastic and plastic strain fields of unnotched specimens, when interpreted in terms of the modified solutions, show excellent agreement with elastic long crack data. The modified J integral solutions are extended to plastically strained notches, and the solutions obtained are tested in the correlation of data for growth of sort cracks near notches of varying severity with data for long crack under elastic loading. Although constant stress amplitude tests of these notches gave crack growth rate versus crack length curves which varied from monotonically increasing for blunt notches, to an initial decrease followed by an increase of sharp notches, all the data fell within the long crack data when correlated by the J integral solutions. Conversely, these solutions can be used to predict elastic and inelastic short crack growth curves for notches of various severities.
Résumé On a modifié les solutions de mécanique de rupture élastique et élastoplastique afin de prédire le comportement de fissures courtes. On a introduit une longueur effective de fissure l 0 dans les solutions donuant le facteur d'intensité de contrainte linéaire élastique et l'intégrale J. Les résultats de croissance de fissure dans le cas de fissures courtes dans des éprouvettes non entaillées soumises à des champs de déformation élastique ou plastique, font état d'un excellent accord avec les données afférant à des fissures longues en condition élastique, lorsqu'ils sont interprétés sous forme de solutions modifiées. Les solutions des intégrales J sont extrapolées aux cas des entailles sollicitées dans le domaine plastique, et les solutions obtenues sont éprouvées dans une corrélation des données de croissance de fissures courtes au voisinage d'une entaille de sévérités diverses, avec les données de croissance de fissures longues sous mise en charge élastique.Les essais à amplitude de contrainte constante sur ces entailles conduisent à une vitesse de croissance qui, en fonction de la longuer de fissure, varie d'un accroissement régulier dans le cas d'entailles arrondies, à une diminution suivie d'un accroissement, dans le cas d'entailles aiguës. Ce nonobstant, toutes les données se sont révélées similaires aux données pour de longues fissures, lorsque l'on établit la corrélation des solutions des intégrales J.Complémentairement, ces solutions peuvent être utilisées pour prédire les courbes de croissance des fissures courtes élastique et inélastique, dans le cas d'entailles de sévérités différentes.相似文献

In this study, the initiation and early growth behaviour of short fatigue cracks in En 7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions was investigated, by generating and evaluating data on the growth of short fatigue cracks under various stress levels and stress ratios for the six principal specimen orientations. Short cracks usually initiated at the debonded interfaces between the matrix and the inclusions. If there was no debonding, cracking sometimes occurred in the inclusions. In the early stages, short cracks propagated by a mechanism of inclusion influenced growth. Under low stress levels, usually one short crack was initiated which dominated most of the fatigue life, while under high stress levels there was multicrack interaction.MST/3249A 相似文献
