| Abstract: | A mechanical model of a laser transformation hardening specimen with a crack in the middle of the hardened layer is developed to quantify the effects of the residual stress and hardness gradient on crack driving force in terms of J-integral. It is assumed that the crack in the middle of the hardened layer is created after laser transformation hardening. Using a Double Cantilever Beam model, the analytic solutions, which can be used to quantify the effects of the residual stress and the hardness gradient resulting from laser transformation hardening on crack driving force, are obtained. A numerical example shows the crack driving force decrease is very sensitive to the residual compressive stress increase. |
