Abstract: | Constant plastic strain-controlled and constant stress-controlled tests were performed on smooth and lightly notched specimens machined from a massive forging of 42CrMo4 steel. Comparison of the fatigue life curves plotted as function of the plastic strain amplitude and stress amplitude shows a decisive role of plastic strain amplitude. Crack initiation and the kinetics of short crack growth were studied in constant plastic strain amplitude loading and the relation between the crack growth coefficient and plastic strain amplitude was established. This is equivalent to the Coffin–Manson law and shows that the Coffin–Manson law can be interpreted in terms of short crack growth. |
