Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation in fatigue and of crack propagation under a monotonic load were studied in high strength aluminum alloys. Part I is a detailed report on the use of scanning electron microscopy in fatigue crack propagation research. The results are discussed with reference to the theories of fatigue crack propagation. Part II is a documentation of crack initiation and stage I fatigue fracture in aluminum alloys. The existence of non-propagating cracks in aluminum alloys is discussed by comparing the endurance limit and the stress intensity threshold for non-propagating fatigue cracks. Part III REPORTS THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND CYCLIC RATE ON CRACK GROWTH IN 2024 T3 aluminum alloy. Part IV deals with the role of the cold work of the plastic zone at the tip of a crack on the mechanisms of fatigue crack growth rate. Part V is a study of the correlation between the fracture toughnews index K and the tensile properties. This work was undertaken to understand the dependance of the critical stress intensity factor on aging, the workhardening exponent, and plane strain ductility. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are presented of a series of fatigue tests to study crack propagation and the resulting stress distributions in tension panels. The panels were all of the same general design, and configurations varied mainly in the relative amount of cross-sectional area in the skin, stiffeners, and flanges. The panels were constructed of 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. It was found that the average rate of crack growth was slower in panels made of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy than in panels made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. All cracks initiated in the skin, and the slowest crack growth was measured in configurations where the highest percentage of cross-sectional area was in the stiffeners. Strain-gage surveys were made to determine the redistribution of stress as the crack grew across the panels. As a crack approached a given point in the skin, the stress at that point increased rapidly. The stress in the stiffeners also increased as the crack approached the stiffeners. During the propagation of the crack the stress was not distributed uniformly in the remaining area.

This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Research on the Strength and Fracture of Materials: Volume 2Bs—Fatigue contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Fracture, held at the University of Waterloo, Canada, in June 1977. The papers review the state of the art with respect to fracture in a wide range of materials such as metals and alloys. This volume is comprised of 85 chapters and opens by discussing the metallographic aspects of fatigue in pearlitic structures and the dislocation diffusion mechanism of fatigue crack formation. The reader is then introduced to localized plastic deformation and fracture in slip bands during fatigue loading of age hardening aluminum alloys; the microstructure of fatigue fracture surfaces in titanium; mechanisms of liquid metal embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion-fatigue; and the fatigue behavior of macroscopic slag inclusions in steam turbo-generator rotor steels. A model for fatigue crack initiation in polycrystalline solids is also described. This monograph will be a useful resource for metallurgists, materials scientists, and structural and mechanical engineers.

Download or read book Fatigue of Materials and Structures written by Claude Bathias and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of mechanical structures with improved and predictable durability cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue damage and more specifically the relationships between the microstructure of materials and their fatigue properties. Written by leading experts in the field, this book (which is complementary to Fatigue of Materials and Structures: Application to Damage and Design, also edited by Claude Bathias and André Pineau), provides an authoritative, comprehensive and unified treatment of the mechanics and micromechanisms of fatigue in metals, polymers and composites. Each chapter is devoted to one of the major classes of materials or to different types of fatigue damage, thereby providing overall coverage of the field. The book deals with crack initiation, crack growth, low-cycle fatigue, gigacycle fatigue, shorts cracks, fatigue micromechanisms and the local approach to fatigue damage, corrosion fatigue, environmental effects and variable amplitude loadings, and will be an important and much used reference for students, practicing engineers and researchers studying fracture and fatigue in numerous areas of mechanical, structural, civil, design, nuclear, and aerospace engineering as well as materials science.

Book excerpt: The objective of this investigation was to further the understanding of the mechanisms by which fatigue crack propagation occurs in aluminum alloys. Two basic techniques were used to investigate and simulate the events occurring within the plastic zone preceding fracture. The plastic deformation occuring within the plastic zone of the crack tip was simulated by low cycle fatigue tests. These tests were largely unsuccessful because of the significant influence the crack initiation stage has on fatigue life and a relative insensitivity to environmental effects. The response of the crack tip to tensile holds was determined by acoustically determined crack closure measurements. The limited results reported here were encouraging and the crack closure investigation offers possibilities of describing the fatigue cracks response to simple loading spectra. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of environment on fatigue behavior are quite intimately related to such test variables as stress intensity, cyclic frequency, and temperature. The effect of these variables has been shown to be quite complex. However, a consistent pattern of behavior is beginning to emerge which, it is hoped, will lead to a considerably changed understanding of the corrosion-fatigue process. It is considered probable that an increased understanding of the corrosion-fatigue process will also contribute measureably to an improved understanding of general fatigue processes. Material variables such as composition, directionality of properties, and microstructure, have important effects on corrosion-fatigue behavior of aluminum alloys. However, it appears that these variables, at least in gaseous environments, may be important largely because of their effects on the mechanical behavior of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, studies in seawater suggest that these variables become increasingly important as the corrosive nature of the environment increases. This memorandum discusses in detail the effects of both test variables and material variables on corrosion fatigue. In addition, current theories of corrosion-fatigue mechanisms are outlined, and several methods of preventing corrosion fatigue are suggested. (Author).
