Book Environmentally Affected Near Threshold Fatigue Crack Growth in Steels

Download or read book Environmentally Affected Near Threshold Fatigue Crack Growth in Steels written by S. Suresh and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmentally affected fatigue crack propagation in steels is described for ultralow growth rates (below 10-6 mm/cycle) in terms of the role of crack surface corrosion debris in promoting crack closure. It is shown that the reported effects of gaseous and aqueous environments (air, water, hydrogen, helium, etc.) on near-threshold crack growth in lower strength steels are consistent primarily with an oxide-induced crack closure mechanism. Moist atmospheres, such as humid air and water, are shown to promote the formation of oxide deposits within the crack, which at low load ratios are thickened by fretting-assisted oxidation to maximum thicknesses comparable with cracktip opening displacements. Using ultrasonic techniques, this is shown to increase closure loads and to lower effective alternating stress intensities at the crack tip. Observations that near-threshold growth in dry helium is similar to that in dry hydrogen gas and faster than in air, are shown to be consistent with such concepts since both environments provide a dry atmosphere limiting oxide formation. Extensive data on near-threshold corrosion-fatigue crack growth in ultrahigh-strength (300-M) and lower-strength (21⁄4Cr-1Mo and SA516) steels are examined in the context of this mechanism, and it is found that the threshold for no crack growth (?Ko) is consistent with a maximum excess oxide thickness approximately equal to the pulsating crack-tip displacement (?CTOD). The implications of this and other microscopic mechanisms of closure are discussed in the light of microstructural and environmental influences on near-threshold fatigue.

Book Fatigue Crack Propagation in Some Ultrahigh Strength Steels

Download or read book Fatigue Crack Propagation in Some Ultrahigh Strength Steels written by Che-Yu Li and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue-crack propagation studies were carried out on some ultrahigh-strength steels in controlled environments using the fracture-mechanics approach. The steels investigated include a medium-carbon low-alloy ultrahigh-strength steel tempered to two strength and toughness levels, a 250-grade 18Ni maraging steel, and a 300-grade 18Ni steel. The results indicate that, in the inert environment, the rates of fatigue-crack propagation in these steels are about the same and show no obvious correlation with other mechanical properties of the steels. The sensitivity of the rates of fatigue-crack propagation to the presence of moisture in the test environment shows rough correlation with plane-strain fracture toughness for steels of similar composition. The role of water vapor in promoting fatigue-crack propagation is considered. The results are also discussed in terms of existing theories and metallographic observations.

Book IIW Recommendations for the Fatigue Assessment of Welded Structures By Notch Stress Analysis

Download or read book IIW Recommendations for the Fatigue Assessment of Welded Structures By Notch Stress Analysis written by W Fricke and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notch stress approach for fatigue assessment of welded joints is based on the highest elastic stress at the weld toe or root. In order to avoid arbitrary or infinite stress results, a rounded shape with a reference radius instead of the actual sharp toe or root is usually assumed. IIW recommendations for the fatigue assessment of welded structures by notch stress analysis reviews different proposals for reference radii together with associated S-N curves. Detailed recommendations are given for the numerical analysis of notch stress by the finite or boundary element method. Several aspects are discussed, such as the structural weakening by keyhole-shaped notches and the consideration of multiaxial stress states. Appropriate S-N curves are presented for the assessment of the fatigue strength of different materials. Finally, four examples illustrate the application of the approach as well as the variety of structures which can be analysed and the range of results that can be obtained from different models.

Book Mixed Model Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior in a High Strength Steel

Download or read book Mixed Model Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior in a High Strength Steel written by Richard E. Link and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the currently available methods for predicting fatigue crack growth in structures do not consider effects due to mixed-mode loading. This is partly due to the limited information available concerning the fatigue crack growth under mixed mode loading. Previous investigations of mixed mode effects on fatigue crack growth have shown that under combined opening and in-plane shear loading, the cracks turn abruptly so that the in-plane shear mode is eliminated. Very little data is generated before the crack curvature eliminates the mixed-mode loading. The changing orientation of the crack during the test makes analysis of the problem difficult and may cloud the intrinsic fatigue crack growth rate behavior under mixed-mode loading. Situations can exist in engineering structures in which cracks may grow in a self-similar manner, even under the influence of mixed-mode loading. Examples of such situations are radial cracks in bearing rates and transverse cracks in rotating shafts under shear and bending loads. The cracks may not change orientation because the in-plane shear component is fully reversed. It is necessary to understand the effects of mixed mode loading on fatigue crack growth in order to properly predict the behavior of these components.

Book Effects of Strength and Grain Size on Near threshold Fatigue Crack Growth in Ultra high Strength Steel

Download or read book Effects of Strength and Grain Size on Near threshold Fatigue Crack Growth in Ultra high Strength Steel written by and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue tests were performed on ultra-high strength steels to assess (i) the influence of strength at constant grain size, and (ii) the influence of grain size at constant strength, on threshold stress intensity and near-threshold crack propagation rates. The results constitute part of a larger program of research to characterize the microstructural influences on fatigue crack propagation at growth rates less than 10−5 mm/cycle in an attempt to provide a basis for the design of alloys resistant to low growth rate fatigue failure.
