Size effects on residual stress and fatigue crack growth in friction stir welded 2195-T8 aluminium - Part I: Experiments [PDF]
, 2011 Residual stress fields were measured in three different sizes of Compact-Tension (C(T)) and eccentrically loaded single edge notch (ESE(T)) specimens containing transverse or longitudinal welds. The effect of size on residual stress profiles was studied.

Micromechanisms of short fatigue crack growth in an Al-Si piston alloy [PDF]
, 2014 The short fatigue crack growth behaviour of a model cast aluminium piston alloy has been investigated. This has been achieved using a combination of fatigue crack replication methods at various intervals during fatigue testing and post-mortem analysis of

Fatigue crack growth behaviour and life prediction for 2324-T39 and 7050-T7451 aluminium alloys under truncated load spectra [PDF]
, 2010 This paper presents a study of crack growth behaviour in aluminium alloys 2324- T39 and 7050-T7451 subjected to flight-by-flight load spectra at different low- stress truncation levels. Crack branching was observed in the higher truncation levels for the

Craze and Crack Growths in Polycarbonate
Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1974 AbstractCraze and crack growth have been studied in polycarbonate. The results are correlated by a stress intensity factor derived from fracture mechanics. A new model taking creep into account is proposed to explain the experimental results. Theoretical predictions derived from the model are compared with experimental results.

Modeling of creep-fatigue interaction effects on crack growth at elevated temperatures
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The well-known load frequency effect on creep-fatigue crack growth is explained by the interactions between fatigue and creep loading and is quantified using the concept of plasticity-induced crack closure.

Crack tip strain evolution and crack closure during overload of a growing fatigue crack [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 It is generally accepted that fatigue crack growth is retarded after an overload, which has been explained either by plasticity-induced crack closure or near-tip residual stress.

An inverse method for evaluating weld residual stresses via fatigue crack growth test data [PDF]
, 2010 This paper presents an inverse method for calculating the thermal residual stresses in welded specimens via measured fatigue crack growth rates. Firstly, fracture-mechanics superposition law has been used to extract the stress intensity factor due to ...

Controlling fatigue crack paths for crack surface marking and growth investigations
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015 While it is well known that fatigue crack growth in metals that display confined slip, such as high strength aluminium alloys, develop crack paths that are responsive to the loading direction and the local microstructural orientation, it is less well ...
