Numerical Modelling of Roughness and Plasticity Induced Crack Closure Effects in Fatigue [PDF]
The incidence of roughness induced fatigue crack closure has been studied by finite element modelling. Closure analyses in the literature have been reviewed and been shown to lack a reasonable treatment of: (a) propagating elastic-plastic cracks, and (b) the influence of the characteristically inhomogeneous plastic deformation associated with near ...

Hydrogen-Accelerated Fatigue of API X60 Pipeline Steel and Its Weld
In this work, the hydrogen fatigue of pipeline steel X60, its girth welds and weld defects were investigated through in situ fatigue testing. A novel in situ gaseous hydrogen charging fatigue set-up was developed, which involves a sample geometry that ...

The effect of grain size on the fatigue overload behaviour of nickel
The fatigue overload behaviours of coarse grain (~30 μm), ultrafine grain (360 nm) and nanocrystalline (~30 nm) Ni are compared under constant amplitude loading at R = 0.1 after a 100% overload. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is applied to map the elastic

On the Distinction Between Plasticity- and Roughness-Induced Fatigue Crack Closure [PDF]
A series of experiments has been carried out to determine why some alloys display plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure (PIFCC), whereas other alloys display roughness-induced crack closure (RIFCC). Two alloys were studied, the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (PIFCC) and a steel of comparable yield strength, S25C (RIFCC).

Fatigue Crack Growth in Maraging Steel Obtained by Selective Laser Melting
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology, ideal for the production of complex-shaped components. Design against fatigue is fundamental in the presence of cyclic loads, particularly for these materials which typically have ...

Closure Effect of I + II Mixed-mode Crack for EA4T Axle Steel
The crack-closure effect is a crucial factor that affects the crack growth rate and should be considered in simulation analysis and testing. A mixed-mode I + II loading fatigue crack growth test was performed using EA4T axle steel specimens.

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Pre-Strain on Fatigue Crack Growth in AA2024-T351
The objective here is to study the effect of pre-strain on fatigue crack growth (FCG) in 2024-T351 aluminum alloy. Three pre-strain conditions were considered: without pre-strain, compressive and tensile permanent pre-strains of 4%.

Modeling of creep-fatigue interaction effects on crack growth at elevated temperatures
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.
