Title: | Partial crack closure under block loading | Authors: | Borrego, L. P. Ferreira, J. M. Costa, J. M. |
Keywords: | Aluminium alloy; Fatigue crack growth; Block loading; Crack closure; Partial crack closure | Issue Date: | 2008 | Citation: | International Journal of Fatigue. 30:10-11 (2008) 1787-1796 | Abstract: | Fatigue crack propagation tests under high-low and low-high block loading sequences have been performed in aluminium alloy specimens. The tests were carried out at constant [Delta]K conditions. Two stress ratios were analysed: R = 0.05 and R = 0.4. Crack closure was monitored in all tests by the compliance technique using a pin microgauge. The observed transient post load step behaviour is discussed in terms of the load change magnitude, [Delta]K baseline levels and stress ratio. The crack closure level was obtained and compared with the crack growth transients. A good agreement between experimental and predicted crack growth rates is obtained when the partial crack closure effect is properly taken into account. Therefore, plasticity-induced crack closure plays an important role on the load interaction effects observed in aluminium alloys. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4171 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2008.02.004 | Rights: | openAccess |
