The application of the infrared thermography on titanium alloy for studying fatigue behavior
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 27
Abstract
The infrared thermography is an attractive tool for studying the fatigue behavior of materials. Based on two theoretical models of fatigue damage indicators, this work studied the fatigue properties of the virgin Ti-6Al-4V alloy. According to the two damage indicators and the energy theory, the relationship between the macro-phenomenon and the micro-structural evolution during fatigue process was discussed. The fatigue limit of the titanium alloy was rapidly determined based on the measured temperature increment signals. The capability of the infrared thermographic method on the evaluation of fatigue properties was validated.

A model for steady state stage III creep regime at low-high stress/temperature range
Although diffusional flow creep is often considered out of practical engineering applications, the need for a model capable to account for the resulting action of both diffusional and dislocation type creep is justified...
Advanced techniques for estimation of the tensile fracture toughness of adhesive joints
Adhesive bonding has become more efficient in the last few decades due to the adhesives developments, granting higher strength and ductility. As a result, adhesives are being increasingly used in industries such a...

Residual stresses are often inevitably introduced into the material during the fabrication processes, such as welding, and are known to have significant effects on the subsequent fatigue crack growth behavior of&n...
Sharp contact corners, fretting and cracks
Contacts with sharp edges subject to oscillatory loading are likely to nucleate cracks from the corners, if the loading is sufficiently severe. To a first approximation, the corners behave like notches, where the local e...

Weld start and end points are fatigue failure sensitive locations. Their fatigue behaviour especially in thin sheet structures under multiaxial load conditions is not sufficiently explored so far. Therefore, a res...
