The effect of varying loading directions and loading levels on crack growth at 2D- and 3D-mixed-mode-loadings
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
While product’s operation the loading situation commonly changes. The local loading situation on an existing crack then can shift to a combined loading, composed of mode I, mode II and mode III, and consequently influence the product’s durability significantly. This influence on further fatigue crack growth and structures’ failure can be positive or negative. Present article describes and discusses the effect of varying loading directions from mode I- to 2D-mixed-mode-loading as well as from mode I- to mixedmode I + III-loading. Moreover, experiments on varying loading levels are performed by interspersing mixed-mode block loads in cyclic mode I base load, cyclic mode II base load as well as in cyclic mode III base load

3D Analyses of crack propagation in torsion
The initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks during cyclic torsion loading was studied in a cast Al alloy (A357) with a relatively large (~500 μm) grain size. 2D observations, revealed that multi site crack i...

Uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key issue for utilization of their reinforcement potential in CNT-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs). It was reported that CNT clusters often exist i...
Rilievo in tempo reale di difetti superficiali su corpi in movimento a velocità elevata con ultrasuoni senza contatto
Il rilievo di difetti superficiali durante le ispezioni periodiche è importante poiché in genere le sollecitazioni sono maggiori in superficie e possono accelerare la crescita delle discontinuità. I difetti superfi...
Role of plasticity-induced crack closure in fatigue crack growth
The premature contact of crack surfaces attributable to the near-tip plastic deformations under cyclic loading, which is commonly referred to as plasticity induced crack closure (PICC), has long been focused as sup...
