This study is done for predicting fatigue crack initiation life and propagation life of a crack initiated at a notch and grown to a desired length. Both numerical analysis and experimental study was done for single edge notch bend type specimen. Crack initiation life prediction was done using strain-life approach applying different available models. For this purpose 2-D and 3-D finite element model of the specimen was created in Abaqus. By simulating the 2-D and 3-D model under static loading, notch maximum stress was found to calculate the notch elastic stress concentration factor. Applying Neuber’s rule local stresses and strains of notched part was calculated. These values were then compered to values found by elasto-plastic analysis done for 3-D model in Abaqus. Then, fatigue crack initiation life was predicted. For the propagation part, the required number of cycles to grow the initiated crack from 1 mm length to a desired length was calculated by using Walker and Paris equations. At the end the predicted lives were compared to experimental ones. It is found that reasonable agreement could be obtained, and the established procedure could be used in planning the preparation stages of cracked beam specimens.

Fatigue crack growth analysis models for functionally graded materials
Dağ, Serkan; YILDIRIM, BORA (2006-10-18)
The objective of this study is to develop crack growth analysis methods for functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to mode I cyclic loading. The study presents finite elements based computational procedures for both two and three dimensional problems to examine fatigue crack growth in functionally graded materials. Developed methods allow the computation of crack length and generation of crack front profile for a graded medium subjected to fluctuating stresses. The results presented for an elliptica...
Experimental observations of intersonic crack growth in asymmetrically loaded unidirectional composite plates
Çöker, Demirkan (2001-01-01)
Some recent experimental observations of highly dynamic crack growth events in thick unidirectional composites are presented. The specimens used in this study were 48-ply thick unidirectional graphite-epoxy composite plates which were either symmetrically (mode I) or asymmetrically (mode II) loaded by impact in a one-point bend configuration with an edge pre-notch machined in the fibre direction. Moderate impact speeds of up to 57 m s(-1) were used. The lateral shearing interferometric technique of coherent...
Frictionless double contact problem for an axisymmetric elastic layer between an elastic stamp and a flat support with a circular hole
Mert, Oya; Geçit, M. Ruşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
This study considers the elastostatic contact problem of a semi-infinite cylinder. The cylinder is compressed against a layer lying on a rigid foundation. There is a sharp-edged circular hole in the middle of the foundation. It is assumed that all the contacting surfaces are frictionless and only compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interfaces. The contact along interfaces of the elastic layer and the rigid foundation forms a circular area of which outer diameter is unknown. The probl...
Axisymmetric finite cylinder with one end clamped and the other under uniform tension containing a penny-shaped crack
KAMAN, METE ONUR; Gecit, Mehmet Rusen (Elsevier BV, 2008-09-01)
This study considers the axisymmetric analysis of a finite cylinder containing a penny-shaped transverse crack. Material of the cylinder is assumed to be linearly elastic and isotropic. One end of the cylinder is bonded to a fixed support while the other end is subjected to uniform axial tension. Solution is obtained by superposing the solutions for an infinite cylinder loaded at infinity and an infinite cylinder containing four cracks and a rigid inclusion loaded along the cracks and the inclusion. When th...
Fatigue crack growth behaviour in aluminium alloy 7475 under different aging conditions
Gürbüz, Rıza (Informa UK Limited, 2001-12-01)
The effects of aging temperature and aging time on fatigue crack growth resistance have been studied for a 7475 (Al - Zn - Mg based) aluminium alloy. The alloy was tested in the underaged, peak aged, and overaged conditions after aging at 120 and 160 degreesC. Fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted in laboratory air using compact tension specimens in L-S orientation, under constant amplitude sinusoidal loading with an R ratio of zero. Results are discussed on the basis of resultant microstructures, ...
