Short fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated. The crack growth was monitored using a replica technique for cracks propagating on the specimen notch from an initial length of 40-50 mum to the specimen thickness of 2.3 mm. As part of the AGARD round robin test program Al 2024-T3 and Al 7075-T6 specimens with semi-circular notches on one edge were tested under R-ratios of 0.5, 0, -1 and -2. For each R -ratio several stress levels were used. In order to compare the behavior of short and long cracks, their crack growth rate data were drawn on the same graph. The general conclusion for both aluminum alloys is that the growth rates of short cracks were faster than the rates of long cracks for R-ratios of -1 and -2, no significant differences were observed for R = 0, and the short cracks actually grew more slowly at R = 0.5.

Initiation and early growth of short fatigue cracks at inclusions Kaynak, Cevdet; Baker, TJ (Informa UK Limited, 1996-05-01) In this study, the initiation and early growth behaviour of short fatigue cracks in En7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions was investigated by generating and evaluating data on the growth of short fatigue cracks under various stress levels and stress ratios for the six principal specimen orientations. Short cracks usually initiated at the debonded interfaces between the matrix and the inclusions. If there was no debonding, cracking sometimes occurred in the inclusions. In the early stage...
Inclusion induced anisotropy of short fatigue crack growth in steel Kaynak, Cevdet; Baker, TJ (Informa UK Limited, 1996-07-01) In this study, the growth behaviour of short fatigue cracks in En7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions was investigated by generating and evaluating the short crack data under different loading conditions for the six principal specimen orientations. Short cracks showed a strong anisotropic behaviour in which they grew much faster in the transverse and short transverse orientations than in the longitudinal orientations in all fatigue processes. This was due to the relatively high content o...
Effect of microstructural modification on damage tolerance of 34CrMo4 shaft steel Ozcan, Burak; Gurer, Goksu; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Wiley, 2020-06-01) Overall damage tolerances of the heat-treated 34CrMo4 steels having ferritic-pearlitic, bainitic, and tempered-martensitic microstructures were evaluated based on their threshold stress intensity factor prior to small crack propagation, fatigue strength, and fracture toughness under static loading. Kitagawa-Takahashi diagrams were constructed to determine the limiting size of small crack propagation. The micromechanical effects of carbide morphology and phase distribution on quasi-static and dynamic mechani...
A SURVEY OF FATIGUE CRACK-GROWTH LIFE ESTIMATION METHODOLOGIES AKYUREK, T; BILIR, OG (Elsevier BV, 1992-07-01) In this study, three fatigue crack growth life estimation methodologies are reviewed and sample calculations are made using these methodologies. Comparisons of the results with respect to the methodologies are made. Three computer codes which represent these methodologies, CRACKS IV, FAST and FATIGUE, are selected for the analyses. The estimations are also correlated to the test results.
High-strength concrete columns under eccentric load Canbay, Erdem; Ersoy, Ugur (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-07-01) The behavior of high strength concrete tied columns was investigated. A total of 11 columns were tested under monotonic loading having two different eccentricities. The main variables investigated were: (1) the mechanical ratio, (2) the spacing, and (3) the configuration of transverse reinforcement. Test results indicate that, under monotonically increasing axial load, the cross ties with a 135 degrees hook at one end and 90 degrees bent at the other end provide ductility comparable to ties supporting the i...
