Short fatigue crack initiation at inclusions

1997-04-23
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 stages, short cracks propagated by a mechanism of inclusion influenced growth. Under low stress levels, usually one short crack was initiated which dominated most of the fatigue life, while under high stress levels there was multicrack interaction.

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...
A comparison of short and long fatigue crack growth in steel
Kaynak, Cevdet; Baker, T.J. (1996-01-01)
In this study, the growth behaviour of short fatigue cracks in En7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions has been investigated by generating and evaluating short crack growth data for the six principal specimen orientations. The anomalous initiation and growth behaviour of short cracks was also compared with that of long crack data for the same material and loading conditions determined before. This comparison revealed the sub-threshold initiation and faster growth rate of short cracks comp...
Short fatigue crack growth in AL 2024-T3 and AL 7075-T6
Kaynak, Cevdet (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
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, the...
Constant water content direct shear testing of compacted residual soils
ÜYETÜRK, CELAL EMRE; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
Mechanical behavior of residual soils are studied by performing constant water content direct shear tests on reconstituted specimens using total stress analysis. The testing program involves initial degree of saturation (Sr) and applied normal stress as the control parameters. For three different soil samples, a total of 55 direct shear tests are conducted at Sr = 60%, 80%, and saturated conditions, in the normal stress range of 15-60 kPa. The results showed that shear strength increases with decreasing Sr ...
