The techniques of selected area electron channeling and positive replica examination have been used to study the plastic zones attending fatigue crack propagation in 304 SS, 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and Fe-3Si steel. These observations allowed the strain distribution at the crack tip to be determined. The results indicate that the concepts of a monotonic and a cyclic plastic zone are essentially correct, with the strains at demarcation between these two zones being 3 to 6 percent. Strain distribution varies as r−1/2 in the cyclic zone and as ln r in the monotonic plastic zone. The strain distributions for all materials studied may be made approximately coincident by using a dimensionless parameter related to distance from the crack tip.

Using high-energy monochromatic X-rays of energy 66.4keV from the synchrotron radiation source, SPring-8, we have developed a system to perform a hybrid measurement of imaging of cracks and strain distribution around cracks. This system was applied to a fatigue crack made in a round bar made of carbon steel with a diameter of 4 mm. Computed tomography of the specimen gave the three-dimensional shape of a thumb-nail crack. High tensile strain ahead of the crack was measured at the applied maximum stress, while the strain on the crack face was low because of stress relief due to crack opening. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) increased near the crack tip under loading, and then decreased after unloading. The recoverable part of FWHM by unloading was caused by the steep distribution of the applied stress in the vicinity of the crack tip. The FWHM increased by plastic deformation does not change when unloaded. The measured distributions of the lattice strain and FWHM agreed well with those of the elastic and plastic strains calculated by the finite element method, respectively.

Abstract The influence of the initial crack-tip radius on the fatigue behavior and the strain distribution in the vicinity of the blunted crack tip was determined experimentally using a servo-hydraulic testing machine and an optical full-field strain analysis method. Two different elastomer grades (SBR, EPDM) were selected for the experimental work. The strain analysis method used, based on the image correlation technique, was found to be an effective tool to determine strains, strain distributions and gradients near the crack tip for elastomeric materials. Different material behavior was observed in the two rubber types investigated. While the crack tip was regularly blunted (half circle shape) for EPDM and the strain gradient was low (less steep), the crack tip was sharp (less blunted) with a higher strain gradient for SBR. Furthermore the crack tip radius was found to be an important influencing factor on the initiation of crack growth, but not on the crack growth behavior after initiation. Based on the experimental results a phenomenological, first-order, crack-growth initiation law was proposed, dependent on the crack tip radius, the tearing energy at crack growth initiation for a sharp crack and a parameter representing the influence of the crack tip radius.
