Short Fatigue Crack

The purpose of the present contribution is to predict the fatigue life of welded joints by using the effective cyclic J-integral as crack driving force. The plasticity induced crack closure effects and the effects of welding residual stresses are taken into consideration. Here, the fatigue life is regarded as period of short fatigue crack growth. The node release technique is used to perform finite element based crack growth analyses. For fatigue lives calculations, the effective cyclic J-integral is employed in a relation similar to the Paris (crack growth) equation. For this purpose, a specific code was written for the determination of the effective cyclic J-integral for various lifetime relevant crack lengths. The effects of welding residual stresses on the crack driving force and the calculated fatigue lives are investigated. Results reveal that the influence of residual stresses can be neglected only for large load amplitudes. Finally, the predicted fatigue lives are compared with experimental data: a good accordance between both results is achieved.

Most of the previous parameters that utilized as a crack driving force were established in modifying the parameter Kop in Elber’s effective SIF range (ΔKeff = Kmax–Kop). This paper focuses on the physical meaning of compliance changes caused by plastic deformation at the crack tip, the test was carried out for structural steel under constant amplitude loading, and differences of several parameter ΔKeff in literature are analyzed quantificationally. The effect of actual stress amplitude at the crack tip on fatigue crack growth is investigated, and improved two-parameter driving force model ΔKdrive(=Kmax)n(ΔK^)1−n) has been proposed. Experimental data for several different types of materials taken from literature were used in the analyses. Presented results indicate that the parameter ΔKdrive is equally effective or better than ΔK(=Kmax-Kmin), ΔKeff(=Kmax-Kop) and ΔK*(=(Kmax)α(ΔK+)1−α) in correlating and predicting the R-ratio effects on fatigue crack growth rate.

Fatigue Crack Growth (FCG) behaviour in a Single-Edge-Notched Tension (SENT) specimen of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy under a standard mini-FALSTAFF spectrum load sequence was experimentally determined. Further, the FCG behaviour was predicted using cycle-by-cycle method and compared with experimental results. Prediction procedure involved are rain-flow counting of fatigue load cycles, estimation of crack driving force for each of the counted cycle and prediction of crack extension per cycle from constant amplitude crack growth rate equation. In the present work, a new crack driving force (CDF) K*eff involving Kujawski’s crack driving force K* in conjunction with Elber’s crack closure concept was used to account for load interaction effects. FCG prediction was also made using conventional CDF ΔKeff (Elber’s) approach. A good correlation was observed between experimental and predicted FCG behaviour under spectrum loads by the proposed K*eff approach. Also, this prediction was observed to be better than that predicted by conventional ΔKeff approach.

A study was done to determine the fatigue crack growth behavior of a PWA 1484 single crystal nickel base superalloy in a temperature range of 427°C to 871°C. Two distinctive failure modes were observed which were a function of both temperature and frequency. At lower temperatures and higher frequencies crack growth occured on the {111} octahedral slip planes at an oblique angle to the loading direction. Higher temperatures and decrease in frequencies favored a Mode I type failure process. The failure mode transitions were explained by invoking arguments based on environmental damage mechanisms. The fatigue crack growth rate data were analyzed using three different crack driving force parameters. The parameters investigated consisted of the Mode I stress intensity parameter corrected for the inclined crack trajectory, and two different octahedral Mode II parameters which are based on the calculation of resolved shear stresses on the {111} slip systems. The Mode I ΔK parameter did a fair job in correlating the data but did not collapse it into a single narrow band. The two octahedral crack driving force parameters, ΔKRSS and a newly proposed ΔKOCT, collapsed all the data into a single narrow band. In addition to correlating the fatigue crack growth rates, the two octahedral parameters also predicted the {111} planes on which the crack growth took place.
