Short Fatigue-Crack Growth from Crack-like Defects under Completely Reversed Loading Predicted Based on Cyclic R-Curve
2024
Overview
Understanding short fatigue-crack propagation behavior is inevitable in the defect-tolerant design of structures. Short cracks propagate differently from long cracks, and the amount of crack closure plays a key role in the propagation behavior of short cracks. In the present paper, the buildup of fatigue-crack closure due to plasticity with crack extension from crack-like defects is simulated with a modified strip yield model, which leaves plastic stretch in the wake of the advancing crack. Crack-like defects are assumed to be closure-free and do not close even under compression. The effect of the size of crack-like defects on the growth and arrest of short cracks was systematically investigated and the cyclic R-curve derived. The cyclic R-curve determined under constant amplitude loading of multiple specimens is confirmed to be independent of the initial defect length. Load-shedding and ΔK-constant loading tests are employed to extend the cyclic R-curve beyond the fatigue limit determined under constant amplitude loading. The initiation stage of cracks is taken into account in R-curves when applied to smooth specimens.
