Fatigue crack propagation in Ti-6Al-4V subjected to high strain amplitudes

Abstract
Fatigue crack propagation in circular Ti-6Al-4V specimens subjected to high strain amplitudes has been investigated. Crack closure was measured with an electrical potential-drop technique. Closure was shown not to depend on strain ratio but to be a function of the applied strain range. At higher strain ranges, the crack was found to be closed for a smaller part of the load cycle than at lower strain ranges due to blunting of the crack tip. Furthermore, the use of a strain-intensity approach to predict crack-propagation rate was investigated, and it was found that for the upper parts of the da/dN curves the effective strain intensity yields good predictions. Also, the effective stress-intensity factor was found to collapse the da/dN curves... (More)
