The material concerned is a structural alloy steel. The experimental results show that the numerical density of short cracks reaches the maximum value when crack length is slightly less than the average grain diameter, indicating grain boundary is the main barrier for short crack extension. Based on the experimental observations and related theory, the expressions for growth velocity and nucleation rate of short cracks have been proposed. With the solution to phase space conservation equation, the theoretical results of numerical density evolution for short cracks were obtained, which were in agreement with our experimental measurements.展开更多

The essential reason resulting in stronger short crack effect has been ascertained. Influence of cerium on the threshold of short fatigue cracks for aluminum-lithium alloy 2090 was investigated. The results show that, by adding Ce into this alloy, DeltaK(i) and DeltaK(Cl.th) are increased. The influence mechanism of Ce on the threshold of short fatigue crack for alloy 2090 was explored fi om the bound energy, T, phase, the energy of anti-phase boundary, the energy of super-lattice intrinsic stacking fault and the electron bonds. By adding Ce into alloy 2090, the bound energy of Cu atom in this alloy is increased; the effect of thinning and dispersing T, phase is obtained; the effect of increasing the energy of anti-phase boundary and decreasing the energy of super-lattice intrinsic stacking fault for delta ' phase can be achieved.展开更多

Att...Size evolution of the surface short fatigue cracks of lCrl8Ni'9Ti weld metal was investigated. A local viewpoint is applied to be agreement with a so-called 'effectively short fatigue crack criterion'. Attention was paid to the dominant effectively short fatigue crack (DESFC) initiation zone and the zones ahead of the DESFC tips. The results revealed that the evolutionary size shows a significant character of microstructural short crack (MSC) and physical short crack (PSC) stages. In the MSC stage, fatigue damage is due to mainly the initiation and irregular growth of the effectively short fatigue cracks (ESFCs). In the PSC stage, the damage is conversely due to mainly the DESFC growth and partially, the growth of the ESFCs and the coalescence of the ESFCs themselves with the DESFC. The process involves from a non-ordered/chaotic state in the initiation of MSC stage, gradually to an independently random state at the transition point between the MSC and PSC stages and then, to an ordered/history-dependent random state. Interactive effect of the collective cracks is stronger and shows an increase in the MSC stage, it reaches a maximum value at the transition point and then, tends to a decrease in the PSC stage. The DESFC acts as a result of the interactive cracks and thus, is deemed suitable to describe the behaviour of collective cracks.展开更多

The relationships between the maximum stress range at the notch root Δ σ max and the number of cycles before fatigue crack initiation N i are determined. The threshold stresses of fatigue crack initiation (Δ σ max ) th are got, and the smallcrack growth laws are obtained for these steels. An effective and convenient method is proposed for predicting the fatigue life of the notch specimens.展开更多
