The model incorporated the two intrinsic properties of material’s cyclic plastic and crack tip’s deformation dislocation to interpret fatigue crack threshold. The relation between material’s cyclic hardening parameters (cyclic hardening amplitude and cyclic hardening rate) and fatigue threshold is studied. Fatigue threshold is determined based on the dislocation-free zone (DFZ) model, the theory of cohesive zone and the cyclic deformation behaviour. The results show that fatigue threshold increases with the decrease of the amplitude of cyclic hardening and is independent of cyclic hardening rate, but fatigue crack growth rate increases with the increase of cyclic hardening rate.展开更多

An equation for crack growth rate was derived to consider the trend of stress intensity factor range going down to the threshold and the average stress effect. The probabilistic models were presented on the equation. They consist of the probabilistic da/dN-ΔK relations, the confidence-based da/dN-ΔK relations, and the probabilistic- and confidence-based da/dN-ΔK relations. Efforts were made respectively to characterize the effects of probabilistic assessments due to the scattering regularity of test data, the number of sampling, and both of them. These relations can provide wide selections for practice. Analysis on the test data of LZ50 steel indicates that the present models are available and feasible.展开更多

The mode Ⅱ component can play two important roles in near-threshold fatigue crack growth:(1)increasing crack tip plasticity which accelerates the crack growth and(2)intro- ducing crack surface contact and rubbing to reduce the crack propagation rate.By means of crack closure,the quantity of shear resistance was easily solved in this paper.The friction shear stress strength factor range of mode Ⅱ,K_,is still much higher than the closure stress strength factor range of mode Ⅰ,K_(Ⅰ,cl).This illustrated that the roughness enlarged the second role and played a role of shielding crack tip from mode Ⅱ crack.展开更多

The threshold and low crack growth rate behaviors at room temperature, with varying groin size and γ'-distribution, have been investigated. The results indicate that grain size is an important microstructurol parameter that affects fatigue crack growth threshold and propagation behaviors, as the values of △Kth increase with increasing grain size, but the γ' -distribution also has important effect. Analyses show that the effects of groin size on threshold and low crack-growth rate behavior result from heterogeneous deformation and roughness-induced crack closure due to crystallographic slipping and cracking in coarse microstructure. The higher △Kth and lower fatigue crack growth rate with increasing amounts of fine γ' phases are closely related to less damage accumulation level in deformation zone of crack-tip resulted from heterogeneous deformation due to dislocations' shearing γ' precipitates.展开更多
