J. Sieniawski et al., APPLICATION OF RESISTANCE AND ACOUSTIC-EMISSION MEASUREMENTS IN FATIGUE TESTS OF 2-PHASE ALPHA-ALLOYS(BETA TITANIUM), Journal of materials processing technology, 53(1-2), 1995, pp. 363-372
This paper presents measuring method developed to determine the fatigu
e crack initiation and its propagation velocity in two phase alpha+bet
a titanium alloy specimens under alternating bending. The measuring sy
stem permits to make two-channel, parallel measurements of electro-mec
hanical properties of the specimen. One channel is used for measuremen
t of a change in specimen resistance, the second one records impulses
of acoustic emission. Results of measurement are recorded in real. tim
e and stored on two IBM PC type computers. Graphical analysis of resul
ts is possible after a test.
