THE INFLUENCE OF CRACK CLOSURE ON THE POSITIVE LOAD RATIO (R) DEPENDENCE OF FATIGUE THRESHOLD STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR RANGE (DELTA-K-TH) OFAISI-316 STAINLESS-STEEL IN AIR AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE
Cc. Packiaraj et al., THE INFLUENCE OF CRACK CLOSURE ON THE POSITIVE LOAD RATIO (R) DEPENDENCE OF FATIGUE THRESHOLD STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR RANGE (DELTA-K-TH) OFAISI-316 STAINLESS-STEEL IN AIR AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 57(1), 1994, pp. 65-70
Near-threshold fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviour of 316 SS at posit
ive R-ratios in air at room temperature is influenced by crack closure
. Empirical modifications of McEvily-Groeger and Zhao Xiaopeng equatio
ns are proposed to incorporate crack closure effects; the modified equ
ations are found to provide excellent correlation for the R-dependence
of the present Delta K-th data.
