Abstract

Synchrotron X-ray tomography was used to monitor in situ three dimensional (3D) fatigue crack propagation in a nodular graphite cast iron. Direct image analysis allows for the retrieval of the successive positions of the crack front, and the detection of local crack retardation, while volume correlation enables for the measurement of displacement fields in the bulk of the specimen. Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) are extracted from the measured displacement fields. It is possible to link the non propagation of a crack with crack closure in COD maps or with a local value of the measured SIF range.KeywordsStress Intensity FactorCrack Growth RateDisplacement FieldCrack FrontStress Intensity FactorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
