Abstract
The variation of crack growth behavior is studied under cyclic axial tension fatigue loading for the different temperatures conditions. The subject for studies is cylindrical hollow specimens of B95 and D16 aluminum alloys with semi-elliptical surface cracks. By experimental studies for considered temperature conditions the relations between the crack sizes on the free surface of specimen, crack opening displacements (COD), crack growth rate and aspect ratio were obtained. These relationships are useful for automation of experimental studies of surface crack growth. For the same specimen configuration and the different crack front position as a function of cyclic tension loading and temperatures conditions, the following constraint parameters were analyzed, namely, the non-singular T-stress, Tz -factor and the stress triaxiality parameter h in the 3D series of elastic-plastic computations. The governing parameter of the elastic-plastic stress fields In-factor distributions along various crack fronts was also determined from numerical calculations. The plastic stress intensity factor (SIF) approach was applied to the fatigue crack growth on the free surface of the hollow specimens as well as the deepest point of the semi-elliptical surface crack front. As result principal particularities of the fatigue surface crack growth rate as a function of temperature conditions are established.
