Abstract

Abstract Fracture-mechanics experiments were carried out on ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of copper, titanium and an Al alloy to obtain the fracture behaviour under static and cyclic loading. The UFG-materials investigated show crack resistance behaviour under static loading, which was confirmed by ductile fracture surfaces. Under cyclic load the crack growth rate was described well by the ESACRACK model.
