Abstract
This study investigates the biaxial dwell fatigue behavior of commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) under different load ratios and dwell times. The evolution of mean strain, ratcheting strain, and creep strain was systematically analyzed. The findings reveal that with the decrease of load ratio or the increase of dwell time, both ratcheting and creep strain exhibit an upward trend. The interaction between ratcheting strain and creep strain promotes crack initiation and propagation. The statistical analysis of crack paths by the digital image correlation (DIC) method indicates that crack initiation occurs between 0.7Nf and 0.8Nf, and fatigue failure is governed by the maximum principal strain. Moreover, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis results indicate that as the load ratio increases, the activity of prismatic slip systems decreases, while the activities of other slip systems and twinning modes increases. To enhance predictive accuracy, a modified SWT model by incorporating time-dependent creep damage and anisotropy is proposed for life prediction under biaxial dwell fatigue conditions.
