Abstract
The practical condition of applied load represents mixed-mode loading condition due to complications of element geometry and applied load. Also, the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation under mixed mode were affected by constrained shape of structures and applied load variation. There are continuous variations of stress condition at crack tip on the fatigue crack during propagation. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the propagation behavior of mixed-mode fatigue crack under stress redistribution condition. We established the experimental method in order to form the stress redistribution condition. It is assumed that the stress around the crack tip under mixed-mode fatigue loading is redistributed. This test consisted of the 1st and the 2nd round of tests. The stress re distribution was formed by changing the loading direction at propagating mixed-mode fatigue crack tip. In this study, the behavior of mixed-mode fatigue crack affected by stress redistribution was investigated by comparing fatigue crack propagation rate, fatigue crack propagation paths and fatigue crack branch angle. From the experiment, as loading application angle and thickness change, the fatigue crack propagation rate and angle under mixed mode were affected by stress redistribution.
