This work presents a new approach for studying crack growth resulting from fatigue, which utilizes the plastic contribution of crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD). CTOD is used to predict austenitic stainless-steel crack propagation. Unlike linear elastic fracture mechanics analysis, the method presented here is also helpful for tasks other than small-scale yielding. The approach was based on correlating full-field displacement information with post-processing digital images. This work describes a detailed post-processing protocol that can be used to calculate CTOD. The results for steel compact-tension specimens were especially promising. Of note, there was a linear relationship between the propagation rate of fatigue cracks and the CTOD range.
这项工作提出了一种研究疲劳导致的裂纹扩展的新方法,该方法利用了裂纹尖端开口位移(CTOD)的塑性贡献。CTOD用于预测奥氏体不锈钢裂纹扩展。与线弹性断裂力学分析不同,这里提出的方法对于小规模屈服以外的任务也很有帮助。该方法基于将全场位移信息与后处理数字图像相关联。这项工作描述了一种可用于计算CTOD的详细后处理协议。钢紧凑拉伸试样的结果尤其令人鼓舞。值得注意的是,疲劳裂纹扩展速率与CTOD范围之间存在线性关系。
