29、645 STP982-EB/Jun. 1988 Introduction Since the 1950s, the development of the field of “fatigue mechanics“ has been driven by several major observations. First, Irwins crack-tip stress-field analysis and the monumental “stress-intensity factor“ at the Naval Research Laboratory laid the foundation for

30、 future discoveries. Using the “cycUc“ stress-intensity factor range, Paris and Anderson at the Boeing Company produced overwhelming data to support the correlation of fatigue-crack growth rate behavior for metallic materials. At the same time, a group under Hardrath at NACA (later NASA), also study

31、ing the fatigue-crack growth phenomenon, made a similar obser vation concerning a “sharp notch“ stress-field parameter. McEvily and lUgs notch-root stress-field parameter correlated fatigue-crack growth rate data equally as well as the cyclic stress-intensity factor range. Later, it was shown that t

32、he notch-root parameter was directly proportional to the stress-intensity factor. But the eloquence and momentum of the “stress- intensity factor“ quickly displaced the notch-root parameter throughout the aerospace in dustry. Surprisingly, a decade of research on fatigue-crack growth had failed to u

33、ncover the next major discovery. In 1968, Elber at the University of New South Wales observed that fatigue-crack surfaces contact with each other even during tension-tension cyclic loading. This simple observation and the explanation of the crack-closure phenomenon began to explain many other crack-

34、 growth characteristics almost immediately. Hardrath, to whom this symposium and book are dedicated, recognized very quickly the importance of the crack-closure concept in fatigue applications and was instrumental in recruiting Elber to NASA. Since the discovery of “plasticity“ induced closure, seve

35、ral other closure mechanisms have been identified. These new closure mechanisms and the influence of the plastic wake on the local crack-tip strain field have greatly advanced the understanding of fatigue-crack growth and fracture behavior of metallic materials. After nearly 20 years of research, mo

36、st researchers now agree that closure occurs. How ever, no consensus of opinion exists on how to best measure closure effects or crack-opening behavior. Some numerical methods are now available to calculate crack-opening stresses, but they are comphcated to use in practical appUcations. On the other

37、 hand, the crack- closure concept has been extremely useful in many practical applications such as the cor relation of crack-growth rate data and for predicting crack growth under variable-amplitude loading. Therefore, in hopes of advancing the state-of-the-art, an International Symposium 1 Copyrigh

38、t 1988 byASFM International www.astm.org 2 FATIGUE CRACK CLOSURE on Fatigue Crack Closure was organized to provide a forum for exchanging information and experiences on crack-closure measurement techniques, on crack-closure analysis methods, and on practical appUcations of the crack-closure concept.

39、 The symposium was divided into four major topic areas: Mechanisms, Measurements, Analyses and Applications. R. O. Ritchie, A. J. McEvily, E. R Phillips, and J. M. Potter served as respective session chair men. A panel discussion was held in a well-attended evening session. The panelists were A. J.

40、McEvily, P. C. Paris, R. O. Ritchie, and J. Schijve. Keynote addresses were given on “Observations on Understanding Fatigue Crack Growth Through Crack-Closure Effects“ by P. C. Paris and “Fatigue Crack Closure: Observations and Technical Significance“ by J. Schijve. Dr. Paris crack-growth “law“ has

41、revolutionized the treatment of fatigue-crack growth, and this concept has provided a foundation for damage-tolerance analyses. Even Elbers effective stress-intensity factor range has its basis in the cyclic stress-intensity factor range. Professor Schijve has been a leading proponent of the crack-c

42、losure concept, and he has made many lasting contributions to its understanding. The symposium and book are dedicated to the memory of Herbert F. Hardrath. At the symposium, an engraved dedication plaque was presented to Mrs. Gladys Hardrath, his wife, and to his son and daughter. Bill and Janice. A

43、 Special Achievement Award was also presented to Dr. Wolf Elber for his discovery of the fatigue-crack closure mechanism and for his significant contributions to fatigue and fracture mechanics. The award consisted of an engraved wooden plaque to which the “orig inal“ Elber-displacement gage was moun

ABSTRACT: The meaning of crack closure for fatigue crack growth resistance is discussed under different headings: (1) mechanistic aspects of crack closuree

46、ssential differences be tween microcracks and macrocracks, microstructural influences; (2) direct methods and indirect methods to measure crack closure; (3) numerical aspects of crack closure relations for constant- amplitude loading; and (4) crack closure and variable-amphtude loading. The paper su

Attention is paid to microstructural aspects, changing crack growth mechanisms under threshold conditions and 3-dimensional aspects including plane strain/plane stress problems.
