Abstract

This research develops a robust experimental procedure to monitor the evolution of early fatigue damage in AZ31 magnesium alloy with the acoustic nonlinearity parameter , and demons- trats its reliability by measuring the linear relationship between amplitudes of the second-harmonic waves and fundamental waves squared. Using this system, of two sets of specimens with different stress level is measured. The experimental results show that there is a significant increase in linked to fatigue degree in the early stages of fatigue life and reaches the maximum about 55%of fatigue life, when the stress level is ±60%of the yield stress, can characterize the early fatigue damage of magnesium alloy. However, when the stress level is ±70%of the yield stress, there is a regular fluctuation in linked to fatigue degree, this experimental results can’t be explained.
