Experimental Study on Fatigue Crack Propagation of through-Thickness Crack under Out-of-Plane Bending
Abstract:
In Japan, fatigue through-thickness cracks have been reported in steel bridges. Some of the cracks are originated by out-of-plane bending. For performing more efficient maintenance against the fatigue damages, it is essential to identify the crack propagation behavior of the through-thickness crack under out-of-plane bending. As an important factor to assess the crack propagation behavior, generally, stress intensity factor for through-thickness crack under bending was determined by some assumptions that crack front shape is straight in thickness direction. However, the actual crack front is curved under out-of-plane bending. In this paper, in order to identify the propagation behavior of through-thickness crack under out-of-plane bending, the fatigue test on through-thickness cracked plate was carried out. Moreover, through finite element analysis on the test specimen, the stress intensity factor along curved crack front was investigated.
