Interaction between Local Plastic Strain and Multi-Scale Fatigue Crack Propagation Behavior in Titanium Alloy TC4

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multi-scale Fatigue crack growth behavior of titanium alloy TC4 under different maximum stress was identified in the present work by using an in-situ fatigue testing system. Results showed that specimen tested at lower maximum stress exhibited longer fatigue life, since the small fatigue crack stage accounted for a larger fraction of the total fatigue life. Local deformation around fatigue crack was measured by digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The evolution of multi-scale fatigue crack was identified. Relationship between size of plastic zone and crack growth rate was identified.
