Mutiscale Plastic Deformation near a Fatigue Crack from Diffraction

Article Preview

Abstract:

After an overload was imposed during a constant amplitude fatigue experiment, a retardation period was observed. The deformation in the vicinity of a crack tip was studied using neutron and x-ray microbeam-diffraction techniques, which provide millimeter and submicrometer spatial resolutions, respectively. From the neutron-diffraction measurements, compressive lattice strains and higher dislocation densities at the macroscale were observed in front of the crack tip, which indicates a plasticity induced crack-closure phenomenon. Furthermore, Laue patterns obtained from the microbeam diffraction at different locations near the crack tip show alternating regions with high and low dislocation densities at the mesoscale.
