Analysis of Crack Growth Path under Simple and Mixed-Mode Loading in Specimens with Rectangular Section

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the test results on the fatigue crack growth under bending, torsion and proportional bending with torsion. The tests were performed at the fatigue test stand MZGS-100 at the constant amplitude of moment MB = MT = MBT = 15.84 N⋅m and stress ratio R = -1. Specimens with rectangular cross-section in fatigue tests were used and were made of EN AW-2017A aluminium alloy. The EN AW-2017A alloy consists of α grains and the Al2Cu phase. The effect of the microstructure on the crack paths in specimens was observed. Transcrystalline cracks through grains of the α phase have been usually observed on the fractures.
