Journal ArticleDOI
Residual Stresses in Machined Ceramic Surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the residual surface stresses generated in ceramic materials by diamond grinding were studied, characterized both by X-ray measurements of stress magnitudes and by line forces obtained from the bending of plates that were machined on one side.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth rate models for short surface cracks in AI 2219-T851
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the fatigue propagation of short Mode I surface cracks in Al 2219-T851 and compared the measured rates with values predicted from crack growth models, with an underlying assumption that slip responsible for early propagation does not extend in significant amounts beyond the next grain boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible Stress‐Induced Martensitic Transformation in ZrO2
David B. Marshall,M. R. James +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, optical observations and X-ray measurements were used to detect the martensitic transformation of tetragonal ZrO/sub 2/ to the monoclinic structure during room-temperature stressing of Mg-PSZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Grain Size on Fatigue Growth of Short Cracks
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of alloy grain size on growth rates of surface cracks 20 to 500 μm in length was studied in Al 7075-T6 specimens prepared in 12 and 130 μn grain sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors Influencing Residual Surface Stresses due to a Stress-Induced Phase Bansformation
TL;DR: In this paper, an X-ray diffraction technique was used to measure the residual surface stresses on ground surfaces of Al2O3/ZrO2 (tetragonal) composites.
