Frequently Asked Questions (11)
Q2. What is the effect of the reversed plastic flow on crack growth?
4–7 Makabe et al.8 demonstrated that the tensile residual stresses developed by a compressive underload are an important consequence of the reversed plastic flow, leading to the reduction of crack-opening level and acceleration of crack-growth rate.
Q3. What is the key factor to account for the observed transient crack growth phenomena?
It is thought that the combined effects of the changes in the residual-stress state and crack-tip geometry seem to be a key factor to account for the observed transient crack-growth phenomena.
Q4. What is the role of residual stresses in the crack growth?
More specifically, in terms of the crack-growth retardation phenomena following a single tensile overload, many researchers reported that the enlarged compressive residual stresses after a tensile overload are one of the possible retardation mechanisms, slowing down the crack-growth rates in the retardation period.
Q5. What was the result of a compressive underload?
A compressive underload also led to the relatively small compressive residual stresses within 4.5 mm in front of the crack tip for the transverse direction.
Q6. What is the effect of a tensile overload on crack growth?
In this investigation, the direct measurements of residual-stress distribution are carried out as a function of the distance from the crack tip using neutron diffraction, immediately after applying the same loading conditions as their previous study20 (i.e. a tensile overload, a compressive underload and their mixed loads during fatigue crack growth).
Q7. What is the expected result of a fatigue wake?
It is expected that these tensile residual stresses in a fatigue wake would lead to smaller crack-opening level, and, thus, higher cracktip driving force, which accounts for the initial acceleration immediately after a single compressive underload.
Q8. What is the reason for the small retardation period observed in the crack wake?
It is thought that the combined effects of the changes in the residual-stress state and crack-tip geometry seem to be a key factor to account for the observed transient crack-growth phenomena.
Q9. What is the effect of the overload on crack growth?
It tends to concentrate the stresses at the blunting region rather than the actual crack-tip position, and, thus, a higher applied load would be required to make a closed crack fully open.
Q10. What is the effect of the combined effects of crack-tip blunting and compressive residual stress?
At this maximum retardation stage, it is expected that these combined effects would result in the highest crack-opening level, leading to the complete transfer of stress concentration from the blunted region to actual crack-tip position.
Q11. What is the effect of tensile overload on the longitudinal component?
It is noted that the application of tensile overload yielded large compressive residual stresses near the crack tip for the longitudinal component (Fig. 4a).
