Experimental and theoretical study on numerical density evolution of short fatigue cracks

Fatigue testing was performed using a kind of triangular shaped specimen to obtain the characteristics of numerical density evolution for short cracks at the primary stage of fatigue damage. The material concerned is a structural alloy steel. The experimental results show that the numerical density of short cracks reaches the maximum value when crack length is slightly less than the average grain diameter, indicating grain boundary is the main barrier for short crack extension. Based on the experimental observations and related theory, the expressions for growth velocity and nucleation rate of short cracks have been proposed. With the solution to phase space conservation equation, the theoretical results of numerical density evolution for short cracks were obtained, which were in agreement with our experimental measurements.

A theoretical analysis on stochastic behaviour of short cracks and fatigue damage of metals

In this paper, the closed form of solution to the stochastic differential equation for a fatigue crack evolution system is derived, and the relationship between metal fatigue damage and crack stochastic behaviour is investigated. It is found that the damage extent of metals is independent of crack stochastic behaviour if the stochastic deviation of the crack growth rate is directly proportional to its mean value. The evolution of stochastic deviation of metal fatigue damage in the stage close to the transition point between short and long crack regimes is also discussed.     

A stochastic Markovian model for fatigue short crack growth across microstructural barriers

A stochastic model for fatigue short crack growth is presented. It takes into account the interaction between the crack-tip plastic zone and grain boundaries. The process is Markovian. It is completely described by the crack length and the size of the plastic zone. The integro-differential equation giving the evolution of the transition probability distribution is derived.     

Fatigue damage in polycrystals – Part 2: Intrinsic scatter of fatigue life

Part 2 deals with the evolution of plastic flow resistance with crack growth from its minimum value (fatigue limit) towards its saturated bulk value (cyclic yield stress). The far-field stress level, the geometry of the crack and the grain size distribution of the material are those parameters that control the area of crack tip plasticity and hence the rate towards saturation. The implication of the far-field stress is held responsible for the violation of the similitude concept and the failure of the stress intensity factor to describe conditions of short cracking. However, an engineering tool based on the stress intensity factor and being able to predict the fatigue life of short cracks can be constructed, considering that the distribution of crack growth rates is intrinsically defined by the material itself. The above allows the development of a set of equations able to construct the fatigue life scatter of the material.

A Theoretical Model for the Simulation of Microdamage Accumulation and Repair in Compact Bone*

This paper describes a new theoretical approach to bone microdamage, in which a population of cracks is explicitly modelled. A given sample of bone is assumed to contain a certain number of cracks, whose growth characteristics are described with an equation containing stochastic variables to create statistical differences from one crack to another. This type of model allows us to predict a wide variety of data. The present paper illustrates the different types of prediction which can be made, including: (i) standard damage parameters such as the number and length of cracks and the reduction in stiffness; (ii) fatigue test data such as the number of cycles to failure as a function of stress level, including scatter; (iii) effects due to the living system, including repair, remodelling and adaptation. A useful feature of the model is our ability to examine the statistics of the crack population in detail to find, for example, the number of cracks which are potentially dangerous as opposed to those which are dormant, and to investigate the reasons for increased crack numbers in the bones of older people. The potential also exists to use the model to investigate different theories of bone remodelling and adaptation.
