Influence of bimaterial interface on fatigue crack closure
Náhlík, Luboš
The article deals with the behaviour of a fatigue crack propagating across a bi-material interface. A stability criterion for the crack touching the bi-material interface, taking into account the residual stresses closing the crack faces is formulated. The linear elastic fracture mechanics is assumed to apply and the finite element method is used in the calculations. The criterion proposed is applied to determine the fatigue threshold stress for crack propagation across the interface. It is shown that the threshold values for crack propagation are influenced by the residual stresses closing the crack and by the specific combination of the elastic constants of the materials used. Two different geometries and two different loading ratios are considered. It is shown that the threshold values for crack propagation are influenced by the residual stresses closing the crack and by the specific combination of the elastic constants of the materials used.

The influence of specimen geometry on plasticity induced crack closure
Náhlík, Luboš ; Hutař, Pavel
The paper investigates the effect of in-plane constraint on plasticity induced crack closure under conditions of small scale yielding. The growth of a sharp straight crack in middle tension specimen (MT) and compact tension (CT) specimen, under constant amplitude of cyclic loading, was analyzed with help of finite element method. The material constitutive behavior was represented by a purely kinematic hardening law. Obtained results are discussed from point of view of the influence of T-stress on plasticity induced crack closure. Significant difference between opening values for CT and MT specimens was found under conditions of plane strain.

Numerical analysis of a surface crack in protective layers
Šestáková, Lucie ; Majer, Zdeněk ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Knésl, Zdeněk
Two elastic plane strain problems relevant to the cracking of protective layers bonded to dissimilar semi-infinite substrate materials are solved. In the first case a crack initiated at the free surface of the layer and propagating within the film is considered and the influence of its original orientation on cracking mode of the layer is studied. The second problem is that of the crack in the layer oriented perpendicularly to the layer/substrate interface and its influence on a debonding of the layer/substrate system is analysed. In both cases the influence of elastic mismatch of both components on the crack behaviour is discussed. The results provide the details making it possible to solve practical problems connected with damage of bodies with protective layers.

Numerical analysis of a surface crack propagation in protective layers
Majer, Zdeněk
The paper contains a numerical analysis of a surface crack propagation in an elastic surface layer. It was analysed an influence of elastic material parameters of both system components, initial length and orientation of crack on fatigue crack propagation direction. The typical behaviour of crack propagation in thin layers was described. The finite element method for determination of the direction of the farther crack propagation was used.

Influence of geometry on fatigue crack growth
Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Knésl, Zdeněk
The paper describes an application of constraint based fracture mechanics to the behaviour of fatigue cracks. This work is focused mainly on the area of high cycle fatigue (corresponding to small scale yielding conditions) and different constraint levels are quantified by T-stress value. It is suggested that the fatigue crack propagation rate is controlled by an effective value of the stress intensity factor depending on the nominal value of the stress intensity factor, the yield stress of the material and the T-stress value. It is shown that in some cases the effect of geometry has a significant influence on the fatigue crack propagation rate and on the threshold values. The T-stress effect on plasticity induced crack closure is discussed. The approach suggested is intended to contribute a more reliable transfer of laboratory data to engineering structures with different constraint levels.
