Fatigue crack growth and delamination in fiber metal laminate (GLARE) during loading with positive mean stress
Chlupová, Alice ; Kozák, Vladislav
The aim of the paper is to present the results of a study on the damage of fiber metal laminate (GLARE) subjected to the low cycle fatigue loading with positive mean stress. The fatigue crack initiation and growth was observed on the surface of notched specimens and then the individual layers of fatigued specimens were removed by chemical etching and polishing to obtain data about cracks length and delamination shape and area. Mechanism of initiation and crack growth in this type of materials differs from homogeneous monolithic materials. The fatigue life in term of number of cycles to crack initiation depending on amplitude of local plastic deformation and local stress in the notch root was evaluated.

Kruml, Tomáš ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Polák, Jaroslav
The fatigue crack growth rate in the Eurofer 97 steel was measured by two different methodologies. Small crack growth data were obtained using cylindrical specimens with a shallow notch. No artificial crack starters were used. The growth of semicircular cracks of length between 10 – 2000 m were measured in symmetrical tension-compression cycling with constant strain amplitude (R = -1). Long crack data were measured using standard CT specimen and ASTM methodology in stress control with R = 0.1. The growth of fatigue cracks with length in the range of 10 – 30 mm was determined. It is shown that the crack growth rate of both types of cracks are in a very good agreement if J-integral rep-resentation is used and reasonable assumptions of the crack closure effects are taken into account.
Fatigue properties of Eurofer steel developed for fusion application
Kuběna, Ivo ; Kruml, Tomáš ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Polák, Jaroslav
In this study fatigue properties of Eurofer 97 steel in room temperatures were measured. Fatigue parameters of the cyclic stress - strain curve and fatigue life curves (Coffin-Manson curve and derived Wöhler curve) were evaluated. Major attention was given to the measurement of kinetics of fatigue crack growth by two different methods. The initiation sites of fatigue cracks and short crack growth were observed and measured on cylindrical specimens with shallow notch. These cracks had a length from 20 micrometers to 1 mm. Kinetics of growth of long cracks with the length 15-30 mm was measured on CT specimens. It was found that results obtained by the both methods are in a good agreement if the J-integral is used. It was possible to determine the threshold values of J-integral and stress intensity factor and to calculate the Paris law parameters.
