Crack propagation experiments were performed on a mild steel side edge notched specimen for various load ranges and stress ratios at constant maximum loads. The life of the specimen increased as the load ratio increased. The crack growth data were analysed in terms of AKeff as a function of stress r

โฆ Synopsis
Fatigue tests have been carried out on edge notched mild steel specimens of various thicknesses. Results are presented showing the effect of thickness on crack initiation, crack growth and the geometry and fractography of the fracture surface. It was found that both crack initiation and crack growth were more rapid in the thinner specimens. The transition from a flat to a shear type of fracture was also dependent on thickness and the microscopic features of the fracture surfaces were different in the two modes. These effects are related to the state of stress at the crack tip and the conditions under which plane strain and plane stress obtain are determined. INFLUENCE DE L'EPAISSEUR SUR L'INITIATION ET LA CROISSANCE DES FISSURES DE FATIGUE DANS DES ECHANTILLONS ENTAILLES D'ACIER DOUX Des essais de fatigue ont Qte effectues sur des Bchantillons d'acier doux entail& et de differentes epaisseurs. Les resultats sont present&s et montrent I'influence de l'epaisseur sur l'initiation et la croissance des fissures, ainsi que sur la geometric et la fractographie de la surface de rupture. Les auteurs trouvent que l'initiation et la croissance des fissures sont toutes deux plus rapides dans les Qchantillons les mains , epais. La transition de la rupture plane L la rupture du type cisaillement depend Bgalement de l'epaisseur et les caracteristiques microscopiques des surfaces de rupture sont differentes dans les deux modes. Les auteurs ont relic ces effets a l'etat de la contrainte a la pointe de la fissure, et ont determine les conditions clans lesquelles on obtient une deformation plane et une contrainte plane. EINFLU5 DER DICKE AUF DIE BILDUNG UND DAS WACHSTUM VON ERMUDUNGSRISSEN IN GEKERBTEN FLUBSTAHLPROBEN An gekerbten FluDstahlproben versohiedener Dicke wurden Ermiidungsversuche durchgefiihrt. ifber den Einflu5 der Dicke auf die Bildung und das Wachstum von Rissen und auf die Geometrie und Fraktographie der Bruohflache wird berichtet. In diinneren Proben erfolgte die Bildung der Risse schneller und die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit war gro5er als in dicken Proben. Auch der U'bergang von einem flachen Ri5 zu einem Scherri5 hiingt von der Probendicke ab und die mikroskopisohen Eigenschaften der Bruchfliichen waren in beiden Fallen verschieden. Diese Effekte werden mit dem Spannungszustand an der RiDspitze in Zusammenhang gebracht und es werden die Bedingungen bestimmt, unter denen ebene Dehnung und ebene Spannungen vorherrschen.
