Cychc pre-stress increases subsequent fatigue crack growth rate in 2024-T3Sl ahrminum ahoy. This increase in growth rate, caused by the pre-stress, and the increased rate, caused by temper embrittlement as observed by Ritchie and Knott, cannot be explained by the crack tip blunting model alone. Each
An optical microscopy study and a micro-Raman spectroscopy study were carried out on polyethylene samples subjected to an environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) test. The aim was to elucidate the molecular deformation mechanisms associated with the failure process. It has been shown that in th
The potential drop method as used in fatigue and fracture toughness testing has been applied to tests on COD specimens. These tests showed that providing electrical stability is maintained, the method can be used to detect the onset of ductile crack growth. Initial plastic deformation (in absence of
