The importance of compressive stresses on fatigue crack propagation rate
This paper is concerned with the importance of compressive stresses on crack propagation rate. In a previous paper, namely 'Crack Closure Inadequacy at Negative Stress Ratios', Int. Journal of Fatigue, 26, 2004, pp. 241-252, was demonstrated the inadequacy of the crack closure concept and Delta K eff, at a negative stress ratio, R=-1, to predict crack propagation rate. It that paper was verified that, at negative stress ratios, crack closure changes with Pmax, for the same R ratio. The main conclusion was about plastic properties and mainly cyclic plastic properties, the Bauschinger effect included, on crack propagation when compressive stresses exist. It was then suggested that in the place of the crack closure concept, another concept based on plasticity should be used to explain fatigue crack propagation. In this paper, instead of working with the same negative R ratio (R=-1), a study on the behavior of crack propagation rate as a function of R ratio, from negative to positive stress ratios, is made. Both the effect of Pmax and of R ratio is taken into consideration. Measurements of roughness and of crack opening loads are made, in order to verify their influence on crack propagation rate. Different materials, in order to cover different cyclic plastic properties and different sensitivities to roughness are studied (Ck45-cyclic hardening; Ti6Al4V-cyclic softening, and aluminum, Al 7175-cyclically neutral) are studied. Aluminium alloys and titanium alloys are considered to be sensitive to roughness induced crack closure (RICC) while steels are more dependent on plastic properties (PICC). In this study it is emphasized the importance of the compressive part of the cycle, and of cyclic plastic properties, on crack propagation rate. It is reassessed the inadequacy of crack closure concept and Delta Keff to describe crack propagation rate, at negative stress ratios. It is also verified that models based solely on extrinsic properties of materials, like da/dN-Delta K or da/dN-Delta K (Kmax) should also incorporate intrinsic properties of the materials in order to properly correlate fatigue crack growth.
