| Summary: | Redundant data obtained under quasi-constant {DeltaK, Kmax} loading conditions is used to verify if the effective stress intensity factor (SIF) range DeltaKeff DeltaKmax DeltaKop is indeed the fatigue crack driving force. The crack opening SIF Kop is measured along the entire crack path on DC(T) low carbon steel specimens by a series of strain gages bonded along the crack paths, by a strain gage bonded on their back faces, and by a digital image correlation technique. All such measurements showed a significant Kop decrease as the crack sizes increased, while the fatigue crack growth rates remained essentially constant both in the thin and thick specimens, a behavior that cannot be explained by DeltaKeff arguments. |
