Effect of Low Cycle Fatigue Predamage on Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of TC21 Titanium Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of low cycle fatigue (LCF) predamage on the subsequent very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior is investigated in TC21 titanium alloy. LCF predamage is applied under 1.8% strain amplitude up to various fractions of the expected life and subsequent VHCF properties are determined using ultrasonic fatigue tests. Results show that 5% of predamage insignificantly affects the VHCF limit due to the absence of precrack, but decreases the subsequent fatigue crack initiation life estimated by the Pairs law. Precracks introduced by 10% and 20% of predamage significantly reduce the subsequent VHCF limits. The crack initiation site shifts from subsurface-induced fracture for undamaged and 5% predamaged specimens to surface precrack for 10% and 20% predamaged specimens in very high cycle region. Furthermore, the predicted fatigue limits based on the El Haddad modified model for the predamaged specimens agree with the experimental results.
