This study addresses the effect of temperature on fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of CPVC. FCG tests were conducted on CPVC SEN tensile specimens in the temperature range −10 to 70°C. These specimens were prepared from 4-in. injection-molded pipe fittings. Crack growth behavior was studied using LEFM concepts. The stress intensity factor was modified to include the crack closure and plastic zone effects. The effective stress intensity factor range ΔKeff gave satisfactory correlation of crack growth rate (da/dN) at all temperatures of interest. The crack growth resistance was found to decrease with temperature increase. The effect of temperature on da/dN was investigated by considering the variation of mechanical properties with temperature. Master curves were developed by normalizing ΔKeff by fracture strain and yield stress. All the da/dN-ΔK curves at different temperatures were collapsed on a single curve. Crazing was found to be the dominant fatigue mechanism, especially at high temperature, while shear yielding was the dominant mechanism at low temperatures.

Fatigue failures often take place in high temperature pressure vessels and equipment because of fluctuation of pressure and temperature. Fatigue crack growth properties of materials at high temperatures are very important for safety assessment of high temperature equipment. A series of fatigue crack growth tests were carried out, and fatigue crack growth rates were determined at 25∼500°C for typical steels 316L and 16MnR. The laws of fatigue crack growth of two materials at different temperatures and the effect of temperature on fatigue crack growth rates were studied. The results show that the crack growth rates increase with temperature for 316L steel. Both the exponent n and constant C for Paris law change with temperature. The fatigue cracks of 16MnR propagate at 150 °C and 300 °C more slowly than at room temperature and 425 °C. The fatigue crack growth rate at 425 °C is the highest for temperature range of 25–425 °C.

The mechanical behaviour of carbon-black (CB)-filled rubber is temperature-dependent. It is assumed that temperature affects the fatigue life of rubber products by changing the tear energy of the material. The static tearing behaviour and fatigue crack propagation behavior of CB-filled rubber at different temperatures were investigated in this study. The critical tear energy of the material was measured through static tear fracture tests at different temperatures; it is shown that the critical tear energy decreases exponentially with increasing temperature. A fatigue crack growth test of a constrained precracked planar tension specimen was conducted at room temperature; the measurements verify that the fatigue crack growth follows a Paris–Erdogan power law. Considering the temperature dependence of the critical tear energy, the temperature dependent fatigue crack growth kinetics of CB-filled rubber was established, and the fatigue life of the material at high temperatures was predicted based on the kinetics. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental measurements.
