The United States Air Force (USAF) Guidelines for the Durability and Damage Tolerance (DADT) certification of Additive Manufactured (AM) parts states that the most difficult challenge for the certification of an AM part is to establish an accurate prediction of its DADT. How to address this challenge is the focus of the present paper. To this end this paper examines the variability in crack growth in tests on additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V specimens built using selective layer melting (SLM). One series of tests analysed involves thirty single edge notch tension specimens with five build orientations and two different post heat treatments. The other test program analysed involved ASTM standard single edge notch specimens with three different build directions. The results of this study highlight the ability of the Hartman–Schijve crack growth equation to capture the variability and the anisotropic behaviour of crack growth in SLM Ti-6Al-4V. It is thus shown that, despite the large variability in crack growth, the intrinsic crack growth equation remains unchanged and that the variability and the anisotropic nature of crack growth in this test program is captured by allowing for changes in both the fatigue threshold and the cyclic fracture toughness.

This work addresses the development of wide range compliance solutions for tensile-loaded and bend specimens based on CMOD. The study covers selected standard and non-standard fracture test specimens, including the compact tension C(T) configuration, the single edge notch tension SE(T) specimen with fixed-grip loading (clamped ends) and the single edge notch bend SE(B) geometry with varying specimen spam over width ratio and loaded under 3-point and 4-point flexural configuration. Very detailed elastic finite element analysis in 2-D setting are conducted on fracture models with varying crack sizes to generate the evolution of load with displacement for those configurations from which the dependence of specimen compliance on crack length, specimen geometry and loading mode is determined. The extensive numerical analyses conducted here provide a larger set of solutions upon which more accurate experimental evaluations of crack size changes in fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth testing can be made.

Abstract Most engineering components are subjected to cyclic loading in service and design against fatigue failure is often a key consideration in design. For fracture mechanics fatigue analysis, fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests are often required to determine the relevant Paris power law parameters for the material under the environment concerned. Standards allow use of different specimen geometries for FCG tests such as compact tension (CT), centre crack tension (CCT), single edge notch bend (SENB) and single edge notch tension (SENT). However, when selecting specimen geometry for fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) testing, there is often doubt about which specimen geometry is more appropriate and whether they give similar FCGR. There is limited work to compare the FCGR between different specimen geometries. This paper first briefly introduces the guidance on FCG test specimen geometries in standards and compares the advantages and disadvantages of these specimen geometries. A comprehensive literature review is carried out to compare the FCGR data between different specimen geometries. FCGR tests are conducted on SENB, SENT and CCT specimens of C-Mn steel to investigate any effects of specimen symmetry/asymmetry and crack constraint on FCGR. Based on the literature review and test data, it is concluded that FCGR is independent of the specimen geometries examined.
