The fatigue and fracture behavior of C/C composites fabricated using fine-woven carbon fiber laminates with α = 0/90° direction were investigated. Also, the phenomenon of crack growth behavior and the shear damage in the fiber bundle was discussed. Slits of several sizes were cut on both sides of a test section and different sizes of slit length were chosen. The effect of the slit configuration on crack initiation and growth behavior was observed. Specimens with blunt-notches and center-holes were also used to compare the fatigue strength and crack growth behavior. Non-propagating cracks were observed and fatigue limit was defined as the maximum stress at which specimen did not break for N = 107 cycles stress application. The longest fatigue life was obtained in the case of specimens with shorter slits. The relationships between fatigue strengths and specimen shapes were analyzed by stress concentration, K t , and stress intensity factor, K I . The effect of slit configuration on fatigue strength was then discussed regarding both the experimental and calculated consequences.

In this study, the crack growth behavior in P92 steel (9%Cr-2%W) weldment was investigated at 600ı under the load of trapezoidal wave shape with various holding times. The relationship between the crack growth behavior and holding time was studied and it was characterized using the ΔK and (Ct)avg parameters. The number of micro-voids/cavities at the crack tip and fracture modes were examined and the relationship between crack growth rate and holding time was investigated.

Abstract The crack growth behavior of a non-crystallizing rubber, SBR, is investigated in terms of the tearing energy T, the energy available for crack growth. For cyclic deformations in which the minimum tearing energy is zero (relaxing conditions), a unique relationship is obtained between the growth per cycle and T at the maximum deformation. This rubber also exhibits crack growth at constant tearing energies. The relationship of the crack growth rate as a function of tearing energy, when the minimum tearing energy of the cycle is not zero, can be superimposed on the relaxing relationship by scaling the rates, and a tentative explanation is proposed for the scaling factor. Fatigue data are consistent with this.

A new sensing method called “smart stress memory patch”, which could estimate the maximum stress, the stress amplitude and the fatigue cyclic number simultaneously using Kaiser effect of Acoustic Emission (AE) and crack length of this patch, was developed. In this study, the crack growth characteristics of this patch was evaluated. Pure copper was used for this patch because its good corrosion resistance, stable crack propagation and so on. Two kinds of samples which were rolled and electrodeposited copper were prepared to investigate the effect of microstructure on crack growth behavior. Fatigue test was performed under constant stress amplitude to evaluate the crack growth behavior using the relationship between stress intensity factor range and crack propagation rate. The scattering in fatigue crack growth was also investigated to obtain the relationship between crack length and the fatigue cyclic number including two-sided 95% confidence interval. The effect of thickness and grain size on the scattering was discussed. Finally, good crack growth behavior was obtained and the fatigue cyclic number could be estimated by this patch.
