摘要:This paper reports the results from a set of fatigue
experiments carried out on Aluminium alloy 6082-T6 Compact
Tension specimens. Crack closure near the tip was observed
and interpreted under cyclic loading. In order to interpret the
observations, two models were used in the present study,
namely, the elastic crack tip field based on the Westergaard
stress function approach that provides the expression for crack
opening displacement perpendicular to the crack path; and the
second model based on elastic-plastic assumptions, as proposed
by Pommier. With the introduction of plastic length ρ, both the
elastic and plastic contributions to crack tip strain are
accounted for. Digital Image Correlation and conventional
strain gauges were used to monitor crack closure. For
interpretation in terms of the stress intensity factor (SIF),
excluding DIC markers lying very close to the crack tip was
found to improve the accuracy.
