Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior of CP-Ti Cruciform Specimens with Mixed Mode I-II Crack under Biaxial Loading

Investigations on the fatigue crack growth of commercial pure titanium are carried out with cruciform specimens under different biaxial load ratios (λ = 0, 0.5, and 1) and crack inclination angles (β = 90°, 60°, and 45°) in this paper. Based on the finite element results, the modified solution of st...

Sumario:Investigations on the fatigue crack growth of commercial pure titanium are carried out with cruciform specimens under different biaxial load ratios (λ = 0, 0.5, and 1) and crack inclination angles (β = 90°, 60°, and 45°) in this paper. Based on the finite element results, the modified solution of stress intensity factors K(I) and K(II) for cruciform specimens containing mixed mode I-II crack is obtained by considering crack size, biaxial load ratio, and crack inclination angles. The experimental results show that the maximum tangential stress criterion is fit for the prediction of crack initiation angles for mixed model I-II crack under uniaxial or biaxial loading condition. When the biaxial load ratio increases, the crack propagation angle becomes smaller, and so does the fatigue crack growth rate of mode I crack or mixed mode I-II crack. Based on an equivalent stress intensity factor, a new valid stress intensity factor is proposed to better describe the biaxial fatigue crack growth behavior, which can demonstrate the contribution of mode I and mode II of stress intensity factor.
