Fatigue Damage Map as a Virtual Tool for Fatigue Damage Tolerance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Using only readily available material properties and the concept of dislocation density evolution ahead of the crack tip, the fatigue damage map attends to develop a virtual tool able to predict the limits and the corresponding crack tip propagation rates characterising each of the fatigue stages, namely crack arrest, microstructurally and physically short crack (Stage I), long crack growth (Stage II), and Stage III growth.

Notes

  1. 1.

    According to the Schmid’s law (τ c = σ cos θ cos ঁ, where for θ and ঁ equal to 45°, τ c is a maximum), plastic deformation occurs when, the applied tensile stress σ, resolved as τ c on a particular slip plane, exceeds a determined shear stress τ y .τ y = σ y/2 if the material observes the Tresca’s principles, where σ y is the corresponding yield stress.
