Physical and Micromechanical Aspects of Stochastic Fatigue Crack Growth

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 334))

Abstract

The authors try to “combine” physically-based knowledge about defects and their interaction mechanisms with the more phenomenologically oriented approach to fatigue crack growth. Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics become more and more important on the “mesoscopic” level of modelling. Dissipative terms occur in the expressions of a “generalized” energy release rate and lead to non-linear R-curve behaviour. Experimental methods are presented which enable to measure local deformation and fracture behaviour (laser technique, micro-moire method, X-ray diffraction and scanning tunnel microscopy) in direct connection with image processing. Coupling of experiments and simulation is essential. Stochastic FEM and first ideas of “fuzzy” FEM will be mentioned for the study of fatigue in the fields of microelectronics and microengineering.
