3D Analyses of crack propagation in torsion

The initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks during cyclic torsion loading was studied in a cast Al alloy (A357) with a relatively large (~500 μm) grain size. 2D observations, revealed that multi site crack initiation occur on the {111} slip planes exhibiting the highest slip activity (iso-str...
