Small fatigue crack growth in a near alpha titanium alloy : crack closure, stress gradient and temperature considerations
The effect of fatigue crack closure in IMI 829 has been addressed for cracks growing from plain surfaces and under the influence of a stress concentration. Several test-piece configurations were employed, incuding thick and thin section double edge notches and standard corner crack (CC) geometries....
