Abstract:
Strains very near a growing fatigue crack have been computed from measured material displacements, both for a very dry environment and for humid air. Significant differences in crack tip strains and crack tip opening displacements occur in these environments, with crack tip deformation in water vapor evidencing less plasticity than the dry environment. These quantitative results are incorporated into a previously developed mathematical model which is based, in part, on dynamic observations of intermittent crack growth. Fractography is shown to support the concepts of intermittent crack advance and decreased crack tip plasticity due to environmental water vapor.
