摘要
Quantitative analysis is provided to estimate the reduction of fatigue crack growth rate due to overload crack branching. A recent mixed-mode fatigue crack growth model based on the dilatational component of the accumulated strain energy density near the crack tip is modified to quantify the retardation factor of crack growth rate following an overload. It is found that crack branching due to an overload results in considerable reduction of fatigue crack growth rate. The retardation factor estimated by the proposed methodology is correlated with test results for the 2090-T8E41 aluminum-lithium alloy indicating encouraging agreement. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
