CRACK INITIATION IN METALLIC MATERIALS

Abstract

An experimental program on Ti-2.5Al-16V specimens, provided with fatigue cracks and subsequently aged to an extremely brittle condition at 700F for 4 hr, was conducted to test the feasibility of determining crack initiation based on the shallow notch equation by Neuber (Kerbspannungslehre, Springer-Verlag, 1958).
