Fracture Behavior of Simple Composites.
Abstract
The work was intended to examine the interactions between the plastic zone at the tip of an advancing crack and the elastic stress field generated by a pre-existing micro-crack in its path. It was anticipated that diffusion bonding would provide a means for preparing specimens which were essentially perfect except for micro-cracks which were to be introduced by machining very small notches in the mating surfaces before bonding. It was found that diffusion bonding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced either very good or very poor bonds. The conditions required for the production of very good bonds made the introduction of micro-cracks unfeasible. Perfect bonds were obtained in Ti-6Al-4V alloy. (Author)
