Original Abstract

Determination of fatigue crack growth characteristics under shear-mode loading is a rather complicated problem. To increase an efficiency and precision of such testing, special specimens enabling simultaneous propagation of shear cracks under II, III and II+III loading modes started to be used rather recently. K-calibration of these specimens was performed and, after unique pre-crack and heat-treatment procedures, effective thresholds KII eff;th and KIII eff;th in several metallic materials could be measured. However, a description of crack growth rate in terms of appropriate fracture mechanics quantities demands a precise assessment of plastic zone size under various shear-mode loading levels. This contribution is focused on the numerical elasto-plastic analysis of stress-strain field at the crack tip in specimens made of a pure polycrystalline (ARMCO) iron. The results reveal that the small scale yielding conditions are fulfilled in the near-threshold region. Starting from K values higher than to KII eff;th (or KIII eff;th), however, the small scale yielding condition is no more valid. Therefore, KJ or J approach is more relevant for the description of crack growth rate. Probably the most interesting result of the analysis lies in a simple procedure that enables us to separate individual loading components KJ;II and KJ;III, applied in the mixed-mode II+III part of the specimen, by comparing elasto-plastic and elastic solutions.
