This STP contains papers presented at the Symposium on Small-Crack Test Methods sponsored by the joint ASTM E-9 on Fatigue and E-24 on Fracture Testing and Task Group on Small Fatigue Cracks. The symposium was held in November, 1990.
Specific topics covered by the papers in this collection include:
- fatigue crack propagation
- fracture mechanics
- corrosion fatigue
- steels
- aluminum alloys
- nickel based superalloys
- environmental effects
- crack growth measurements
- small cracks
- electrical potential instrumentation
- surface acoustic wave (SAW)
- crack initiation
- small crack growth
- crack opening stress
- crack closure
- crack opening displacement
- fatigue
- nondestructive evaluation
- residual stress
- laser interferometric technique
- nonlinear signal processing
- split spectrum processing
- fatigue crack propagation
- life prediction
- short cracks
- semicircular-edge-notch specimens
- photomicroscopy
- microcracks
- linear-elastic stress-intensity factors
- surface crack
- crack propagation
- microstructure
- scanning electron microscope
- crack-tip mechanics
- interferometric strain/displacement gage (ISDG)
Purchase this STP for state-of-the-art (at the time) reviews from leading experts on methods for characterizing small-crack behavior. This publication will be useful to students and practicing researchers in the fields of materials science and engineering and mechanical engineering.
