This publication, Applications of Automation Technology in Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Analysis: Fourth Volume, contains papers presented at the symposium of the same name held in November of 2000. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee E8 on Fatigue and Fracture.
This symposium was the fourth in a series of symposia concerned with advancing the state of the art in automated fatigue and fracture testing. The topics addressed by papers in this publication include:
- fatigue crack growth rates that result from railroad tank car service conditions
- fatigue crack propagation under complex loading in arbitrary 2D geometries
- magnitude and effect of loading errors during fatigue crack growth testing
- automated facility for advanced testing of materials
- applications of overload data to fatigue analysis and testing
- variable amplitude loading
- software for the estimation of the fatigue crack initiation life in notched components
- crack opening stress
- effective strain intensity factor
- steady state crack-opening stress
- crack opening displacements (CODs)
- crack sliding displacements (CSDs)
- environment-assisted cracking, fatigue
- fully automated thermomechanical fatigue test system
- automated piezoelectric fatigue machine for severe environments
- data acquisition
- full-scale aircraft structural fatigue tests
This STP is useful for gaining an understanding of testing and experimental methods related to materials testing particularly for industries such as aerospace and rail.
