Abstract:A VT-6 titanium alloy rolled sheet, which is initially isotropic and subject to kinematic hardening, is used as an example to analyze the effect of kinematic hardening on crack growth resistance under uniaxial cyclic loading. Crack growth resistance is characterized by the number of cycles to failure, critical crack length, and critical stress intensity factor. The subject of study is plane specimens with an edge notch. It is shown that prestrain changes the anisotropy of the specimens, which is determined as … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
