Accounting for crack closure effects in TMF crack growth tests with extended hold times in gas turbine blade alloys
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Crack closure effects are known to have a large impact on crack growth behaviour. In this work, tests were performed on Inconel 792 specimens under TMF loading conditions at 100–850 °C with extended hold times at tensile stress. The effective stress-intensity range was estimated experimentally using a compliance-based method leading to the conclusion that crack closure appears to have a primary impact on the crack growth behaviour for this material under the conditions studied. The crack closure behaviour for the tests was successfully modelled using numerical simulations, including creep.
