The controlled shear strain amplitudes ranged from 0.606% to 4.157%. Twinning and detwinning of extension twins are observed to take place during cyclic torsion and the shear stress-shear strain hysteresis loops display a perfectly symmetric shape at all tested strain amplitudes. Marginal cyclic softening is observed when the shear strain amplitude is higher than 1.732%. The strain-life fatigue curve shows two kink points, corresponding to the shear strain amplitude of 1.040% and 1.732%, respectively.When the shear strain amplitude is higher than the upper kink point, early fatigue crack is found to initiate on the maximum shear plane. When the strain amplitude is lower than the lower kink point,fatigue cracking is parallel to the maximum tensile plane. At an identical equivalent strain amplitude,the fatigue life under pure shear is much higher than that under tension-compression. The fatigue life of extruded GW83 alloy is much higher than that of extruded AZ31 B alloy at the same plastic strain energy density.展开更多

Based on the WShler curve of smooth materials, a modified method for fatigue life prediction is approached. The characteristic fatigue length of material under cyclic loading is associated with the polycrystalline material. Rather than the stress at a point, the average stress within the characteristic fatigue length is implemented for the fatigue life prediction. The method can be applied to both the smooth and the defected material. The fatigue life prediction is also verified experimentally by specimens with various small circular holes. Through the comparison, it is found that the method can be adopted to predict the fatigue lives with different size effects.展开更多

Using the model of dislocation-based strain nucleus and the Green's function met hod, the expressions of complex potentials and stress fields are derived in closed form. The critical stress intensity factors for the first-lattice dislocation emission and the maximum number of emitted dislocations are well calculated. The effects of important parameters such as the size of transformation particle, the dislocation emission angle and the distance from the crack tip to the transformation particle on dislocation emission are discussed in detail. The results reveal that the transformation particle shows a significant shielding effect on the dislocation emission from the crack tip, and the shielding effect enhances with an increase in the size of transformation particle. On the other hand, the results also imply that the emission of edge dislocations is closely related with the dislocation emission angle, and there exists a probable angle |θ|≈ 74° making the dislocation emission easiest. Besides, the remarkable crack blunting induced by the dislocation emission is quite difficult for small grain size but easy for the growth of crack.展开更多
