Original abstract

A new concept of reference crack growth rate (RCGR) was proposed to cover all fatigue cracks regardless of the type of loading. The general idea has got a practical scope within textural fractography. The first suggestion of RCGR was based on cycle-by-cycle crack growth description. However, RCGR may be estimated directly from images of fracture surfaces. Both approaches are demonstrated in application – fractographical reconstitution of crack growth process in aluminium alloy. Two pairs of CCT specimen and panel were loaded by constant cycle and a flight spectrum, respectively. Common morphologic features of all fracture surfaces were found that are closely related to RCGR.

Nová koncepce referenční rychlosti šíření trhliny (RCGR) sjednocuje popis růstu trhliny bez ohledu na typ zatěžování. Metodami texturní fraktografie může být referenční rychlost odhadována přímo z obrazů lomových ploch.
