Original abstract

The kinetics of small fatigue crack growth at room temperature was measured by a direct observation of the shallow notch on a cylindrical specimen. The growth of the crack was measured within the range of half surface crack length from ~10 micrometers up to ~2 mm. A linear dependence between the crack growth rate and the crack length, observed in case of steels, was confirmed to be valid in the aluminium 6082/T6 alloy, too. The crack growth coefficient kg increases with plastic strain amplitude; this dependence is well described by a power law. The fatigue life prediction based on the crack growth measurements is compared with the Manson-Coffin law.

Sledána byla kinetika šíření krátkých únavových trhlin vznikajících v mělkém vrubu na válcových vzorcích vyrobených z hliníkové slitiny EN AW-6082/T6. Šíření trhlin bylo měřeno v rozmezí délek cca 10 micrometrů až 2 mm. Byla potvrzena lineární závislost rychlosti šíření trhliny a délky trhliny.
