Effect of Rod-like Structure on Fatigue Life, Short Surface Crack Initiation and Growth Characteristics of Extruded Aluminum Alloy A2024 (Analysis via Modified Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics)

In the Al alloy A2024-T3 extruded material, a rod-like structure is generated parallel to the extrusion direction. In this study, the effects of rod-like structures on fatigue crack initiation and growth behavior were comprehensively investigated. Two types of specimens were used in a fatigue experi...
