Investigation of residual stress induced crack closure and its effects on fatigue in metal matrix composites
The effects of fatigue crack closue induced by crack-tip plasticity, and by the long range residual stresses in particular, on crack growth rates were considered for an aluminium alloy matrix composite reinforced with particulate SiC. This included the analysis of experimental measurements of crack...
