Retardation of Fatigue Crack Growth in Rotating Bending Specimens with Semi-Elliptical Cracks

This work investigates overload-induced retardation effects for semi-elliptically cracked steel round bars. The specimen geometry equals the shaft area of a 1:3 down-scaled railway axle and the material is extracted from railway axle blanks made of EA4T steel. Rotating bending tests under constant a...
