Experimental Investigation of Crack Propagation and Strain Fields Evolution around a Crack Tip in 5A05 Aluminum Alloy

In situ scanning electron microscopy three-point bending test was employed in this study to investigate the crack initiation and propagation in 5A05 aluminum alloy. The microscale strain fields around the crack tip were measured by using the geometric phase analysis method. Results show that prior t...
