Experimental crack length measurement under variable temperature using a thin film AC potential difference technique
An alternating current (AC) potential drop (PD) method is developed for measuring crack length under combined thermal and mechanical loading. An insulated aluminum film deposited on the surface of center cracked 6061-T6 aluminum alloy test specimens provides a medium for the measurement of PD data u...
