Thermal activation of fatigue crack growth: analysing the mechanisms of fatigue crack propagation in superalloys
A method for deriving apparent activation energies, Eapp, for fatigue crack growth (FCG) is presented. It is shown how these Eapp values can be used to analyse the main underlying mechanism causing the progression of the crack. The Eapp values for fatigue crack growth in air and vacuum, and with and...
