Lecture

Fatigue Crack Propagation

Description

This lecture covers the behavior of fatigue crack nucleation and propagation in titanium and its alloys, emphasizing the factors influencing crack initiation and growth. It discusses the impact of microstructure, grain size, and alloy composition on fatigue strength and crack propagation. The exercises focus on interpreting S-N and da/dN - AK plots, explaining the effects of oxygen content and grain size on fatigue behavior, and proposing solutions to reduce Young's Modulus for biomedical applications.
