    Notes: Abstract— A new approach to the solution of stress intensity factors from isochromatic data has been developed and is based on complex Fourier analysis. Solutions are shown to be accurate when the loading of the crack tip is predominantly Mode II and also for cases that are generally mixed-mode. The new method and its application to a four-point-bend test is described in this paper. Tests on angled-edge-cracked specimens have also been performed to show the validity of the method for a range of mixed-mode loadings.

    Notes: Thermoelastic stress analysis has been developed in recent years as a direct method of investigating the crack tip stresses in a structure under cyclic loading. This is a consequence of the fact that stress intensity factors obtained from thermoelastic experiments are determined from the cyclic stress field ahead of a fatigue crack, rather than inferred from measurement of the crack length and load range. In the present paper the results of fatigue crack growth tests performed on welded ferritic steel plates are reported. From the results it can be observed that the technique is sensitive to the effects of crack closure and the presence of tensile and compressive residual stresses due to welding.

    Notes: This paper presents some results obtained from synchrotron diffraction investigations into two somewhat related areas of interest to the fatigue community. Firstly, the influence of fatigue cycling on the distribution and magnitude of residual strains and stresses and, secondly, the residual strains and stresses engendered around a growing fatigue crack. Its main premise is that modern tools such as automated synchrotron strain scanning offer the potential for more complete insight into the distribution of residual strains and stresses and their influence on fatigue performance. The first part of the work was accomplished using friction-stir welded (FSW) and metal-inert gas (MIG) welded specimens. The particular interest in these specimens was obtaining detailed knowledge regarding as-welded variation in residual stresses between specimens, the location of peak values relative to local microstructure and stress concentrations, and of their modification during fatigue cycling. Such information may indicate a route forward to the selection of welding process parameters for optimised fatigue performance. The second part of the work considered an established fatigue crack in a compact tension (CT) specimen and examined the ability of synchrotron diffraction to characterize the stresses associated with the plastic enclave around a fatigue crack. This work is of interest in the context of better knowledge of crack-tip shielding by plasticity-induced closure and its incorporation into life prediction methodologies.

    Notes: Abstract— The method of caustics was used to determine the stress intensity factor of fatigue cracks in steel compact tension specimens. Under zero load a residual caustic was observed at the tip of a fatigue crack indicating the presence of a residual stress field. Caustics were generated at increasing static loads and the stress intensity factors were compared with those predicted by theory. It was found that the difference between each measured stress intensity factor and its corresponding theoretical value was a constant for the range of loads. This difference was shown statistically to be equal to the stress intensity factor determined from the residual caustic. The proposed mechanism for the formation of this residual caustic was probably due to crack tip plasticity effects and not due to crack closure. It was concluded that residual caustics can be measured to quantify crack tip behaviour in fatigue cracks and have been shown to be a useful tool in the measurement of residual stress fields.

    Notes: Four optical techniques for evaluating stress intensity factors in opaque specimens are described in outline, and compared for both an artificial crack and a fatigue crack. The results are compared to a standard solution for the geometry considered. All the techniques gave acceptable results over a range of stress levels and crack lengths. The methods of caustics and strain gauges were less good, whilst photoelasticity gave consistent results over a wide range of stress levels. Comments on the ease of application and the resource implications are also made in order to assist practitioners.

    Notes: Abstract— Transmission and reflection photoelasticity has been used to determine the stress intensity factors for artificial cracks emanating from a hole in two-dimensional tensile plates. Three geometries were investigated, namely a free hole, a pin-loaded hole and a hole with an interference-fit pin. All these cases relate to situations commonly found in aircraft structures. The results have been compared where possible with analytical data and a good correlation was found for these cases.

    Notes: The approach to predicting fatigue limits from calculated stress concentration factors, using thread load distributions obtained from analytical theories is examined. In particular combinations of the methods of Shigley, Otaki, Heywood, Birger, Bluhm and Flanagan, Sopwith and a modification to Sopwith's theory are assessed against fatigue test data and photoelastic results for a range of bolt and nut geometries. The Snow-Langer-Cook, the Goodman and the Gerber methods of allowing for the effect of mean stress were also examined. It was concluded that mean stress effects are significant, that none of the theories are sufficiently sensitive to changes in geometry, and that they seriously overestimate the fatigue limit when the geometry is more severe than the standard. The use of Sopwith's theory of load distribution combined with Heywood's method and the Snow-Langer-Cook technique was found to be the safest for design purposes, but not the most accurate.

    Notes: Abstract— An alternative methodology is presented for determining stress intensity factors for cracks subject to mixed-mode displacements. The methodology involves thermoelastic data generated from a SPATE (Stress Pattern Analysis by Thermal Emission) system and has been adapted from one used successfully in photoelasticity. The thermoelastic data is collected throughout the elastic stress field dominated by the crack tip singularity. The stress field is described using a Fourier series within Muskhelishvili's approach. This method allows different applied stress fields to be described which may include transient or non-uniform stress fields. The results obtained using the new methodology are at least as good as those obtained previously for pure mode I cases, and generally better for mixed mode displacement conditions.

    Notes: Abstract Three-dimensional photoelasticity has been used to examine the effect of eccentric loading on the stress distribution along the helix of the roots of threaded fasteners. In the investigation the ratios of axial to bending stress were similar to those found commonly in engineering components. The results showed that, as the level of eccentricity increased, the maximum stress in helix of the thread root did not change significantly, but there was an increase in the length of helix which experienced high stress. This will lead to an increase in the probability of crack initiation and propagation in the presence of eccentric loading.
