    Mechanisms of cyclic softening in precipitation-hardening alloys—A ball model approach and tests at 78 K

    Tests of random, alternating cuts on a ball-model of θ″ in Al−Cu alloy have been run to check the kinetics at which disordering occurs in an initially ordered precipitate subject to cyclic strain. In addition,...

    A theory of crack nucleation in high strain fatigue

    From previous observations of the surfaces of metals cycled in high strain fatigue, the mechanism of crack nucleation is considered a plastic instability phenomenon. A model for crack nucleation based on this ...

    On fatigue-induced reversion and overaging in dispersion strengthened alloy systems

    The low fatigue strength/U.T.S. ratios of dispersion strengthened aluminum alloys may be explained by the presence of transgranular, precipitate-free bands in their microstructures. Since transgranular crack i...
