Abstract
In this work low frequency cyclic loading was applied to a fatigue pre-cracked wedge opening loaded (WOL) sample. The resulting in-plane displacement fields were measured using a 2D image correlation method. Muskhelishvili's complex function approach was used to represent the displacements and thereby obtain the stress intensity factors (SIFs) directly without differentiation to give strain. The SIFs were monitored throughout 3 loading cycles. Overall the inferred SIFs agree well with the nominal applied values. The biggest difference of approximately 10% was observed when the nominal SIFs were close to the fracture toughness. Thus the difference may arise from the effects of the crack tip plasticity. We hope to extended this technique to real time fatigue crack monitoring in the future.
