Effects Of Foreign Object Damage From Small Hard Particles On The High-Cycle Fatigue Life Of Ti-6a1-4v, Joseph L. Hamrick Ii
Effects Of Foreign Object Damage From Small Hard Particles On The High-Cycle Fatigue Life Of Ti-6a1-4v, Joseph L. Hamrick Ii
Theses and Dissertations
Thin rectangular samples of Ti-6Al-4V were damaged by four methods to represent foreign object damage found in turbine engine blades: 1) impact with 2 mm and 5 mm diameter glass spheres at 305 m/s, 2) impact with 2 mm and 4 mm diameter steel spheres at 305 m/s, 3) quasi-static displacement controlled indentation using steel chisels with 1 mm, 2 mm and 5 mm diameter tips and 4) shearing notches with a 2 mm diameter chisel point under a quasi-static loading condition. Finite element analysis was used to study the relationship between the stress state created by the plastic damage …
