Corrosion Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior Of Aircraft Materials, Tarun Goswami, D. W. Hoeppner
Corrosion Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior Of Aircraft Materials, Tarun Goswami, D. W. Hoeppner
Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications
The effects of test parameters on the corrosion fatigue crack growth behavior of structural materials have been examined in this paper. Test parameters such as stress ratio, frequency, hold time, temperature, pH level of the media, and other parameters are known to alter the corrosion fatigue crack growth rates in structural materials. Numerous laboratory test variables that affect the crack growth and/or corrosion growth rates, which in an operating environment of an aircraft are not characterized, are reviewed. A summary of such information may help determine the inspection intervals of the new and aged airplanes, perform the inspections, and develop …
Review Of Pit Nucleation, Growth And Pitting Corrosion Fatigue Mechanisms, Tarun Goswami, D. W. Hoeppner
Review Of Pit Nucleation, Growth And Pitting Corrosion Fatigue Mechanisms, Tarun Goswami, D. W. Hoeppner
Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications
This paper presents a review of the state of the art developments in the pitting corrosion fatigue of aircraft structural materials. Mechanisms that govern the nucleation and growth of pitting and corrosion fatigue (CF) are briefly addressed. Some of the developments made in the author's laboratories in proposing the fretting induced pit nucleation and growth mechanisms, analysis of the hidden corrosion constituents in fuselage joints and pitting corrosion fatigue crack growth (PCFCG) model are elucidated. An epistemology of the topic is presented which will be of assistance to the community working in this area.
