MICROVOID CHARACTERISTICS AT FRACTURE IN ASTM A992 STEEL UNDER MONOTONIC AND ULTRA-LOW CYCLE FATIGUE LOADING

MICROVOID CHARACTERISTICS AT FRACTURE IN ASTM A992 STEEL UNDER MONOTONIC AND ULTRA-LOW CYCLE FATIGUE LOADING

Surajit DeyDogwood A

Ductile fracture is the fracture initiating mechanism in steel structures subjected to both overloading and ultra-low cycle fatigue (ULCF) loading. This paper aims to characterize the statistical distribution of microvoids on the fracture surface of structural steel specimens subjected to monotonic and ULCF loading by employing advanced microscopy techniques. Furthermore, the relationship between the experimentally inferred mean microvoid size and the state of stress and strain is investigated.
