MODELING OF MIXED-MODE CRACK GROWTH BEHAVIOR IN LB-PBF TI-6AL-4V USING A CRITICAL PLANE FRAMEWORK
Ali FatemiGrand Ballroom E
Many service loading conditions are multiaxial, and small cracks have been shown in many situations to grow in mode II or mixed-mode due to the orientation of defects and microstructural effects, particularly in additively manufactured metals. This paper uses fracture mechanics with a critical plane framework to predict crack growth rates using only mode I constants from the literature.
