title = "Three-dimensional characterization of fatigue crack propagation behavior in an aluminum alloy using high resolution X-ray microtomography",
abstract = "Synchrotron X-ray microtomography was used to investigate the three-dimensional fatigue crack propagation behavior of an aluminum alloy. Local crack growth rates along specimen thickness were calculated. Crack observation revealed that crack propagation was retarded in three regions where there exist overlapping crack segments. Crack growth retardation was found to occur in these crack overlapping regions due to stress shielding. Observation of crack propagation process indicated that one of the overlapping crack segments initiated from the twisted crack. Crack tip opening displacement was measured and it was found that crack opening was larger in single planar crack region than that in crack overlapping region.",
