An analytical fracture mechanics model for predicting the finite life fatigue strength of components is
presented which combines a number of well established and newly developed approaches such as
Murakami's and McEvily's approach for describing the transient behaviour of crack closure of short
cracks, the analytical (long) crack closure function of Newman which became part of the widely used
NASGRO approach, the R6 procedure, a method for improving the ligament yielding correction f(Lr ) of
R6 proposed by the authors of the present paper and other elements. Basic assumption is the preexistence
of initial flaws such that the crack initiation or nucleation stage is small and can be neglected.
The application of the model is demonstrated for small tension plates of aluminium Al 5380 H321 with
artificial initial defects generated by FIB technology, the size of which was fixed on the basis of
fractographic investigations on broken, smooth specimens.
This paper presents the application of short crack propagation models based on the cyclic R-curve for assessing the fatigue strength of additively manufactured (AM) materials containing fabrication defects. Chapetti’s and IBESS models were implemented in combination with Murakami’s √area parameter, considering recently published data on laser powder bed fusion processed AISI 316L stainless steels. Estimated S-N curves and Kitagawa-Takahashi diagrams predict fairly well the experimental data, especially the origin of the failure from internal or surface defects. These results provide an indication that the methods based on the cyclic R-curve constitute suitable tools for fatigue behavior assessment of AM materials.
