Abstract

The evaluation of cyclic crack propagation due to missions with varying mixed-mode conditions is an important topic in industrial applications. This paper focuses on the determination of the resulting propagation direction. Two criteria are analyzed, the dominant step criterion and the averaged angle criterion, and compared with experimental data from tension-torsion tests with and without phase shift. The comparison shows that the dominant step criterion yields better results for small to moderate values of the phase shift. For a large phase shift of 90°, the experimental results are not very consistent, and therefore, no decisive conclusions can be drawn.
