Sustained-load crack-growth experiments were conducted under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. Temperature cycling was conducted between 537° and 649°C. Hold times at minimum and/or maximum temperature were included in the temperature profiles. An analytical model was developed to predict crack-growth rates based solely on isothermal data. The linear cumulative damage model was able to predict crack-growth rates in Inconel 718 for all the temperature profiles investigated including a proof test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
