The crack growth retardation and the location of fatigue crack initiation from stop-hole edge
under different mode-mixities are examined in this paper by means of a developed fatigue …

This paper investigated how the stop drilling procedure improved the crack initiation life and
the total fatigue life in specimens of 6061-T651 aluminium alloy and AISI 304 stainless steel …

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of a new stop-hole technique on the
subsequent delay in fatigue crack propagation. Single edge notch tension specimens of …

A technical method for arresting further crack growth from cracks by drilling holes in the
vicinity of the crack tips was investigated. A series of fatigue-crack-growth tests was …

The high capacity Si (4200 mA hg− 1, Li4. 4Si) commonly undergoes cracking and
delamination due to drastic volume change (∼ 300%) during lithiation/delithiation …

Force analysis using a compact tension model, as recommended by ASTM, was carried out
on a crack stop hole. The stress before, and after, drilling the hole was compared in terms of …

In this paper, the hole drilling (HD) and the cold expansion (CE) processes, which were
used as a technique for crack repair, were investigated in order to estimate the beneficial …

The effect of drilling two symmetric holes along the crack flanks on the fatigue crack growth
(FCG) rate was evaluated numerically. The FCG increases (decreases) when the crack tip is …

The crack growth retardation is studied theoretically by drilling two symmetric holes at
appropriate locations along the crack flanks. A fatigue crack growth code for two …

A numerical model of fatigue crack growth retardation in polymers induced by artificial crack
closure is proposed. The approach relies on the combination of cohesive modeling and a …
