Retardation of fatigue crack growth rate due to the introduction of thin, compliant and/or soft interlayers is investigated. The mechanism is the reduction of the crack driving force in the interlayer. Fatigue tests are conducted on composites made of high-strength aluminum alloy as matrix and technically pure aluminum or adhesive as interlayer material. The adhesive interlayer causes an increase...
Nanolaminates of Cu and W with a bilayer thickness ratio of 1:1 and individual layer thicknesses of 5, 20 and 100nm were studied by using elevated temperature microcompression. Failure in all the multilayers with different interlayer thicknesses occurs by rupture of the W interlayers, resulting in local strain softening and shearing at ambient temperature and lateral plastic flow of the Cu layers...
