The tension–tension and compression–compression cyclic properties are measured for an open cell “Duocel” foam of composition Al 6101–T6, and a closed cell “Alporas” foam of composition Al–5Ca–3Ti (wt%). The Duocel foam has a relatively uniform microstructure, and undergoes homogeneous straining in both monotonic and fatigue tests. In contrast, the Alporas foam is more irregular in microstructure,...
Synchrotron X-ray microtomography has been utilized for the in situ observation of fatigue crack opening/closure during load cycles. High-resolution phase contrast imaging technique has enabled the reconstruction of clear crack images together with the details of microstructural features. Physical displacements of micro-pores in a crack-tip stress field are used to obtain local mixed-mode crack driving...
