Research abstract
The current Phase II program is focused on refining, verifying and validating of an affordable test method to extract local crack growth data for cracks propagating through Microtexture Regions (MTRs) in titanium material. Per the solicitation, emphasis will be given to near-threshold cold dwell crack growth conditions where the crack tip constraint may be considered to be plane strain. Under these conditions, the crack growth acceleration due to the presence of MTRs is believed to be maximized.
