Abstract

The damage evolution during fatigue of a particulate-reinforced metal matrix composite was investigated experimentally by two methods, i. e., by the measurement of the samples’ stiffness values within individual stress – strain hysteresis loops and by the measurement and evaluation of the acoustic emission during cyclic deformation. Both methods indicate that the first damage occurs during the first loading cycle, in tension as well as in compression. After a short period of a high damage rate which is due to fracture of large particles, a longer range of a smaller damage rate follows, in which smaller particles break. Finally, both methods indicate the growth of the main (and final) fatigue crack.

Abstract

Die Entwicklung der Ermüdungsschädigung eines partikelverstärkten Metallmatrix-Verbundwerkstoffes wurde experimentell mit zwei Methoden, nämlich der Messung der Probensteifigkeit innerhalb einzelner Spannung –Dehnung-Hysteresekurven und mit der Messung und Auswertung der während der zyklischen Verformung auftretenden akustischen Emission, untersucht. Beide Verfahren zeigen, dass die erste Schädigung bereits bei dem ersten Belastungszyklus auftritt, und zwar sowohl im Zug als auch im Druck. Nach einer kurzen Periode einer hohen Schädigungsrate, die auf das Brechen von großen Partikeln zurückgeführt wird, folgt ein längerer Bereich mit einer geringeren Schädigungsrate, in dem kleinere Partikel brechen. Gegen Ende der Ermüdungslebensdauer zeigen beide Verfahren das Wachstum des Ermüdungsrisses.
