Literature regarding the appearence of cracks in steel. Thermal, pressure fatigue
Forums
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica
Hello!
I am wondering if anyone could recomend som literature for me to get my hands on.
If there is any literature regarding how the appereance of a crack in a piece of thin metal (~0,5mm - 1 mm) could be related to pressure fatigue or thermal fatigue.
Does the crack due to thermal fatigue have a specific appereance and so on. I need get my hands on practical pictures and so on, not equations.
Are there any signs in the vicinity of the crack that is indicating that this could be due to pressure fatigue.
Any help is much appreciated.
