Crack detection in aluminium 2024-T3 plates and in an Airbus A320 slat-track using electrical crack gauges KU Leuven
Acoustic emission monitoring of crack propagation in additively manufactured and conventional titanium components Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a novel and innovative production technology that can produce complex and lightweight engineering products. In AM components, as in all engineering materials, fatigue is considered as one of the principle causes of unexpected failure. In order to detect, localise and characterise cracks in various material components and metals, acoustic emission (AE) is used as a non-destructive monitoring technique. One of the ...

On the connection between Palmgren-Miner rule and crack propagation laws Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The classical Palmgren-Miner (PM) rule, despite clearly approximation, is commonly applied for the case of variable amplitude loading, and to date, there is no simple alternative. In the literature, previous authors have commented that the PM hypothesis is based on an exponential fatigue crack growth law, ie, when da/dN is proportional to the crack size a, the case that includes also Paris law for m=2, in particular. This is because they ...
