L'OBJECTIF DE CETTE ETUDE SUR DE LA PROPAGATION DES FISSURES PAR FATIGUE A HAUTE TEMPERATURE DANS L'ALLIAGE 718 EST D'UNE PART DE S'APPROCHER DES CONDITIONS REELLES D'UTILISATION ET D'AUTRE PART DE CONTRIBUER A LA COMPREHENSION DE L'EFFET D'UN TEMPS DE MAINTIEN PENDANT UN CYCLE DE FATIGUE. LE PREMIER ASPECT EST ABORDE PAR L'UTILISATION D'UNE PIECE INDUSTRIELLE REELLE (DISQUE DE TURBINE) DE LA PRODUCTION DE SNECMA MOTEURS. DES ESSAIS DE PROPAGATION EN FATIGUE-FLUAGE A 650\C SUR EPROUVETTES CT (FISSURES LONGUES 2D) AINSI QUE SUR EPROUVETTES KB 2.5 (PETITES FISSURES SEMI-CIRCULAIRES) MONTRENT UNE FORTE INTERACTION ENTRE L'ORIENTATION DU FRONT DE FISSURE ET LE FIBRAGE INDUIT PAR LES OPERATIONS DE MISE EN FORME. LORSQUE LE FRONT DE FISSURE EST PERPENDICULAIRE AU FIBRAGE, LE DELAMINAGE TRANSVERSE DES EPROUVETTES LE LONG D'ALIGNEMENTS DE PHASES ANNULE TOUT EFFET ACCELERATEUR DU TEMPS DE MAINTIEN. LORSQUE LE FRONT DE FISSURE SE PROPAGE ENTRE LES NAPPES DE PHASE , L'EFFET DE TEMPS DE MAINTIEN EST TRES MARQUE. SUR DEFAUT 3D, UNE FORTE ANISOTROPIE DE LA VITESSE DE PROPAGATION EST OBSERVEE, LIEE AUX EFFETS D'ENVIRONNEMENT CAR ABSENTE SOUS VIDE. POUR LE SECOND ASPECT, L'APPLICATION DE CHARGEMENTS MECANIQUES PLUS PROCHES DE LA REALITE QUE LE CYCLE DE FATIGUE-FLUAGE MONTRE QUE LA SENSIBILITE AU TEMPS DE MAINTIEN PEUT ETRE FORTEMENT REDUITE DES QU'ON DECHARGE MECANIQUEMENT L'EPROUVETTE AVANT L'APPLICATION DU PALIER (CYCLE AVEC PIC DE CONTRAINTE). DES 20% DE DECHARGE, L'EFFET D'UN TEMPS DE MAINTIEN DE 300S EST ANNULE. LA SIMULATION NUMERIQUE DE CE TYPE DE CHARGEMENT MONTRE QUE LES EFFETS D'ENVIRONNEMENT SONT ANNIHILES PAR UNE RELAXATION RAPIDE DES CONTRAINTES ET UNE FORTE DIMINUTION DE LA VITESSE DE DEFORMATION, EMPECHANT LE TRANSPORT DES ESPECES FRAGILISANTES DANS LE MATERIAU. DE PLUS, ON MONTRE QUE LA VARIATION DE LA TEMPERATURE PENDANT LE TEMPS DE MAINTIEN PEUT EGALEMENT MENER A UN FORT RALENTISSEMENT DE LA VITESSE DE PROPAGATION PAR RAPPORT A DES CONDITIONS ISOTHERMES.

RECHERCHE D'UN PARAMETRE DE CHARGEMENT SUSCEPTIBLE DE REPRESENTER CORRECTEMENT LA PROPAGATION DE FISSURES A HAUTE TEMPERATURE. DANS CE CAS, LE FACTEUR D'INTENSITE DE CONTRAINTE K EST LE PARAMETRE QUI PERMET LES MEILLEURS CORRELATIONS ENTRE VITESSE DE PROPAGATION ET VARIABLES EXPERIMENTALES. ACTION DE L'OXYGENE SUR LA PROPAGATION. MODELISATION DE LA PROPAGATION EN FLUAGE ET FATIGUE-FLUAGE

This volume contains the edited version of lectures and selected research contributions presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE on ADVANCES IN FATIGUE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. held in Alvor. Portugal, 4th to 15th of April 1988. and organized by CEMUL - Center of Mechanics and Materials of The Technical University of Lisbon. The Institute was attended by 101 participants, including 15 lecturers. from 14 countries. The participants were leading scientists and engineers from universities, research institutions and industry. and also Ph.D~ students. Some participants presented papers during the Institute reporting the state-of-art of their research projects. All the sessions wel'e very active and quite extensive discussions on scientific aspects took place during the Institute. The Advanced Study Institute provided a forum for interaction among eminent scientists and engineers. from different schools of thought and young researchers. The Institute addressed the foundations and current state of the art of essential aspects related to fatigue science and technology, namely: Short Cracks, Metallurgical Aspects, Environmental Fatigue, Threshold Behaviour, Notch Behaviour. Creep and Fatigue Interactions at High Temperature, Multiaxial Fatigue, Low Cycle Fatigue, Methodology of Fatigue Testing, Variable Amplitude Fatigue, Fatigue of Advanced Materials. Elastic-Plastic Fatigue, and several engineering applications such as welded joints, energy systems, offshore structures, automotive industry, machine and engine components. This book is organized in three parts: Part I: Fundamentals of Fatigue Part II: Engineering Applications Part III: Research Contributions The research contributions covered most of the areas referred above.

The overall objective of this work has been to develop and evaluate tools for designing against fatigue in gas turbine applications, with special focus on the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718.

This text comprises a collection of papers from the Fifth International Symposium on Superalloys 718, 625, 706 and Derivatives held in June, 2001 in Pittsburgh. This volume includes discussion on melting, solidification, casting, forming technology, thermal processing, and physical metallurgy.

This volume contains the edited version of lectures and selected research contributions presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE on MECHANICAL BEHA VI OUR OF MATERIALS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE, held in Sesimbra, Portugal, 12th-22nd September 1995, and organized by 1ST-Lisbon Institute of Technology, PortugaL The Institute was attended by 88 participants, including 15 lecturers from 17 countries including five CP countries. The lecturers were leading scientists and technologists from universities, research institutions and industry. The students were mainly young PhD students and junior academic or research staff with postgraduate qualifications (MSc or PhD). Fourteen students were from the five CP countries. The students presented research papers or posters during the Institute reporting the current progress of their research projects. A total of thirty three lectures, ten research papers and fifty posters were presented. This book does not contain the poster presentations and seven research papers were selected for publication. All the sessions were very active and quite extensive discussions on scientific aspects took place during the Institute. The Advanced Study Institute provided a forum for interaction among scientists and engineers from different areas of research, and young researchers.
