Static fatigue
Static fatigue describes how prolonged and constant cyclic stress weakens a material until it breaks apart, which is called failure.[1] Static fatigue is sometimes called "delayed fracture".[2] The damage occurs at a lower stress level than the stress level needed to create a normal tensile fracture.[2] Static fatigue can involve plastic deformation[3] or crack growth.[4][5] For example, repeated stress can create small cracks that grow and eventually break apart plastic,[6] glass,[7] or ceramic[8] materials. The material reaches failure faster by increasing cyclic stress. Static fatigue varies with material type and environmental factors, such as moisture presence[9] and temperature.[10][11]
Applications
[edit]Static fatigue tests can estimate a material’s lifetime[12] and hardness to different environments.[13] However, measuring a static fatigue limit can take a long time, and it is hard to measure a material’s true static fatigue limit with full certainty.[12]
Typical occurrence
[edit]
Stress corrosion cracking
[edit]Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) happens when a stressed material is in a corrosive (chemically destructive) environment.[14] One example of SSC embrittlement is when moisture increases static fatigue effects in glass.[15] SCC is also seen in hydrogen embrittlement,[16][17] embrittlement of some polymers,[18] and more.
Plastic Deformation (Plastic Flow)
[edit]Plastic deformation happens when stresses flatten, bend, or twist a material until it cannot return to its original shape.[19] This can create cracks in the material and decrease its lifetime ultimately leading to the deformation of plastic.[3]
Examples of Static Fatigue and Stresses on Materials
[edit]Plastic pipes under water or other fluids experience hydrodynamic forces that can result in fatigue.[20] The pipes reach failure sooner as temperatures and exposure to aggressive substances increase.[20] For static fatigue tests, rotating machines apply weight on the material under study causing it to bend in different directions, which weakens the material overtime.[21]
