Statistical Prediction of Crack Growth in a Tensioned Steel Band
Thursday, April 27, 2000 4:00 p.m. Dr. David C. Swanson Pennsylvania State University State College, Pennsylvania http://www.psu.edu Bending waves on a mid-way notched steel band under constant tension are monitored during many hours of transverse vibration excitation until the band breaks due to crack growth across the notched area. The crack growth is experimentally observable…
