Abstract: Based on the digital image correlation technology, a nonlinear iterative method is used to fit the surface displacement field of the industrial pure titanium CT sample, so as to obtain the law of the crack tip position changing with the load before, during, and after overload. The crack opening displacement is obtained using the digital image correlation technology, the crack opening force is measured by the indirect method, and then the influence of overload on crack closure effect is studied. Comparing the strain field near the crack tip in the unloaded state between the cycle before overload and the cycle during overload, combined with the variation of the crack tip position with load and the crack opening force corresponding to the cycle, the analysis shows that the overload causes a large plastic deformation in the region near the crack tip, which is remained to a large extent even after unloading, resulting the weakening of the crack closure effect. As a result, the change of the crack tip position with the load after the overload is obviously different from that before the overload, and there is no obvious turning point in the force-displacement curve.

Key words: overload, crack closure, crack opening force, digital image correlation technology
