Measurements of fatigue failure strength of laser-cracked fused silica in air at room temperature for different numbers of laser shots and laser fluences are presented. The failure-strength variability is found to be due mainly to the spectrum of crack depths. Agreement with theory suggests the incorporation of a residual term into the failure–strength equation. Due to its sign, the residual stress is of mouth-opening displacement nature at the crack. Analysis of the residual stress data shows a linear proportionality with crack depth, whereas the failure–strength is inversely proportional to the square root of the crack depth.
本文介绍了室温下不同激光发射次数和激光通量下空气中激光裂纹熔融石英的疲劳破坏强度测量结果。结果发现,失效强度的变化主要是由裂纹深度谱造成的。与理论一致的结论表明,应在破坏强度方程中加入残余项。根据其符号,残余应力在裂缝处具有张口位移的性质。对残余应力数据的分析表明,残余应力与裂纹深度成线性比例,而破坏强度与裂纹深度的平方根成反比。
