title = "Experimental technique to study the tensile fatigue behavior of metallic foils",
abstract = "Details are provided for a new experimental apparatus that can be used to investigate the Mode I fatigue crack growth behavior of ultra-thin metallic foils. The technique utilizes magnetic coupling between a ceramic magnet and eccentric rotating disk to develop axial loads in notched rectangular test specimens. A wide range of materials, including metallic foils, polymer films and nano-phase materials can be studied. To illustrate the technique, the cyclic crack growth behavior of a 0.03 mm thick titanium foil (99.6% purity) was investigated at a loading frequency of 2 Hz.",
