โฆ Synopsis
The purpose of this research was to compare the resistance to the onset of multi-site damage in thin 2024-T3 and 2524-T3 sheet. Aluminum alloy 2524-T3 is a relatively new fuselage skin sheet material that may offer improved performance with respect to the onset of multi-site damage. The alloys were compared on the basis of crack size frequency distributions measured from multi-hole specimens with and without prior corrosion subjected to cyclic loading. The crack size distributions for the pristine bare and alclad sheet showed no significant difference between 2024-T3 and 2524-T3. When prior corrosion is present, however, thin, bare 2524-T3 offers improved resistance to the onset of multi-site damage.

For transport aircraft with long lifetimes, crack growth data to implement the durability life requirements in the low AK range are needed. This is the region comprising most of the lifetime for the cracks of interest, and it is also the region where there is little data available. Crack growth data
## Experimental investigations have been carried out to study the effect of specimen configuration and loading history on the crack growth behaviour of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy at room temperature. It has been observed that fatigue crack growth rate in specimens loaded symmetrically is higher than
The aluminum alloy 2524 (Al-Cu-Mg) was developed during the 90s mainly to be employed in aircraft fuselage panels, replacing the standard Al 2024. In the present analysis the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of 2524-T3 was investigated, regarding the influence of three parameters: load ratio, pre
