A mathematical model of fatigue crack propagation based on the crack closure concept is proposed. It allows prediction of fatigue crack growth under complex loading sequences on the basis of data obtained under constant amplitude and simple High-Low, Low-High loading sequences. The model explains th

β¦ Synopsis
A multi-variable regression analysis is made of crack propagation data under flight simulation loading for the 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 alloys. The study is made using an equivalent effective stress range concept based on crack closure considerations. A two-variable regression model of the equivalent stress range is suggested. The model is used to calculate fatigue crack propagation lives. Predictions using the proposed model are compared with empirical results. It is shown that the model accounts for the influence of maximum, minimum and mean stress lev.els of the load spectrum. a du/dN GTAC kl, k2

The results of fatigue crack growth tests under a block loading consisting of four mean levels are analyzed in terms of equivalent constant amplitude loading concepts. The different models used to determine the equivalent loadings are based on the root mean square (RMS) method, a modified method bas
