Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components. Depending on fretting and fatigue loading conditions, crack nucleation and possibly crack propagation can be activated. T

โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes research directed toward developing the "crack growth gage" technique for tracking fatigue damage in a fleet of similar structures. The long-term goal is to provide a simple field level technique for assessing the severity of service loads with respect to their potential for causing fatigue crack growth. The current work was directed at designing a thin crack gage coupon which simulates plane strain behavior in the thin coupons. A series of experiments was conducted with the side-grooved crack gage geometry, and employed a variety of constant amplitude. single peak overload and variable amplitude load histories. The experimental behavior is predicted quite well by a load independent model developed previously.

## Abstract In this paper we examine a conventional approach to correlate the fatigue crack growth rate with fracture mechanics parameters such as stress intensity factor or elastic energy release rate. To simulate a complex loading history we grow a fatigue crack in a vicinity of a hole in a singl
