β¦ Synopsis
Hold time effects on fatigue crack retardation in two high strength aluminum alloys (2219 and 7075) were studied for different metallurgical conditions. Experiments were performed in humid air as well as in vacuum. It was observed that as the hold time at zero load increased, the number of delay cycles decreased in general. This observation is then explained in terms of a strain relaxation phenomenon and a crack closure model. The data indicates that the relaxation effects were greater in humid air than in vacuum. Some visual evidence of surface hammering during retardation was found.

## Abstract In titanium alloys an effect of hold time at maximum load in a cyclic test is observed if K~max~ exceeds the threshold for crack propagation at a constant load test. For tests in air it is possible to predict crack growth rate for a hold time cycle from the crack growth rates from a cyc
The effect of blank-holding on the hole-flanging process was investigated using numerical and experimental analysis. Hole-flanging was performed with fixed blank-holder, without blank-holder, with constant blank-holding force and with progressive blank-holding force. Progressive blank-holding force
