The influence of stress ratio R and stress intensity range AK on crack closure and fatigue crack growth were studied. Crack closure and crack growth experiments were performed on 6063-T6 Al alloy. Crack closure stresses were measured using a surface-measurement technique with a COD gauge. The gauge was placed at different locations behind the crack tip, and it was found that the location of the gauge does not influence the closure load. The closure load was however found to be a function of R and AK. Fatigue crack growth rate is found to depend upon R, U and AK. A model for both U and daldN has been developed.
