closure experiments were performed on 6061-T6 altinium alloy using a crack opening displacement gauge for various overload ratios (1.44, 1.67,1.87 and 2.06). The single overload cycle is given at the beginning, after exhausting 25% of the constant amplitude loading (CAL) life and 50% of the CAL life of the specimen. On the basis of these experiments one expression is developed to predict delay cycles due to application of overload cycle. The overloads produce a beneficial effect when they are given early. Later overloads, although giving an increase in life, produce a response of lesser magnitude. The experimental results are plotted on a log-log graph of Nn/N,, versus overload ratio. The experimental data are fitted on a straight line. One power law is developed.

Fatigue crack growth delay resulting from a single cycle overload is analytically predicted using constant amplitude test data in a fractional calculus form of the Paris crack growth law. The crack growth rate of the Paris law is written as a fractional derivative whose order is given by the overloa
