This note describes the present status of a simple closure measurement technique, based upon a new analytic interpretation, and is initially applied to aluminum and titanium alloys. The proposeed procedure implements only one experimentally determined parameter for the assessment of the closure load

In order to assess fatigue crack propagation, one of the most-used laws is due to Elber. This involves, however, accurate measurement of the opening load of the crack which is closed at its tip. We propose a new ultrasonic method based on wave diffraction by the crack tip and a record of the echodyn
Closure load measurements were performed on an experimental Ni base superalloy compact tension (CT) specimen which exhibited a significant degree of surface roughness. To calibrate the test procedure, a back face strain gage, front face clip gage and a laser extensometer were used to measure the loa
