Effect of rolling on fatigue crack growth rate of Wire and Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM) processed Titanium [PDF]
, 2013 Titanium (Ti) alloys have been commonly used in the aerospace industry, not only because they have a high strength-to-weight ratio (comparing to the steels) but also their satisfactory corrosion resistance.

Evaluation of the intrinsic crack growth rates of weld joints [PDF]
, 2011 A method is presented for evaluating weld intrinsic fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) by excluding the influence of residual stresses. The method is potentially useful for predicting crack growth lives of structural components using measured FCGR data ...

An inverse method for evaluating weld residual stresses via fatigue crack growth test data [PDF]
, 2010 This paper presents an inverse method for calculating the thermal residual stresses in welded specimens via measured fatigue crack growth rates. Firstly, fracture-mechanics superposition law has been used to extract the stress intensity factor due to ...

Predicting fatigue crack growth rate in a welded butt joint: The role of effective R ratio in accounting for residual stress effect [PDF]
, 2009 A simple and efficient method is presented in this paper for predicting fatigue crack growth rate in welded butt joints. Three well-known empirical crack growth laws are employed using the material constants that were obtained from the base material ...

Size effects on residual stress and fatigue crack growth in friction stir welded 2195-T8 aluminium - Part I: Experiments [PDF]
, 2011 Residual stress fields were measured in three different sizes of Compact-Tension (C(T)) and eccentrically loaded single edge notch (ESE(T)) specimens containing transverse or longitudinal welds. The effect of size on residual stress profiles was studied.
