A Modified Loading Method for Separating the Effect of Residual Stress on Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of Welded Joints [PDF]
A novel loading method is proposed to remove the effect of residual stress on measured fatigue crack growth rate in welded joint, using which the influence of empirical crack growth rate correlation equations on the results can be avoided.

Low Temperature Fatigue Crack Growth Test and Life Estimation of 7475-T7351 Al-ally by ANN [PDF]
In the present wok fatigue crack growth tests have been performed under interspersed mode-I overload on 7475-T7351 Al-alloy. The overloads with an overload ratio of 2 were given at 0C, ndash;30C, ndash;45C, ndash;60C, and ndash;75C at a loading rate of 7

Predicting fatigue crack growth rate in a welded butt joint: The role of effective R ratio in accounting for residual stress effect [PDF]
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 ...
