Finite element analysis of fretting crack propagation
In this work, the finite elements method (FEM) is used to analyse the growth of fretting cracks. FEM can be favourably used to extract the stress intensity factors in mixed mode, a typical situation for cracks growing in the vicinity of a fretting ...

An evaluation of the pressure proof test concept for thin sheet 2024-T3 [PDF]
The concept of pressure proof testing of fuselage structures with fatigue cracks to insure structural integrity was evaluated from a fracture mechanics viewpoint. A generic analytical and experimental investigation was conducted on uniaxially loaded flat

Environmental fatigue of an Al-Li-Cu alloy. Part 3: Modeling of crack tip hydrogen damage [PDF]
Environmental fatigue crack propagation rates and microscopic damage modes in Al-Li-Cu alloy 2090 (Parts 1 and 2) are described by a crack tip process zone model based on hydrogen embrittlement. Da/dN sub ENV equates to discontinuous crack advance over a

Crack Growth Analysis for F-111 Aircraft Nacelle Structure [PDF]
In order to understand the effect of local aerodynamic intake loads in addition to the regular primary flight loads on fatigue cracking in the F-111 aircraft nacelle former and surrounding intake structure, a numerical procedure has been developed.

Measurement and analysis of critical crack tip processes during fatigue crack growth [PDF]
The mechanics of fatigue crack growth under constant-amplitudes and variable-amplitude loading were examined. Critical loading histories involving relatively simple overload and overload/underload cycles were studied to provide a basic understanding of ...
