Stress Ratio and Notch Effect on Fatigue Crack Initiation and Propagation in 2024 Al-alloy
Authors: N. Benachour, A. Hadjoui, M. Benachour, M. Benguediab
Abstract:
This study reports an empirical investigation of fatigue crack initiation and propagation in 2024 T351 aluminium alloy using constant amplitude loading. In initiation stage, local strain approach at the notch was used and in stable propagation stage NASGRO model was applied. In this investigation, the flat plate of double through crack at hole is used. Based on experimental results (AFGROW Database), effect of stress ratio, R, is highlights on fatigue initiation life (FIL) and fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR). The increasing of dimension of hole characterizing the notch effect decrease the fatigue life.Keywords: Fatigue crack growth, initiation life, Al-Alloy, stressratio, notch effect
