Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth of Aeronautical Aluminum Alloy
In this paper fatigue crack growth behavior of
aeronautical aluminum alloy 2024 T351 was studied. Effects of
various loading and geometrical parameters are studied such as stress
ratio, amplitude loading, etc. The fatigue crack growth with constant
amplitude is studied using the AFGROW code when NASGRO
model is used. The effect of the stress ratio is highlighted, where one
notices a shift of the curves of crack growth. The comparative study
between two orientations L-T and T-L on fatigue behavior are
presented and shows the variation on the fatigue life. L-T orientation
presents a good fatigue crack growth resistance. Effects of crack
closure are shown in Paris domain and that no crack closure
phenomenons are present at high stress intensity factor.
