Abstract
An engineering procedure is described to predict notch root fatigue crack growth under spectrum loading . Long crack growth rate and closure data, notch root stress-strain analysis and Rainflow cycle counting constitute major inputs to the prediction process . The procedure models non uniform extension of the part-through crack front, crack growth in compression fatigue and the effect of tensile and compressive overloads. Crack growth predictions under constant amplitude and combat aircraft spectrum loading were compared with data from the literature for 2 .3 mm and 6 .25 mm thick 2024-T3 alloy sheet material . Good predictions were obtained for the thicker material using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics approach . The thinner material required inclusion of strainbased intensity and residual stress effects for more realistic predictions . Neglecting these factors as a rule provided unconservative life estimates .
