Simulation of crack growth life in the skin elements of aviation constructions under variable-amplitude loading
Abstract
The paper shows possibility to use Paris-Erdogan equation for simulation of fatigue crack growth under random loading. In the considered equation effective stress intensity factor range was introduced. The introduced methodology for crack growth simulation is based on the concept of a “basic” random loading. The discussed methodology included consideration of overloads influence on the fatigue crack growth. The theoretical models are based on the experimental researches of fatigue crack growth under random loading that have realized during specimens fatigue tests of two Al-based alloys (D16АТ - the same as 2024-T3, and В95АТВ - 7075-T6). In all cases the random loading has been considered as Gaussian processes of cyclic loading with introduced and discussed parameters of the investigated processes.
