Fatigue Crack Propagation under Christmas Tree Load Pattern

Most mechanical components are subject to dynamic loads, which can cause failure in service. This study aims to evaluate the effect of variable amplitude loadings on fatigue crack growth (FCG) in CT specimens produced with the AA2024-T351 aluminum alloy. Specifically, it is intended to predict the F...
