Fatigue Life Estimation Model of Repaired Components with the Expanded Stop-Hole Technique
Fatigue crack growth tests are conducted to assess the efficacy of the stop-hole crack repair method. This straightforward and widely adopted technique involves drilling a hole at the crack tip and subsequently enlarging it using a pin inserted into the hole. A fracture mechanics-based model is prop...
