• Due to increasing number of cracks developing in aging fleet, full scale fatigue tests were performed
• Many cracks were found to initiate from rivet holes, especially in lower wing skin
• Normal and shear stress histories at different wing locations were obtained

Fatigue Crack Growth in Aluminum 2xxx Specimens under VA A‐T Loading
• Crack nucleation and growth each constitutes about half of total fatigue life

• What is the crack nucleation mechanism (tensile or shear)?
• What is the notch effect on fatigue life?
• Can the traditional fatigue criteria (i.e. von Mises effective stress or strain) correlate nucleation life under simple constant amplitude axial and torsion loads?
• Does intermittent axial load in cyclic torsion or intermittent torsion load in cyclic axial loading affect the behavior?
• Is there a difference in behavior between different metals regarding the above aspects (i.e. steel versus aluminum)?

Axial Tests with Intermittent Torsion Cycles and Torsion Tests with Intermittent Axial Cycles (Structural Steel)
• A1000‐T100 test fatigue lives are similar to axial tests• A100‐T1000 test fatigue lives are similar to torsion tests• A1000‐T1000 test fatigue lives are puzzling!

Conclusions (1)
• Crack nucleation mechanism for both smooth and notched specimens and both materials is shear.
• The commonly used von Mises effective stress or strain cannot correlate either smooth or notched data under simple axial and torsion loadings.
• Neuber’s rule gives an accurate estimate of the notch deformation under both axial and torsion loadings.
• Critical plane life prediction model can correlate smooth and notched axial and torsion data well, as it correctly represents the operating damage mechanism.

33
Conclusions (2)
• While results from a few intermittent axial cycles in torsion test and a few intermittent torsion cycles in axial test are as expected, results from tests with equal number of axial and torsion cycles are puzzling.
• In spite of the structural steel and aluminum alloy having very different microstructures and properties, the aforementioned observed behaviors are similar for both materials.

Crack Growth Mechanism (Tube vs Pre-cracked Plate Behavior in Shear)
• In tubes or shafts, cracks initiated in shear (i.e. torsion) continue to grow in shear (Mode II and/or III)
• In pre‐cracked plate geometries of the same material, cracks grow in Mode I under shear loading.
• This is true for most metals (Al, carbon steels, alloy steels, super‐alloys, stainless steel, etc)
• Which growth mechanism is assumed to operate has a significant implication in life prediction.

Crack Growth Mechanism
• Is the difference due to specimen geometry (i.e. curvature effect)?
• How about a tubular geometry with a fatigue crack vs machined pre‐crack?
Notch dimensions of 0.25 mm wide, 1 mm long, and 0.5 mm deep
Smooth specimen crack length of 0.8 mm
In which direction will the crack grow in cyclic torsion?
![Page 44: Notched Fatigue Behavior under Axial and Torsion Loads](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022618/62190e7202374b0e4b596738/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Crack Growth Mechanism
Different growth mechanisms:
• In tube with natural fatigue crack, growth mechanism is by coalescence, driven by plasticity of the gage section (nominal plasticity), Mode II growth
• In tube with machined pre‐crack, growth mechanism is by Mode I, driven by plasticity of the crack tip (local plasticity)

• Cannot use the common technique of using pre‐cracked specimens to characterize fatigue crack growth behavior if a crack network exists

Axial Loading Torsion Loading
• A compressive tangential stress acts parallel to crack growth path in torsion
• The tangential stress increases plastic zone size and crack driving force, increasing crack growth rate

Crack Growth Rates in IP and OP Loading(Aluminum 7xxx)
Crack branching in OP loading causes:
• Periods of decreased CGR (a‐N plot)
• Much data scatter
• Slower CGR compared to IP loading

Variation od Principal Stress Value and Its Orientation During One Load Cycle
All planes in the range of ±42 to the horizontal axis are subjected to more than 90% of the maximum principal stress amplitude.

Crack Growth Rates for Tests with Alternating Loading Mode
• Increased CGR with increased number of torsion cycles in axial loading.
• Much scatter, more detailed CGR analysis accounting for closure is needed.

Axial Cycles with Random Torsion Cycles(Aluminum 7xxx)
• Crack growth on the maximum principal stress amplitude plane (i.e. perpendicular to tube axis)
• Faster crack growth rate, compared to pure axial test at the same axial stress level
• Reduced roughness‐induced closure from torsion cycles?
![Page 65: Notched Fatigue Behavior under Axial and Torsion Loads](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022618/62190e7202374b0e4b596738/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Comparison of CGR at K = 5 MPa√m(Aluminum 7xxx)
‐ CGR is higher in T than in A loading due to increased plastic zone size from the tangential compressive stress.
‐ CGR is slowest for OP loading, as compared to all loading conditions. This is due to roughness and repeated bifurcation at the crack tip in OP loading.
![Page 66: Notched Fatigue Behavior under Axial and Torsion Loads](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022618/62190e7202374b0e4b596738/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Conclusions (1)
Cracks grew on the maximum shear stress plane (mode II)in smooth (i.e. un‐notched) specimens for all the loadingconditions considered.
Cracks grew on the maximum principal stress plane (modeI) in notched specimens for all the loading conditionsconsidered.
Crack growth in smooth specimens was due to a crackcoalescence process, while for notched specimens thecrack(s) nucleated at the notch root dominated crackgrowth life.
For the same max principal stress amplitude, CGR washigher in torsion than in axial loading.

Conclusions (2)
In out‐of‐phase (OP) A‐T tests fatigue CGR was lower than inin‐phase (IP) tests due to crack branching and a torturouscrack path from repeated bifurcation at the crack tip.
Intermittent torsion cycles increased axial CGR. Randomtorsion cycles in constant amplitude axial test also increasedCGR. Both effects may be explained by reduced roughness‐induced closure from cyclic shear.
Little or no effect of mean torsion on axial fatigue life or CGRwas observed.
Experimental results were consistent for the structural steeland the two aluminum alloys considered.
