Plasticity induced closure under variable amplitude loading in AlMgSi aluminum alloys

Fatigue crack propagation tests under peak overloads, as well as High-Low and Low-High block loading sequences have been performed in aluminum alloy specimens. The observed transient crack closure level is discussed in terms of loading sequence, load change magnitude and ΔK baseline levels. The crac...
