| 内容記述 | This annex describes test procedures and presents the results from the tests for conventional, long-crack growth rate data. These data were used for comparisons with the short-crack growth rate data. Data were generated in tests with constant stress ratio load sequences (R = -2, -1, 0, and 0.5) and with the FALSTAFF load sequence. Results for long-crack tests with the Gaussian load sequence are discussed. The constant stress ratio tests included decreasing, increasing, and constant load amplitude sequences. All cracks exceeded 6 mm in length when data were taken. All tests were conducted on center-cracked specimens of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheet taken from a large stock of this material held at the NASA Langley Research Center for fatigue research programs. The baseline long-crack growth rate data for this AGARD program were generated using 50 mm wide, center-cracked specimens which were cut from some of the same sheets that were used to make the edge-notched, short-crack specimens. At growth rates below about 10 to the -5 mm/cycle, the baseline data were supplemented by data generated using 76 mm wide specimens made from sheets other than those used for the short-crack program. At growth rates above about 10 to the -5 mm/cycle, the baseline data were supplemented by data generated using 305 mm wide specimens made from sheets other than those used for the other two specimen sizes. The results from the 305 mm specimens were published in 1969. All specimen configurations are shown. |
