Abstract

The fatigue crack growth behavior of Al 7075-T651 was investigated under in-plane biaxial loading conditions with overload and underload cycles introduced at different crack lengths. Quantitative fractography was performed on the fatigued specimens to correlate the microscale fracture features with the damage modes associated with the applied load spectrum. Overloads resulted in significant crack retardation and, in the case of higher overload amplitudes at longer crack lengths, even caused total crack arrest. The underloads led to increased crack growth; however this increase was not significant.
