Abstract

Recent research work investigating fatigue in ultra-high cycle regimes (on the order of 109 cycles) has challenged the conventional understanding of fatigue crack initiation and endurance limits. Aluminum alloys have been studied in these ultra-high regimes showing the expected S-N curves with increased fatigue life correlating to decreasing load amplitude, but to further understand how damage mechanisms change across different regimes, more work has to be done to analyze the governing mechanisms for fatigue crack initiation in the ultra-high cycle regime. Limited experimental evidence elucidates failure characteristics of aerospace grade aluminum alloys subjected to ultra-high cycle fatigue; hence a detailed ultra-high cycle fatigue study has been presented on Al 7075-T6 using fully reversed tension-compression (R = −1) with a focus on fatigue-fracture behavior through electron microscopy analysis and sensitivity studies using finite element analysis-based probability studies.
