Fatigue crack grows faster in the integral structure than in the riveted structure. This study compares the bonded, cold-sprayed and ultrasonically consolidated crack retarders to increase the fatigue life of integral airframe structure. The 2024-T351 aluminum M(T) specimen reinforced with crack retarders made of AISI 301 and 316L steels, Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and unidirectional CFRP laminate are evaluated in terms of fatigue life, delamination resistance and weight efficiency. Specimens were subjected to constant amplitude loading up to the final failure. A substantial decrease in fatigue crack growth rate was achieved using the ultrasonically consolidated AISI 301 crack retarder.

Abstract
Fatigue crack grows faster in the integral structure than in the riveted structure. This study compares the bonded, cold-sprayed and ultrasonically consolidated crack retarders to increase the fatigue life of integral airframe structure. The 2024-T351 aluminum M(T) specimen reinforced with crack retarders made of AISI 301 and 316L steels, Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and unidirectional CFRP laminate are evaluated in terms of fatigue life, delamination resistance and weight efficiency. Specimens were subjected to constant amplitude loading up to the final failure. A substantial decrease in fatigue crack growth rate was achieved using the ultrasonically consolidated AISI 301 crack retarder.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
