ABSTRACT |
The objective of this study is to investigate the properties of fatigue crack growth in a GLARE3-5/4 fiber/metal laminate and the validity of methods for analyzing the fatigue crack growth of fiber/metal laminates. GLARE3-5/4 consists of five thin sheets of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy and four layers of (0/90) glass/epoxy. Centrally notched specimens were fatigue tested under constant amplitude loading and crack length was measured using the DC potential-drop method. The size of the delamination produced between aluminum alloy sheets and fiber-adhesive layers was measured from C-scan pictures taken around a fatigue crack. The following conclusions were drawn : (1) The scatter in fatigue crack growth lives was a little higher than that of a 2024-T3 aluminum alloy. (2) The relationship between crack growth rate, da/dN, versus stress intensity factor range, ΔK , obtained on the assumption of a monolithic material was different from that of a single 2024-T3 aluminum alloy machined from the GLARE and showed the maximum stress dependence. (3) The relationship between da/dN and Δkfin, the stress intensity factor range analyzed by Marissen on the basis of a fiber bridging effect, approximately agreed with that of a single 2024-T3 aluminum alloy specimen regardless of the maximum stress. |
