Description

 

The aim of this session is to bring together the scientists who are working on the experiments, modelling and simulation of fatigue crack behaviour and fracture for the aircraft aluminium alloys. The focus will be on the influence of spectrum loading on crack growth rate in the components, prediction methods of fatigue lifetime, estimation methods of the level of fatigue damage accumulation in components, feasibility of load-time history reconstruction on the basis of microfracture analysis, mechanism of fracture, new techniques for improving the fatigue properties of aluminium alloys.
