Abstract

The effect of mixed mode overload on the retardation of pure mode I cyclic loading has been investigated experimentally on Al5083-H111. Two models for extension of the Wheeler retardation model are proposed in order to calculate retardation of fatigue crack growth subjected to mixed mode overload. The first proposed model can predict retardation with high precision. The second proposed model is a simplified form of the first one and does not contain more experimental constants than the Wheeler model so, it may be more practical. The application of the proposed models has been examined for another material and testing conditions.
