Tromp, P.J. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1978-06-13 Abstract Fatigue tests under flight simulation loading were done on simple notched 2024-T3 Alclad sheet specimens. Reduction of the gust load amplitudes resulted in an increase of crack initiation life but hardly influenced crack propagation. Reduction of the overall stress level increased both initiation and crack propagation life. The observed variations could be analytically predicted with varying success.
