The present paper is aimed at investigating the behaviour of fatigue cracks emanating from sharp V-shaped notches. To this purpose, several tests has been conducted on Al-7075-T651 notched specimens using a servohydraulic machine by changing the directions and levels of the applied load. The crack growth have been interpreted on the basis of a linear elastic fracture mechanics approach by adopting a weight function derived by the authors for the calculation of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of inclined edge-cracks emanating from V-shaped notches.

Abstract
The present paper is aimed at investigating the behaviour of fatigue cracks emanating from sharp V-shaped notches. To this purpose, several tests has been conducted on Al-7075-T651 notched specimens using a servohydraulic machine by changing the directions and levels of the applied load. The crack growth have been interpreted on the basis of a linear elastic fracture mechanics approach by adopting a weight function derived by the authors for the calculation of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of inclined edge-cracks emanating from V-shaped notches.File in questo prodotto:
