Aluminum alloys have been used with various thicknesses suitable for light weight of structure. It is known that the thickness effect of material is an important factor affecting fatigue crack propagation under constant fatigue stress condition. In this work, we presented the behavior of fatigue crack propagation in thin plate compared to thick plate Al 2024-T3 alloy with referred thickness effect in a correlative equation determined by the shape factor and the loading factor. We chose two factors that are used in the correlative equation with considering that the experiments were carried out under a constant fatigue stress condition. The thickness ratio of thin plate compared to thick plate and the equivalent effective stress intensity factor ratio depending on thickness were chosen as shape and loading factors. A correlative equation is utilized to determine the equivalent effective stress intensity factor range of thin plate and identify the degree of increasing phenomenon of fatigue life in thin plate compared to thick plate.

운송기계구조물의 제작에 사용되는 판재 알루미늄 합금재료는 일정한 피로응력조건하에서 두께에 따라 균열진전속도의 차이를 보인다. 이러한 두께효과는 판재 알루미늄합금의 주요한 피로파괴특성 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 일정한 피로응력조건하에서 실시한 후판 및 박판 Al 2024-T3 합금재료의 피로 시험을 통하여 두께효과를 파악하고, 이를 형상인자인 두께비, $R_t$ 및 하중인자인 두께별 등가유효응력확대비, $U_{i}^{equ}$에 의한 상호관계식, $U_{i}^{equ}=f(R_t)$로 나타내었다. 그리고 두께효과에 의한 후판 대비 박판시험편의 균열진전 지연거동을 ${\Delta}K$ 환산법을 사용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 두께효과의 경향을 정량으로 나타내기 위해 두께감소율(DoT)과 응력확대계수범위, ${\Delta}K$의 감소율(DoS) 등의 값을 구하여 이들 상호관계를 규명하였다.

This paper treats the failure analysis of prestressing steel wires with different kinds of localised damage in the form of a surface defect (crack or notch) or as a mechanical action (transverse loads). From the microscopical point of view, the micromechanisms of fracture are shear dimples (associated with localised plasticity) in the case of the transverse loads and cleavage-like (related to a weakest-link fracture micromechanism) in the case of cracked wires. In the notched geometries the microscopic modes of fracture range from the ductile micro-void coalescence to the brittle cleavage, depending on the stress triaxiality in the vicinity of the notch tip. From the macroscopical point of view, fracture criteria are proposed as design criteria in damage tolerance analyses. The transverse load situation is solved by using an upper bound theorem of limit analysis in plasticity. The case of the cracked wire may be treated using fracture criteria in the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics on the basis of a previous finite element computation of the stress intensity factor in the cracked cylinder. Notched geometries require the use of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and numerical analysis of the stress-strain state at the failure situation. A fracture criterion is formulated on the basis of the critical value of the effective or equivalent stress in the Von Mises sense.
