We studied on crack growth retardation in single overloading condition. Crack tip branching which as the second mechanism on crack growth retardation was examined. Crack tip branching was observed to kinked type and forked type. It was found that the branching angle range was from 25 to 53 degree. The variations of crack driving force with branching angle were calculated with finite element method The variation of {{{{ KAPPA _I}}}}, {{{{ KAPPA _II}}}} and total crack driving force(K) were examined respectively So {{{{ KAPPA _I}}}}, {{{{ KAPPA _II}}}} and K mean to mode I, II and total crack driving force. Present model(Willenborg's model) for crack growth retardation prediction was modified to take into consideration the effects of crack tip branching When we predicted retardation with modified model. it was confirmed that predicted and experimental results coincided with well each other.

This paper introduces the calibration results of the fatigue crack growth models for damage tolerance analysis of the aircraft structures. Generalized Willenborg model and Wheeler model are calibrated with experimental data tested under the load spectrum of a trainer. The retardation factors such as, shut-off ratio in Generalized Willenborg model and shaping exponent in Wheeler model, are evaluated for aluminum alloys AL2024-T3511, AL7050-T7451 and AL7075-T73511. It is shown that the retardation effect of the crack growth rate depends on the yield strength of material and the maximum stress in the load spectrum. Generalized Willenborg model and Wheeler model give satisfactory prediction of crack growth life but the calibration of the experimental parameters with test is required.

Ship structures and aircraft structures are consisted of thin sheet alloy, so it is very important to understand the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation of that material and to establish the data base. The data for fatigue crack propagation behavior scatter very much even under identical experimental conditions with constant loading. The behavior of fatigue crack propagation under regular and irregular cyclic loadings is known to be highly affected by complicated factors such as plastic zone developed at the vicinity of crack tip and reduction of cross sectional area. In this paper, the controlled stress amplitude and overload fatigue crack propagation tests have been conducted to investigate the effect of varying factors such as plastic zone size near the crack tip and area reduction factor (AF) on the fatigue crack propagation behavior A better simulation of fatigue crack propagation behavior is found to be obtainable by using Wheeler and Willenborg models with AF effect.
