Abstract
This paper presents a probabilistic crack growth model developed for the Holistic Structural Integrity Process (HOLSIP) framework. Statistical data, obtained from testing and fractographic analyses of 2024-T3 test coupons, were used to derive the fatigue crack growth material variability. Results showed the relative impact of material variability in the short and long crack regimes. Monte Carlo simulations showed good agreement between analytical life distributions and test results.Cite This Article
