Analysis of Fatigue Crack Growth in Friction Stir Welded Joints of 2024 Al Alloy Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper concerned with analysis of fatigue crack growth behavior of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) joints, by the comparison of boundary element method simulation results with experimental investigation of FSW Al 2024 alloy. Crack propagation in different FSW joint zones was studied using Paris and Forman-Newman-de Koning models and fatigue life estimation provided good agreement with the experiments.
