Abstract

Considered is the fatigue life prediction of a cylindrical shell with an inclined crack under torsion. The effects of the initial angles of inclination and shell curvatures on fatigue crack growth rate are investigated. The mixed mode fracture parameters are extended to describe the fatigue crack growth behavior. A methodology for fatigue life prediction is suggested.
