Abstract
Compact tension specimens cut from 2024-T351 aluminum-alloy plate were used for Vickers hardness tests under low-force scale and then for fatigue crack growth tests under sinusoidal loads, and the scattered data sets obtained including Vickers hardness, initiation cycle and specimen life, exponent m and intercept C of Paris-Erdogan law were collected as a factor set with five factor series for analysis of grey relational grade. Nominal value method was adopted for the preprocess referred to as grey relational generation to obtained new factor series, and then Hsia’s method was used to calculate the grey relational grades among new factor series. The analyzed result named global grey relational grade in matrix form with dimension of shows three main findings: (1) Vickers hardness has the largest influence on specimen life, and vice versa. (2) Vickers hardness, specimen life, and m have a large influence on each other. (3) C has the least influence on any other factors, and vice versa.
