Abstract
This paper presents the experimental and analytical research on the applicability of the Linear Damage Accumulation Approach for fatigue crack growth in Fiber reinforced Metal Laminates under variable amplitude loading. A recently developed constant amplitude analytical prediction model for Fiber reinforced Metal Laminates has been extended to predict fatigue crack growth under variable amplitude loading using a linear damage accumulation rule. The modied model has been compared with crack growth tests on Fiber reinforced Metal Laminates center-cracked tension specimen. In the end it is discussed to what extent or under which conditions the linear damage accumulation predictions are suciently accurate for Fiber reinforced Metal Laminates structures.
