Abstract

The Ottosen–Stenström–Ristinmaa (OSR) incremental fatigue damage model is adapted for fatigue-life assessment of integral airframes milled from 7050-T7451 aluminum plates. For validation, variable-amplitude high-cycle fatigue experiments are conducted for circumferentially notched, axisymmetric specimens, and for a geometry similar to an aircraft fuselage frame, with flanges, stiffeners, and web panels. We also describe how the parameters of the OSR model can be modified to account for surface roughness, and for setting acceptable failure probability.
