For this purpose, there were applied three different variable-amplitude load sequences with single and multiple overloads and underloads. Subsequently, images of fatigue striations on components’ fracture surfaces were examined. The aforementioned loads were employed when simulating fatigue crack behaviour in aeronautical alloys.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Applying fractographic analysis for the evaluation of the effects of variable-amplitude loads on fatigue crack growth rates for the 2024-T3 aluminium alloy}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115412/PDF/AME_2009_132109.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2009.132109}, keywords={aerospace aluminium alloy, fatigue crack growth rate, fractographical analysis}, }
