Using compact tension C(T) specimens, fatigue crack growth tests were conducted under constant amplitude loading at stress ratios of 0.1 and 0.5 in air and at room temperature. Three fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) models, namely, Collipriest, Priddle, and NASGRO were examined. To handle the effect of stress ratio on FCGR, Walker equivalent stress intensity factor model was used. Consequently, generalized Collipriest (GC), generalized Priddle (GP), and generalized NASGRO (GN) models were developed and fitted to the FCGR data. It was shown that both GC and GP models fit the FCGR data in a similar fashion. However, the GP model provided a better fit than the GC model. The GN model was found to be the most appropriate model for the data. Therefore, this model may be suggested for use in critical applications, such as aeronautical structural design.en-USModelingFatigue crack growth rateStatistical analysisPre-strainArtigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Materials Science and Engineering: A concede permissão para depósito deste artigo no Repositório Institucional da UFOP.
