This paper deals with jet engines compressor disks which have dovetail joints with blades. A compressor disk with reduced fatigue resistance was taken as an example. Two simplified conceptual solutions of the dovetail joint with blades were devised. Based on the low cycle fatigue theory, the crack initiation life of their critical parts with newly-...

This work deals with fatigue behaviour of cracked aircraft structural components under cyclic loads of constant amplitudes and load spectrum. This investigation is focused on developing efficient and reliable computational methods for fatigue life estimation of cracked aircraft lugs under cyclic loads of constant amplitude and load spectrum. For cr...
