27th ICAF Symposium – Jerusalem, 5 – 7 June 2013 The Pursuit of K: Reflections on the Current State of the Art in Stress Intensity Factor Solutions for Practical Aerospace Applications R. Craig McClung,1 Yi-Der Lee,1 Joseph W. Cardinal,1 and Yajun Guo2 1Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, USA 2Jacobs ESCG, Houston, Texas, USA Abstract: The stress intensity factor (K is the foundation of fracture mechanics analysis for aircraft structures. This paper provides several reflections on the current state of the art in K solution methods used for practical aerospace applications, including a brief historical perspective, descriptions of some recent and ongoing advances, and comments on some remaining challenges. Examples are selectively drawn from the recent literature, from recent enhancements in the NASGRO and DARWIN software, and from new research, emphasizing integrated approaches that combine different methods to create engineering tools for real-world analysis. Verification and validation challenges are highlighted. INTRODUCTION The stress intensity factor (commonly denoted K is the foundation of fracture mechanics (FM analysis for aircraft structures. This parameter describes the first-order effects of stress magnitude and distribution as well as the geometry of both structure/component and crack. Hence, the calculation of K is often the most significant step in fatigue crack growth (FCG life analysis. This paper provides several reflections on the current state of the art in K solution methods used for practical aerospace applications, including a brief historical perspective, descriptions of some recent and ongoing advances, and comments on some remaining challenges. No attempt is made to be exhaustive in this review—that would be a daunting task—but key citations are woven into the practical experiences of the authors.
