Propagation rate of large cracks in stiffened panels under tension loading
Hussam Mahmoud,Robert J. Dexter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, cyclic tension fatigue tests were conducted on approximately half-scale welded stiffened panels to study propagation of large cracks as they interact with the stiffeners, and a linear elastic fracture mechanics analysis was used, to simulate the crack propagation, and gave reasonable agreement with the experiments.
