Abstract (EN): This paper presents a study aiming at characterizing the fatigue crack growth behaviour of the 6082-T6 aluminium alloy using standard CT specimens. The fatigue crack growth threshold is also characterized according to the ASTM E 647 standard Besides the standard CT specimens with sharp notches, specimens with initial circular notches were also fatigue tested. The threshold stress intensity factor ranges, Delta K-th, are compared for the distinct notches under study. The fatigue crack propagation rate in the regime II are obtained using the Paris law. A comparison is made between the CT specimens geometries with distinct notches under consideration. The Delta K-th values for the geometry of standard CT specimens present lower values when compared with the geometry of the CT specimens with blunted notches. Copyright (C) 2016 The Authors.
