In this study, a regression analysis model has been developed to calculate the fatigue life of open-hole specimens with a double through cracks without significantly compromising on the accuracy. In the first phase of the study, experimental fatigue life data for open-hole 2024-T3 aluminum specimens with double through the thickness cracks is extracted from experimental test data. Life assessment model corresponding to the experimental data is generated using the Forman equation to fit the da/dN vs delta K crack growth data, and material constants and plane stress intensity factor of 2024-T3 alloy in the Forman equation are obtained. Extended finite element method (XFEM) has then been employed to model the same open-hole specimen geometry with a double through the thickness cracks to check the accuracy of the XFEM results with the experimental fatigue life data. XFEM simulation for the crack growth and determination of the stress intensity factor during the crack propagation has been performed for different combinations of the initial crack length, rivet hole diameter and applied far field stress utilizing design of experiments based on Response Surface (RS) method. Utilizing the transformed fatigue life results obtained by the XFEM method, a regression analysis of the RS experiments has been performed and a regression model capable of acceptable life prediction of open hole specimens with DTC has been developed.
