Experimental and numerical analysis of fatigue crack growth in integral skin-stringer panels, produced by means of laser beam welding (LBW), is performed.Since this type of panel is used in airframe construction, fatigue and damage tolerance is of paramount importance, since aircrafts must be tolerant to relatively large fatigue cracks.Firstly, using extended finite element method (XFEM), the fatigue crack growth on the simple flat plate made of AL-AA 6156T6/2.8 mm was simulated, and results were compared with values obtained in ...
