Crack closure at positive stress levels [i] is currently being investigated as a mechanism to explain variations in fatigue crack growth rate caused by changes in the testing conditions. Compliance [i-3], resistivity [4-6], optical [7, 8], and acoustical [9, 10] measurements, extensively used to monitor crack growth, yield information about crack closure. Correlation between the various results is quite difficult, however, since different monitoring techniques, sample geometries, materials, etc. have been involved. In the present investigation two of the above crack monitoring techniques are used on two different sample geometries, PTC [I0] and CT [ii], and two heats of A1 2219-T851, but otherwise equal testing conditions, to characterize closure more fully.Crack closure in PTC samples was monitored [9] by an acoustic surface wave technique (500kHz) and in CT samples using longitudinal bulk waves (2.25 MHz), utilizing both the transmitted and the reflected acoustic beam, see Fig. i. Two compliance gauges, the conventional mouth opening clip-on gauge and an Elber-type gauge [i-3], were mounted on the CT specimen. Testing was done in air (5% relative humidity) at R= Omin/Sma x values of 0.08, 0.30, and 0.50.
