The 2024-T351 aluminum alloy is extensively used for fabricating aircraft parts. This alloy attains relatively low ductility at room temperature and is generally heat treated in various conditions to suit particular applications. The present study experimentally and numerically analyzes the damage mechanism of an Al2024-T351 plate (short transverse direction) subjected to multi-axial stress states. The purpose of this work is to predict the cyclic lifetime of the considered alloy, based on the local approach of damage evolution using continuum damage modeling (CDM). The experimental program involves different kinds of specimens and loading conditions. Monotonie and cyclic tests have been conducted in order to measure the mechanical response and also to perform micromechanical characterization of damage and fracture processes. The cyclic plasticity behavior has been characterized by means of smooth cylindrical specimens. For analyzing the evolution of plastic deformation and damage under multi-axial stress conditions, cyclic loading tests in the low cycle regime have been conducted on different round notched bars. The predictions of the CDM were compared to the experimentally observed mechanical response and to the micromechanical characterization of damage. Emphasis was laid on the prediction of the number of cycles to failure.
