Experimental Study on Vibration Fatigue Behavior of Aircraft Aluminum Alloy 7050

It has been previously noted that the development of aerospace material technology and breakthroughs are inseparable when obtaining great achievements in the aerospace industry. Materials are the basis and precursor of modern high technology and industry. As one of the most powerful aluminium alloys, 7050 is widely used in the aerospace field. In this manuscript, the vibration fatigue behaviour of aircraft aluminium alloy 7050 is studied based on experiments. A vibration fatigue experiment and the traditional fatigue testing of aluminium alloy 7050 were performed. We found that there was an extreme difference between the vibration fatigue and the traditional fatigue curves. In addition, the experimental end criteria for the vibration fatigue experiment of aluminium alloy 7050 was obtained from the acceleration reduction and the frequency reduction value. For the acceleration experimental end criterion, 2% was the acceleration reduction value for the vibration fatigue experimental end criteria of aluminium alloy 7050. For the frequency experimental end criterion, 2% was the frequency reduction value for the vibration fatigue experimental end criteria of aluminium alloy 7050.
