The primary weakness of a component made of unidirectionally reinforced SCS-6/Timetal{reg_sign}21S is its susceptibility to transverse loads. The strength of the component in the transverse direction is significantly lower than that in the longitudinal direction under monotonic, sustained and fatigue loading conditions. The previous investigations did not investigate the effect of applied stress ratio on the crack growth behavior of the composite. This paper describes extensive characterization of the fatigue crack growth parallel to fibers in unidirectional SCS-6/Timetal{reg_sign}21S using two geometries, three applied stress ratios and closure measurements.
