The investigation was made for the purpose of ascertaining the notch sensitivity of flat strips of light alloy with cylindrical holes under initial tension stress, with special attention to the change in notch-effect factors with the number of load cycles. Then the studies were extended to similar flat strips with pin-loaded holes (tension lugs). This report deals with fatigue tests under initial tension load on flat test specimens of 3116.5 duralumin and AZM 3510.1 electron with plain unloaded and pin-loaded holes (tension lugs) of different forms.
