  1. This study investigates the statistical significance of crack jump noise in Inconel 718 (IN718) for several different loading conditions. A direct current potential drop (DCPD) method is used to experimentally measure in-situ the crack length. Data is collected for six different peak loads at R=0.15 for a statistically significant number of trails. FEA-derived calibration curves relate measured potential to crack length. We determine that the mean crack length jumps, over subsequent cycles, increased with loading, the range of the crack length jump distributions decreases with increasing load, while the noise has a non-zero mean distribution. Findings from this study suggest that crack length jumps are not random events but contain statistical features that can potentially be used with machine learning approaches to better understand fatigue progression in Ni-based superalloys.
