Testing and simulation of aero engine spectra with dwell Imes are reported in this paper. The modelling concept used built on LEFM and provides a history dependent evolution 2scription of dwell damage and its interaction with cyclic load. he simulations have been carried out for three spectra, 1) cyclic ?ads, 2) combined sustained load and cyclic loads and 3) slow ad ramps and cyclic loads, all for surface cracks at 550 C for nconel 718. All simulations show reasonable good agreement ith experimental results. Prediction of multiple tests of several atches is also provided to show statistical scatter
