A Method for the Analysis of the Growth of Short Fatigue Cracks

Article Preview

Abstract:

The behavior of short fatigue cracks is a matter of importance not only because much of the fatigue lifetime is spent in propagating these cracks, but also because the boundary between propagation and non-propagation separates the safe from the potentially unsafe fatigue regimes. The method of analysis is based upon the following equation:
