Existing experimental data o~.~ fatigue crack growth are summarized. A fatigue crack growth model is proposed, based on the different crack tip geometries of a loaded and unloaded crack; the model leads to predictions of the rates of growth of fatigue cracks, in certain materials, comparable to thos

โฆ Synopsis
Treating the local fracture toughness of a material as a random value, a general relationship between the applied fracture parameter and the stable crack growth distance is developed. The result is applied to a study of the fatigue crack growth and a general expression connecting fatigue crack growth rate and the applied loading is rendered. Several empirical fatigue crack growth models can be derived on the basis of this unified view, and the valid ranges of these models are established. The conclusions are found to be in agreement with experimental evidence.

The unified approach for fatigue damage developed by the authors is applied for the analysis of fatigue crack growth in polymers. According to this approach, fatigue requires two load parameters and correspondingly there are two thresholds that must be met simultaneously for a crack to grow. The thr
