โฆ Synopsis
This paper details a stochastic, time-inhomogeneous model that serves as a theoretical basis for the prediction of crack growth and its variability under constant-amplitude loading. Crack evolution is described as a set of constant probability curves, each of whose points possess equal probability of advancing from one position to another forward position. This probability is governed by a transition intensity parameter for which two mathematical interpretations are examined. A simplified crack growth rate equation, employing one of the definitions, is derived and applied to A17075T6 material for different loading conditions. Results of this application are compared with those experimentally obtained.

Abatmet-Tests were carried out on large center-notched tensile panels in which the crack was extended at both ends by means of sawing under constant load. The critical crack lengths were much longer than in normal residual strengtb tests. Nevertheless it turned out that the results fit into the R-cu
Starting with general phenomenological considerations, a function describing the initiation as well as the stable and unstable growth of fatigue cracks is derived. In comparison with many other functions assigned to the description of fatigue crack growth curves, its merit lies in its compatibility
