In Part I of the current work, experiments on fatigue crack growth from notches and crack growth simulation for a coalesced crack with re-entrant portion were conducted. It was revealed that the growth rate in area is the same for the same applied stress and area of crack face. The main conclusion w

A modification to the model of Weir ef al. for surface reaction and transport controlled fatigue crack growth has been developed to explicitly account for the effect of load ratio on environmentally assisted fatigue crack growth. Load ratio was found to affect principalfy gas transport to the crack
In order to develop a procedure for assessing the growth of interacting surface cracks, the relationship between the area of the crack face and fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated. Fatigue crack growth tests were conducted using stainless steel plate specimens with surface notches. Then,
The J-integral criterion for initial crack growth is discussed. It is pointed out that an essential requirement for the validity of this criterion is autonomy of the end-region near the crack-tip. This autonomy ought to exist even at large scale yielding if there is a substantial strain hardening, i
The micromechanics of crack initiation and early growth in 4340 steel is studied using the SEM, and it is found that growth is discontinuous and transgranular, with the distance between growth steps corresponding to the prior austenite grain size spread. The lowest observed growth rate is approximat
