Abstr&-There is a dramatic change in the shape of the semi-elIiptiad surface cracks, growing due to combined cyclic bending and tensile loading of plam. It is possibk to predict the change of aspect ratio (o/c) during the propagation of the crack. The growing cracks change their shapes such that the

โฆ Synopsis
Absbwt-A simple procedure for calculating the fatigue crack propagation lifetimes of surface-initiated part-through cracks in bending is discussed and agreement is obtained with previously reported experimental data. It is shown that a realistic fatigue analysis of these cracks must include an explicit determination of crack depth as a function of surface length and that, in general, the depth-to-length ratio varies with crack length, crack nucleus geometry and with the stress intensity factor exponent in the Paris growth rate relationship. Numerical results are presented for some typical situations.

Cyclic growth rate of a surface crack is complicated by the three dimensional stress field around the crack and also by an interaction expected between the growth rate at every position on the contour.
