Fatigue tests have been carried out on edge notched mild steel specimens of various thicknesses. Results are presented showing the effect of thickness on crack initiation, crack growth and the geometry and fractography of the fracture surface. It was found that both crack initiation and crack growth

Crack propagation experiments were performed on a mild steel side edge notched specimen for various load ranges and stress ratios at constant maximum loads. The life of the specimen increased as the load ratio increased. The crack growth data were analysed in terms of AKeff as a function of stress r
Theoretical estimation of fatigue limit of notches under axial push-pull loading was made with an emphasis on the formation of non-propagating crack. A critical notch radius and a critical stress concentration factor were determined so as to distinguish notch fatigue limits with crack initiation and
