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

A new model of fatigue crack propagation is proposed which takes the effect of cyclic stress ratio into account. In the model it is assumed tbat the fatigue cmck propagation rate is proportional to the absorbed hysterisis energy per stress cyck at the tip of a crsck. The energy is calctdated from st
Cychc pre-stress increases subsequent fatigue crack growth rate in 2024-T3Sl ahrminum ahoy. This increase in growth rate, caused by the pre-stress, and the increased rate, caused by temper embrittlement as observed by Ritchie and Knott, cannot be explained by the crack tip blunting model alone. Each
