A review of several statistical and probabilistic approaches to the problem of fatigue crack growth shows that many Markov models are equivalent in that they express the probability density of the crack length at time t as solutions of the Kolmogorov, or Fokker-Plank, equations. Further, it is shown
The theoretical study is advanced to describe quantitatively the crack propagation under cyclic loads. The main assumptions accepted are: (a) a crack grows by loading during every cycle, and (b) the specific dissipation energy is a material constant. The latter contains. the known concept by Irwin a
Abrtrrt-Aspects of the tccbnical meaning of fatigue considerations in practice are indicated. The fatigue life is subdivided into a crack nucleations period aod a crack propagation period. The siguiticat~ce of recog&iag these periods for practical problems is illustmtcd by several ~xamptes. The simi
A new probabilistic model of fatigue crack growth is constructed in which the parameters are explicit functions of the stress intensity factor. There are two versions of this model. These models are applied to a set of fatigue crack growth data. Some comments are offered on the implications of these
