In preceding papers we defined the geometric and stress distribution characteristics of the process zone (PZ) for subcritical cracking. Here we apply these results to consider the problem of hydrogen assisted cracking under threshold conditions. In particular, the relation of threshold stress inte
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
This paper addresses the soundness of the fracture mechanics approach to the phenomenon -the K-dominance over all the process constituents -and reveals the intrinsic variability of the crack growth kinetics curve v= v(K) and the threshold stress intensity factor Kr,,. Suggestions to consolidate the
