โฆ Synopsis
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 and Orowan as a limiting case of steady crack growth by monotonous loading. The theory offered does not depend on the details of micromechanisms of fatigue crack tip fracturing. Apart from fracture toughness K,. only one new material constant enters into the firmI expression for the fatigue crack growth velocity. An analysis of test dataconfirms this relationship within the error limits.

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
