The Bilby, Cottrell and Swinden crack theory is applied to the problem of the growth of fatigue cracks. It is found that if a total critical displacement is adopted as the fracture criterion, the theory leads to observed growth laws. \* Based upon paper presented at the International Conference on F

The effect of the shear modulus, size and dispersion of second phase particles on rate of growth of fatigue cracks in two-phase materials is determined using the kinetic theory approach. The results obtained explain the experimental observations in pearlitic steels.
The influence on the crack growth rate on a micro-structurally short edge crack subjected to fatigue loading from changes in crack length, distance to grain boundaries and applied load has been investigated. The crack is assumed to grow in a single shear mechanism due to nucleation, glide and annihi
