โฆ Synopsis
Crack opening loads and the displacements near the crack tip have been measured by stereoimaging for large (through) cracks and small (surface) cracks. These results have been published. The present paper combines these observations and considers them in a new way, showing the relationship between small and large cracks, and provides a method for computing an effective driving force (AKin) for small and large fatigue cracks.
R~sum6---Nous avons mesur~, fi partir d'images ster6oscopiques, les charges d'ouverture des fissures et les d6placements au voisinage de l'extr~mit+ des fissures, dans le cas de grandes fissures (internes) et de petites fissures (superficielles). Ces r6sultats ont +t+ publi~s. Dans le pr+sent article, nous regroupons ces observations, nous les consid+rons autrement (en montrant la relation qui existe entre grosses et petites fissures) et nous proposons une m~thode pour calculer sur ordinateur la force motrice (AKen) pour les petites et les grosses fissures de fatique.
Zusammenfassang--An groBen (Volumen-) Rissen und kleine (Oberfl/ichen-) Rissen sind die RiB6ffnungslasten und die Verschiebungen an der RiBspitze mit einer Stereomethode gemessen worden; diese Ergebnisse wurden schon ver6ffentlicht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden diese Beobaehtungen kombiniert und auf neue Weise ausgewertet, wodurch der Zusammenhang zwischen kleinen und groBen Rissen aufgezeigt wird. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Methode, eine effektive treibende Kraft AKin fiir kleine und groBe Ermiidungsrisse zu berechnen.

The fracture of large second phase particles in advance of a crack tip was investigated. The experiments allow establishment of a fracture criterion for particles. Fracture toughness is shown to increase almost linearly with particle distance.
