✦ Synopsis

The energy based approach to fatigue crack growth was first proposed by Weertman. This original approach was later modified to take into account the plastic energy dissipated at the crack tip. It has also been proposed that the specific energy to create a unit surface is not a constant and depends upon the crack growth micro-mechanism. Recent studies suggest, on the contrary, that the specific energy is a constant and equivalent to the static energy release rate at rupture. Some studies have shown that the measured plastic energy is much higher than the theoretical estimates in the plastic zone. These aspects are reanalyzed to bring out the salient features of the energy based approach. The advantages of the energy based approach are brought out in the case of variable amplitude fatigue crack growth.

Experiments with preloaded notched members of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy have shown that preloads in a wide range, even including those which create overall yielding, increase the fatigue lives of the members. Evidence suggests that the extended fatigue life is primarily due to the residual compressive

Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components. Depending on fretting and fatigue loading conditions, crack nucleation and possibly crack propagation can be activated. T
