✦ Synopsis

The Gaussian stationary stochastic load process is considered to cause fatigue crack growth in randomly inhomogeneous materials. The Paris-Erdogan model is applied and the time when the crack length reaches a critical value (lifetime) is determined as a random variable. It is shown that random variations of the lifetime are not significantly affected by stochastic fluctuations of loading and material inhomogeneity.

These fluctuations, however, affect significantly the mean value of the lifetime. An example is carried out to show quantitatively the influence of the load and material randomness on the structural lifetime.

## Abstract From a survey of the literature and experimental results obtained with two austenitic steels it is concluded that for fatigue crack propagation with negative R‐values the often used relation Ξ”K~eff~ = K~max~ underestimates the crack growth rate. Relations between Ξ”K~eff~ and Ξ”K are pres

The problem of propagating crack characterization is examined for a case of a stochastic brittle medium. Crack-damage interaction and its influence on fracture kinetics are accounted for by means of continuum damage mechanics and stochastic values of stress intensity factor. The two-dimensional prob
