Crack propagation experiments were performed on a mild steel side edge notched specimen for various load ranges and stress ratios at constant maximum loads. The life of the specimen increased as the load ratio increased. The crack growth data were analysed in terms of AKeff as a function of stress r

โฆ Synopsis
The results of an experimental study designed to determine the temperature dependence of salt water-inhanced fatigue crack growth are presented in this paper. It was found that the rate of crack-growth is constant over an extended range of crack-tip intensity. The activation energy calculated from stressindependent crack growth rates was Q = 4.2 kcalimole. It was concluded from this data that the diffusion of environment to the crack tip is rate controlling.
