Effects of defects, inclusions and inhomogeneities on fatigue strength
Yukitaka Murakami,Masahiro Endo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of defects, inclusions and inhomogeneities on the fatigue strength of metals are reviewed, from the Isibasi model and the Frost model to recent models based on fracture mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue growth threshold of small cracks
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of grain size and crack length on the threshold condition of fatigue growth of small cracks are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally, based on the assumption that the threshold conditions is determined by whether the crack-tip slip band blocked by the grain boundary propagates into an adjacent grain or not.

Engineering formulae for fatigue strength reduction due to crack-like notches
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of microstructure on the growth of small fatigue cracks
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that microcracks grow at anomalous rapid rates relative to large ones only when certain criteria, involving crack size, plastic zone size, and micro-structural element size, are met.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cyclic properties of engineering materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic fatigue properties of materials (endurance limit, fatigue threshold and Paris law constants) are surveyed, inter-related and compared with static properties such as yield strength and modulus.

Crack border stress and displacement equations revisited
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the second term of the series representation for the stresses, a contribution which is independent of distance from the crack tip, can lead to error of serious qualitative nature in the prediction of stress and displacement related quantities of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis and application of fatigue crack growth data
TL;DR: The fracture mechanics concept of stress intensity factor has proved particularly convenient for the analysis of fatigue crack growth data in a form which can be applied directly to engineering problems, and its use has led to a much better understanding of the fatigue behaviour of structures as discussed by the authors.

Limitations of the Westergaard equations for experimental evaluations of stress intensity factors
W T Evans,A R Luxmoore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the full equations for stresses and displacements around a central crack, in an infinite plate subjected to uniaxial and biaxia tension, are determined using the Westergaard stress function.
