An investigation was made of crack propagation in low-cycle fatigue of mild-steel plate specimens and has indicated that during crack propagation the type of lo

In a previous report, a fatigue crack propagation model was analyzed by considering fatigue crack propagation as a sequence of fatigue crack initiation events.

Fatigue crack propagation is treated as a succession of fatigue crack initiation events. The cyclic stress and strain experienced by each element ahead of the c

The studies on the phenomena of fatigue in metals, and especially on the formation and growth rate of cracks have been conducted in 1972-1974 with continued int
