Abstract: An accurate knowledge of the dependence of the fatigue crack growth rate (da/dN) on the stress intensity factor range (ΔK) is necessary to perform a safety analysis of any structure. Fatigue ...

Abstract: High temperature fatigue crack growth was studied in several materials under various environmental conditions. At temperatures less than one-half of the melting point, creep effects were found ...

Abstract: A technique consisting of stress-freezing photoelasticity coupled with a Taylor Series Expansion of the maximum local in-plane shearing stress known as the Taylor Series Correction Method (TSCM) ...
