RATE OF GROWTH OF FATIGUE CRACKS AS CALCULATED FROM THE THEORY OF INFINITESTIMAL DISLOCATIONS DISTRIBUTED ON A PLANE.

Abstract

The Bilby, Cottrell and Swinden crack theory is applied to the problem of the growth of fatigue cracks. It is found that if a total critical displacement is adopted as the fracture criterion, the theory leads to observed growth laws. (Author)
