Abstract: | We consider some examples of the ambiguous assessment of crack growth in structural steels in the process of stress corrosion
cracking under cyclic loading. We analyze the nature of these ambiguities, suggest the methods for their elimination, and
discuss how to take them into account when using the results of laboratory investigations in the engineering practice.
