Abstract: | Many experimental and analytical equations on a rate of a fatigue crack propagation have been proposed. However, it seems that they can not fully express its complex behavior. There are still many problems remaining to be solved in order to clarify its mechanism. One of them is to clarify the relation between the rate of the crack propagation and the mechanical properties of material. In this paper, the rate of the crack propagation is analysed to clarify this problem. This analysis is based on the observation results of the fatigue crack propagation behavior previously by the authors. The analytical result is compared with the experimental one to make sure that they agree with each other. The conclusion obtained is; the rate of fatigue crack propagation is expressed by using the stress intensity factors as . where C is a constant; E, Young's modulus; F, plastic coefficient; Y, yield stress; Kmax and Ka, maximum and amplitude of the stress intensity factor, and α and n, exponents of the Manson-Coffin's law and work-hardening. |
