    Crack growth depends on the stress intensity factor K, with propagation only occurring above a threshold value and failure approaching the fracture toughness KC. In region II, the relationship between the log of crack growth per cycle and K is linear, though K itself depends on crack size. Fatigue life is affected by numerous factors including the cyclic stress state, geometry, surface quality, material type, residual stresses, size and distribution of internal defects, direction of loading, grain size, and temperature.

    CRACK GROWTH AS A FUNCTION OF K

    There exists a threshold value of K below which fatigue cracks will not propagate At the other extreme, Kmax will approach the fracture toughness KC The material will fail A linear relationship between log (da/d N) and K in region II Note that K depends on the crack size. This is not shown in the plot

    Factors that affect fatigue-life


    Cyclic stress state Geometry Surface quality Material Type Residual stresses Size and distribution of internal defects Direction of loading Grain size Temperature: Extreme high or low temperatures can decrease fatigue strength
