Mechanisms of fatigue crack growth – a critical digest of theoretical developments

Submitted by Piyas Chowdhury on

Improtance of modeling fatigue damage propagation is substantial given the ubiquity of fatigue-induced component failures across industries. A review of fatigue crack growth models along with a detailed discussion of recent experimental findings (substantiating the model assumptions) are presented (please see the pdf attachment below)

Recent advances in modeling fatigue cracks at microscale in the presence of high density coherent twin interfaces
