X Abstract

Fatigue lives of notched members are considered to be divided into crack initiation and propagation phases. Apparent size effects caused by crack propagation through the strain gradient of the notch are accounted for if initiation is defined as a crack size within the local notch field. The extent of this field may be estimated from fracture mechanics analysis, with its size being of the order of one tenth of the notch radius. Plasticity effects must be properly handled in predicting crack initiation, but linear elastic analysis is generally satisfactory for handling the propagation phase.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
