Abstract
The anomalous growth behavior of short fatigue cracks in a Ni-based superalloy is examined. Experimental and analytical work is presented which clearly demonstrates the break-down of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) in the “so-called” short crack regime. Short crack data only appear anomalous when correlated in terms of the stress intensity factor. When short and long crack data are analyzed in terms of a more valid driving force (e.g. strain energy density criteria), no anomalous short crack behavior is observed.
