Abstract
This article continues the discussion of the Stress Intensity Factor parameter by demonstrating how it can be used to characterise catastrophic (rapid) fracture and stable fatigue crack growth. Numerical values for the fracture toughness, crack growth ‘constants’ and threshold Stress Intensities are given for a wide range of engineering materials. The principles of the Fracture Mechanics approach to failure prevention are illustrated by worked examples.
