Abstract
Recently, early stage of initiated fatigue crack propagation, so-called, “small crack” propagation behavior from notch-root is becoming more and more important for the developement of improved prediction of fatigue life of structural components. In the present paper, fine-grid-method which was already presented in the previous paper was applied to this problem. Special attention was given to the crack-tip strain changes of “small crack” engulfed in the plastic field of the notch. The relationship between fatigue crack propagation rate, da dN , and stress intensity factor range, ΔK, as well as local crack-tip strain range, Δϵ T, which was previously proposed by the authors were investigated.
