Abstract
The paper describes the influence of residual stresses on the propagation of fatigue cracks in low-alloy steels used in the construction of North Sea Oil platforms. The results show faster crack growth in thicker plates and the development of secondary fatigue cracks in the residual stress field. Characteristics of fatigue crack growth are discussed.
