Abstract

This paper is concerned with the beneficial effects of additional holes or indentations on fatigue crack propagation. Two indentations facing each other at the tip of a crack are especially effective for retardation of crack propagation. The effect of the indentations can be approximately estimated from the existence of residual stresses produced by the indentations.
