Abstract

The rates of low-cycle fatigue crack propagation in 1 Cr-1 Mo-0·25 V low alloy steel were determined under several types of loading at 1000 F. It was found that crack growth rates correlate well with the nominal crack tip stress. This method was also applied with good results to some published data where the fracture mechanics stress intensity factor had given only limited correlation. Several questions are thus raised regarding the relative importance of crack tip stress and crack length during crack growth in actual components.
