摘要
Short crack growth mechanism and kinetics were studied under symmetrical push-pull straining in austenitic stainless 316L steel. Fatigue cracks initiated along strain localized areas and crack linking was the main mechanism of the early crack growth. Two different regimes in short crack growth rate were identified. Based on the experimental data, the quantitative description of crack propagation rates was obtained for short and long cracks. The integration of this equation can be used to predict the fatigue life or residual life and to evaluate the number of cycles necessary to reach a given crack length.
